Have you progressed much further since you last posted a score?
That's for Brock to know and skinny to speculate!
Now I know what it's like to have a high score and be worrying about what others will post. I'm wondering whether I should make an effort to beat the game this weekend or start practicing Roller Games.
I always think of it this way; if I play a game for another 10 hours, how many points in the standings to I actually stand to gain? Its its 1, then its not worth it

I always post early. I don't worry about what others will post. If they beat my score then so be it.
I think it's a bigger accomplishment to post early and have no one be able to beat your score than to sneak in a winning score at the last second. Nothing wrong with either approach,but in my opinion the latter choice is often fear driven...the fear of having your score beaten.
I also think posting early is good for competition. To see a score and try to surpass it is fun and I think it fuels competition and leads to better scores overall. My opinion of course.
And Rollergames. Ugh. It makes me sad that Konami/Ultra produced this abomination.
Gameplay, haha. It was one of my favorite rentals as a kid. I remember it being a good time. We'll see if it still holds up or if childhood nostalgia gets crushed.
I flip flop. Sometimes its fun to hold the cards tightly to your chest. Especially since skinny wants this shooter icon BADLY
...or maybe these are just mind games and he has nothing to worry about
Oh I get it. There is definitely gamesmanship in holding your scores,but that's not my style at all.
I definitely have a Gutsman type mentality when it comes to the contests.
Scared?! Scared?! I ain't scared a nobody!!....
Sept Bert (I think he's the only one who's beat me when I'm talking smack Kobra style). And I'm not going to give him a target to shoot for, that's for sure.
All you other jabronies can turn it sideway... And you know the rest
Gameplay, haha. It was one of my favorite rentals as a kid. I remember it being a good time. We'll see if it still holds up or if childhood nostalgia gets crushed.
The gameplay is less than stellar. I didn't grow up with it. Never played it in my life until last week. I don't typically play the contest games early anymore,but I was intrigued and wanted to see how it was.
Woof...
I can say the music and sound effects are classic Konami goodness.
Hey skinny, I've been playing black box Golf for the Survivor thing, Contra III and Joe and Mac for my other contest, and Harvest Moon and Ultima for my SNES thread.
And I'm hosting a NES competition with friends tonight.
And I'm STILL going to beat you
...or am I bluffing about one thing or another. Guess you better grind this bitch just to be sure.

I'm fairly confident that even if I beat Isolated Warrior, my score will still be topped by you and Bert because you two excel at shooters. I also refuse to play dirty and sweeten my score with any intentional point racking. I'd rather have an honest score that is lower.

Btw,as far as the boss of level 2 and it's rocks,one bomb drop when you approach it will stop that instantly.
I agree posting early ftw is more impressive, no doubt.
But, rules is rules. There is no rule that says you have to post early. And. Kobra Kai always play by the rules
Level 6 is a real bitch if you die, eh? Good thing Brock don't die.
My strat for that stage is to quickly switch to spread before dying and just do my best to survive to the next checkpoint during the tough sections. The important thing is keeping the fully powered straight shot. Stage 6 is brutal.

I would hope that's how we all feel. *tips hat*
This is why I keep coming back to the contests....the camaraderie,the competition,and the fight to try to top each others' scores.
That's why I love early score posts so much,it gives you something to shoot for,a goal to beat. And even if you can't it's fun to see if others can top a particular high score.

Yeah, I always immediately drop a level 5 bomb on that boss to stop the rocks. Then it's short work to beat him. He's probably the easiest boss in the game... although the stage 5 boss is also extremely easy as long as your weapon is fully upgraded.

If anyone is having trouble with the stage 4 boss, it is possible to insta-kill it. I've insta-killed it a few times without even trying to.
Using the bombs I'm assuming?

Gameplay-wise, or aesthetics-wise?
Radical!

Yeah, I pretty much agree. Beat it earlier this year, probably won't revisit it for a while. The controls can make it really annoying at times.
