May be able to get one more run in and up it to like 250, but its you and michael show for sure. @PIIlurking as well. Happy with where I got never having played for score. Feel like I built enough foundation that I could potentially be up battling for it if we ever play it again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to make a run at 400k some day, but there's no way I'm hitting that tonight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was able to finish the game, so that maxed out my score. You should be able to beat it, but I'm seriously done this time. Based on Tom's record, I'm still leaving 120k points on the table.

No time this week - gonna have to phone it in. I'll see if I can get something above participation... EDIT: Okay, just played one game of this (for the first time in 20 years) and here's what I came up with. I should have more time for Wrecking Crew. 42,680 Edited August 1, 2021 by Dr. Morbis 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I burned them running out the timer in the forest in mission 3, mainly focusing on the Chins and Ropers. Most lucrative area for point pressing as well as being easy to do so. That left me with one life by the time I got to the caves, but I had a shitload of points. I started mission 4 with close to 270k so I could play it kind of safe and still get well over 300k.

I used the elevator section of Mission 4. I could stand by the first door and just keep headbutting the Williams as they came out. I had tried the beginning section once like in the video, but I figured my way was safer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I considered point pressing there, but those Williams get so aggressive that I decided not. I take a lot of damage from them. Maybe I should have tried.

So that section is actually where I screwed up hard. I got a few of those guys with lots of headbutts, but I kept knocking them down a level and it takes forever for them to climb back up. Hadnt played that part this whole competition, so I didn't know how much time platforming portions took. You and @mbd39are gods amongst men here, but if we ever play again, ill be nipping at your heals next time! Crazy scores and efforts made the thread really fun to keep up with 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting to that section with all my lives pretty much guaranteed a good run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbd39 | 2,020 Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Oh, and this was the wall strat that I used. I had another strat but this is much quicker and safer as long as you don't screw it up (which I did in my 345k run!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may be possible for you DD guys, but I'll be lucky to hit 50,000 at all. I thought you would show up with a 400k score at the last minute just to torment me for old times sake. @NESfiend was probably secretly watching for it too.

Even though its a beat em up, its such a classic/staple in the NES library, I figured Bert would be a monster at it. Was def surprised there. More surprised @PIIdidnt do a sunday score update to kick me off the podium. He was at 222k wed or Thurs. I figured he was grinding trying to get to you and mbd territory.

Bert did well in the 2016 low score contest, but he doesn't seem to like Double Dragon games much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
