Are we not taking day light savings time in to account as of last week or something??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brasilia doesn't do it so it changes the relative time difference for us North Americans. But, like I said, your new post doesn't really change much so I have no issue against it... I'll still be genre champ even if you had won Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just went and checked: you know it was your SMB3 showing that killed you; I don't know what was going on in your life in week 1 of the season, but if you had performed even halfway decent there, you would have taken this genre by a wide margin...

Neither do I. Maybe I wasn't warmed up yet, or perhaps I just don't care for the whole turtle-hopping thing so much. At any rate, I'd rather have one thing to work on than three Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As do I when there's no time constraint, but in a weekly compo setting, it's more about averaging good results week after week for me than pouring my heart and soul into a single victory. However, if they give more points for #1 next year, that may well change... Edited November 15, 2021 by Dr. Morbis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sumez | 2,934 Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 2 hours ago, Dr. Morbis said: Well it was a valiant effort, I'll give you that! But the idea of beating all of Stage 4 and the boss on your first try is like a "whole 'nuther level" and I would have been shocked if anyone here had accomplished that feat in a mere week of practice... Even people who mastered the game completely will frequently die on boss 4. I know at least one guy who has 1-lifed the whole thing, and even his run only survived that fight through sheer luck.

This game has to be tough if nobody here beat it although we were missing a few regular players this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sumez | 2,934 Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 (edited) Holy Diver is definitely one of the toughest games on the NES! I struggle to think of many games in the same league that aren't just borderline unplayable. Ninja Gaiden 3? Not even close. Beating it on a credit is tough. Beating it on one life is a masterful achievement. Edited November 15, 2021 by Sumez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember when the last Ninja Gaiden 3 contest was, but it seems like there are a few people that could beat it on 1 life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I updated my score right before 10 pm cst. Thought we went back to old cutoff time weeks ago. @PII vs @Dr. Morbiswould be a pretty epic final in the tourney.

If they tie, they do the same with SMB3. In all seriousness though, the odds would entirely depend on the game played. I'd be curious to see how it played out, that's for sure.

SMB doesn't work because we'd both no-death it very easily, and we'd both have to wait before every single flagpole till time was up to jump on, making it the most mind-numbingly frustrating SMB battle in history. SMB3 no warps for distance though.... that would be a cool challenge! Even the most battle-hardened NES gamer would be hard pressed to get through worlds 5, 6, 7, and 8 without dying once...

Bear in mind a no-death low point run would have you avoiding mushrooms (1000 points iirc). If you can no-death the game without picking up a mushroom and without warping, well, that's a feat I'd love to see. Record that shit and put it on YouTube man! But yeah, the SMB thing was more of a joke...SMB3 though, that would actually be a challenge worthy of such competitors...and throwing in the low-score variation as well...that'd be a fun ass competition to see!

BeaIank | 1,618 Events Team · Posted November 17, 2021 Author Share Posted November 17, 2021 Final standings posted. @PII and @NESfiend score updates happened after midnight, Brazilia time, so they were not counted. Fun fact, if we were observing DST, y'all would have lost another hour to post your scores. With this, @Dr. Morbis is the 2021 Platformer Genre champion! Congratulations. I will update the final standings on the leaderboard and send the invitation PMs now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
