Watch this video.

This is what quillavoie will do. ( read tournament : round 1 topic again and the battletoads rules)He will be maxing out the score at the end of level 3.
 
Tip for the underdog.

In other words : your score will never be a winner and i think its ok

This is why it should be 1 life only.

Even 1 life only wouldn't save this game.  It's not that hard to max out the score using that video's trick without dying.  I love Battletoads, but I'm afraid it's simply a bad tournament game.

Out of curiousity, what happens to these guys if they both max out on the same level?

It would probably be whoever maxed out their score the earliest.

Exactly.


I'm not sure if you meant to be rude with that or not, but if you watch Andy play his games, that  dude gives a lot of determination when playing, and now that you've showed him a trick, he'll definitely pick up a maxout score. The dude is like a savant at times

I will never give up. Anyone who has been watching me play Battletoads knows I have reset my nes over 200 times to try to get the max points possible in every level. I am a machine

No man,

It's not meant rude at all.More funny
I showed him the trick so the picture doesn't matter at all. (get it)

I saw Andy play smb3 and the man showed determination.
So i knew he would do it again .

I looked at his score and thought : What are you doing ?
This level 2 trick was already talked about in round 1.

Uhm how do i say this without being disrespectful/misunderstood ?

I think quillavoie is a better player than Andy.
Andy showed so much determination in his games in the first round.
So when i saw his battletoads score and his comments that he spend hours on it.
I felt sorry for him.
I found it only fair that a underdog that missed a important clue(that was out in the open) got the information he needed.
I felt responsible because i put battletoads on the list.

 sorry for the mess i made.I apologize if this is against the rules i just let my gaming heart speak.

While I've never liked the whole point racking thing, I can say while seemingly easy to do here, I've always sucked at hitting crows multiple times, hit 'em a few times then miss, tried to rack points on stage 2 back in the November 2009 contest and barely had much coming out of that stage. But the plus side, it got me to beat the game shortly after the contest finished (which was more my goal at the time since I had never beaten it before)--not the point racking, just the whole playing for competition of Battletoads.

And I disagree with the statement on a particular gamer's score never being a winner, now that the secret is out for him, he could just spend all his time now playing stage 2 over and over again. Practice makes perfect, and he could max it out very early in the game if he tries hard enough.

Me, personally I would have made this a contest of distance with 1 life. Even though I'm sure there are a few that can get to the end or close to it without dying. Still, it certainly would be more challenging. Anyway, week is half over, got plenty of time, I'm rootin' for the underdog---not because I have any problem with a pro staying on top of his game, but I like to see one that isn't quite the master improve his game, and know the sense of accomplishment to be such a wonderful thing.
