I was on a mad rush when a plane flew behind my boat and shot me down with four large missles in a row??! Nice progress! The whirlpools are one of the most obnoxious obstacles in the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waterfalls on surival stagss Im starting to figure out. But the waterfalls and everything else about the jump the river stage are completely insane. Ive only tried a few times, but Im not even close. I dont see me beating that on one life, which doesn't leave a lot of room to grow score. Also, I know now its not actually called jump the river, but my term well embodies the ridiculousness of that level Edited August 12, 2021 by NESfiend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docile tapeworm | 4,196 Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 crazy as it sounds i think i can make a late season push to get into the tourney. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbd39 | 2,018 Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 (edited) POW is the next game that I know well. At least I can 1cc that one, I've never no deathed it. Maybe this year I'll finally no death it. Gradius II and Galaga coming up. Tough shooters. Actually there are a few tough games coming up. Thunder & Lightning looks hard, it's similar to Arkanoid. Holy Diver is infamous for its difficulty. I assume RC Pro Am II will be hard just like the first one. Edited August 12, 2021 by mbd39 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leaderboard is wide open. All three of you, @docile tapeworm, @Richardhead, and you have an easy road just finding top 8 each week. And all 3 of you should if you can. More hope for dick and doug than docile, but it would be great to see all veterans 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would still take some solid top 5 or better finishes to make up enough ground in the standings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last few levels aren't worth that many points anyway. Maybe I can get 500k or 600k. I'm already pretty happy with my score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im thinking we can chalk this up to a game no one will be you at, like tetris and MM. May be off as I haven't played through that much of it. But that seems monstrous on 1 life. Hey, speaking of Tetris, I recently got my first 500k from a level 18 start. I was happy about that. I may have to learn to flip both ways if I want to get good at level 19 though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'll check out some upcoming games on the schedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
