Submission Text Full Submission Page
Every single thing you do determines where the computer goes and if a shot goes in. How long you wait to knock an opponent down has something to do with if the opponent falls or doesnt turn over the ball. So much randomness means this would be a fun competition game for people to try and beat the records.
  • Quarter 1 106-0 106 Points scored
  • Quarter 2 218-0 111 Points scored
  • Quarter 3 316-0 98 Points scored
  • Quarter 4 409-0 93 Points scored
3 goals for someone to beat this would be:
  • 1)Most scored in a quarter (111)
  • 2)Most scored total in a game (409)
  • 3)Improvement on the lowest scoring quarter (93)
Truncated: Everybody seems to agree that this was a bad idea for a movie. After the five first dunks, you have basically seen all of what's going to happen - far too repetitive. Rejecting.

I would have much rather seen the Vancover Grizzlies beat the stuffing out of the Bulls than the other way around.

Well that certainly got old fast. That was worse than the MK2 run. I see absolutely no reason to watch that for 14 minutes. I think you should work on something more substantial, which probably means no sports or fighting games. Anyone can manipulate luck and use the same fighting move 10 times in a row, or keep stealing the ball and getting 3 pointers. Show us something that requires creativity and skill. Voting No.

If you had figured out a way to play as the Washington Generals and shut down the Globetrotters, I'd watch that movie again and again... ...in any case, we've already had this kind of situation with Tecmo Super Bowl and the boredom that movie caused; Arc, the creator, then made another version which used luck manipulation to keep the scores close, and made a more exciting movie to watch. Why not do something like that, if sports games interest you?

I know little/nothing about sports, but it apears durring the "pass in" phase of the game, the clock stops. To my knowledge, you only need to have more points at the end then completly dominate them. Upon this, I'd say it would be faster to get a single point then fuck with them until the end.

That would be faster, but he wasn't going for fastest time. There's not much point in a speedrun on a game that has a fixed time limit. He's going for highest score, which is why it's so boring. By the time it's 400-0, it clearly isn't a challenge. It doesn't take any skill to make a run like this, which is why sports games generally aren't suited to this kind of movie.

Well actually, it's absolutely incredible to do a run of this magnitude, score wise... believe me.. the game is RIGGED to cheat if you start winning... but this illustrates that it's not quite AS rigged, but the randomness is extreme, so it comes off as rigged. Sadly though, I must agree that it gets too boring too quick. Perhaps a 4P game where you use a myriad of secret codes and hidden characters and kept it close... that could be truly entertaining..

When I say that it's not hard, I mean that scoring again and again is simply a matter of trying again and again until you successfully steal the ball or get a basket. It could take hundreds, thousands, or even millions of re-records to pull it off. But it's just the same thing over and over again. What it requires is patience. It doesn't require creating a longterm strategy, like the clever Dragon Warrior run. It doesn't require coming up with an amazing new way to save time by overcoming an obstacle in a way that shouldn't be possible, like Mario running through walls in SMB1. It doesn't require a team of people to think about and discuss ways to beat existing records like most movies do. It requires only one person to try again and again and again to steal the ball and get a basket. It's one strategy, repeated the whole game, attempted until it succeeds. Patience yes, but where's the skill in that?

Voting no. Far too repetetive, I'm afraid. I stopped watching at 100% speed after Pippen dunked 5 times in a row. I stopped watching at full turbo speed after the Bulls hit 50 points.

On one hand, fun to see the score get racked up. You did try to create some variety in what you did, but it wasn't enough. I'd say, like others, go for the close game matchup. Voting meh.
