Washington, USAHello, It looks like the mods for Ninja Gaiden Shadow have been inactive for a while now. Of the three that are there, it appears that only one has some kind of sparse activity on the site (logged in 25 days ago) and twitter, and I am unable to reach them by DM. I have a submitted run that has been in limbo for a little more than 3 months, and there are a couple of new runners with plans to submit runs that will also need to be attended to. Could I be added as a moderator for the board please?
Thank for your time
Hello,
Glad someone else is getting into this game, it's a great one. I can't add much on the number of frames you need to stall to manipulate the shieldy AI, but it's got a pretty forgiving window to it. I just lift my thumb and then press the d-pad pretty much as fast as I can as they come on screen and it seems to work well for me without issue. There is a finicky one during the conveyor section in level 2 just before the boss where a quick turn around seems to work best for me (~4:10 of this video ), but outside of that I use the same slight pause strategy on the rest of them.
As for the ninpo damage... That's correct, it does the same damage as the sword, (2 damage per hit) and can hit multiple times although yeah two hits seems to be most common. I've managed to get it to hit 4 times on a couple of bosses, but I haven't made it very consistent yet.
I had started to dig into the game memory and figure a few things out, but ended up getting side tracked and haven't made it back to it yet. Everything I know and have collected so far on that front is here in this document.

I hope it's useful to you. Good luck with the runs, and let me know if I can help with anything else.
