Wampson and chairy are really good at this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming Wiz and Jamesrobot are no-shows... Looks like no updates except from Skinny. 8:57 as im starting to write this. I am totally fine with the standings as they are if thats whats to be. @NESfiend I put in some time at the end but just couldnt quite steal the silver (thought it was gold until I checked just now). Nicely played. I could have done better on the -4 levels, seems like that has the highest ceiling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Morbis | 2,088 Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 And that's all she wrote! If I'm not mistaken, I think Nesfiend will end up in second place, just edging out Skinny... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did I get third again? @Reed Rothchild “third place Prince” Three 3rd place finishes in the tournaments now. It’s like the bluest balls you can have it’s painful. 6 minutes ago, Krunch said: Damn that's a great score. Well done to the tapewom Did you notice there is no bonus after stage four?

I would have then just run out the clock and made sure to get both at least double and try for triples.

Damn. If we have to tie from my perspective I was too damn greedy/rushed to put a proper placeholder up for QBert, is what it'll come down to for me. Other than maybe being able to do better on Dk jr., or getting on the board for Batman Returns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than maybe being able to do better on Dk jr., or getting on the board for Batman Returns. I think I could have gotten a qbert score had I been able to get my damn NES going in FL. I was getting to level 3 consistently already tues night and figuring it out. Ill take a tie for silver if Im counting right! That codename viper challenge was straight up awesome. Starting thurs night and getting obsessed with dk jr I didnt get time to really try til today. I would have loved to have a few days at that. @BeaIank, i think the format was awesome getting everyone to play every genre. I would have been more in without a week gap no NES. I do think 2 games a week is a grueling. We could extend that time. We play for the tourney all year. We could make it two games in 2 weeks or even 10 days and make it an even month. And again, love the short format for quick runs and optimizing. Nicely done!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tough minimums def. belong in a tournament but you are probably right regardless. @BeaIank@guillavoie Suggestion For Future Tournament: One game a day for a week. Announce the games at the beginning of the break week so everyone has time to obtain any carts or roms they need but no rules released until the tournament actually begins. So everyone has one day to play and post for the first game, and 2 days to play and post for the 2nd game and so on. Additionally it might be cool to temporarily separate Action & Platforming and add Racing for a total of 8 genres over 8 days = Sunday - Sunday. I found it just a bit fatiguing to fully entertain another 3 weeks of 2 games a piece after going all out for 30 weeks which is what got me thinking about this, but I also think a shorter faster do or die tournament over a single week could prove to be a very fun, very high energy ordeal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I went all out guns-a-blazing in the first round and got two wins, which afforded me the opportunity to ease up a little. This final week I went really hard from Monday to Wednesday, and once I beat the Code Name: Viper challenge, I was done for good because I knew very few - if any - contestants would be able to get from Area 5 to 8 on the highest difficulty on one credit; that was as brutal a challenge as I've seen in these NES weekly's.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docile tapeworm | 4,194 Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 Y’all know I can’t do two games a week I’ve seen all different tourney formats in the years I’ve been participating. It’s a tough ask to figure out a really good one. Different genres alone will lift some players while knocking others out. Honestly though the cream always rises to the top. my favorite format is the NCAA basketball style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docile tapeworm | 4,194 Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 @Dr. Morbis I can never play rush n attack again. No death low score. Fucking melted my brain that week. I got through it but every time I see that game i get that feeling like the first time you get real sick off goldshlager or jager when you were like 15 and get goes bumps and the quick shiver everytime you see/smell it….. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's my favourite too: the seeded bracket that makes your relative performance in the regular season actually matter, while at the same time giving everyone a fair 50/50 chance of getting through each round since you only have to beat one guy, so you never feel like you're out. The way this year's tourney went, it was a foregone conclusion heading into the final round, so majorly anticlimactic, which is the opposite of what you would want to see... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docile tapeworm | 4,194 Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 Oh I cruise all year long. I go hard on the good games I like but otherwise I just do bare minimum to get into the tournament where I hope to catch the perfect lineup of games…..it’s not worked out for me in seven years….. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
