I should be able to beat it tonight......I have been practicing Battletoads / GnG on the side a bit and this is a cakewalk compared to those...getting a low score though will be a pain in the ass.

So can anyone beat Battletoads or GnG here?

It's easy to rack up lives in Battletoads and get a decently high score. A one life contest would be interesting and stressful.

I've never beaten either although I think Arnpoly and Briguy beat Battletoads last time it was played.

Shit I hope they add some weird rules...I can make it to the elevator stage on 1 life.

If I put in some more time I can probably beat it by the time we get to it.....I max out my score every time I play it.

 

How about getting the furthest with the lowest score and no warps?

I'd suck so bad with those rules.

I have never used a warp in Battletoads

 

I warp past Volkmire's because it was the only stage up to that point where I felt like I hit a wall in terms of difficulty. Maybe I could beat that stage with more practice.

Unfortunately I can't warp past Terra Tubes.

 

Man to pass Volkmire's I literally drew a fucking MAP of the electric gate patterns and studied it hahahahaha

I suggest doing the same it will give you a "MUCH" better idea of what to expect rather than making split second decisions.

Edit - It isn't even split second decisions, it literally is just memorization or trial and error.
 

I've finished both, but only by using continues. It was already mentioned, but the last time we played Battletoads, both arnpoly and BriGuy82 were able to 1cc it without maxing out the score (it was a low score contest), which made it even more impressive.

 

After the sections with the fireballs and missiles, you have to react so fast to get through the gates that it's nuts.

Great, I've played Battletoads once (broken record) so it sounds like I'm already way too behind the curve

I wouldn't mind either way, it is going to be interesting regardless.

 

You would have to start practicing like......today....maybe tomorrow.

I know I put a couple months in just to get to the second last stage......the thing about that game is though when you game over you don't feel like trying again.

 

You're a quick learner though. You always say "I've never played this before. How do I play this?" and then do really well, haha. I wouldn't be surprised if you made it to the end of Battletoads.


 

I hate the fireballs more than the gates man...........my eyes get all twitchy and weird because the scrolling.
 

Those actually were the rules from last year's contest. The top 10 players that week all made it to level 4 or higher, so they did pretty well.

 

If I'm lucky, I can get to Volkmire's with those rules. The snake stage sucks.
 

 

I am so excited for Battletoads...

 

I think the 2013 contest was high score with an earliest maxout tiebreaker, so it could go either way or possibly something new.

Well a big part of that is because like Skinny I am a grinder.  If I become obsessed I can put in the time needed.  I seriously played Donkey Kong Junior like 200 times

Although at some point I'm going to need to limit that.  I'm also trying to break crabmaster's record for completed "Can NA Beat..." games in a year and that effort has come to a near-stop because of this

 

I am definitely looking forward to Battletoads and GnG though. I doubt I place in either, but those are games I've always wanted to put the time into (same with Double Dragon) and this contest gives me the push to finally do it

I think you will get GnG down to be honest.....with the infinite continues you maintain your mental stability a bit more.

When you Game Over on Battletoads, like I said you tend not to want to start over for a bit.

 

Yaaaaaa  
 

Ive never even come close to beating either one
