Are you a master level robotron player? No? Well how far away are you?
I was perusing the definitive resource for all things Robotron,
http://www.robotron2084guidebook.com/gameplay/startingjourney/players/
and discovered the following criteria to determine if you are at Master Level player....Or in layman's term, you kick ass on Robotron......
As robotron is my favorite game and the one game that I have achieved a modest degree of success, I thought it would be interesting to see where other klov members sit on the master level continuum.....
The first and easiest to understand criteria.....
Breaking 10 Million....I have never broken 10 million, the best I have done is around 6 million and change...During that game, I was rocking along with a full rack of men, but as any robotron player knows, I fell out of the groove, lost a ton of men on on of the brains and my quest to 10 million failed....
Second guidepost, exceeding 600,000 on tournament settings...This I have never really tried....I can be very streaky, I can lose a ton of men on a really simple wave or I can clear a few waves without dying....Mostly the former.....Tournament settings are 5 men, difficulty level 5 and no free men.....
Third guidepost, surpassing screen 40 on difficulty level 10....since I prefer think in scores rather than levels, I played this morning on difficulty level 5 and went past screen 40 to see what the approximate score necessary to achieve this end....Not surprisingly, one needs about 1.25 million to hit screen 40....My best on difficulty level 10 was around 940,000 or so....close but no cigar.....
In short, I am clearly no master player.....When I see redelf playing on youtube

I am clearly not in league with these guys....they are master level players in my book.....
So fellas, how close are you to mastering robotron, are you close to any of the 3 goals for master level player?
Also, for those looking to improve, spend some time on
