Title: Robbie Dun Good!
Post by: xelnia on June 24, 2015, 09:47:13 pm

Congrats to Robbie Lakeman (http://www.twitch.tv/lakeman421), who has upped his WR personal best by 14k and set the new DK arcade benchmark: 1,158,400 (https://donkeykongforum.net/index.php?topic=366.0)! Performed live at Funspot and restreamed on his Twitch channel, Robbie's immaculate play has left us all wondering: can his hugeness possibly get any larger? Check out some stats from the game below and watch the replay (http://www.twitch.tv/lakeman421/v/6557218) on his channel if you missed it!

Congrats Lakeman!! I was fortunate to see Robbie at the FS yesterday and took the photo of Robbie and Brian that you see on the main page.  Now the WR is where it belongs - at the FunSpot!!.  I told Robbie he cannot play DK anymore except at FS.  I suspect he will not honor my request  :)

of course I had to beat Robbie's score later that day at FS

WOW, Robbie. I think this will significantly shift the odds in Vegas. If you want to win some real cash, I know a player who's odds will be real long if you're willing to take a dive  ;)

Kongrats, well played and well deserved.

Wow, that's a huge jump. Congratulations man! Were there any announcements of a Donkey Kong kill screen coming up?

Title: Re: Robbie Dun Good!
Post by: domchimp on June 26, 2015, 05:23:41 am

There were no announcements of a kill screen coming up.  But considering who Brian was on the phone with, it was quite a deja vu moment...

So Billy Mitchell was on the other end?  This call may have been more deflating than the Steve Wiebe call.  Mitchell already had broken Steve Wiebe's score, but Lakeman's 1.158 million score is 33k higher than Mitchell's rumored high score.  Any ideas of getting back that record back went down big time with that call.

Thanks everyone for the kind words and support.  It's been a crazy 36 hours I got into Phoenix last night.  I just managed to highlight my game here on Twitch http://www.twitch.tv/lakeman421/v/6606915 (http://www.twitch.tv/lakeman421/v/6606915) and just got it onto Youtube here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMv3mEaijGU (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMv3mEaijGU)

Great article Chris!  I look forward to seeing everyone at KO4.

Congratulations Robbie on such a big score boost!  Very well deserved. 

In an effort to avoid derailing this thread too much I wanted to share a couple of semi-related thoughts here. . .

Thanks Dean for the kind words and support! You are really spot on with my approach to the learning experience I've had with DK. I took the game in baby steps and focused on one certain aspect at a time since it fits with my personality. The last part of my game that I had been working on was dumping barrels as little as possible and trying to find points where I can find them on the pie and rivet boards. In the end it really helped with my pace even with such a low start(Paying for each credit is a pain!!!) It had even got me more motivation to play more since progress is always encouraging. I'm not sure how much I'll play in the future, but I am still far from reaching my personal potential(Without torturing myself too badly Kappa)which I am excited to find out what that is.
