I managed to do a little better, but I think I'm done. I doubt that I'm going to feel like playing anymore tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't loop any of the caves and I played it safe in some sections. I can see how Tom got over 400k. I still managed to start the final area with 310k.

mbd39 | 2,017 Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 I even got hit by a couple wall blocks so I thought that would kill the run. Thankfully it was still okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see how it's possible, but I doubt I could break 400k. I'd be happy with 350k since that's about where I should have been on my last run.

Thankfully it was still okay. I remember in that 521k video where the guy burned his extra lives in that section. I can usually make it past the blocks without getting hit, but I don't think I'd want to risk looping that area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbd39 | 2,017 Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 I'm not great at dealing with two Chins or Abobos at the same time. That's my main weakness with playing for high score I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I used any of the strats from that video other than headbutting enemies. I'm also not using the same strats that I used in 2018. I switched to higher scoring ones.

Richardhead | 2,813 Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 You’re not trapping the Linda in stage one or trapping the chin in stage 2? That’s crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can usually get the enemies to cooperate without much trouble. The Linda at the end of Mission 3 seems to be the most stubborn about getting into position.

You can back up the last one left at the end of Mission 3 to the edge of the platform and punch away like at the 30 minute section of the video, but that one seems stubborn about getting into position.

Why does holding a whip matter? More points? I was kicking a linda until clock ran all the way down using the same strategy used on the first boss on video rich posted. Up 2 steps, kick, down 2 steps kick, rinse repeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it does outside of keeping them from getting it. I didn't bother picking the whip up either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
