I made it back to 7-1 today and then choked again.

Man, I want to have at least 500k. 600k would be awesome.

I don't know how good tables is at Ninja Gaiden games. He scares me.

I would like to clear the game, no death. 

But, to win, is gonna take more than that.

the group of gamers in this years final are unbelievably good at NES games. It’s gonna take my best + some and a hiccup from the rest in order to win.

Even after I get comfortable clearing acts without dying, it's still so easy to slip in a section and end it.

this is an awesomely difficult challenge and I am enjoying the time I have been able to put in so far. 

Im gonna be dead at work tonight lol.

Well, I finally broke 500k. Maybe I can do a little better.

I seriously doubt that I'll beat this with one life. I never have. But I'm getting further into the game more consistently so we'll see.

I don't think that bert is actually that good at Ninja Gaiden games. I'm more concerned with you and skinny!

The cyborg Bert will surely show up with a no death run on this.
I am quite sure he will take it!

I like that this game is fairly short so that runs are nice and quick. When you die it's not too bad to get to where you were. It's not like Kickle where the game goes on and on and on and on and on...............

Oh yes. This game goes nicely with my short attention span. Action the whole way through. Engaging every second and concentration must be high the whole time. 

Dude. Act 5 has got me like woah right now. But I’m progressing nicely. I was hoping 1cc by tonight but that ain’t happening. I’m still comfortable with my progress considering the learning curve.

I don’t think anybody is winning this week with simply (lol) a no death run. Points will decide. As it should be.

Strangely the second part of act 5 is significantly easier than the first. Also an easy boss fight. Just be careful not to run out of time!

I'll be surprised and impressed if anybody no deaths it this week. I'd like to do it.

Buttheadrulesagain's score of 591k from the previous contest has been tough to top. My best run has been 543k but I know I can do better.

Status update. I got some significant time to play yesterday. Not only did I beat the game for the first time, but I've 1CC'd it too. I'm certain to do better than I thought I would entering the week. My limiting factor is how much time I'll have to play over the next few days, but I'll do my best to make things interesting!

Arnpoly 1cc in one day. That's insane dude.

If the grinder can do it in a week it will be remarkable. Then again Kobra had literally zero play on this game entering the week.

I remember it took me over a week to beat the game for the first time when I bought the cart in 2015. And that was with continues. It took me even longer to 1CC.

I'm impressed by how much this game throws at you with no slowdown and minimal flicker. So much better than Astyanax.
