Great pick, I never played this before.   After 5 attempts I have a score of 35650.   I was only inches away from getting to level 5.
Title: Re: High Score Competition: #87 Metro Cross
Post by: draginit on March 14, 2012, 10:30:34 pm
kixfan, good start.  i think im gonna set the standard here and you should be averaging about 15k by end of level1 and 80k by end of level 4....

here we go..  after a 60 minute session today ill start us off at 140k round 12 ;D

-things ive noticed that might help,,,
   -the levels never change so you can repeat and improve each play
   - some later levels its better to stop time then to kick for points, however oh man does the    can multiplier rack up quick!!
-skateboard kicks ass! combined with a speed can and you can waste a level in seconds!
-dont stomp on a green can!! you will lose the speed bonus and it will only stop time for same amount of time as the blue can..

-kul now i think this score may hold awhile but i could be waaaay wrong..good luck!!

So, this game is better than the last one. First game blew, but the second one was about twice that. The green squares and especially the rats piss me off.
Title: Re: High Score Competition: #87 Metro Cross

you can ditch the rats real quick by flicking the joy back n forth twice....or if theres a springboard nearby.

81,850.

Level 6 keeps beating me up. Is level 8 like level 4 where it uses your carried over time in addition to its own time?

I'll start posting screenshots if I actually start getting a competitive score (cabinet has no internet access and the PC is hard to get to so I have to take pictures of the screen with my cell phone then email them to myself from there and then get them out of email and then upload them here, a pain).

lol,,that suks!!  heres what i use..cheap and works great  frys electronics wireless adapter (http://www.frys.com/search?search_type=regular&sqxts=1&query_string=frys+wireless+usb&submit.x=23&submit.y=18&cat=0)
I had to get one for SSfighter IV and since i run it all in one cab im always online..you would only have to access your cpu once,,worth it imo.

ya every 3 levels will add the total for the next level..the money is in the first 3 levels...ive had at one time 53 seconds added to my 4th level...mad points!!! after that i never really have more than 5-8 seconds left of each level..  btw,,level 8 is the killer...ugh so many times i lose to that level,but once past the next few are fairly easy again..

Hmmm...  Must be missing something.   My current score is 65K thru 6 rounds.   Need to check out that can multiplier?

Title: Re: High Score Competition: #87 Metro Cross
Post by: kixfan on March 17, 2012, 07:18:43 pm
Ok, getting closer.   I can now reach Draginit's target of 80k thru the first 4 rounds but I can't get past level 6 still.   

95,050

Post by: Gray_Area on March 18, 2012, 02:26:31 am
I just got two, spaced out, games of about 75k. I've played this maybe  fifteen times, as I can't stand more than a game or two a day, so I consider my progress pretty good.
Title: Re: High Score Competition: #87 Metro Cross

Well, I decided one more game. Cracked 80 grand.

Yeah, they love animal figures. Hey, do they call that guy Bruce??

So. I played two games just now. For some reason I wanted to play this game. First one I was a little behind, but learned something that got me a bit of points, and ended up at 87k. The next one I was cookin! Almost made it to the end!

hate it when that happens!! heh i dont think i was getting scores like that until level eight.......

glad to see some competition coming..ima sit down for another session today just in case i need to beef up my score  >:D

once you pass level six you'll find the next few levels a breeze..cept for level 8. its another tough one
Title: Re: High Score Competition: #87 Metro Cross
Post by: draginit on March 20, 2012, 11:14:30 pm
excellent score, by the way, grey_area..

Ok,, with the threat of you creeping up on me i up'd the ante a bit  >:D..doesnt look like much but anyone getting past level 8 knows how hard it is to make even 10k on those levels..
i believe this will be my last entry..unless of course it beat

Title: Re: High Score Competition: #87 Metro Cross
Post by: kixfan on March 21, 2012, 07:54:50 pm
Just a hair short!   After round 4 I'm averaging 100k.   On good rounds I've had as much as 109k.   I was so excited I misspelled my initials!

Post by: Gray_Area on March 22, 2012, 12:19:28 am
Nice. I expected that. I just got 124k, but should've had 135k. Round 8 doesn't look that hard, I just wasn't familiar with it, first time there. Perhaps my third time passing level 6.

Hmh hmh hmh hmh. I'm fighting to finish round six, so until I can finish 8, I'm not going to be any concern. And I think Kixfan will pass you up far sooner than that. I don't know what game I would pick anyways.

Post by: kixfan on March 23, 2012, 05:37:24 pm
Well, I did finally did get past level 8.   I almost got to 11.   It doesn't look like there are very many available points in this next group.   I continue to fine tune my game play to maximize points in the early rounds.   My last run I had 113k after 4 rounds.   I ended up with 159000 thru 8 rounds.   I'll post a picture latter if need be.

Post by: draginit on March 23, 2012, 07:46:02 pm
ya it wasnt until i saw your scores that i went back and re evaluated the early levels..i found i was losing so much time on level two  by jumping of skateboard too early which in turn lost points..cant always average 100k by lvl4 but dam close..there is just no points after lvl 10 ..just a race to finish.  im hoping this one holds to Tuesday

Post by: Gray_Area on March 24, 2012, 11:17:05 pm
@draginit: I'm surprised you don't know this....but.....if done right, you should never have to jump off a skateboard.

By the way, the two weeks date is actually the 27th.

Raising the bar...

194,600

Every time I think I can't gain anymore points in the first 4 rounds I seem to cut just a little more.   I was able to score 122k thru 4 rounds.   At the beginning of round 4 I had a surplus of 54 seconds.   Practicing and memorizing each of the locations of the hazards saves seconds which converts to 1k per second at the end of round 4.

Well, Gray_Area did mention not jumping off the skate board, I just didn't say why. >:D   Also, if you are on a skate board and run over a new one you get 2k.   I think my only chance will be to get to level 10 (~180k) and just start kicking cans.    I still can't figure out how to get past there.   I think i will take a quick shot at this and then go to bed.

I don't know how you were getting such scores, draginit, without doing the skateboards. I wouldn't get above 100k without.
