Finished : 59590

Update.

When the door opens immediately kick Willie. Once he gets up, begin to trap him
in a corner and use the hair pull knees continuously and DO NOT throw him! The
last thing you want is to give him range with his machine gun. If it looks he's
too close to the wall move down a bit and start the process again. Don't
attempt to use elbows as his machine gun dishes out a TON of damage. I think
two or three hits alone can kill you. Bottom line? Don't let him breathe! Once
he's dead prepare for the final battle against your brother.

If you are low on energie and have extra lives left i would suggest to die on purpose to keep your score low.If you die here you start over against your brother.

That's it caleb47 hope it helps.

^thanks for the strategy but I cannot defeat him right now. I'll probably go back later on and try. I can no death up to this last stage but I just crap the bed on him. I know its not enough to finish 3rd and honestly I'm alittle burnt out playing this game but overall, its been a fun tourney season. Awesome scores so far.

Tier 3 - 35,070 (Game Completed)


Spent about 30 hours on this game this week studying it and I am still not done. Plan on getting a few more runs in today. I know I can get lower if the enemies cooperate a little bit more.

I decided to play a quick game this morning to give you something better to shoot for: 29,440 (Game Completed, Participation Score/Does Not Count)

Awesome score! I just posted mine not too long ago. There were a few of the Will enemies (I think that's their name) that I couldn't hit fast enough to drop the knives so those were points that I had had to take. I'm pretty sure I can beat my 35k score but my eyes are definitely starting to hurt lol

Thanks! I actually just popped the game in to see if I "still had it" and ended up beating my score from the last contest by almost 1000 points on the first try. I'm interested to see if Tom can beat his 19,880 score from last time. That one was unbelievable. Getting under 30k is a pretty tough task in itself, let alone something that low.

So where are the places to trim points off the score. Iused punches and ground punches mostly but still ended up at 59000

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

It's a secret to everybody ( Zelda )



It's from the miss :-)

Some people owe me big time now ,the others will probably key my car.

Using the barrel and box to kill enemies doesn't earn you any points. I think the knife is the same way. Try to either avoid some enemies as they aren't necessary to advance or kick,punch,throw them into a pit. Also the elbow kills most bad guys in one or two hits,so that will save you points there too.

Dev thanks for the video now I see the strategy. I probably won't have time after work tonight to play again and try to lower my score

What happened to this miss clawful person? I see her old posts on here as well as come across some of her gamefaq walkthroughs.
I should be able to make a few runs using her strategies although I don't like that she didn't get the hair pull move until the very end. Makes things a lot tougher later in the game. Either way I'm happy with how I've done.

Not sure what happened to Miss Clawful. She used to play in the weekly contests all the time, then suddenly just stopped.  Great player though!

Tier 1 - Complete Game - 18,800

Was able to knock a thousand off my previous low score run.  Found a couple of new tricks to save a couple hundred here and there.

I can now get through the first two missions without using anything other than basic 50-point punches, along with the occasional weapon.  The trick is to figure out how to knock people over without using high scoring moves, such as uppercuts.

The biggest thing I do is use elbow punches on the tougher enemies.  Abobo, Willy, Jimmy, everyone.  Earn the move early, but not too early.  There's an optimum time to get it.

I had no idea about that video and didn't even look up any information online about Double Dragon. I am pretty proud of my score at the moment. Still trying to better it. I will admit that I will be a little irritated if I miss out on a first place finish because of that video with all of the time I put into this game lol. But anyone can look helpful information online, I suppose. Good luck, everyone.

First place goes to...Tom Votava! That's an incredible score!

Tier 2 :  33.410

Below 30K is awesome .

Below 20K is from another planet !

Updating.

that is an amazing score has to be nearly perfect

Yeah Tom, your score is considered godlike in my book. Congrats on a great score! I should a score up here soon, trying to get a couple more runs in just to see if I can improve what I got right now.

I'm going to put another game or two in.

No you post your score RIGHT NOW!

putting in 30 hours plus on double dragon this week must have been like a second job
