A 5 fireball limit means a set amount of points. A timer limit forces one to consider how many fireballs they can hit in that time span and still beat the opponent.

I am trusting the honour code here. It is either that or "Your run ends if you hit a fireball or star for points". Allowing some point pressing there can allow the winner to best optimize it.

Added a rule that you have 1 full minute to beat Tao, so some point pressing will be allowed at stages 2, 7 and 12.

Someone may have a cart with it, sadly, so outright banning it would be a problem. I put in a ruleset to try to disallow that glitch. If that makes rev 1.2 players to have a disadvantage for not being able to use the flying kick, then so be it.

Yes, 3 loops.

OSU!!! Welcome fighters! It is time to prove your martial art skills and determine who is the most skilled fighter. In order to settle this matter, our fighters will assume the role of Oolong and will have to battle difficult enemies in a classic game that sadly only saw a NES release in Japan, Yie Ar Kung Fu! The rules are as follow: Pick level 2 Play till you die your first time or reach stage 16 (Wang at grey background) If you are playing in revision 1.2, you are not allowed to freeze the opponents with repeated air kicks You must beat Tao and Lang (stages 2, 4, 7, 9, 12 and 14) within one minute time at each time. If you can't beat him within one minute time, your run is over. Pause and take your picture. Pause your game after you respawn if you die or at the start of the fight at stage 16 and take your picture.

Welcome aboard. Always nice to have new people join us in! Great score and great info about Spy Hunter!

OK, I changed the rule set to first death after the initial timer expires.

Playing till game over makes this whole ordeal entirely too long to get a run in. I don't like that idea. We can do first death after the timer ends, though.

I am quite happy that a fast rule set allowed for this kind of fiery competition in this game.
