Bitch please. I’ll play this week.

I'm done for the week so you should be able to beat me. 

[SuperJimtendo | 1,123]

Initial score posted. Mark Henry singing that chain around have me some trouble. 

[Gloves | 11,780]

I'm gonna put this out there in the world now rather than later and say that I assume we're not allowed to infinitely point press level 2. You can punch/kick his fireball for 100 points each, and while it's not easy to do, it is infinite.

Isn't this game boring enough without point pressing?

Added a rule that you have 1 full minute to beat Tao, so some point pressing will be allowed at stages 2, 7 and 12.

Me thinking I might have to play one more time.

Reserved.

Is this an NES title, or is this one of those Famicom weeks?

It's noteworthy in that case (sorry) that you can do the same on Lang as well.

• You must beat Tao and Lang (stages 2, 4, 7, 9, 12 and 14) within one minute time at each time. If you can't beat him within one minute time, your run is over. Pause and take your picture.
• Pause your game after you respawn if you die or at the start of the fight at stage 16 and take your picture

this is a very complicated ruleset. I don't see a timer in this game.

I am trusting the honour code here.

It is either that or "Your run ends if you hit a fireball or star for points". Allowing some point pressing there can allow the winner to best optimize it.

You could set a fireball limit, like you can only hit them five times.

I never even thought to hit the fireballs anyway, I always just ducked or jumped over them.

A 5 fireball limit means a set amount of points. A timer limit forces one to consider how many fireballs they can hit in that time span and still beat the opponent.

Score updated. Still can't figure out Chen.

I think it really comes down to simply "pinky promise to not abuse it". Like, in my runs he basically shoots one or two fireballs, then I trap him in a corner and he never does it again, so the point is moot. 

It's different with the throwing stars cuz she'll throw them from relatively close range, but even so once I get her cornered it becomes a non-issue. 

The throwing star chick will throw much more often than fireball guy does his thing, so she's more farmable if someone were so inclined. Fireball guy will approach you much faster while throwing star is happy to hang back more.

Exactly. I am allowing you all to do it. Just don't overdo the point pressing on those fighters.

Yeah. I'm not point pressing fireballs or ninja stars. I did what I could and hopefully it gets me in the top 5.

No sane person wants to play three loops of this. You are better off going for the 5000 point perfect bonus instead of farming projectiles.

New score. Still not beat stage 3. 

Wang looks like the cartoon version of inspector clousseau and Sgt slaughter had a large baby.

I hope his last name is Chung.
