mbd39 | 2,024 Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 I've dealt with some annoying enemies but the swooping bats take the cake. I don't know how to consistently deal with the swooping without getting killed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go back and jump on top of the barrel to the left of the first one that appears to take care of it before it swoops, then shoot the second one just as it starts diving at you...

BeaIank | 1,621 Events Team · Posted December 10, 2023 Author Share Posted December 10, 2023 Beat it TWICE, since there is story 1 and story 2. It is super fun. And no one seems to be very sporty this week. Not a single score for Capcom's Gold Medal Challenge '92 posted so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't see anything in the rules against playing smarter in this fashion so I figured why not go for it. But of course I will concur with whatever ruling our two Benefactors feel is appropriate....... Edited January 27 by PII 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because your 100M dash, and more specifically, your weightlifting seems literally impossible to do with a standard controller, unless you know some sort of trick or glitch about the game that no one else on the internet does... EDIT - Okay, I just saw that you used an apparatus to help you, which seems to me to be brazenly against the rules of fair competition to be bringing in physical devices to get a heads up, but I guess that's for @BeaIank to decide. Even when deafcode was tearing the games apart at code level, he was still actually playing the games normally with his own two hands... EDIT #2 - and if physical cheat devices are going to be allowed, that ruling needs to come down sooner than later so that we can redo our scores with whatever contraptions we can come with while there's still time...

Actually, the first quest is Stories 1 and 2, and then it gives you a password for the second quest which is Stories 3 and 4. I'm actually kind of surpised you didn't make us start on Story 4-8 instead of 2-8, since it is significantly harder to get through on the second loop. But I agree, the game is straight up awesome once you're good at it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, CN Viper was in last year's tourney. I disagree about it being tougher than Rolling Thunder, though; if you ever try to beat RT to get the true ending after 4-10, I'm sure you'll agree that 4-10 is way more difficult than the final level of Viper. RT feels like a 60's Bond movie to me, and then Viper is like the 80's remake that tries to capture the same spirit... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_wizard_666 | 1,325 Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 I was under the impression that physical aids, turbo controllers, etc, were banned at a macro level unless stated in the rules that it was okay. Like that was why it wasn't mentioned - because it shouldn't need to be expressly stated that it's cheating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generally speaking the rules disallow any sort of hardware acceleration and you are the one who is supposed to play the game. They don't need to be named specifically. You are essentially playing on steroids. This was fun and interesting to see and now delete your save and go play using a regular controller and your bare hands...

That's actually pretty cool. The Turbografx 16 has an interesting method that works on all games: pressing Select and Run at the same time resets the console; I'm thinking they did this because there is no reset button anywhere to be found on the system itself...

BlackVega | 583 Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 Me Cheetahmen2finalboss I ROLLED THE SCORE HERE so in reality it is supposed to be 1004380. There was nothing stated in the rules about it but I think it should definitely count but in case it doesn't (I would be extremely disappointed) then here's another run below Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
