Tom Votava got under 19k in a Double Dragon low score contest without losing any lives so it's possible. But you have to be Tom Votava.

Great to be in the second round.  
I don't think I have big chances in Double Dragon, but at least I give it a try.

I think I one life'd it all of once last time. Not sure I have the energy to play as much as I did that time though

Here's my day one Kung Fu score.  We shall see how much better I get by the end of the week!

 

I'm happy to play 1943 (and see Evil Bea reveal herself), but I had actually hoped to play Kung Fu. I've not played it since the 2015 contest and I've been meaning to revisit it ever since that time. I recall really enjoying it.

I wonder what the over/under will be on how many awesome runs will get ruined by the magician boss with a 1 life rule?

That is so much fun!



I'll be interested to see how badly you beat my old 19k low score after how you absolutely crushed my DD2 low score!

Won't happen. I am playing 1943 this week and I have a tall 3 millions points wall to break.

I just played some 1943 for fun and reached stage 8 with 717,100 points. I forgot what a cool game it is. Around stage 8 or 9 is where the high difficulty kicks in. Stage 9 is horrible.

Well he ruins every run anyways so...

I think my 2016 score was actually around 100 points lower than Tom's 2012 score, so I appreciate you leaving my record stand...for now.

Yeah, there should be a prediction for how many broken controllers will come from the Kung Fu group by the end of the week.

Hey man, after playing Rad Racer seriously for a week, I'm impressed that you can get over 67k. I couldn't even get 66k.

You must be always holding up and driving like a maniac to get those scores, while also avoiding crashing somehow.

Considering the speeding ticket I got today, that's basically how I drive normally.

To break the 67k mark you honestly do have to lay on the turbo and not crash during your entire run.

It's a good thing someone picked Double Dragon this week or Bo Abobo would have paid a visit to someone's toilet

How is my sarcasm 10?
Brock is only a 5 and JimTard a 9?
Brock breaks the fucking sarcasm meter and Tardo isn't sarcastic at all, he's just a weirdo!

A tournament without a Double Dragon game would just be wrong.

I ... think I know how to handle the Magician now?  If I can figure out some other parts I might be dangerous!
