I disagree with this tricks. In my opinion, it shouldn't be allowed in this game.gameboy9 wrote:I found this on the history.dat file (I think that's the file...) - it's very complex to accomplish, but it may be to your advantage:
- TIPS AND TRICKS -
Earning Extra Lifes : In stage 2, lose 1 life against boss. Beat him. When you come to the 3rd stage, don't break the barricades, just wait. First kill the Fat-Man and the Soldier.
WARNING : If you launch a desperation attack (attack+jump), all the effort will be lost.
Then wait until the Bird Man comes run against you. Hit him with a strong strike (push front+punch). Don't hit him while is recovering. Wait until he runs to you again and make the same. you can kill him after 3 strikes (unless with Lancelot).
If you're done correctly, hit the barricade of the above, don't pick the food, try to turn apart it, and you'll get a surprise... a cheess pieces with 2 lifes (2UP) waiting for you.
If you kill the second Bird-Man in the same way, the second item in the barricade will give you 1 more level (green sceptre).
If you remember, a 3rd Bird-Man gets into the castle when you break the bridge's barricade. Do the same trick with him inside, break the down barricade, break the item and you'll get one more life (1UP).
While I certainly do not disagree with you... with how complex this trick is, you surely won't get first place even if you are able to accomplish it, as I would think that you'll lose substantial time doing the trick. Looking at the history.dat, I'm sure that the rest of the games don't have any of these tricks whatsoever, so I'm going to allow it this time, seeing that this is the first game.el_fumador wrote: I disagree with this tricks.

And for the remaining games, I think the same.
These tricks will penalize skilled players in this game and the following games (if it's applied). In a Time Trial competition you must assume risks to get a good score. If you don´t risk you don't have chances to qualify in a good position. Otherwise, if you can obtain extra lives and have got 4 or 5 lives , what merit exists to complete the 4 stages?
From this point of view, it's true that there is a loss time if somebody tries to obtain the extra lives. I don't how many seconds or minutes are necessary to have successfull results. But if somebody gains 2 or 3 extra lives in less than 2-3 minutes will have a huge (and for me unfair) advantage versus the rivals that don't intend to use the trick.gameboy9 wrote:While I certainly do not disagree with you... with how complex this trick is, you surely won't get first place even if you are able to accomplish it, as I would think that you'll lose substantial time doing the trick.

EDIT: The other matter is, now that I'm thinking about it, it was deliberately programmed into the game... I remember a game in the Knockout tournament a while back where a bug in a racing game where you bump into the car and you go speeds normally impossible in the game... those cases where players could utilize unintended bugs I would NOT allow here.

Unfortunately, while the X was over the second pawn on the stage 3 map, the rules of this game stipulate that only when the screen fades out and back in is when a substage is completed, which doesn't happen until the stairs of the 2nd substage, so you're given credit for only one substage completed. Therefore, your score on MARP should be reduced by 10,000.
It ends Sunday at 235959 GMT... or a little under 36 hours from this post. Please note we're going to start round 2 right after the end of round 1. (or slightly before the end of round 1, depending on my real life schedule...)INNUENDO wrote:... By the way, Gameboy9, when the Round 1 finishes?
No worries, you're good... you just gave constructive criticism/opinion... I've got no problem with that!el_fumador wrote:Sorry if I seem a bit hard, gameboy. I only wanted to clarify my previous opinion.
As giro-x said it can be quite difficult have suuccess with the trick and a waste of time higher than I expected. No use magic in stages 1 and 2? Wow... hard battle versus Bradford![]()
I apologize if I disturb somebody.
Let's enjoy the game
