It will be. You're alone in the dark and on your own.

You all made to the tournament. So no more kind, gentle rules.

Batman Returns: Make it to stage 5-1 in one life, pause and take your picture. If you can't make to 5-1 in one life, your score will be zero. Pro Wrestling: Pick any wrestler of your preference. Win the first 4 matches and take the picture of the time you took in each match. Lowest sum of times win. You must win all 4 matches (total and wins must be 4. You can't lose a single match or your time will be 9:59:59).

It is pretty great for it, but a low score run takes forever to finish if you aim for sub 10K!

The most points he can score is 20. You are 25 points ahead of him.

Since the tournament will start with a beat'em up, I swapped Double Dragon 2 and Burger Time around.

Ladies and gentlemen, we are nearing the time of our 2022 VGS NES WEEKLY CONTEST TOURNAMENT! So, in order for our players to best prepare for it, @guillavoie and I have decided to share the details of how the tournament will work this year: The top 8 better qualified players in the Geral scoreboard will be invited to the tournament Should any not accept, the next best qualified player will be invited in place The tournament will take place in 3 weeks.

It is a time for violence. It is a time for strength. Worthy players, prove you have both by conquering Double Dragon 2 the fastest you can! Rules the streets by following the guidelines below: Play till you die the 1st time Pause the game and take your picture when you die or beat the Mysterious Warrior If you beat the game, consider recording a video of your run or post the timer screenshot to show your time for tie break reasons. If you beat the game and doesn't post your video/timer, your time will be considered 59 minutes and 59 seconds. Progress win, with lowest time to beat the game as a tie break. Use the maps at https://vgmaps.com/Atlas/NES/DoubleDragonII-TheRevenge-Maps.png to assess progress If you beat the game, stop the timer when you kill the Mysterious warrior. Participation: Get past the 1st screen of the game Genre: Beat'em up @PII has a 5 points lead over @Dr. Morbis in the Beat'em up genre, so he needs at least a 2nd place finish to secure this year's Beat'em up crown!
