Also makes killing the second boss a lot faster.Stage 4 Crawler: There are a lot of areas where you are forced to kill enemies before you can move on, and vulcan is more powerful than heavy machine gun (the only other choice). Missiles pretty much tear through everything in a few seconds.Stage 2 Tank: Allows me to go through the soldier infested area with ease. If you killed a boss faster in a lower difficulty than I did, that doesn't necessarily mean your method is faster than mine in hard mode.Q: Why do you get inside so many vehicles? Aren't they slower?A: Yes, vehicles move more slowly than your character moves on-foot, but usually you have less firepower on-foot then you do in a vehicle, and there are a lot of areas where you are forced to kill enemies before you can move on.Stage 2 Missile Launcher: If you go on foot the rocket launcher wears out before you can even get to the destructible wall, and the extra grenades would be wasted on destroying the vehicles. The patterns of the final boss are almost completely different due to either faster patterns, or more lasers on the screen at once.Taking the alternate path in stage 3 not only takes longer, you don't get a flame shot, making the boss fight at least twice as long. Also when you pick up a combo item you're invincible for about a second, but I don't think I ever used the invincibility from a combo item to my advantage.Q: You seem to take time to collect weapons and/or grenades a lot, are you sure it's worth it?A: Yes, I'm almost positive I have made good choices on all the weapon and grenade pickups.Q: Are you sure you took the right paths?Yes, the alternate path in the first stage gives you a crappier weapon for fighting the boss. When you enter a screen you're invincible for about 2 seconds, I exploit this constantly in the final stage. Furthermore, it lets me save ammo for the Allen fight.Q: There are some areas where you don't move forward even though you can, why?A: There are only three areas I can recall where I do this, two in stage 4, one in stage 5.Stage 4 after the first two helicopters: You can't move on until you kill all the vehicles, and if you spawn the tank and the second set of helicopters together it simply becomes too difficult to dodge everything.Stage 4 at the beginning of the top path: If I moved forward before killing the fat zombie on the top, five extra zombies would have spawned on the right side of me.Stage 5 when I first get outside: If I moved forwards while firing my super grenade at the tank three soldiers would fire a set of weapons that is nearly impossible to dodge (rolling bomb, bazooka shot, and a rocket).Q: There are some places where a bullet passed through you, why didn't you die?There are two things that make you invincible in this game. The tank cannon takes care of the enemies faster than a heavy machine gun could.
Eject From The Tank Metal Slug Plus I GetIron lizards are a terrible weapon against this boss because they only travel across the ground, unable to hit the boss. There is a mistake I made against the boss, but you're probably not going to notice it.Stage 2: The only big problem here was the bad luck I received against the boss. Anyways Metal Slug 5 sucks worse =P-I used Nadia because pigtails are hot =PStage 1: Basically my run of this stage was nearly flawless. I am planning on running more Metal Slug games in the near future so no need to worry, this isn't my last. Even though the path I take in stage 5 is forced scrolling, it's about 20-30 seconds faster than staying on the top, plus I get a super grenade to take care of the vehicles.Q: I hate this Metal Slug game, it's the worst! Why did you play this bastard-child of a Metal Slug game?A: Yes, I know this is the most hated out of the Metal Slug games, but I like it because it still has plenty of shooting action and if you don't like it, then don't watch it.Again, I managed to get really good luck in weaponry against this boss (usually it won't even drop anything).Stage 6: This is the first time I reached this stage on one life in a single-segment run, so I was really nervous (my hands were constantly shaking throughout the final boss fight). Yes, my luck in weaponry against the boss was ridiculous.Stage 5: I really, really, really hate the boss of this stage. With the flame shot I kill him before he has completed the sawblade attack.Stage 4: The only mistake here was not having as much flame shot as I could have for the boss. The fastest you can kill the boss with the shotgun is when he shoots the three energy shots. If you're wondering about the sawblade, it takes about a half-second for a hit to register.If you're thinking the shotgun is more powerful against the boss, then you're wrong. Yes, I almost died against the boss twice. Left side of the brainThere is a mistake I made with weapon usage, but I doubt it cost me much time. The second time I stop shooting the boss is simply to make sure I'm not going to get hit by any bullets.Final Boss final form: If you have any doubts if collecting all those grenades was worth it, watch as I unload over 50 grenades into the boss and he STILL LIVES (once I unloaded 84 grenades and it didn't die instantly). If I don't shoot down all the satellites by the time the sawblade starts moving to the left I'm basically SOL. The first time I turned around to shoot the missiles was purely out of idiocy.Final Boss second form: The first time I stop shooting the boss is to make sure I shoot down all the satellites above me. I momentarily forgot about the businessman holding grenades and ammo, but I don't think it cost me much time.About the Allen fight, if he is on the lower platform I can't jump over to his side or else I will be shot instantly.Final Boss first form: I couldn't hit the blue missiles, preventing me from getting 300 heavy machine gun bullets, but other than that no problems. The only significant mistake is towards the end of the stage when I'm in the tank. Eject From The Tank Metal Slug Series So ExpectDon't worry I am still working on the Metal Slug series so expect to see more Metal Slug runs in the future. The best luck ever would involve more grenades or a laser from one of the robots.-I think this my best run yet, and hopefully you will think so too.
