SSBM Special Challenges (Match 11) - Page 7

PenguinMan · 04-10-2005, 10:48 AM

594 first shot.

2nd attempt yields 719.

Jigglypuff is really handy since if you Rollout someone with high damage, it should knock them out to the side and you'll get all those coins. I just need to learn how to use it more effectively.

Then try to finish off each of them in the last minute or so and collect the coins. Do your best to keep the computers from dieing off the top of the screen. If your damage gets too high wait for the perfect moment when the rest are busy and suicide off the edge, then quickly jump down and grab the coins you lost. That way you'll only lose about 50 or so, and if the cpus beat you to them you can just KO them to get them back. Of course, a lot can go wrong but when it pays off it should be BIG.

Nope, tried that and did even wrose than before. 464.

**Cravdraa** · 04-10-2005, 12:11 PM

^Each to their own. I hope you find something that works for you.

992 coins! Ha!

He didn't do that with me, but he did it with some CPU players a few times.

Tub-O-Troopa · 04-10-2005, 12:24 PM

I'll play this one a bunch more before the new match tonight. I'm not allowing myself to finish this without a single point.

[img]tongue.gif[/img]

Hmm.. I haven't tried simply staying out of the fray and letting them do all the work. Why? Because even if the CPUs are getting filthy rich, as soon as the tools start dropping, they get KOed. So instead I help to beat the crap out of them and Dark Dive whenever I'm sure I'll send them off the side.

So, I guess I'm just making it hard on myself.

Heh, when the tools start to fall, I just pour on the PK Fire. It holds the cpus in place so the tools don't usually KO them.

Koga · 04-10-2005, 03:33 PM

I got to try some more tonight. I don't wanna come in fourth again.

450, but I got knocked out when the timer was at 3. Damned Boswer

This time I had about 930 coins and I got knocked out by a tool in the last 5 seconds. I wanted to quicly roll to the house on the right of the screen, but my first roll ended exactly where a tool landed

The Yoshimaster · 04-10-2005, 03:44 PM

Holy crap... 994. That was a close one.

Tub-O-Troopa · 04-10-2005, 03:56 PM

I still have some time to play.. But still, gah. This'll be tough. At least if I come in 3rd I'll have an even number of points to cut in half.

Koga · 04-10-2005, 04:28 PM

I give up. No matter how often I try, there's always something that screws me up in the end.

Tub-O-Troopa · 04-10-2005, 05:12 PM

Same, but I'm not giving up. I woulda had over 1000 this time around...

Tub-O-Troopa · 04-10-2005, 10:07 PM

OH **** YES.

13 seconds left. All CPUs on the far left, ignoring the Gerudo. He calmly pivots and charges energy into his fist...

Wham. Triple KO. Gold coins poured onto me, and surviving the last seconds let me finish with a score of 1288.

The Tubbo is back in business.

Tub-O-Troopa · 04-10-2005, 11:31 PM

Yeeeeow. Our most competitive match yet. Scores were trumped, trumped again, and newcomer Crav came along and kicked everyone's ass. But in the end, persistance paid off, because his nasty score was topped not once, but twice! I barely managed to stay in the rankings, then had a BEAUTIFUL stroke of luck and finished with an insane amount of coins, letting me back into first. I was most pleased, as I was ready to give up and settle for a losery 1 point.

....I notice that Marilink didn't play this one at all. That sucks. At least he still claims the overall #2 spot, and I'm sure he'll hold onto it.

Now, the scores! First is Tubbo with 1288, which I couldn't have gotten without the Melee gods on my side (heh), and second comes Yoshimaster with his amazing 994. And somehow, pushed into third is Cravdraa with his 992, who frankly I expected to **** all over everyone else's scores. He certainly gave that impression. But everyone else also played very well, and their scores merit a listing:

Koga- 853, and initially our holder of the #1 spot
007- 804, a good start, but unfortunately, trumped all too easily
PM- 719, not bad at all, given the circumstances!
Knux- 467, eheheheh, I can't make fun of this, for all too many times I got KOed in the last few moments and ended with a score right around here.

Aaaaaaaaaaaand the rankings! Jumbled up a little bit-

Tubster/Ganondorf: 6
Marilink/Dr. Mario: 5
Yoshimaster/Yoshi: 5
Koga/Falco: 2
Knux/Pikachu: 1
Cravdraa/Ness: 1
PM/Jigglypuff: 0
007/Capt. Falcon: 0

(Anyone without points that also misses a match is dropped from the rankings, as has been done with Chunky. If he returns, though, he's still expected to use Mr. Game & Watch.)

And finally, our next challenge. As I promised, every 5th match will be a battle without extreme, or even slightly crazy conditions; simply you and the computers in a fight for survival. As such, this is a stock match. If your Melee skills are looking good, you should bode well.

Match Five Settings:
FREE FOR ALL
Mode: Melee
Map: Big Blue
CPUS: Peach(9) Mr. Game & Watch(9) Marth(9)
Stock: 15
Time: 20 Minutes
Handicaps: None
Damage: 1.0
Items: Food, Star Rod, Motion Sensor Bomb, Cloaking Device on MEDIUM setting
Self Destructs: 0

The time limit on this is quite generous; you should be finished well before the time is up. Being a stock match, your final score will be based on the amount of KOs you inflicted. This is a pretty annoying level to play on, so try to pummel your foes without self destructing (even if it's irrelevant to the actual score) and don't let their stock go to waste on an SD, too. G&W shouldn't provide much of a challenge at all, and AI-controlled Marth is easy to dispose of. Peach, on the other hand, can be very annoying if allowed. Deal with her carefully!

**Cravdraa** · 04-10-2005, 11:49 PM

Hey! I was about to go beat your score!

Edit: On the new one, are we just going by total KO? First try got me 15. =p All of those computers are hard to fight with Ness.

[ April 11, 2005, 12:29 AM: Message edited by: Cravdraa ]

Tub-O-Troopa · 04-11-2005, 12:39 AM

Total KO. Yep.

This match will end Wednesday night, by the way.

**Cravdraa** · 04-11-2005, 12:44 AM

16 now

Koga · 04-11-2005, 04:26 AM

I got 21, which surprised me as I was the first to be defeated, while the others had two stocks left. This stage is giving me some trouble.

I knocked out Peach 6 times, G&W 9 times, and Marth 6 times.

After a couple of more tries (scoring between 18 and 21) I now got 23 (Peach 6 , G&W 9, Marth 8). Incidentally, this was the first match I actually won (with 2 stocks left).

You were right about Peach, Tub, she is annoying as hell.

[ April 11, 2005, 08:19 AM: Message edited by: Koga ]

Koga · 04-11-2005, 10:02 AM

24 (Peach 9, G&W 6, Marth 9) Mr. Game & Watch had a lot of SDs this time.

I think I can do much better than this, as I could've knocked out G&W a lot more, and I also got knocked out by a bomb, when Peach still had to stock left.

The Yoshimaster · 04-11-2005, 11:18 AM

First try got me 17.

Something that's always bothered me about stock matches is, if you're defeated first, you've got to wait for all the CPUs to finish fighting before you can quit.

EDIT: Got 24.
