Title: Robbie Lakeman scores 1,021,100 at Funspot
Post by: mikegmi2 on July 12, 2013, 07:08:24 am

I got my info from Allen's post on Facebook, but this officially would put Robbie into the top 12!

So for those keeping track at home, I believe the TG official list would look something like this, once official arcade scores are verified and the scoreboard is updated:

1. Hank
2. Vincent
3. Jeff
4. Dean
5. Steve Wiebe
6. Billy
7. Mark
8. Shaun
9. Mike
10. Robbie
11. Steve Wiltshire
12. Dave

Thanks Phil.  Don't forget that Jon got 1.025 so I should be 11th if everything was up to date and verified.

Oh yea that's right, but from what I heard he is not planning on submitting the score because he isn't planning on attending the KO3...

I never knew not cashing in my last man on my 1.015M would come back to bite me this hard, this would/could have put my final around 1.027M back then, but I didn't care back then because it was #4 at the time. Now it's the difference from being #13 and being #9 on that one choice to not cash in.

But, I like the pressure now. I remember saying before anyway that if I didn't bump my 1.026M personal best by KO3 then I would not go anyway.

Are you kidding me!?  No fewer than 3 million point games (2 on MAME, 1 on Arcade) in just over 4 months.  Before someone beats me to it, I'll throw a few words of praise out there, normally reserved for Devin Hester:

"Robbie Lakeman, you . . . are . . . ridiculous!"

The clear-and-present dangers to the players at the bottom of the top 12 are:
- Ross (who could seriously hit 1.1 at any second)
- Phil (if he's not in already)
- Ben (fuckin' Falls)
- Jeff Wolfe (who has been beasting it up for months)
- Kyle G. could also push his way back in. But I have no idea what's going on with Kyle.

There's almost no doubt in my mind that one of those five will be in the top 12 by the time KO3 comes, and probably two.

Then there are a few people who either have the game already or could get it, but are out of the running due to distance, etc.:
- Jon McKinnell
- Svavar
- Estel

Beyond that though? I dunno... There are only 4 months to go, and it seems that nobody else is close to 1,015-or-better yet, though Ethan, Corey, and Daniel Dock all seem to have a shot and are gunning for it.

And Allen.
