I was immediately envious of your 303 score because I like this song, but like the nickname I think it is also very fitting for you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I tidy up everything I'm doing I can still get a bit of score improvement, but that would still leave at least 150k on the table and I can't seem to figure where you're getting it. If I was any good at slash climbing that would make another small improvement, but not nearly enough. I'm currently farming/burning on level 1 and or on the Train so figure you must be farming some spot after that additionally, presuming you're going about things in a similar way as myself. My best guess would be that you're able to efficiently farm the beginning of the second wind area with a handful of enemies/orbs... You've already said you're not taking advantage of shadow ninjas to do it... so, what's the secret? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gloves | 11,841 Administrator · Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 I get around 130-150k per life burnt on level 1, then 100k before I run to the boss. 2-1 I get around 80-100k, and then I basically just go straight to the boss.

Gloves | 11,841 Administrator · Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 If you can figure out what I do on level 1, you'll know what I do on 2-1. Then it's just execution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm confident I could pick up a controller and easily get a 500k+ score though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was actually planning to go nuts this week since it's a really good game and I'm a platform guy, but I ended up getting a new (to me) pinball on Sunday and have spent most of my free time this week making room in the basement and then setting up/playing it. I'm gonna spend a good three or four hours on NG2 either tonight or tomorrow, though... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 1-1 there's the three critters that keep falling on you and that you have to duck to hit, and they're worth 200 points each. I'm guessing you figured out an especially lucrative way to farm there. Note that even if I'm right, I'm not giving away much, because whatever you're doing is tough to execute. Edited June 17, 2023 by mbd39 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not it, and what I'm doing is easy to execute, just carpal tunnel inducing cuz you have to do it super fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the most lucrative area that I could find in level 1. It's also where this guy farms in this video. I wonder how he missed a more optimal location.

It's possible he's pacing himself because it's the entire game rather than only first two stages. Anyway, now that I know there's a better spot I'm going to have to look for it. I have no idea what it would be. There's the throwing star ninjas that pop out of the floor and are worth 300 but I never found a good way to farm them.

I dunno beyond 2-2 whether any higher scoring opps exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt I'd make the top 5 anyway, but it's almost worth playing again just so I don't finish last if you're seriously not playing again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
