There's one place that if you are going for maximum points that you don't want to use the nunchaku at all, the green ninja boss. Charge up your punch, hit 'im hard with this each time and you get more chances at killing more of his clones, each clone being worth 1000 points...

By the way, you totally rock. I was at work today and wondering about, will I come home tonight and suddenly see my score blown away, I was a little bit worried, rdrunner is going to go at it again and mow me down. Even if you had, I would have accepted defeat against such a worthy opponent. With that score you submitted, I could not just let my score stand as was, you got me motivated to get even better at this game, thank you.

That is what I've been missing out on in this contest this year (life shit kept me depressed therefore kept me away for a while - I missed Kung Fu yet again). Being able to compete against others helps motivate, gives you something more to push for, someone else to beat (or lose against) other than your own personal score, improving one's own gaming skills through these experiences. But also I see others, showing off scores, some showing multiple times from starting out with really low scores to getting better at the game with pretty good scores that show the making of an awesome gamer, and for some odd reason I feel happy for them as it it were I myself achieving those points, getting better each time, and not giving up, continuing to try to excel, may not seem like much to some, but to me its something to be proud of.

Wow, I didn't know that trick with the green ninja boss. No wonder your scores were so high. Even before we started pressing, I was surprised how your scores were around 720k. Mine were just under 700k without knowing about this, and the scoring difference was evident again in the end. Thanks for the tip!

Thanks for the compliments too. I was out of town over the weekend, but I considered playing again when I saw your score. Couldn't figure out where to find the points though. Great job on nailing this one!

Anyway, glad we were about to motivate each other on this. I like to compete here for the same reasons you described above. Gaming on its own is fun, but competition makes it even better!

Hope you stick around for the next block. As Bimmy mentioned, I have cooked up some nice little challenges for the coming weeks. We still need another tournament qualifier!

The leaderboards are now all currently up to date. Congratulations to dev(2) for being the winner of Block 5 and earning a spot in the tournament. Block 6 will start on September 16 and will be a very special block. Twin Galaxies record holder Tom Votava (rdrunner here on NA) is going to challenge us for Block 6 and has come up with the games and rules for all six games. He has some fun challenges and scenarios in store for everyone, which should make Block 6 very exciting
Thanks Bimmy,

BTW do you guys have a halloween contest planned?

I got you down for 5th place, Dave, so all is good. Will get the leaderboard updated tomorrow. Haven't had a lot of time for the computer since I got back from North Carolina last night. Block 6 starts this Sunday night.

Wow, I still don't own this game! Might have to pick one up this week
I don't have it either. I went to the local retro game shop today to see if they had a copy and I didn't have any luck. I really need to start checking out the game contest lists in advance so I have time to pick them up.
