Wow! I'd love to see what you can do with an analog stick.

Thanks for the video DarkPlayer, it's taught me a bit about route optimization. I wonder though, your video doesn't seem it can be improved by much, so where would 5 extra hits come in? 1. Activating the enemy trigger on the far right before you face the first mechbot that knocks the tower hiding the laser, it might be possible to kill all 6 (or in my case 5) against the building to get 1 more hit. 2. Spamming the mechbots? I guess it's possible to do 4+ for all of them.. at most adding two more hits. 3. You can also spam the tree-hoppers (the enemies found a little after the waterfall that pop-out from the ground) from below the ground which gets you a +1.. I'd have to be pretty lucky though. If it's possible (not likely, since optimizing this part would be 2 blasts, 1 while they're underground and 1 right when they pop out so they blow up) which could be a total of 18 instead of what we get, which is 10-12. If it's POSSIBLE, I'd like to aim for 330, because it's a nice even number =) This does mean I might have to take back my word on "no damage" though. Edit: Forgot to mention you actually have 324. +11 hit bonus from a boss for killing it within a certain amount of time. It doesn't show, but it carries over.

it's possible to get one more hit for each of the mechbots before checkpoint, and one hit for both of them after checkpoint. that would be 5 hits. you will need perfect timing for that and many tries ^^ at the 'tree-hoppers' you can get hit+2's when you aim exactly between two of them. i think 330 is possible go for it ;-)

After watching your bomb before the waterfall, I wonder if that's the most you can get out of it? I'm told that 6 or more hits with that bomb is possible (I think you only got about 4 or 5), if I spam a little better on the bots and the tree-hoppers, I think 330 is -hopefully- within reach. ^^;; Thanks for all the help and the video DarkPlayer! <3 Edit: Forgot a question. You know a little after the checkpoint, when turbo through the enemy trigger and activate the one after.. do you shoot something on the far right? You seem to either miss it or shoot something else, but you get the one by the tower/building thing after that shot though.

i think i got 6 hits at the waterfall but it takes some time until the score counts up. without emulator i had 7 hits there sometimes

i didn't shoot anything on the far right, just ignore it ^^ i hit the enemy at the tower with a charged shot to the ground (you can see a green explosion) you said something about hit+11 for the boss, are you sure about it? i never saw that, and in your 310 video you got hit+10, too.

It says +10 after you kill the boss, but you get 1 extra point that isn't mentioned. I don't remember why exactly but I think it's because you killed the boss so fast.

you get 1hit for killing the enemy and 10 bonus points - > 11hits maybe you forgot 1 hit for the boss itself or did someone managed to get 12 hits?

The +10 is for killing the boss fast. It decreases as time does (+5, +1).

Hey everyone! I'm back, and before you think of the date, this is NOT an April Fool's joke! I will attempt one LAST attempt on breaking 328. If I can, I promise to finish the whole run at the very least.. if not, well.. we'll see =( Anyhow, just wanted to let everyone know I didn't die, though I'm a bit disappointed at the fact I wasn't able to do as well as I (and some of the better players here) hoped. Cheers? Edit: And if DarkPlayer or Dimij's friend sees this, please try and check this more often (or maybe IRC, which is even better! ^^) so I can refer to you for some tips/strategies. =3 Edit #2: Already +1 ahead! Expect a WIP in a few hours..

Alright, I have my WIP done so far, and I have a +4 lead compared to DarkPlayer's emulator run. Here it is! ^^; Some things to remember: 1. I will probably fix the last "bot" spam as I think I can squeeze in one more. Not entirely sure, but I think I can. 2. All bots will probably be tweaked with frame perfection to squeeze in (hopefully) one more hit. 3. ANY input is greatly appreciated. =D I also try to make things look interesting/entertaining, so do keep that in mind. =) Feedback is greatly appreciated! ^^ Edit: Updated the link, I got the extra hit! Yaaay ^^

Alright, here is the run so far! I am now currently holding a +5 lead on the emulator run, guaranteeing a "perfect" 328 score. However, I will probably get an extra hit squeezed in on the next two bots, and some other stuff along the way. I should be able to finish Corneria within this week, so expect a WIP of the completed world in 3-4 days tops. Also, I need input on whether or not I should barrel roll when Peppy tells me to, or just take them all out early on. If I take them all out early, I can attack the bots at the earliest possible moment, which is -VERY- needed.. Kanpai! ^^ Edit: The game is now fixed so my lead is restored to a +5. Improved route (well, not improved, just looks cooler) after the checkpoint.

hahahaha awesome!!! the multiple + + + points got me hooked up the whole time, and the going from one side of the screen to the other wow very nice. Congrats it played on my "hacked dump" and it asked me to put rumble pak on controller port 1, which i didn't, but it stayed synced fine. oh, and definitelly do a barrel roll when he asks to :)

Didn't work so well on the (J) (!) rom. :D Used (U) (!) which worked fine. Good job so far. I'm looking forward to the final version.

HOLY COW! This is insaaane! But if only 1 level took this long how long will the rest take?
I am just a silhouette, a silhouette of a memory of a solitary night .. nothing more.

Since this is the 1st level, is common that people have some uber records, since you can restart & play ASAP. So I would say that the next levels shouldn't take that much time...

Looks kinda insane <3 I hereby encourage you to continue working on this run with all your spirit. Please keep us informed of any progress you make. Thanks for your attention, you may must turn on your emulator now. Ganbatte ne

Hey everyone, decided to revive this after a restful (and pretty relaxing) vacation. Am now currently working again on Corneria and re-doing some parts, and I am fairly confident in saying breaking 330 will be done with some ease. Current run has a +5 lead despite losing it somehow (we kill the same things, but I think I lost a few hits from the bad hit system) so I should be able to top out about 330. Don't expect much for now, but do expect Corneria done from me sometime before this month IS OVER. (thanks kwinse <3)

Here is the checkpoint run! Alright, finally at the checkpoint since I had to go back and redo something. Changes made so far: 1. I opt for what Dimi and DarkPlayer do, and hit the falling tower early (the one that lands v not -> or <- getting an extra hit in early 2. I use my brake super early right before the checkpoint bots, and time it so I can use my brake again on the last bot before I cross checkpoint, adding in an extra hit and a +7 lead on the 323 emulator run.

Yeah, I'm using a keyboard. 253 before the water! Here you go. :) Any feedback/comments are greatly appreciated, as I feel the asthetic value has dropped a bit after the checkpoint (it's a bit sloppy.. maybe) but I'm aiming for score here. I'll probably get 254 tomorrow morning though.

<_< I just got done watching fox die after the end of the last one (which was rather entertaining even with the exceptionally long intro)! It killed my mupen though... >_> EDIT: Haha, nice work. Keep it up! :D

I think you are allowed to be less spectacular after all of the first part.. i'd offer criticism but i don't know much about the score system, i could never really get that high when i played it.
