One of my biggest disappointments in my life is that I never beat Macho Man in under a minute time. My PB was around 1:07, iirc.
Been too long since I last played it for fast times.


I've made my way through 5 of the 6 with relative ease. Super Macho Man is making me think about throwing a brick through my TV. Trying to get him in under a certain time right now is proving a major irritation right now.

Macho's spin punch is the worst to dodge in the game, IMO.

I don't get why people have so much trouble with Mr. Sandman unless they're hampered by lag. None of his attacks are that difficult to dodge. Input lag makes him almost impossible though.
Macho spin punch is really easy to dodge imo. It’s cool how different opinions can be concerning difficulty of certain characters attacks.
Super Macho Man is basically the Glass Joe of the World Circuit.
He is so telegraphed and easy to beat.
I call him super easy guy to beat man.

I call him Super Bonus Stage Man, because he is a bonus stage between the two toughest fights in the game, Sandman and Tyson.

Score update. Game completed. And with a lower score than last time we played this.

I never want to play DD2 again, lol.
Awesome job Michael. DD as a whole give me nightmares!
Congrats on beating your PBE! 

DD rules! 

 

 Arn will probably beat me but I don't care. I just wanted to have a solid no-death run. At least I did better than in the previous contest.

I'll be interested in seeing what arn posts. Can he get 12k without any deaths? It's hard to play as risky with the one life rule in effect.

Stage 8 - Ninjas - 18,770


So I've been out of town this week on business, quite unexpectedly.  I took this picture yesterday from the Newark airport.     I had a decent amount of time to play but really struggled getting anywhere close to this score.  I can't tell you how many times I got Abobo-flipped out of Stage 5...

OMG I might win a tournament week for once! Heck yeah.

The one life rule does make this contest so much harder.

Awesome job Tables w/stairs! Really good job on SMM. I finally took care of him, but not at the time I wanted. At this point though I'm just happy to be done with him.

I’m not real happy with my times but I did as good as I could. 

Good luck.

Before Tables posted, I would have said "yes"...but after his post, I'll say I did good. Seriously though, SMM messed my time UP. Will post shortly.

Tables' times are unreal. He must have studied the speed run strats and just kept trying until he nailed it.

I'm rooting for both skinny and Ausden. I'd love to face either in the finals. Good luck to both of you!

I can't begin to tell you the research I did for this run. I wasn't able to put in as much time as I would have liked, but damn I had a blast with this one.

Good luck, man.

I'm surprised that you didn't have to fight Tyson considering this is the tournament and all.

Tyson was just for extra points before and that match is pathetically easy.
What would be the point if everyone would have a time in the 2:40s?

i definitely watched speed runs but i say the only one i really had to study with super macho man- glass joe, honda and don flamenco were basically see it and try it a few times until you get the inputs right and king hippo you fight like normal just repeat until you get a quick pattern, von kaiser took some work but yeah super macho man required the additional explanation of how to use the star punches and then memorizing when to do everything

I struggled hard trying to get the timing right in DF to get stars after the uppercut. The timing is crazy

I've done better than I ever have at this game but I didn't crush it like the other two guys in my bracket. I ended up unexpectedly away all day today and need my computer to post a pic of my progress. Since I'm the one getting bounced I'm not gonna stress about rushing home tonight. However I also didn't want to not post anything at all since I did participate this week. Good luck to everyone next week!

I'm lazy so this is what I got using a calculator

5.859 maybe it’s 6:51:54? I’m having trouble adding up the times with the whole sixty seconds thing.
