Whichever died first, so do your best to get the highest level monster to die first. And you can pause the game while the death animation is playing to take your picture.

That's exactly how it will run. And I will also accept a timer screenshot along with your game completion screenshot as a proof of time. Video will be preferable, but we will work this way.

Manipulating tons of enemy off screen, manipulating them to kill themselves in the stage hazards and taking it very, very slowly. It wasn't fun. Playing for highscore isn't fun either because it is all about spamming the same high scoring attack. You will be timing your runs.

You guys think you will be playing Double Dragon 2... for score?

You have to keep them both alive. Once you die for the first time, be it with Godzilla or Mothra, your run is over. And yes. Furthest planet (which is tied to monster level), level and score.

It looks super adorable!

See, these bloody youngsters here playing at level 30+ and it ain't no problem! Level 18 is where these punks start their runs in the CWTC!

Yes, you must start on Earth. I will change the rules to make that clearer.

You can play forever on Earth, gather millions and millions of points. And then someone reaches Mars, makes to level 4 with a 10th of your score and wins it. It is highest level first, highest score second.

Geral and genre scoreboards updated. @PIIis our 2022 Puzzle champion! Congratulations!

Final standings posted. And with this, we have our 2022 VGS NES WEEKLY CONTEST PUZZLE CHAMPION! All hail @PIIthe king of puzzles of 2022!!! Regarding the low participation, I blame the combo hard rules + late in the season. So, lesson learned. Keep gruesome hard rules for the start of the season.

The state of collecting NES games, which would inevitable drawn new people towards the contest has also changed significantly because everything is so much more expensive now, so we aren't drawing new players. It is a tough math, not boring the regulars by having always the same games while needing to have the classics in the hopes to draw one or two new people to the contest with them.

This, so much this. That's why speed run was chosen for it. Castlevania was left out of the contest for too long due to broken scoring or boring mechanics for progress + low score. Speed running fixed that.

I enjoyed using this to introduce people to awesome, fun, amazing Famicom games, but if you all want more classics, more classics it will be then.

I am considering how things will be next year. This new scoring works much better when you have 12+ people playing every week and we're reaching half of that on average, even with me trying to make it so that grinding for a high score is a fast ordeal, since I know time tends to be premium these days. Still, we will still be running in 2023.

Welcome ACES! Are you ready to take on a very dangerous mission which will rely on your flying skills? The stakes are HIGH for this one, for @docile tapeworm and @Dr. Morbis are fighting neck and neck for the 2022 Shooter championship, with Pii a bit far away, but still with the chance to take it. Even though there is no rules for ACES, here's the rules for this week: Play till you game over or till you beat the game If you beat the game, you can game over to take the picture at the high score screen with your highest score, since the highscore screen at the end of the mission stays for too short of a time. Take your picture at the high score screen Participation: You must beat mission 1 Highest score wins The contest ends Sunday, 10/16/22 at 11 PM VGS time. Your user name MUST be written or typed on a piece of paper and be in the picture for your score to be valid.

Fixed the action scoreboard and posted the updated genre and geral scoreboards. @the_wizard_666 is our Sports genre champion for 2022. For Puzzle, @PII has a sizeable lead, but he can still lose it if he doesn't place very well today!

Final standings posted. And with this, @the_wizard_666 is our 2022 VGS NES WEEKLY CONTEST SPORTS GENRE CHAMPION! HOORAY!!!

I will check that. The worksheet probably had the wrong genre in it if it happened and it will be an easy fix.

You can't fight the same fighter more than once.
