WFLI has taken his legendary 1-1 grind and applied it to possibly the grindiest of the DK games: D2K! With a score of 507,900 set on MAME, he is the new world record holder, and the first known player to score over 500k! His game ended on 11-6 (a spring board), and was on pace to score around 640,000 if he had made it to the end.
Interestingly, John McCurdy's previous WR game scored at almost exactly the same rate: John finished 10-5 with 447,700 and J. P. finished 10-5 with 448,400...only 700 points apart. For comparison, Ben Falls' 398k arcade record ends on 10-2...his score after 10-1 was 390,900. John's score at that point was 425,100 and J. P.'s was 428,400. This means the first D2K killscreen will probably be right around the "average" score
I predicted a few years ago.
For those interested, you can see a Twitch playback of the INP

D2K HSL has been updated with all the relevant information, and a stats summary can be found below.
Congrats, J.P.! Let's see if John strikes back!
Edit: J.P.'s INP has been attached to this post.
