Okay /v/ this was supposed to happen a couple of days ago but it's better late than never.
Let's go through mission 2 of metal slug 3 together.
prev thread: >>319349620
For the sake of having the thread go faster and the game being too fast-paced for good pictures we'll be using webms instead of screenshots.
The zombies here are bullet sponges so it's faster to take them out with your melee attack. When you're within their vomit range make sure you crouch since their vomit will land just a bit behind you rather than right on top of you. Unless you're right at the end of their throw-up radius
There's also a secret here if you turn into a zombie and toss your cookies near this camp here.
As demonstrated by best girl here.
Get it quickly before it spoils for 1000 points. Otherwise it's 100.
don't be afraid to do this since there's always an antidote in the crate ahead.
>>319673849
>As demonstrated by best girl here
I don't see Eri anywhere?
There's a bump here that'll make things a bit tricky if you're not careful. Crouching here won't let you survive zombie goo since you're a bit higher. If you turn into a zombie here there's no guarantee you'll get an antidote right away since most of the zombies ahead for the most part are randomized.
>>319674030
Cheeky.
>>319673326
>>319673849
>>319674281
I cant remember the other game I saw you (if it even was you) but it was enjoyable.
Thanks for keeping this place from being an absolute trash heap
Crouch walk here to go to the lower path and rescue the POWs and the CEO and he'll give you a coin and a thunder cloud.
Notice how you get an ammo count when you pick it up. You can only use it up to thirty times so make sure it counts. It won't be able to hit any zombies that are too near the edge of the screen.
Also don't worry about the zombies infecting you here, just stab the fuck out of them and you're good to go. You're a bit lower than 'em so most of them won't be able to infect you so easily. I think the fat one will be able to though if you're not quick enough.
>>319673849
>Best girl
my niggaDont touch my waifu btw or i´ll kill you.
Go through the yeti cave please. thats my fetish.
Remember what I said about that vomit radius. Be careful with this shit infecting you. Be close to a civilian so that they'll get infected instead of you.
Also there's a couple of POWs hidden to the left here. Make sure you don't jump too far ahead or you won't be able to shoot that secret spot to free 'em.
also this is Utan. He's not very useful but he's still pretty cool.
Grab the enemy chaser here but try to conserve some ammo by stabbing the soldiers that come at you here instead. Some of them will try stabbing you themselves if you're close enough or throw a grenade. Just keep moving and you're fine.
I kind of fucked up here though as you can see.
>>319675262
Just stream it you fag
>implying getting that MASTER NINJA achievement
>>319675515
You know i used to play pretty much like this every playthrough , i still can´t beat this stage boss without dying once.
Fuck my life.
Here comes the helicopters. Shoot the red one down so that the others will follow suit.
Don't shoot it down too quickly when it first shows up though or it just won't happen since the other helicopters haven't spawned yet.
>>319675540
streaming's gay. this is a better format since I can actually talk about how to do things
>>319675865
you'll learn how to soon.
>>319675669
one day
>>319675965
>you'll learn how to soon.
its been like 5 years since i´ve stopped playing this game.
At least i still know X patterns by heart.
>>319675965
Whoops. There's actually more to talk about here.
You'll notice that I didn't grab the flame shot right away here. It's because that shit's super powerful, right next to the shotgun. You'll want that over the heavy machine gun later.
The top helicopter has the heavy machine gun so try to shoot that down first if you can. If you shoot the bottom one down first try not to get the flame shot yet.
If you got the flame shot anyway, try not to get the heavy machine gun that falls from the other helicopter.
If you got the heavy machine gun anyway then things will be a little harder but still manageable.
>>319676315
Super Heavy Machine gun is my gunfu.
Best weapon.
Alright, here's a pro tip.
When you're jumping down here, try and follow Utan's arc and flame shot just before you reach the bottom. If you do it correctly your flame shot will spread across the ground and hit every single enemy in one shot. I fucked up here though.
Also turn left here to go through the ice caves. This isn't an option unless you're a fucking filthy casual.
Wait a bit right after you open the entrance for a couple of POWs to give you some crap. Including some handy grenades. Very important.
Here's what happens when you do it the RIGHT way.
Notice how in the previous webm I'm closer to the rightmost zombie but the flames still don't hit it. That's because I shot too soon.
Here it's shot JUST before we hit the ground.
>>319676609
I fucking hate the ice caves, the endless waves of those flingy zombies always rek me
>>319676609
I love the ice caves
Casual filter , if you get it right you get massive POWs and massive score.
>>319676957
Agreed, fuck the caves, its way harder for no real benefit.
Alright, here we go. Ice caves. The flame shot makes this easy if you know what you're doing.
Don't waste any ammo on the yetis at the beginning here unless you're going for a score, here we're doing it just for the sake of doing it. And the POWs. Gotta get the POWs.
The yetis here are much slower than the ones later. Try not to pick up any weapons since your flame shot is so good.
USE YOUR FUCKING GRENADES.
You've got forty of them, it wouldn't hurt to use maybe half of them. More if you're good at the zombie trick for the boss later.
Focus on the yetis at the bottom since those are the ones that can actually kill you. You can take your time with the ones at the top,
>>319677263
>Completly ignoring the Iron Lizard
My nigga. Worst weapon of all thats not the Dropshot
Snow Eri a cute! CUTE!!!
Important note: Don't use ALL of your grenades here since you'll need some for the boss. You'll get ten more after the first phase of it but it's a bit late then.
>>319677605
For sure.
ok that's enough
One of these asses always takes two flameshots to kill.
Shoot down the rest of what's in your way and move on.
You better not turn into a zombie to blood spam the aliens
There's a hidden cache of coins here, grab 'em all together for the max amount of points and free your rad friend here.
If you jump RIGHT after your eighth strike you'll be able to ride him right away.
>>319678095
>not using the animation cancel to quickly kill bulletsponge enemies with melee
I can´t remember wherever they fixed that in 3 , or it was in 2 only
I remember doing it all day in 2/X
>>319677921
I like how Tarma and Marco use Colts/Automatic
While Fio and Eri use Double Action revolvers.
Go on ahead and shoot everything. Jump off from your rad as hell friend to pick up the medals here. The diamonds that drop from the later corpse are impossible to get if you focus on shooting and nothing more. It'll dissapear before you have a chance to jump off so I recommend having a friend pick em up if you're playing co-op.
You'll notice that your friend will sometimes eat an apple dropped from a zombie. Make sure he finishes his snack so that he can eat the chili peppers/car battery that's dropped here. Insane power!
Important:: The tarman at the top as annoying pricks, if you see their vomit coming at you make sure you dodge by jumping off your elephant. You're completely invincible when you doing your sonic impersonation here.
>>319678072
Just you wait. I don't see how your way is any more impressive though. It's still spam.
>>319678648
Man , I love doing that Eject exploit to tank hits.
>tfw a huge casual on metal slug games and always get killed over and over and over
>tfw wasted all my kid ages playing these games and still can't get good no matter what
The value of the valuables you collect here are randomized.
Sometimes they're 100, sometimes they're 30,000.
Big difference, I know.
Take advantage of your friend's reserve here. He can shoot his laser up to ten times and it isn't subtracted from your personal reserve of grenades so go nuts. Focus on shooting the tar-men at the top.
Also pick up the flame shot that's dropped here, you'll need it for later.
See here? We're picking up some 30,000s. Completely random though. Sometimes there's more.
Also he'll ONLY get this super cool attack if he eats the car battery/chili peppers earlier on so make CERTAIN he does. Otherwise you'll just throw your grenades like a dumpy faggot.
>>319678991
You need practice. Practice, practice, practice.

>>319677524
this is some touhou shit right there
So once you've said goodbye to your rad as fuck friend back there you're going to go through a down-hill slop of zombies.
The flame shot's helpful here since one shot to any zombie will fuck 'em up.
If you don't have the flame shot for this part you're going to have to play leap-frog with the infected enemy soldiers.
>>319679412
MY DICK CAN ONLY GET SO ERECT.also weren't hansel men allied to most of those sprites on all of the games?also what with the russians? i never saw them on my whole life
>>319675540
Why? Why would you want him to stream it when he could just upload webm? Why do you want to encourage attention whoring? OP isn't using a trip and as actually posting GAMING related things?
Okay. Here's the tricky part.
Play close attention.
Kill the first zombie here, wait for him to burn and grab his antidote so that when the game forces you to go left later for the cut-scene you won't pick it up by accident.
Get turned into a zombie and shoot down the other two zombies, NOT picking up the antidotes they drop.
Notice how at the end here Eri turns quicker while she's shooting. NOTICE IT YOU BITCH. If you shoot during her turning animation she'll cancel it out. Insanely important.
Eri>Marco>Tarma>Fio
you're free to disagree but this is my opinion and I know in my heart it is right.
So what's better emulation or the steam version (that i'm pretty sure I already own anyway because of one bundle or another)
for what it's worth my computer kinda sucks so I wouldn't be entirely surprised if there's some kinda slowdown
also are there any good ports on PS3 or PS4
So once the Six(6) boss freaks have appeared, go to the left IMMEDIATELY and throw your cookies.
Then start heading to the right.
If it turns out you're right beneath their shooting than head back left. If their shots are coming from various sides than go for the antidote, don't be a hero.
I was lucky and managed to stay a zombie here. If you go down the zombie route, than wait until they've started coming back to the foreground and let loose your blood vomit.
Get ready.
>>319680339
this is amazing.
Vomit just a bit before the second phase boss comes out so your attack will start hitting him right away.
Keep vomiting.
There's a sweet spot somewhere where I'm standing that will give you a bit of time and have a pillar fall just a bit to the left of you so that you can focus on vomiting instead.
I was too scared though so I went a bit to the right before I attacked again. same results though. Boss is defeated. There goes mission 2.
And here are all the POWs we've rescued.
>>319678072
Uzi chimp!
MISSION COMPLETE.
That's all for now. Next time's mission 3. Thanks for reading.
>>319680626
next time, is tomorrow?
>>319680638
Either tomorrow or the day after.
>>319680659
but why?
>>319680136
Nigger just get the collection on PS2
or PSP
>>319678648
That's what the mammoth does?
Thank you OP, this was a good thread.
I wish I was better at Metal Slug.
>>319680626
>no winning animations because of the zombie mode
One job.
>>319680626
Good thread op.
Thanks for keeping this place from being a shithole 24/7
See you soon
>>319680706
Life.
>>319680991
Life sucks, drop from it.
>>319681032
well that and these threads need some prep for them beforehand too.
>>319681327
well fuck, and nobody ever mention a good emulator for all the games.
>>319681751
Winkawaks for Metal slug 1-5
For metal slug 6 check out your options here: http://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Sega_Dreamcast_emulators
Or just emulate the psp/ps2 version.
For metal slug XX just use ppsspp.
>>319682130
damn i want to play fucking metal slug 7.
>>319682325
Metal slug XX is the same as 7, with more paths, graphical improvements, and multiplayer.
If you really want to play metal slug 7 there's several DS emulators out there but I suggest you just play XX.
>>319682524
wow thanks anon, ill do it, any hopes they will make a metal slug 8?
>>319682636
I don't know.
Some chinese company bought out SNK and they're saying they're taking the "marvel route" with new games, comics and movies.
sauce: http://dreamcancel.com/2015/08/06/snk-playmore-acquired-by-chinese-company/
On one hand I've always wanted a metal slug anime. But on the other hand... It's a chinese company
>>319682973
Why the fuck would japanese hand A VIDEO GAME IP to the motherfucking kings of bootlegs?
>>319682973
What does the "marvel route" even mean? Live action movies and tv shows based on SNK games? Who would watch that?
What difficulty are you playing on, OP?
OP's a cool dude.
>>319680626
Nice thread anon keep it up
>>319683320
Me
>>319683381
I was confused too..
Apparently, yeah.
>>319676609
Cant you get more 2 soldier POWs if you throw nades or something after the first 2 and before going in?
>>319680626
This was a great thread OP, excited for the next one.
>Save States
>>319683704
Level 4. AKA Normal.
>>319685207
well, the scores are consistent throughout the webms so that's not the case.
winkawaks also brings up a prompt that you've loaded/saved a state so you'd definitely know if it were.
>>319685920
>scores are consistent
Do you even know how save states work?
>implying that shitty emulator is the only way to play MS3
>>319686020
>shitty emulator
it's really good, actually. Metal slug doesn't lag on it for me unlike mame.
The scores being consistent is pretty good proof too since a lot of the values for the valuables are randomized.
>>319686296
>It doesn't lag
It's SUPPOSED to lag.
Have you ever played it on real hardware?
Besides you can set overclock the cpu even further in MAME, completely removing any kind lag.
Here's a question,
what happens if you pick up Super Grenade when you're fat?
>>319686523
I have, but it's nice to not have any, y'know? Also I've gotta try that out on MAME. Had no idea that was even possible.
>>319674281
>Girl drops a love letter
>Guy likely gave it to her
It's the small shit, man.
>Not saving the civilians from the zombies
How does it feel to be the worst MS3 player in all of recorded human history, OP?
>>319680136
Steam version for convenience, dedicated emulators for accuracy.
You won't ever convince friends to download a ROM and emulator to play online with you unless they already have fightcade, though.
>>319680626
CURSES I MISSED IT.
Can you set a time for next time OP? I have tons of Metal Slug 3 trivia to unload, and this is the only place.
>>319674281
>not saving all the survivors
>>319689176
You get points!

>>319679354
Poor elephant comes to your rescue just to end up in the same place he started
Honestly its shit like this, that SNK put a ton of work in but hid away to be used for 30 seconds, its why they died.

>2 player only
what does this entail?

What time zone are you in?
