Gloves | 11,776 Administrator · Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 One strat I think has merit, though I'm not good at it (too impatient) is to never shoot the millipede. The very first millipede is a single unit, and will never spawn single units if left alone. If you can just leave the first millipede entirely in tact and keep dodging it (not that hard honestly), you can rack points from spiders. You'd be on level 1 forever so nothing ever gets any faster, it's a slow patience game. My scores thus far are from just straight up playing normally and not dying for as long as I can.

My scores thus far are from just straight up playing normally and not dying for as long as I can. @BeaIank would we consider that points pressing? Anyhow, I wasn’t aware of that. Slowly I’m building a different strategy. I’m no where near half you guys score but if you can build paths to specific DDTs for a couple stages, you can triple your segment scores but also use the DDT to take how the whole centipede. It’s not a ton of points but it helps. But yeah, you can get 2,400 for an entire centipede with a DDT or go for two spiders at 1,200. Go figure? The scoring in this game is wack. Still fun, though.

BeaIank | 1,618 Events Team · Posted April 5, 2023 Author Share Posted April 5, 2023 Yeah, that would be point pressing and I will add a rule nerfing it. I think I will allow at most 3 minutes of farming the millipede on each round. Thoughts about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a3quit4s | 4,097 Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 This is why I just go for participation, I play the games for fun and I know I’m not gonna be top 6 or whatever. Honestly, the weekly contest just gets me to actually play my NES games which I’m grateful for. These people be sitting up at 2am slamming mountain dews on their princess TVs trying to come up with new ways to outsmart Millipede lol 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still can't stop trying though. I'm going to try and hold back my best score for a while. Again, it won't matter, but that can be fun sometimes.
