This probably goes without saying, but I assume we cannot get extra lives/points by killing off Player 2 in "B" mode, right?

I beat the game a little bit ago and the game goes into a slow motion sequence that can't be paused as soon as you land the final hit on the Shadow Warrior and then straight into the ending. You only get about 3 seconds to take a picture before the ending kicks in, so be ready!
 


I beat it last night and you can pause it when it goes into the slow motion sequence, but you don't have a lot of time to do it.  Maybe a few seconds.  My best advice is that if anyone beats it, pause it right away when it starts going into slow motion.

Nope, this is forbidden for the contest.

I tried pausing it in the middle of the slow motion sequence so maybe that was the problem. My score wasn't that great anyway so I still need to work on that part.

I wish I had recorded my run from last night.  My score was good enough for 3rd place on Twin Galaxies.

i figured out that the arnold guys were pretty simple. if you knock him down, get on top of him and mash on the kick. he'll never be able to get a hit in before your kick hits him. just repeat until he dies

-------------------------

also please check out my youtube page. i try and play through nes games. i try and keep the deaths minimum. http://www.youtube.com/user/Blast...

I have the picture of it on my phone, but I'm pretty sure I can top it because I accidentally knocked a couple of enemies into pits and lost some points there.

Ok cool, sounds like I need to continue to work on my special moves if I'm going to increase my score to even think about getting to your level of play haha

My NES cartridge collection:  208/768 (27.08%)

Just got a 3DS - looking to start a DS/3DS collection. If you have any games you'd like to part with (preferably with case), PM me.

What I'm trying to figure out is how to do the knee with any kind of consistency. Even the spinning kick I can pull off much easier than rhe stupid knee move.

See my above statement. I used your strategy for the Arnolds on the Abobos. Seems to work fine although you don't get big points that way. I've had several really good run get derailed one way or another. Grr. Gonna take a little break and come back. Doesn't help that I have to play standing up or else I have 2 dogs all up in my face wanting me to pet them.

yea for right now, i'd rather lose points over losing lives on the Abobos. once i can beat them consistently, i'll start trying to get bonus points off of them.
