I will figure better ways and better rules as we go onwards. There are a lot of great games on the NES that can be used for competition. What do you mean by “you people”?

I used to grind grind grind myself into the ground to get the best score….found myself getting burnt out. Now I just play casual and if I naturally get vested I grind for the win IF IM STILL HAVING FUN IN THE PROCESS. Final placement is the byproduct of my enjoyment now days. I know that. I just play to have a good time and beat @Bearcat-Doug. Who just keeps kicking my ass. I call out the Doctor because he just irritates me with his rule gripes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbd39 | 2,030 Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 Ninja Gaiden 3 is the best for a score contest because it doesn't have respawning enemies. One life NG3 is where it's at. The first two are much more tedious for a contest unless it's a speedrunning competition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk I feel like I watched a speed run where a good amount was taking hits on purpose. I could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will have to figure out something that isn't boring as hell for it. I hate it too. I'm 100% in favor of changing the game that week to something I like and am better at.

I could be wrong. Well I don't think we'd be working at that high of a level. The Ninja Gaiden's are designed so well that you can't help but want to kill everything in your path with a single slash, and running as fast as you can makes it even more enjoyable. Mega Mans and many other games have bullet-sponge enemies but Tecmo got it right with the "one hit kills everything except bosses" game design... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Morbis | 2,092 Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 @PII Did you go back and grind out a score to top mine or have you been holding that score for a while? Either way, congrats on second. I'm happy with third, assuming no one comes out of the woodwork in the last half hour... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, your score is good as well, particularly for someone who did little to no grinding. I was not holding it. I was having trouble pushing past a 377K score that I hadn't posted until I realized something pretty obvious that I'd been chronically missing that made it easy enough to add another 25K. Phew!

Yeah, I realized that the timer resets after the train, so if I had been really into it all week, I would've looked for a good spot to grind down the timer on 2-2 as well as 2-1, but as it was I already had enough points to (hopefully) podium, so I said fuck it, I'm done.

The only spot that might have been worth it on 2-2 was the beginning of the 2nd area w/ a bunch of enemies and a thingy that refills your ninjutsu points. I found it rather troublesome though. Pretty sure now I was doing something similar to ol' Glovsie although I think he was doing a lot of slash-jumping which I was not, along with jump-slashing certain enemies, which I was not so much doing either...
