D2K serious competition??

Now that is a good question!

I have a friend who is a top 10 world player (at DK) who keeps wanting me to get "in shape" so to speak but hell, I don't think there is much more than a year left before the "theoretical max" is hit. Even if I worked at it every day (and had the skill) I wouldn't make it. D2K on the other-hand is relatively new, adaptable to old machines, uses some of the same skill sets and is hard as hell! I love this idea!

Is there even a recognized current high score holder/board for DK2? With T.G. all jacked up I won't even waste time looking for it....
 
IMHO no. The game is a neat concept and a welcome addition to my DK machine's lineup, but it seems like it is difficult primarily due to sort of shoddy design.
 
Now that I think about it, it probably doesn't kill screen either... Marathon games are OK but not the kind of thing I want to see in a competition.
 
Ben Falls has the Arcade Record for this at 395k I belive.. He had allso the mame record intell recently when someone beat him on Marp .
 
D2k........

Now there is a seriously hard game

My high is only 24K or something :(

Sure could use some tips

....I agree, but that's what makes it fun at the same time!

My high score is around 80k or so (5 lives I think - is that cheating? lol)....quick you tube search found this clip 195,600:

Dustin, aka MrWaffles -klovr, is definately a contender for the WR. He is a friend of mine. I believe the "unofficial" record has bounced back and forth between Ben and him.

I wouldn't say it has a shoddy design, but you can tell Jeff intentionally eliminated some of the point pressing opportunities. On top of that, his new levels don't lend to point pressing, either. I'm barely able to clear most of them with any kind of bonus timer left. This is the reason I think it could be a good competition game. It would throw off the big dogs and make them rethink their game. Could be fun to see who would come out on top.

I think your completely off by this.. Hank the WR Holder for DK has been playing DK2 recently.. There has been talk of a Mini DK2 Off at the KO3.

BTW I'm one of those Big Players your talking about.
 
D2K Jr.

I wonder if Jeff (or anyone else) would be up for the task of creating new levels for DK Jr.?

You know, D2K Jr. .....

Then on to D2K3, lol

I've definitely checked out your vids. You are for sure a top contender. I just meant that the pressing strategies change. Would be cool to see some D2K at the KO3, as well. Hope it happens.

I've asked Jeff about this and he says Jr is a whole different animal. Not sure about DK 3.
 
Maybe, just maybe....

Talk to him again ;)

If he could do this.....man would that be cool!

I'm pretty sure most collectors that have purchased D2K would get D2K Jr., and probably increase sales of D2K at the same time!! I'm sure there isn't enough $$ to get overly excited about, but would give him an idea of the possible market there...

TY for saying that! I kill screened a verson of Crazy Kong today..

Yes DKJR is a completely different game from DK .. Some people feel that DKJR is a harder game then DK. That makes me feel really good!

I have the DK2 Kit and i've hardly played it .. I've never gotten past Level 3 Rivit screen.

That Level 3 Oven with the 2 fireballs at the top is a pain! Cleared it maybe 2 times.
 
@ simpsons99: What are your feelings on the original DK being "maxed" so to speak? Once that is reached the interest will wain quickly I think. DK2 seems a natural progression....
 
D2K has a pseudo kill screen as at some point, I forget which level, the springs become impassable. It has been tried in MAME.

I've kill screened DK and DK Jr but haven't gotten into D2K. Looks fun though.
