Title: Wes Copeland scores 1,218,000!!!
Post by: xelnia on May 05, 2016, 06:08:22 pm
Probably the best game of DK ever played. 1,173,800 on his first man and Wes dethrones Dean as the undisputed DK world champion. What an incredible performance. I don't even know what to say. Tears in my eyes, mate.

I am in shock.  I new he was going to get 1.2 million.  No way on earth did I think he was going to best Dean's score though by almost 12k

So much Kreygasm.
50 hours of DK a week at times in prep for this big score.  If anyone argues that the score simply "fell in to place"... they should check the past broadcasts 8)

Congrats sir, enjoy your reign as KING

To those that do feel they are not lucky enough getting such a score.

I am a fan of the golfing legend Gary Player

Facebook: Robbie Lakeman response:
Quoted
Robbie Lakeman I'm not lucky enough. Good enough, but not lucky enough.

Quote
In an interview in Golf Digest magazine in 2002 Gary Player presents an entertaining story about the origin of the expression [GPGD]:

I was practicing in a bunker down in Texas and this good old boy with a big hat stopped to watch. The first shot he saw me hit went in the hole. He said, “You got 50 bucks if you knock the next one in.” I holed the next one. Then he says, “You got $100 if you hole the next one.” In it went for three in a row. As he peeled off the bills he said, “Boy, I’ve never seen anyone so lucky in my life.” And I shot back, “Well, the harder I practice, the luckier I get.” That’s where the quote originated when he was playing and motivate himself.

Every hat in the Cagiverse is off. Bravo Wes

Robbie was on track with a better score only at level 20 Wes did surpass him.

So I am not a DK expert at all but looking at the aggresive point pressing Robbie did had up to this point
If one do not take into consideration of the men at the end this clearly do show that a higher score is poosible?
Add up Robbie score of level 20 -1 to Wes end game levels 20-2 onwards one do get an higher score what Wes just now did so I feel someone will break Wes score eventually.....

Just as we all thought breakng Dean's score on Mame was unbreakable.

All the best of luck and surpassed blessings o the next pioneers of this game.

Regards Francois du Toit

If someone ever manages to hold a 1.2m pace w/o deaths until the end of the game, and gets the SAC situation that wes got, the score would certainly be beaten by a healthy margin.  The difference with this score is that Wes managed to get all the way to the end without a single mishap or mistake, which is really pretty remarkable when you realize the difficulty of holding a high pace.
Title: Re: Wes Copeland scores 1,218,000!!!
Post by: francoisadt on May 08, 2016, 11:13:02 pm
Hi

Yes I agree, but what if one of you experts work out some strategy combing both patterns/manners of play of Wes Copeland and Robbie Lakeman

Like George Riley did describe the two gamers different strategies they did follow in more detail here:
http://www.classicarcadegaming.com/forums/index.php/topic,6672.msg75367/topicseen.html#msg75367 (http://www.classicarcadegaming.com/forums/index.php/topic,6672.msg75367/topicseen.html#msg75367)

So taking George's idea forward practically:
Play from level 1 to 10 - aggressively like Robbie without loosing a man and then switch to a more conservative safer playing method of Wes up level 20.

Now if one can have at 10-1, no man loss about a few K ahead of what Wes score was for his 1.2M mark of 452,200 like what Robbie had of 469,900 for his 191K game.
Here Robbie allready did had 17K ahead in pressing points but becuase of Wes end game, Wes was able to max out.
So now from 10-2 switch to more safer manner of play to try reach 20-1 with no man loss or only one man loss, then at the end max out..?

Also maybe to work out a play strategy to safer at some screens and more aggressive at the more difficult ones?
Like maybe level 1 and 4 are "easier" to pressing for points for your experts whereas the other two play safer and so on..?

Wow.  Just wow.  I'm floored.  Congratulations Wes, you are the champion of DK.  Others will eventually cross the 1.2M threshold on DK Arcade, but you, sir, will always be the first to have done it.  Nice job.  Having accomplished this monumental score, what do you think is realistically possible as far as pushing that score up higher?
