Kongrats to Dean Saglio on his 1,186,700 MAME World Record!!!

[marinomitch13]

Wow! I did not realize that you had a level as low as 54,400! I can't remember what actually took place on that level too make it so low... was that the one where you had a screwing on the Conveyor Stage? I know you had a later stage where you had a screwing of about 500 points on the Elevators -that was kinda unusual in itself.

I love how Dean refers to a 54,400 point level (which would have me quietly and smugly doing the Wiebe pose, and which is more points than I will ever get in any level in any run ever) as "totally catastrophic."

[Bliss1083]

Yeah most anyone else would brag about the 54,400 level. Lol. It's actually less grouping with the barrel boards at the top and like going straight from the bottom hammer to the top hammer with just a few 300 jumps. I don't see dean doing that but I see maybe having a bad rivet/pie being the main factor.

My pace is usually catastrophic these days

This is pretty much expected...

every long game has a level or 2 where you just get completely hosed and score 5K less than what you think you can average.

Still 61K is a crazy level average especially since it was a toned down game.

The L10-1 barrels (9900 points) was the lowest score of all L05+ barrel boards, and 1 of only 3 that dipped below 11K.  The L10-2 conveyors (6100) and L10-6 rivets (6000) were both 2K less than the average (8100) for those stages.

It's comforting to the rest of us that, for a brief period of 10-12 minutes, Dean was a poser.

Yeah Stella I Seen your analysis. I believe you did it anyways that showed all the levels. I believe that. I tallied up the worst boards pie, elevator, rivet, and took his 9900 barrel board for all three boards and his level was still at 47k or so. Which is pretty awesome considering that would be your worst possible level and mind you I just took the worst board of the barrel stage and not the three worst which were I'm sure in the 10k area. He was still at his worst pace over 900k for kill screen average. With 100k start. If you tallied my worst levels I'd be around 30k or so probably. Lol.

3h15? Damn, that's 17 minutes longer than my PB. I wonder if doing a 3h30 run is possible on 1.2m+ pace (on a 100k pace, it's probably possible to get a 4h30 game long by wasting time on every boards, but that's another story! ;-)).

[Zetherman]

wow amazing score !

Done.  Still a poser, though . . . by choice.

You can't be a poser by choice. A poser is born a poser, and will die a poser. It's in your DNA, you have it or you don't!  .

I have special DNA. I'm like Meridith Brooks I can be all kinds of things. Or better yet my mom said I could be anything i wanted to be! Poser or Champion or BOTH!
