Thanks Vincent

I thought I had it at the end of lv20 with only 50600 to go, but Kong had other plans. That monkey is going to fall !!!

Corey: wtf? You did 860k, then 960k? That's awesome! But why did you kill screen at 960k? Did you start running board halfway through the game? To pull 860k and 960k back to back, only pros can do that!

Vincent, Thanks for your kind words. Yeah, almost had back to back killscreens. That would have been nice. I started the game just running boards until level 5. Just to warp and get playing. But then I had a stupid spring death on level 5 and was going to restart. I decided that since I had not played bottom hammer in a while since I was practicing with running boards in prep for the tournament that I would just practice with that game before I got a good one going. That was my mentality through most of the game. I lost my third man on level 12. So I kept playing with my last man all the way to the killscreen with double hammer. So I used top hammer only from levels 1 - 4 and then again from level 18 through 21 I think. Once I got to level 18 or so and realized that I was about 20K or so behind pace and that I would not get a million I decided just to run boards and make the best out of it, increasing both my personal best and my qualifying score for the tournament. And it worked! So, I am hoping that my 964,500 score will secure me a place in the top 8 overall in these three tournaments.

Wow... I didn't except Dean to kill screen that low, honestly. haha. Good job Dean, I wish I could've watched the game, good job! Pretty much the same kind of score that you got at the Kong Off 2. What kind of strategy were you using to get that score? Probably a safe bottom hammer without any grouping (or very small grouping/leeching)?

Thanks Vincent! Great observation -- yes, I was using the same "tournament strategy" that I used at the KO2. I played the first 8 Levels pretty aggressively with 2 hammers (but not max pressing), then, beginning on Level 9 I switched to top hammer only, throwing in minimal grouping mostly just to try to set up a better top hammer. I had one extra guy to cash in at the end (at the KO2 I had two extra guys to cash in).

I probably won't have time to play again except maybe just before the contest ends although it's cool to see that it's been extended. Are you or Jeff playing at all? How about Hank? Did Ross play last night?

It's a bummer, I watched some other people streaming last night but I've been having trouble with the chat so I don't think I ever showed up on anyone's viewer list. Ah well. Good luck everyone!

D'oh! My last name is misspelled on the leaderboard. It's Purkett, not Perkett

I just sent another score in, 101,300. At least I'm cracking 100K again now that I'm on a real keyboard

My wild card score. 000000.

Is that with or without a million point rollover?

konghusker · « **Reply #39 on:** June 23, 2013, 01:51:40 pm »

Wow! Big congrats to Phil. Great game, and great score.

Xermon54 · « **Reply #40 on:** June 23, 2013, 03:28:01 pm »

Dean: Yeah, it seems to be an effective strategy! Congrats ;-).

Phil: Oh my god! That's so awesome mate! Not only you did 1m+, but you score a freaking high 1.05m, which will assure you to automatically participate as one of the top 12 participants at the Kong Off 3! Now there's going to be 3 canadians at the kong off 3! Yer buddy!

Man, how can people do these amazing games in a tournament, that amazes me!

What was your game like, Phil? What pace were you in the beginning/ending, where did you lose your men/etc? I'm very happy for you ;-).

ChrisP · « **Reply #41 on:** June 23, 2013, 03:42:41 pm »

I knew for sure that Phil was gonna lay down the hammer in one of these!

Well, only if it gets "officially verified" by The Man!

Remember, it's top 12 Twin Galaxies, and we don't even know if MAME is included. Jourdan has yet to answer this question, and I've asked twice now...

Trust me, MAME will be included. Look what happened at the last kong off 2: The two ONLY mame players won 1st and 2nd. MAME has proven to create champion, and I will highly recommend Jourdan/Richie to include mame also for ko3, otherwise I'll be extremely pissed.

ChrisP · « **Reply #43 on:** June 23, 2013, 04:12:39 pm »

I agree, but if TG doesn't get REAL clear on this, and soon, people on all sides are gonna be mad. #10-#12 (or whatever) arcade will be mad, MAME players who beat the top 12 arcade will be mad, etc.

Ben, for example, will not be able to qualify if they don't accept MAME. He doesn't have a machine. Robbie, Corey, etc. etc. Lots of MAME people have a shot at the top 12 between now and November. And Phil just got in!

Like I said in another thread, Jourdan had me look over the Kong Off 3 announcement and I'm not signing off on that until I get definite answers. And if he and Richie say "arcade only," I am gonna tell them exactly what kind of shitstorm is going to blow up if they do! They're not as close to the DK community as we are and don't realize some of the politics. I don't want those two to get pitchforked.

Haha, Donkey Kong politics. F'kn 'ell!

Cray Cray isnt it Chris. The scores are just insane. I love when it says I'm playing at 1.08 pace but i just cannot get deep into the game (but then i have enough trouble with that JRTFBDN)

Still was 1.08 "pace" even remotely done even 10 years ago? Man so much has changed. It's nuts to say "Dean slowed down and played it 'safe' when and ONLY got 1.086" That is sick. I think he said he did Top Hammer only after Lvl 8 with just some semi-serious grouping at the top.

I did notice that grouping skills are necessary for big games. Jeff W, Dean, Ross and Dave are all doing well at it. I made a few changes and got a 13,900 Lvl 6 Barrel Stage with a really weak Bottom Hammer so WOW. Average 12,500 a barrel stage and BOOM your close to that 1.1m all day.

Mind boggling while I still try for a KS....

DK High Score	1,064,500	(L22-1)
DK Level 1-1	13,400
DK No Hammer	535,300	(L15-2)
