arghhhhhhh hyper sports (again) :( OI!!! AL!!!! this right??

Post by dskys »

Best game in years and what? Fail at something completely easy :(

I know 99.9999% of people dont give a crap, but to fail where I did after such good rounds :(

STOOPID GAME :(

for reference:

46.6 swimming
16.2 :/ skeets
9.45 :( lh
4600 Archery
19.27 tj
450 wl
5.92 pv

(the point (to meeeeeee) is that i was 20k up on my usual score when i fcked up :(


Mine was 678,000 , losing the game, as always ,on 6th Round swimming ( 45sec00 ).
I didn`t really bother playing machines with settings at one round only , so can`t quote any scores there .

Ahh yes...back when I was young , fast , and sober(-ish ).....

Cheers ,

Nah theyre not.. heheh,,

um everything is apart from pv and swimming i think.

was about 117k after first round, 210 after second and just over 300k at the start of the fourth. ..

i normally get about! 275k after 3 rounds :(

best first rounds are prolly around sub45 swimming, 16200 skeets, 960 horse, 4600 archery, 19+ long jump, 520 wl and 5.91 pv.

that would be a good game... i've had 17.2 skeets in the past and 9.65 on the horse, but thats about it :)

im fed up cos the minute i get close to a good inp i screw up (on lh this time :() but i'd had crap lh every round anyway so it was proilly on the cards hehe

:)

yeah, that's some serious speed...same for the 9.65! Is that 13 or 14 flips? I don't think I ever got that high...but remember doing 9.55 or 9.60 a couple times.

Are you using keyboard or some x-arcade or other type device?
I'm guessing arcade-like buttons so they pop up very quickly to press again. My keyboard just doesn't have the response to be that quick I think.

9.65 is 12 spins and a fingertip short of perfect board - i seem to get better jumps by NOT being perfect on the springboard?!?!. I use a logitech cordless keyboard/gamepad for fire. The pic below wasn't RLH either, and when I hit 17200 on skeets i'll carry on with the game :)
