I thought that if you used an emulator you could just take a screenshot and edit in your name?

Something like this

That is acceptable.  A screenshot of your computer screen will work.  Or, you could take a picture of it too.  Either one is fine.

ohohoho, not to let you guys down, but you rather not participate this time, as I am able to get to the Shadow Warrior boss with one life, and I've even finished it. In fact, let's set this right now, muahahaha, I'll be back in an hour and a half at most.

EDIT: obviously I'm kidding on the first two sentences, but not on the second one and forth, HAHAHAHAHA

Oh, it's on now   I am a Double Dragon 2 god and can get to the Shadow Boss in one life as well.  You will be a worthy adversary this week, Jorge.

I think we need to add a no point racking rule to this game. There's no timer in it like the first one and if someone really wanted to spend the time doing it, they could just leave one enemy on the screen and repeatedly punch or kick them to add up points without killing the enemy.

^^Nice start, Jorge. I got to the river in Mission 5 and fell in the water jumping the bridge /facepalm. I never die there.

^^These kind of games are like a dance after a while. You know what enemies will come up at what time, how strong, were to jump from, when to etc, etc. There are a couple of stupid deaths in this game... mostly the Temple with the dissapearing platforms, and the level with the sprockets and spikes below.

That's how I got good at this game, too. I just memorized which enemies were going to appear at a certain times, as well as their attack patterns. I also memorized all the jumps too. When to make them, where to jump from, etc. The disappearing platforms in the temple are awful. Once you get the timing down on it, it's not so bad. That was the toughest part of the game for me for a long time. If I knew I could get past that part, I could at least get to the Shadow Boss.

When I died in Mission 5, I knew I was gonna miss the jump from the bridge to the land because I jumped too soon. Just a careless mistake on my part.

Yeah, when you memorize some of the exit points for enemies in this game, you can easily spin kick a ton of them into the drink. Not many points though. If I try this I'm going to end up spin kicking the entire game.

AWWWWWWWW... SNAP

Edit: Actually, I'm assuming I won't do that well on DD2, since I aim for speed above all else and knee the hell out of everyone.

This one will be interesting.
I have beaten it this year, but certainly not on one life.
I'll give it a shot tonight.

Yeah, that knee, killer. Hard to get it consistent, and it definitely erases points in the long run. Spin kick tends to keep them close, just kills them faster.

^^I think it would be cool to reward constant participation, even if people don't win. Minimum requirement should be established.

The spinning attack the Shadow Boss does is so obnoxious.

If I draw a neat mini-controller icon, would you use it? I can try and do it in paint... I'm somewhat tech-illiterate, so I would just save it as png, is that ok?

EDIT: what the heck, I made one, is it ok?

^^yeah, I figured it's somewhat big... I'll see if I can shrink it, and perhaps give it some shading effects.
