Title: Lakeman pushes the DK WR to 1,269,500
Post by: xelnia on September 16, 2020, 06:24:55 pm

After 5 years, my 538 prediction (https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/the-last-kings-of-donkey-kong-high-score/) has finally been beaten!

Robbie has pushed DK to new heights once again, beating his WR of 1,260,700 by 8,800 (Kappa) and finishing with 1,269,500. This game set a new record for highest level average (64,623.53) as well as the fastest to 1M on last life (17-5 @ 6600 Bonus) and 1.2M on last life (20-6 @ 5100 Bonus). Robbie also achieved a barrel average PB of 13,370.59, which ranks 2nd all-time.

I'm sure a highlight is coming soon, but for now here's the past broadcast: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/743077165

Not to take away from this game...but those who were around for Robbie's game probably knew that serphy was going large at the same time. Serphy's game ended ~29 minutes and 13 seconds after Robbie's with a score of 1,255,300...and new record for level average at 64,864.71...
