I'm the opposite.  Starctaft and WC3 are 9/10 for me, whereas going back to WC2 after the fact (and after a bunch of other RTS) was painful.

Yeah I don't know what these guys are smoking. Warcraft 1 and 2 are unplayable bad now.  And i played both at launch back in the day, same with dune 2. They have not aged well.

Warcraft iii is still the pinnacle of the genre 20 years later (and spawned other 10/10 games like dota). One of the easiest 10s I've ever given out.

Deathsmiles has toccata and fugue when you fight the final boss.

Superman 64 and zelda 64 deserve each other.  Honestly flying through rings looks like more fun than anything you can find in those 3d zelda turds.

Worst ending of all time.

Metal gear solid 2...

Holy shit that's insane. Now 2-all death label

I've got to 2all regular white label first.

Not one of my listed goals for the year, but I did do something I want to share:

Cleared the true last boss with no deaths.  Not sure this has ever been done, or at least not something posted publicly.

Listed in order of expected difficulty

Very hard:
Ddp doj whie label 2all
Tetris nes lvl 19 maxout
Mushihimesama ultra

hard:
Ddp doj black label 2all
Ddp dfk ura 2all
Same same same 1all
Dangun feveron no miss tlb clear

Moderate:
Ddp dfk omote 2all
Radiant silvergun
Ikaruga
Ddp ii ir mode tlb clear
guwange
Gunbird 2 1all

Easy:
Ddp dfk black label bomb style clear
Mushi futari 1.5 original
Mushi futari black label original

1) Once again there is zero chance of all this happening.  This is more of a ongoing list.

2) My number 1 goal is ddp doj white label. I'd be happy with just that to be honest.

Yup easy 10 for me, plays like an arcade game and the skill ceiling is obscenely high. The 64 version sucked compared to smk, felt like playing in slow motion.

Got the 19-4 Clear too. This took an unholy amount of tries.

Wow - congrats!

Do you use any of those special controller techniques, like hypertapping or rolling?

[T-Pac]

My playstyle is hybrid das and tapping but I'm not a hypertapper as my max tapping rate is similar to what you get with das. I make use of das + extra quick tap technique a lot as well.

I've tried playing around with rolling but can't get it to work at all.

Nice. My PB is 685k. If I ever get decent at 19 speed a fluke maxout might happen.

 

19 speed took forever for me to get decent at.  Still screw up all the time at it.  19 maxout is probably my next goal but that is much harder (current pb is 820k)

At long last I finally hit the max out in nes tetris. 

Metal gear solid. I can't wait to play as solid snake again in a game called metal gear solid 2.

You could do it thr old fashioned way and farm lives on stage 1. That's how I did it back in the early 90s lol.

It's my favorite game in the series by far, a true run and gun masterpiece. Gotta play on hard to truly experience it though.

Not a fan of pause spamming to play in slow mo.  Worse than using save states.

1942 shouldn't count because it's just copying the crappy music from the arcade game.

He's not going for points, plus he would have maxed out his points (and therefore lose the ability to gain any more free men) after like 10 loops out of 255, so that would literally be a waste of time for the purposes of this challenge...

I know that i was referring to people that just want to max the score.

Can't you just stand in place and farm points on stage 1 without even moving?  Been a long time since I fired up the game.

Been away for a while but I finally cleared the ura loop of ketsui, a goal I've had for at least 3 years now.

I guess it would be same damn game i mnetioned in the other thread. contra legacy of war since I have the unofficial speedrun world record. No real competition though so its not saying much.  I'm not even sure what my actual time is but I know it's much faster than the "official" record online.

Contra legacy of bore

Nes: mario

Snes: zelda

N64: no winners, only losers
