Jeeez im proper shite compared to thge scores you lot are banding about

any chance of a bit of a guide please ???

is it just a case of press the buttons as fast as you can or is rhythm more important.
also on jumping events is 45 degrees the best angle.

100 mtrs 10.04 secs
long jump 9.25 mtrs done this far once normally around 8.45 meters
javelin 74 mtrs
hurdles 11.66 secs
hammer 93 mtrs let it fly on seventh spin ??
high jump 2.38 mtrs i think cant remember

any help would be great these scores are my best usually do quite worse

Both rhythm and speed are important and yes 45 degree is the optimal angle

On the dash you just mash...but yes timing does affect the bottom line...the key here is the start...when the announcer says "get set" I ususally count about a 5 count in my head and start going...you get 3 chances so you are ok if you jump the gun.

long jump requires speed, timing and trying to a least touch the white line...you athelete jumps "faster" (for lack of better word) than when he jumps before it. 45degrees optimal here.

javelin...I have no idea...it is my worst event. I have been told 42 degrees is best here...but my best throw was using 46...I do tend to do better around 42 or 43 though.

hurdles requires speed timing (for the jump) and the start trick again.

hammer...I usually do one safe throw to qualify and then go for the gold on the other throws...basically it is luck but if you have impecable timing you can nail it pretty regular. 45 degrees here also.

High jump is a bit tricky to explain. I do know that hammering the run buttons while you are jumping makes you go higher.

That's about all I know to tell ya on the events...anyone else got some tricks or tips?

I always thought High Jump was the last level? No?

I believe the game can be set to end after high jump or to continue through until you "die"

MikeDeuce:

Can someone explain the high jump to me? I nail it so infrequently :hissy:

You are supposed to hit the button again after lift off, right? To adjust your angle mid flight, no? I was never any good at the high jump at the arcade, either... Many a quarter fell victim :(
