You can burn two lives and that is it. And I will make it so that you must pick the life at 2-2, but only once if you decide to farm 2-2. I will be relying on the honour system for this one, but you got two lives to use to farm points. Use them wisely. You need to reach 3-1 within your third life or your run is invalid. If needed, I will privately require video proof of a run if it looks suspicious.

Still up to 3-1. It will be a challenge to find who will master stages 1 and 2 best in terms of score. Also, I don't remember there being any extra life till 3-2, so I think I will allow one to burn lives.

Since every 10 seconds of time is worth 900 points at the boss defeat and I couldn't find a single enemy that was worth more than 300 points up to Stage 3-1 in the runs I watched, we will do highest score for this one. Farming enemies won't be worth it.

Current standings posted.

I will give you guys till tomorrow to decide between high and low score. 1 live high score might be nice and fast.

Yes, you can force enemies to respawn just by going back on the screen. So high score it would be a matter of farming the enemies that give you the highest amount of points while draining the timer away.

Do you guys prefer going low score, finding the best way to avoid enemies, or burn lives and go high score for this one?

Use whatever maze route you find it works for you. Watch a playthrough if needed. I will consider all of them valid. This' just not the week for me to try and force a route onto you all.

Also, we will only be using NTSC systems for the contests. The use of PAL systems will NOT be allowed. Good luck everyone and have fun.

It is all fine, your score is valid. When it is time for this again, I will come up with a different ruleset, like I did for Battletoads and now Ninja Gaiden 2,

The FAQ I followed gave those directions: 1. Take the Right Door - Enemies: Four Street Thugs w/sticks (two at a time) 2. Take the Left Door - Enemies: Three Kims (two at a time) 3. Take the Right Door - Enemies: 6 Motorcycle riders (one at a time) 4. Take the 2nd Left Door - Enemies: Six Joels (three at a time) 5. Take the Left Door - Enemies: Nine Angry Japanese School Girls (three at a time) 6. Take the Right Door - Enemies: Three Jacks (three at a time) 7. Take the Right Door - Enemies: Seven Motorcycle Riders (one at a time) 8. Take the Left Door - Enemies: Six Jacks (three at a time) 9. Take the Middle Door - Enemies: SABU!* 9 steps to get to the boss and likely a better route for scoring too. Bearcats route was right, left, left, middle, right Use whichever works for you. I don't have the means to try both and settle on which one to use. My physiotherapist already scolded me enough yesterday for daring to play an hour of SF6.

I will consider them valid. I don't have a left hand, the proper state of mind nor time or energy to check that sequence. I went with the one Bearcat-Doug gave me, someone said it didn't work on the thread and I changed it from one from a FAQ.

Fixed the maze sequence. For those who want to practise Ninja Gaiden 2, the rules will be as follow: Play till stage 3-1 Pause the game at stage 3-1 and take the picture of your score You must reach stage 3-1 Lowest score wins

Geral and genre scoreboards updated.

She didn't make it. I will update the threads tomorrow. Today I need time alone to mourn her.

If possible, I will post the final standings tomorrow. Otherwise, on Wednesday when I will know for sure what will be of my kitty. Keep her in your thoughts, please.

Did the same thing for Hokuto no Ken as well. So, if I decide that it will be a full run, you will have the maze directions. But I may end up making highest score at the end of stage 2 or some madness like that.
