I'm sure it's the latter, but I wanna make sure before I delete pics Best cumulative time. You have to do the 4 fights in a row. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use the boxes. I'm not trying to cause not enough health to even beat it. Although I did actually fall thru accidentally once or twice. I found some health that I missed on level 3, but it still hasnt been enough to keep me alive... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I thought, but figured I'd check. 3 of the 4 matches were best times anyway, so I just swapped them. The difference was only a few seconds on the final match, so I wasn't worried. I'm rather enjoying it, so kudos on a great pick! Batman Returns was a tough one, or I wouldn't be running last-minute matches to get a good score now 2 minutes ago, Krunch said: I'm not trying to cause not enough health to even beat it.

Did you notice that the last cat head on 2-2 sometimes doesn't drop the health, but actually drops a test tube looking thing? If you luck out and get that, it knocks half of Catwoman's health off at the start of the fight. It's random though, but I think it may be worth an extra trip down to get it. I also realize that, while you can definitely spend time grinding points there, you're better off not bothering, as there's only a couple enemies and it could take ages to really make a difference. Not worth the effort IMO, but yeah, a run or two to secure the test tube is HIGHLY recommended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batman Returns was a tough one, or I wouldn't be running last-minute matches to get a good score now I absolutely thought it would be a good pick for the finals if we did just a bunch of matches rather than going for the title. It is a great game and 4 matches can be done rather quickly to improve your times. Same with Batman. Keeping it sweet, nice and short was the mentality I went for when picking the games for the 3 rounds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keeping it sweet, nice and short was the mentality I went for when picking the games for the 3 rounds. Batman was a lot tougher to get a good score though. Beating the Organ Grinder was a pain that took me all week to finally knock off. At least Pro Wrestling is pretty easy, I'm pretty sure I can at least get top 5 on that one. But yeah, the rest of the competition, while all great choices, are gonna be tough for me to even post a score in. But this is what I meant by saving the hardcore stuff until the final...anyone can coast into the tournament round, but only the best of the best will get a ton of points in it. No death run of Life Force? Yeah, not happening for this old bastard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a special wrestler that you face in the final title unification match and he's a real challenge to defeat via pinfall.

It's a fun experience for anyone that enjoys the game and wants to give it a try after the tournament is over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been exhausted lately. I put a moderate effort this week into Batman and haven't had any more oomph or patience to even bother with Pro Wrestling beyond a brief screwing around to see if it might be easy to cheese.. Not sure why it would be, but I do not recall any fire breathing... ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn, after seeing you going so hard all season, I thought I was going up against your very best, so I put a ton of hours into practicing Batman Returns...

Being out of town a good portion of week 2 and 3, I was just hopikg to get respectable scores week 1. Batman returns was a fun challenge and it really is a great game in my opinion.

Nah, not this time. I had maybe one quarter of the energy I would have needed this week to pull off a win on batman + some kind of ranking on a sports game like pro wrestling. I may have an aftershock or three in me somewhere along the line here in the next two weeks, but don't count on it. I would say you are def the front runner for the tournament although it looks like MBD might be lookin' to give you a run for your money... (Edit: I thought he had a time of 2:15 on pro wrestling, whoops.) EDIT - and the fire breathers are the two guys with like pitchforks or something that shoot fireballs at you whenever they're on the edge of the screen. Oh, right; of course -those little pew pew pellets they shoot. I was imagining something like Dhalsim's big fire blow and thinking, what is he talking about?

But Ive done as many runs as I have in me It's a pretty cool game and I had fun with it in spite of a bit of frustration from time to time. It's really easy to "get ahead of the program" with this game, like I'll be trying to turn and punch/jump real quick and get nothing from the controller input because I'm trying to do it too fast. Even once I got the rhythm down it still happened from time to time and would be really frustrating. That and poor hit detection at times are it's downfalls, but its not horrendous or anything, just takes some practice. Makes me wonder how Batman Returns on SNES is. I've had it for some time now but haven't given it a serious go yet beyond a single rudimentary test run a few years ago... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it's a great game, solid music and graphics and whatnot; its only real downfall is the cumbersome play control. They tried to do way too much with the limited inputs on an NES controller, and as a result you wind up doing stuff you didn't mean to do far too often. If they could have fixed up the play control a little bit, this would have been an A-grade game... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
