Rivalries in Donkey Kong
« on: May 01, 2013, 08:17:49 pm »
If you think about it, there has been a few rivalries that have come up from time to time in this grand game.  Three ones come to mind right away.

Steve Wiebe Vs. Billy Mitchell:  This obviously is probably the most famous rivalry of all time due to the documentary.

Hank Chien Vs.  Vincent LeMay:  This one is more in fun, but it's still a hoot to see the playful spar of word's, and pictures.

Brian Allen Vs. Allen Staal:  Although they are nowhere near the greats of this game, this pictures, and the sparring over the past year has been completely awesome on so many levels.

So those are the ones I know of, off the top of my head.  Do any fellow forum members know of some other Donkey Kong rivalries?

Looks like there may be a potential 3-way rivalry starting over the DKjr wr!  ;)

Yes.  We must all remember that Brian is legally retarded, and that every time his name is omitted from a list he cries himself to sleep at night.

Wtf Mitch... you still forgot to mention one of the most important dk jr player... sometime I think that you don't want to include his name because you don't want to give him any credits of his accomplishments. You know as much as I do that you didn't mention his name on purpose, but we all know that he is a great dk jr. player, as well as a great Donkey Kong player.

Next time, don't forget to include Hank in your list.

2:World Record of the most Check Man games played - 6 (tied with Hank Chien)

You also forgot Billy Mitchell.  Shame on you!  He got a 1.27 million game WITHOUT Dean's hideout trick.

By the way.  In case anyone didn't know, it was Brian Allen who originally started calling it Dean's Move.

Speaking of which I forgot to mention the guy I named in the last sentence.  Dean Saglio!   If he ever killscreens the game he'll be vary close to the record, if not have the record.

Agreed. Both Billy and Dean should be considered genuine competition on this one, as both have shown they can play at a very high level of pressing (though, Billy's score is kinda suspect). While we're at it, we might as well throw Steve Wiebe in here as well.

OK, agreed on that one too.  Here is my rule of thumb.  If you are not within 200,000 points of the record, you really have no reason to be upset if your name is not mentioned.  Want your name mentioned, than at least get a 1.15 million score.

Thanks  George.

Ignoring  Ross's post.
