Woooo GG and a shiny new badge! Just don't take the 5-man rec pls thx 
2/8 

I think it's time one of you three really go for the D4 RBS. I've never done any real score/pace analysis for DK3, but some quick dirty math:

-Barra's 2.2M game ends on board 112, 70% of the way to the RBS. 2,202,000 is 70% of 3,145,714.29.
-Riley's 2.4M game ends on board 124, 77.5% of the way to the RBS. 2,407,400 is 77.5% of 3,106,322.58.
-JV's 2.5M game ends on board 125, 78.125% of the way to the RBS. 2,506,400 is 78.125% of 3,208,192.

Average of those three calculations is 3,153,409.62. So it looks like a D4 RBS score will be in about the same range as the other difficulties...maybe a hair lower?

Anyway, gg, and go go go.

Interesting stats. Given the fact I was sacking from about board 22, I'd have thought my points per board would be the highest. Actually maybe it does make sense since JV is shooting all the bugs on the blue board, which is actually worth a lot more than a full timer
My gold board game is currently way too weak for RBS attempts. You're up, JV

I'm absolutely loving this. Great job Jason.  Difficulty four is a true battle.

Thanks guys! I've been enjoying playing this one again, and love how absolutely manic it gets on D4.

Loving the stats Jry - I think a D4 RBS will probably be in the same range as the other difficulties, although I still think it will be slightly lower. Barra's right in that killing all the bugs on the blue boards is worth more points than the full timer - the issue with this, of course, is the increased risk of losing a life, In my game, I did a mix of clearing the blue with full timer, and by killing the bugs, although it wasn't a set strat I was using, it had more to do with how safe it was instantly spraying Kong to the top with the super spray. I think the extra few deaths you're likely to incur on the blue board killing the bugs will probably hurt any chances of reaching the RBS - if RBS is the goal, I feel like clearing those boards with the super spray is still the way to go, if you can.

Of course, this is all a moot point anyway, because gold boards

I was doing so well until 700k, and then lost my way with the next gold board.

I hit a couple of micro PBs before this game (798k, 801k) so was happy to breakthrough especially as it was my first proper credits with arcade controls (played briefly at Kencade and Funspot in 2018)

Thanks!
