Case in point! Excellent job Alec! I think I'm throwing in the towel at this point. Like I said, I doubt I can even match my own score, never mind beating yours.

I'm always impressed at how gracefully you take a loss. I'd like to thank you for hosting these! I've had great fun with them!

Anyway, I just used 3 moves over and over, for the most part. I had one move for the approach, one for pushing them back, and one for when they were down. Interestingly, I noticed the AI actually learned my patterns. Since I'd always do the same move on any approach, it eventually started to sidestep and attack while I was finishing my animation.

Not a problem sir! It's always good to hear that people are enjoying these competitions. It's all good fun. I'm just trying to give the Dreamcast most of the features that most modern consoles have such as achievements, leader boards, and gamer profiles. It gives people more incentive to play their Dreamcast, which is always a good thing!

I have pretty much the exact same strategy. I use the "spin kick" repeatedly, hit enemies with the rod when they're down, and use a regular kick to hit them out of the ring when they're close to the edge.

Even then, that was tough! It took plenty of swearing and sweating to get that time! After I got that time, I was so pissed off and hyper that I went out and jogged for an hour.

how long is left on this one? I have to get it done tonight I think, the wife will just have to wait for her dinner lol

The competition ends tomorrow.

I tried this one last night for about 3 hours and it started driving me insane, not to mention it aggravated my old Sega injury lol

the best I got was just under 2.30 but in my rage I didn't save the video capture file I was recording.... hey ho lol probably for the best, I hate playing games like Soul Calibur when I'm trying to achieve something, its ridiculously hard when you have a target you just never reach it!

Ah, that stinks. You should have taken a screenshot as a backup in case something went wrong with the capture. Little late for that now but next time...

yeah nevermind, I should've attempted it sooner, PITA!!
