No kidding! He pushed me to the limit during the Punch Out and Ice Hockey contests. Even though I beat him both times (barely), I swear the experience took years off my life.

 

It's going to be real close this week. We're all going to be within a few thousand points of each other. 

Bring it on briguy!! Everybody here is pumping you up?!! I accept your avatar challenge! Mono y mono whoever places higher this week. Neither of us have a shooter icon, so it's all on the line! I control my own destiny at this point briguy gonna need some help from the field  

to hell with it I'm challenging everybody on NA this week! I'm taking this week first place.

Sorry ninji I can't share first place with you, that would make 11  

besides its going to be tough for me to get a win. I've really riled up the big fish! Lol.

At least you have the luxury of being able to finish second and still win the icon since he already won it in the first half. He's probably going to do the same thing to me for the arcade genre icon and I'll actually have to beat him!

Someone catch two ways to infinitely rack points so I'm going to change the rules in accordance. If you were using these two ways to rack points, please let me know.

1: You can reset a boss fight by going into the special ships selection screen. You can't use this to beat a boss over and over again. If you beat a boss and accidentally reset the fight, your run is over.

2: There's a way to rack points infinitely at the last boss fight, so we're going to call it a day once a player reach the final boss. Your run ends once you reach the final boss, don't fight it before taking your picture.

So me, skinnygrinny, and bertsampson have to submit new scores then because we all beat the final boss? I just want to make sure since I honestly hadn't planned on playing again this week.
