Yeah, that was sorta my point.

There were no inps for HS either... I spose speed doesn't come into that game too much until the later rounds.

Because of the oneroundonly TnF, speed is essential to get over 90k (still can't do it meself hehe)

Undoukai isn't really about speed either, max speed is easy to get and theres only a couple of events that i remember you'd actually want max speed.

Dunno about 88games /goldmedl and stuff like that.. TJT, is speed a huge factor in these?

Hi,
88games,konami88...good speeds sure helps. But very essential amount of points comes from skeet or whatever duckshooting.
At Goldmedl speed comes very important at second round. I played that earlier and made some quite good score, but recorded on that good inp(grrr), after that I forget the game. I recall hurdles is quite difficult.

BTW, 88games +clones are quite good game. But couple of things developers should have thought about:
I hate "you have broken the world record" +throwing in the air after that for too long time.
What were they thinking when putting 2 times 400meters for one round!???!! Really a handkiller +not fun at all!

TJT

P.S.

Hisa, I would need some competition to better my Tron record.
Maybe you would be happy to have someone "challenge" you at Klax then...
I know at "stalker" no one can beat u.

Sure it does...cuz you can get another 500-1000+ points for each of those early round running/speed events if you are that tad bit faster versus someone else.

Sure, it might not seem like a lot, but when the game reaches a point where the chances of getting through to the next event are slim to nearly impossible, maxing your score throughout is important. You just have a few more rounds to do it in versus T-n-F where you only have 1 go-around.

I can not get under 16sec at undoukai 100m with hotrod joystick. If I map both run-buttons at one button, it's possible, but not legal surely?. If I try sixfinger with 2 buttons -all I get is lots of falling down to the ground.

Who decides/deletes/does something about this whole issue?
Pat? Chad? Barry? All the editors?

the difference between sub50s on swimming and sub 45 is about 500 points. speed is not an issue on HS. Passing skeets is as is 9.60+ on ong horse (for which rhythm is more important)

hmm, I could have sworn I said 500-1000 points...hmmmm. :P

However, add that up over 5 rounds and it's a few thousand...plus the extra 0.05 or 0.10 you can get on the vault horse for another 500 or 1000 points....and perhaps additional weight level at weightlifting for 500-1000 points

Suddenly it might only be 500 points more each of those events but in 5 loops that adds up cuz you are doing those each loop.

Not running your fastest on the first few rounds only because you don't need to to get past the event adds up to throwing away at least a few thousand...perhaps more depending on how much slower you go.

Those are points you can't get back...until you start a new game and run your fastest from the 1st swimming event. :P

I still disagree.

I'm faster on the speed events than both TJT and Al (most of the time) but they are better on the skill points like skeets and pole vault. The 30k gap between 1st and 3rd is not down to speed.

yes, but if you were equal at skeets and pole vault to them then you would be outscoring them if you do run faster.

Treat each event as a separate skill and game instead of just looking at the overall picture.

To say you can slack off some in 1 event cuz you have room for improvement in other events doesn't make sense.

it still results in having a little lower score whether you get 4000 each trial in the skeets or perfect all 3 trials.

....still 500-1000 less from swimming whether you nail the pole vault to get many mole bonuses or none at all.

They are all independent events...all contribute toward your overall score.

500 points less in the first swimming event is 500 points less in your final score regardless of what you do after that first swimming event...so why slack off and throw away those points? The same goes for the vault horse and the weightlifting.
