It's hard to believe this is the last week of the regular season! I haven't had hardly any time to even check in the last few weeks, but hopefully I can drop in more often come tournament time.

This score sucks.

What was your score before the end of game bonuses? Claybird beat the game with around 1,500,000 last time this was played, which amazes me.
67641845-((50*500000)+(2*5000000)+(3*2000000)+25000000) = 1641845

Bea will beat it though.

I don't know how you guys can get so far without succumbing to all the cheap deaths that this game has to offer.

Try to punch a Trog and he eats me anyway.

Accidentally walk off the edge of the screen.

Getting flattened by jumping Trog.

Stage hazard suddenly appearing right in front of me with zero time to react.

Cheap deaths from using the teleports.

Etc., etc.

I also love when fire blocks where I need to go and takes forever to extinguish. That's always fun.

I died three times in my 1CC run.  Two were from the jumping Trogs, and the third was from a Trog that followed me into the jump pad and I got eaten as soon as I landed.

I try never to punch Trogs head on.  I can usually get away with it when I have to, but I much prefer punching them from the side.

The best part of posting a better score is that it forces your hand.     I don't think I could beat your score unless I sniped and practiced way too much.

I have been holding on a lower score since the day after I posted that one.  
I was going to hold it till Sunday night, but I will post it tonight instead.

You might get the surprise upset if they happen to be games that you're quite good at, like last year with Richard.

I was happy just to make it to the finals. Adventure Island is hard.

Not likely

Odds of winning:
If the final game is a shooter -
Gloves - 90%
Bea or table - 8%
arnpoly - 2%
Anyone else - 0%

If the final game is anything else -
Bea or table - 90%
arnpoly - 9%
Anyone else - 1%

Assuming they survive the early rounds.  I have about 1-2 hours a week so I will most likely be one of the round one victims

At least you're not "anyone else." Our chances are pretty abysmal.
