The grind spot in 6-3 I told him about is in the section where you encounter that white dude who throws the wheel disc thing. You kill him and any residual enemies that may be around. In that area,if you backtrack a little in that area,two hippies will come after you,one from above and the other from the right. When they spawn,you want to go left a little so the top hippie doesn't hit you and then come back to the right a little,crouch,and strike. You can stand up and strike,but it seems like when you do,often you'll miss one of the hippies. Definitely not the safest grind spot,but how can you not like 1,000 points a pop?

Anyone know of a good photo upoading app? I've had it with the photobucket app. Most unreliable app ever. What a piece of crap.

I just couldn't get a good run in.  It's amazing how many tricky parts there are to mess up a good run!

I improved my score a little and managed to pass 900,000.  I'd really like to get to 1 million before the contest ends, but I keep making little stupid mistakes here and there that end up costing me a life.



I wouldn't put it that way.  I just practice a lot, and enjoy pushing myself to top my own scores and/or meet certain goals.  As skinnygrinny said, not everything cooperates.  RC Pro Am and Dr. Mario were not too kind to me, and I'm sure there will be others.



Uh oh... I still don't know if my brain has recovered enough from that one to make more multi-hour-long runs on it.

Quick participation score: 81,500

Move over dra600n,you've got company!

I don't think I'm going to try to improve upon this. It was tough enough just to get this much. I collected all the 1ups in this run and also no deathed the game until 6-2,when one of those stupid jet pack ninjas knocked me into a pit. The remaining lives I spent grinding on that sweet,sweet spot. I wasn't sure at first if I'd be able to hit the million,but the closer I got to it with lives to spare,all I had to do was not get knocked into the pit by the stupid bat and the million was mine! I would've had a slightly higher score,but I screwed up by mistiming a strike and the bird did its' usual annoying thing. Died with about 40 second left. Ah whatever. That grind spot is easily the best one in the game.

Oh and I replaced the overhead lights! Now my room doesn't look like a dungeon! Before roll: After roll: Final score:

Welcome in the Million Points Club Guts

Thanks! I took the safe (wuss) way to the million as I didn't get to the final bosses and repeat act 6 at all. I'm sure if I had gone through act 6 a few times I could have given dra600n a run for his money,but in doing so I was risking the million. A few other very promising runs I took that risk and failed. Not this time.

The good thing is that now it's done, so you're going to be less psychologically affected by the million mark from now on. Go for it man!

Score of 51000 for participation

Lol that one is a bit of an endurance run.

I approach each game very similarly. I hate to admit that I haven't played many of the titles before. I just recently started amassing a large collection. I only ever owned 25-30 games before. Anyway like you said I practice a lot (plenty of free time as I am my only child and I just keep pushing.

CONGRATULATIONS GUTS! 1 million nicely done.

73,000

This is my second run. I'm just going to leave it at participation. If I don't walk away now, the competitor in me will come out and try to get top 10

Thanks Skinny! Btw,I spy a Protoman figure in your picture. Yes!

Hahaa! Hell ya! I always wished he was a playable character. For me when he appeared in III I was like " oh shit , cool ass entrance music" and didn't you just kinda know he was some type of friend more than foe? Maybe it was just me.

Mega man II is a great game but I grew up with and enjoy III more. I always thought proto man was cooler than his lil brother.

🎶Hey.... Dirt-eh....🎶

I'm surprised it took them to MM 9 to play Protoman a playable character. Better late than never.

Surprised only 22 people have submitted a score so far,it's not like we're playing black box baseball. I'm hoping there will be a plethora of scores submitted tomorrow.

It's WrestleMania Sunday and time for the big payoff, although it seems kind of anticlimactic without the Santa newsletter to hype it up.

Aside from  your terrible handwriting (hey, like mine is any better!), great job!

This game is mentally taxing. In fact, I'd say point pressing is a lot more difficult than a low score, furthest progression contest just because of the stress and anxiety that comes with this style of play. The margin of error with those birds is pretty small, that's for sure.

Glad to see that you reached your goal of hitting 1 million

Thanks to this contest i was able to beat this game for the first time this week!    THanks bimmy!

want to get in another run to try the new grinding spots i learned from adam but i dont think i will have time today. guess it is participation for me this week, i played a couple games this morning and was well on my way to topping the score i posted but didnt have a chance to play uninterrupted.

Nice job on the 1 million run, gutsman004.

Congrats to you too as I see you hit the million as well.
