Congrats on breaking 200k! A little practice on the springs and you'll be doubling this score in no time. Stats for your game are attached below!

What an honor it was to watch this game live. I know Scott is planning a Library entry for this game, so for now please check out the stats I've attached below. Congrats again buddy!

New personal best achieved in the DK Open #6
1/14/15 - Andrew Gardikis - 946,900

Great to see such a huge PB increase Andrew! Hopefully we'll see a 1M score soon! Although I already posted some in-depth stats in your TG submission thread I have attached a summary below.

1/14/15: Donkey Kong Arcade PB 597,200

Congrats sir. I think you've had multiple 500k games recently, soI have to agree with Mitch: a KS is coming very soon. See your stats attached below!

New PB of 904400, achieved in DK Online Open #6.

Great to see another KS from Martin. The death on the Level 17 rivets is one of the worst ways to die (hammer running out as a firefox comes down the ladder in the top right), and it almost happened on 21-6 too! At least by that point you had already PB'd.  Stats below!

Score: 257,600

Australia's next great DK star is on the rise. But jumping fireballs on Level 2 rivets and getting 1/16'd as the last death leave me wondering: will his -like recklessness be an advantage, or will it "Staal" his advancement?! Peruse the stats summary below as you ponder...

So, that wraps up the stats for the recent HSL submissions. As indicated earlier, all these games have been added to their respective lists. There are two other games that happened recently worth noting. Their stats summaries are also attached for those interested.

Dean Saglio - 1,100,200 (Arcade)

Dean passes Dave McCrary for #9 all-time in Arcade scores. His previous best was 1,086,800 set the day before, and before that was 1,079,400 set at the Kong Off 2.

Tim Sczerby - 1,048,100

5 years after his last PB,  the former WR holder throws down a solid 1.048M and shows us he's still in the mix. Interestingly, this puts  , , and  next to each other in the HSL rankings at #15, #16, and #17. Will any of these guys make a run at 1.1? Or the record?

I 'd so many times reading that. Top notch effort everybody!! (Including you Jeremy and Scott)
Huge week (end) for DK

Jeremy deserves all the credit.

I'm just sitting here, admiring the results of his hard work and dedication.

798,600 KS
Platform: Arcade
Video: http://www.twitch.tv/expandedidea/c/5916532
TG Verification: http://www.twitch.tv/expandedidea/c/5916688

I never thought I would get this good.  My goal was always 300k and then I would quit.  Thank you all so much for helping me get to this point!

Side note to the all interested: The score was covered until the end of the game by myself with a piece of cardboard.  I didn't want to know what the score was, so I did that before the game started.  The score is still visible when I enter my initials and during the verification video.  Hope that clears up any questions.  If you have any doubts, watch the TG video.
Thanks everybody

[xelnia]

Congrats Tanner! Your score has been verified and the High Score List has been updated!

I went ahead and tried to reconstruct the scoring of this game, point-by-point, for all 1,048 scoring events. Due the blurry nature of the stream, there were roughly 17 hammer smash scores that were difficult to determine. Despite this, I was only 200 points behind the expected score when Tanner removed the cardboard from his screen. I have been unable to determine where those 200 points are, but I'm hoping it was only the result of transcribing a 300 point smash that was really a blurry 500 point smash, instead of some other more complicated series of transcription errors. Anyway, the resulting table is much too large and boring to try and post here. I have instead attached my results as an Excel 2013 file. Those of you with masochistic tendencies are free to download it and take a look. In the "Score-by-Score" worksheet you'll notice that some hammer smash values are highlighted: these are the 17 best-guess values. Since I was only 200 points off, I felt this was close enough to create a data summary, which is also attached.

Other points for Tanner regarding this submission:

1) This is not the lowest KS score WR. I think Vince has a mid-500k KS score, and Shane Mosher's first KS was 734,000. 
2) If you're looking to submit to TG I recommend re-highlighting so that the full game and cab verification are in one unbroken clip. Continuity is important.

I went ahead and tried to reconstruct the scoring of this game, point-by-point, for all 1,048 scoring events.

I plan to copy and paste the link to Tanner's score verification and forward it to a group of my friends, particularly those who have repeatedly told me, "You realize that you're a very sick man."   

[tilt]

Wow .  That excel file you made for my game is nothing short of amazing.  I had actually thought of doing something similar just for fun, but I am astounded that somebody else took time out of their life to calculate over 1000 score events.  Thank you so much for your dedication to this score board xelnia  .  As for the stream quality, I plan to upgrade to the microsoft lifecam studio when I begin my 1m quest.  I will also re-highlight my full game in case I ever want to submit it.  Thanks for verifying my score!

  Congratulations, sir. This score has been verified and the High Score List has been updated. You've finally reached your 1.1 goal...by a healthy margin as well. The top 10 all-time scores are now above 1,100,000. This is the new standard. Killscreens and rollovers are now simple rites of passage, proof that players understand the game. To be a truly great DK player, however, requires the next-level skill and dedication that Wes has shown.

I have attached a data summary below, as well as a direct forum link to the INP. See also the Twitch highlight and direct INP link on MARP.

Starting to get the hang of the barrel boards pretty good, just need to work on my spring game and eliminate the stupid deaths. New PB should jump me another 20 spots. New short term goal Level 10 attempts but aiming to crack the top 125 soon.
