I got this.

At 2:02, the man says, "I got this" and shoots a few arrows, which are all deflected and don't work. Then, the man says, "I don't got this".

Here, what does "I got this" mean? Does it mean "I've got this" or the past tense of "I get this"?

Also, what does "I don't got this" mean? Shouldn't it be either "I haven't got this" or "I didn't get this"?

It's I've got this. The contraction of the auxiliary verb is frequently dropped in this idiom when said in informal situations. It means "Don't worry. I will be able to succeed at this."
