Hello everyone and welcome to the latest installment of the Weekly Contests! To quote the immortal words of Hank Williams Jr., “Are you ready for some football?” Well, you better be because this week's game is going to be Tecmo Super Bowl! Hey, I'm the legendary quarterback Bimmy Elway and I'm here to lead my sports team, better known as Team Bimmy, against a new team to the sports scene. Just the other day, we were challenged to a good old game of football by some mysterious new group of competitors. If you remember, just a couple weeks ago I took out Bo Abobo and all of his goons in my quest to avenge Marian's death. As a result, Team Abobo is no more. Now, we have been challenged by these new guys calling themselves “Team Adobo.” “Team Adobo?” For real? That sounds an awful lot like “Team Abobo.” And the crazy thing is, they all look suspiciously like Bo Abobo and his crew. I mean their star player, Bo AboBrady, looks JUST like Bo Abobo if he were wearing a football helmet and jersey. It's crazy! And how about their star defensive tackle, AboreMukong Suh? At first I thought he was some Asian guy, but then I saw him in his football gear and he turned out to be some huge, familiar-looking, 'roided up goon. I know I've seen this guy at least once or twice. I know I've seen their ace linebacker, Bolo Butkus, somewhere before. Not to mention their talented wide receiver, Burnov Berry. That guy is very familiar to me. These “Adobos” think they have added a secret weapon to their team with the legendary Sickle Simpson, but I wouldn't trust him at all. I mean, the guy murdered his wife and her lover many, many years ago. What's to say he doesn't kill any of them when they least suspect it? Man, these guys are idiots just like Team Abobo. Could these guys be nothing more than a group of thick-headed, lame-brained, dimwitted dummies looking to challenge the Bimmster and take my team's place as the top sports team in the world? Or could this really be Bo Abobo and his crew, mysteriously resurrected by Shadow Magic? Nah, it can't be. Or can it?
Regardless, I have assembled a team of all-star footballers (and I'm talking American football, none of that silly European football stuff that is better known as soccer) that will show these “Adobos” that we are Super Bowl material. I have recruited one of the best running backs the game has ever seen in Chin Seimei Sanders. The way this guy runs and moves is simply incredible. He runs and moves faster than a cop going after a doughnut, the Roadrunner outrunning Wile E. Coyote, Donkey Kong racing for a banana, Barry Bonds snorting a line of coke, Alf eating a cat, and Jerbilly running to a Coney Island because he heard it was “Free Hot Dog Day.” I also have Ranzou Rice on my team and he is one of the top wide receivers in the world. The way he runs down the field makes Usain Bolt look like a 100-year-old tortoise. I've even got my brother, the well-known Jimmy Johnson, on my team. In all of his years in pro sports, he still hasn't won it all and is gunning for a championship ring something fierce and will stop at nothing to win one. He hungers for one more than a cop going for a doughnut (yeah, I used that reference already, but it works here as well, so just go with it), Jarome Iginla, Joe Thornton, and Shane Doan seeking a Stanley Cup, the Sarlaac desiring a few butt ugly Jabba the Hutt lackeys to snack on, Jason Vorhees lusting to kill a few nubile, busty, skinny-dipping female camp counselors, Q-Bert longing to swear while he is on a no-cursing diet, and Jerbilly craving a package of hot dogs. Well, that's rounds out the players on my team. We are not going to take these “Adobos” lightly at all. In fact, I'm having the door to our locker room bolted shut so that Team Adobo doesn't take a page from Team Abobo's handbook and clog our toilets or pee in our drinking fountains or eat all of our snacks or steal all of our jock straps or...what, it could happen! Like, what if they forgot to bring their own? Ever think of that? Anyway, here's what you need to know to help my team defeat Team Adobo at Tecmo Super Bowl:
-
1 player only
-
Play a Preseason game. You must play a complete game
-
Choose whichever team you want
-
Play against whichever team you want
-
You must play with the default rosters for each team. You may not swap out any players on either team. There may not be any injured players on either team prior to the start of the game (If a player is injured in Regular Season mode, he will be injured in Preseason mode)
-
You may not change any of the plays or create your own. You must use the default plays given to you at the start of the game
-
Nose dive tackling is not allowed. Anyone suspected of using it will have their score disqualified
-
Take your picture on the final results screen (the screen that shows all the game stats)
-
Your score will be the differential between your score and the computer’s score
-
Ex: You 35 CPU 14 = score of 21
-
Ex: You 14 CPU 35 = score of -21
-
In the event of a tie, the greater number of rushing yards will break the tie
-
Greatest differential between your score and the computer's score wins. A positive score takes preference over a negative score (ex. A differential of 10 takes precedence over a score of -20. Purposely losing to the computer by 20 points does not give you a better differential than a person who beats the computer by 10 points. Positive scores take precedence over negative scores regardless of differential).
-
IMPORTANT UPDATE: Anyone scoring over 99 points (the score freezes at 99) must be ready to take a VERY quick picture immediately after the game when the quarters scoring recap comes up. This screen is the only way to see a score over 99.
-
Participation: Play a whole game and have a score better than -7 (In other words, you can't lose to the computer by more than 7 points. No losing on purpose this time around).
-
GENRE: Sports
The contest ends Sunday, 4/9/17 at 11 PM NA time. Your user name MUST be written or typed on a piece of paper and be in the picture for your score to be valid. The entire TV screen, or computer monitor if you are playing on an emulator, MUST be in the picture for the score to be valid. No partial screenshots will be considered or accepted. No screenshots by hitting "print screen" on a computer will be allowed. You must take a picture of your computer monitor. There may be instances where this will be acceptable, but it will be at the discretion of myself and the contest organizers. Also, the use of turbo controllers is forbidden, as well as any cheat codes, Game Genies, slow motion functions, or save states if playing on an emulator. Also, we will only be using NTSC systems for the contests. The use of PAL systems will NOT be allowed. Good luck everyone and have fun
