Ooh, a really good one this week, and another like Batman that I'm really good at.
Hey, if any of us happen to make it through the game without dying, are we to just keep going once the game loops, like we did with Batman?
Damn...this is going to be tough, keep accidently pressing that stupid mode button on my controller when trying to press select. For this one I may have to change button locations. Gotta figure something out, keep dying on early stages, and this on a game I can beat without dying even on the hardest difficulty. This is when I really wish I had the cart. Tired of playing on emulator.
Okay, had no choice, had to reconfigure my buttons, but still playing rather sloppy. This one because of the diagonal usage for some moves is causing me to do moves that I don't want to do and getting hit all too often. I struggled to make it to level 6. Its going to be more frustrating playing this one than I first thought, but will do what I can with what I have. Anyway, first decent score in, though I know I can do much better.
Score upon 1st death 79,530
Update, higher score, one level further:
Score upon 1st death 96,910
Updated score again, see a later post further down page.

I played it a bit, and I think we'd be just good with going through only once.
Does it get harder when you loop it?

I have that same issue with that damn controller. It's the one thing I do not like about it.
Yes, it gets harder. I've looped the game 4 times ever and each time enemies take an extra hit. You get three different endings for the first three times through, but while the fourth time is harder than the third, no change to ending. Don't know if it continues to get harder after the 4th game, never bothered to play it beyond that point. But I think, like we did with Batman, and Super C, looping should definitely be in. I think several people here can pull off some really awesome scores for this one, if I had it on the NES I certainly could.
Okay, we'll play Kick Master with looping, cause it is definitely appropriated.
Honestly, Batman and Super C were different stories.
What is good about looping, because it allows those that are really good at it to keep going even after the game ended until they finally lose their first life, and afterall, it is a one life rule, why should they stop playing just because they reached the ending without dying, if you only play to the end of the game, kind of cuts it short if you never died. Obviously many games do come to a complete end at the end, but hey, if they are open to looping I love it for these kind of contests.
I enjoyed Batman for the reason that I could keep going until I lost my first life, and finding out after all those years playing this game that it did in fact loop, I was estatic, it was a shame that the difficulty didn't increase though, so replaying by way of looping would only be good for contests such as this, but it did allow me to get in some major practice and perfect my gaming skill on it., In the case of Super C because there was no 1 life rule, because it wasn't really possible for that one being as how the score was shown, I just got too tired to go on any further, that one was a bit crazy, if you were halfway decent at the game and had enough stamina you could pretty much go on until the score is maxed out, even though the game did get increasingly harder each time, but it was still enjoyable.
Update to score. But dammit, still accidently killing myself. Duck kicked an enemy, or at least meant to, but instead did a slide kick off of a ledge. Stupid d-pad is too wobbly, slight diagonal press and its over with, still surprises me how I even managed to play some of the other games I did pretty well on recently. Need to stay away from ducking and attacking when bottomless pits are nearby to be on the safe side.
Score upon 1st death 113,220
51,850
Updated high score below!
I suck at this game
I haven't beeb able to put anymore time aside for this one, doesn't help I'm using time for playing the game with me cross-stitching a piece for it. Also too worn out from work to really have the energy to play well. But Sundays store closes early, so I might have a couple hours left to work on getting a better score, so maybe I'll be able to get in one more game of this tomorrow, if I'm up for it.
NEW HIGH SCORE = 377,660
Actually the best way to beat Belzed is with the Quake magic, which stuns her, just back her into a corner, kick away at her, and when she's about to break out of your magic's hold over her, quake her again and continue kicking the crap out of her.
Awesome score by the way. I'm not going to be able to make it to get in another score, its already getting too late, just got home from work, took a shower, put clothes in the washer, getting ready to get something to eat, and I'm really too tired anyway to play anything to be able to even do good enough at it.

Yea I didn't mean I Knee Dropped Belzed as you would get hit every time trying to do that. I noticed if you stay below level one and don't go through without leveling up once you can beat her with the up kick. She gets frozen with the first hit and you continue.
Yeah, knee drop is pretty much good for everything, and what's great is that its an earlier learned move. One I don't care for is the blazing flip kick, doesn't work too well for a later attack.

Hardly had time for this game this week.
I wish I could loop that damn game before the end of the week, but I kept dying in random holes, which is very frustrating.
However, if it wasn't of my girlfriend yelling at me when I was trying to pass the last level, I think I would have been able to beat it, or at the least, top Megan's score. But I just can't blame the girl for trying to get my hands off that Nes controller and do something more constructive.
Also, that's a fine game that I never played before.
