So Andrew becomes only the second person to see the RBS on Hard level with a score of 3,246,000. I would recommend people to check the replay out. He did a fantastic job, and got out of more than a few jams. Very entertaining to watch. So congrats to Andrew Barrow the legend!

Glad I saw it live - knowing how close he was with only a few lives remaining, I was probably more anxious than he was!

Great accomplishment on such a tough game...Barra the beast!

I caught much of it live, luckily. Barra is a Master, end of discussion. I've come to appreciate DK3 A LOT more, but I've got to focus on DK KS first. Great game Andrew.

Congrats Barra mate! It's great that we're finally at a point where someone is just about half as good as Riley at DK3.

In all seriousness, fantastic job sir. You've put another notch in your belt as a great gamer, you've helped boost interest in a not-terrible game, and in a roundabout way shown just how amazing Riley is at DK3.

Thanks mates for the love, and Jry for verifying <3

As I said, it was one of the toughest things to grind for. Simply grueling.
Really hoping this grind inspires more people to take up the challenge. The game is incredibly fun, but also incredibly difficult. There isn't many other games requiring this level of multi-tasking.

I tracked each life and came up with a few stats for fun:

Deaths per board type:

Grey: 25/37 = 68%
Blue: 9/37 = 24%
Gold: 3/37 = 8%

5-man score was 676,200
28 extras were banked at 990k, excluding the man in play
Board 82 was the first time the average fell below the required for the RBS
The second to last man was my 2nd biggest, which I sac'd on stage 158 for the super spray. It looked like I was going to fall short but managed 207k on this guy. Biggest was 220k (9th life)
