Title: My Mario Bros Ambitions
Post by: Donkey Kong Genius on December 20, 2014, 01:46:27 am
I believe that it is about time for me to begin to create a thread for Mario Bros the same as I did for Donkey Kong Junior, which will give me a place to post the videos that I create, etc. :D

Timeline:

A small increase of 520 points this evening. 1,179,080 was the final score. Very upsetting and discouraging. http://www.twitch.tv/clchambers00/c/5723196 (http://www.twitch.tv/clchambers00/c/5723196) Once again I get passed a million while still on my second man, and then within 200k I literally stop knowing how to play the game. Almost had one million on my first man. At this pace, the list will have to be updated 1000 times before I reach 2 million. So sit back and enjoy the 10 point increase that I will get a few days from now.  <popcorn>

I am happy that this is the third million in ten days. No so hard any more. Just got to keep my mind doing what it knows how to do. I wish that I could get past this fatigue, anxiety, and mental block. I should be able to put up a 2 million game.

I finally broke the 900k - 1M curse and busted out 1,613,420 on Mario Bros Arcade, POW variation. This was my fourth game over a million and was determined to break the cycle and ran my last man for awhile. I switched my style on the crab level, playing it out differently more like Tom and Steven. I even practiced on the fly level the way Steven and Stephen does it. I also changed my Turtles to match Steven. I watched a bit of Tom and Steven over the last few days. I am very pleased with the way I played despite that my deaths were not good at all. I will have to press for two million attempts now.

Merry Christmas to me! :D

I had created a new Mario Bros video on green fireball timing but I did it on phase 1, and unfortunately the length of the platforms is different so now I must redo it. I will post the update as soon as I can.

Slow going since I took a break to work on some Junior NES. Switched my approach to the game which I am sure also has effected my timeline. With that said, I got up to 1.4M tonight with my new approach so crossing my fingers that I will be able to do one attempt a night and hopefully break out again.
