Title: Has anyone died 4 times on the same board? And what board was it?
Post by: homerwannabee on June 14, 2013, 05:50:41 pm

OK, today that happened to me.  Well my luck, and playing ability was simply lousy, but still it was incredible that this happened to me on Level 3-1.  In three different deaths Donkey Kong decides to simply throw a barrel at me while I am climbing the 3rd ladder.  I tried to duck it, but still do not have a great understanding of how the wild barrels react.  Well after that my day was ruined playing any Donkey Kong game.  It completely destroyed my confidence on the game for today.  So how about you?  Have any 4 death boards?  I have also died 4 times on Level 4-4 when I was just starting to play the game, and had no idea how to pass that board successfully.

Sometimes I die on 1-1 after I've gotten more than 7000pts (bonus jumpman awarded) and must kill off my other 3 jumpmen to restart; That being said, I've had 4 deaths on 1-1, more times than I can count.

Yeah I've had bad situations before too. The wild barrel phenom on 3 and 4 still drives people crazy. Ben died 3 times in a row on 17-2 I do believe so anything can happen :)

When I have been actually trying, I do not think I've died 4 times on the same board (even since I've started seriously point pressing) since my PB was maybe around 80k (the hardest springs stage). When I was just starting DK, I'm sure I died 4 times all-back-to-back several times on 1-1, 1-2, 2-2, 3-2 and 4-4. However, since then, I've only rarely ever died more than 2 times in a row on a board. If I die twice in a row, I usually just restart anyway.

Ironically, the only moment I died 4 times on the same screen was at 22-1 on my first man kill screen, haha.

But I know Hank once posted on Facebook that he died 4 times in a row on the same barrel screen at like 500k (on a good pace)

I don't ragequit, but a death has a way of opening the floodgates for one or more ragedeaths, so I'm sure this has happened to me, probably several times, I just don't remember any in particular.
