this IS a poor recording

I was amazed for the score and downloaded the inp file only to discover that hisa-chan has simply leeched like crazy in level 6 He (or she) make point continuosly by killing monster gaining life end losing it by time. I call this Life and Point leeching, and in KOD is quite heavy. I don't know is going to disqualif that score, but please don't call it a "great recording".

[as usual, sorry for my bad english]

Sorry GBY, but i it IS a great recording!

I understand your point about the "leeching" (on level 4 not level 6) but i don4t call it leeching.. I agree that the recording is boring to watch when he "leech", but what he really does is building up his level to max on his character GBY... and if you watch carefully you4ll see that the enemies becomes harder and harder.. it is not easy to do what he did..(I have tried :) I don4t think it is wrong to do like Hisa Chan on "kod" because he still finish the game..

What he does is not wrong.. in my opinion (it would have been different if he didn4t finish the game)

I also don4t think you can stay and "leech" forever on that stage.. (maybe Hisa can tell us that..)

What he really does is "squeezing" out a lot of points of the game, and then finish it! I see nothing wrong with that..

The recording is "poor" because of point leeching? I find this hilarious coming from somebody who does a bit of leeching on every single one of his Contra uploads....

2 answers, first one to QRS...

Well, its only a matter of opinion of course, anyway i don't knows if you are good at Kod, but the game at higher player level is easier, not harder. I respect your opinion, this is mine : The level 6 trick (6 not 4) can't be repeated forever, but permit to gain 3 million point. Finish the game without the trick gave only around 2.1 / 2.5 million. For me it's too much, i doesn't have problem to beat hisa-chan score, simply i like play for fun, not for points.

As say before, i respect you opinion, but i don't respect BBH..... Leeching on contra? in contra time exist, but isn't displayed, if run out some sort of rotating disc appear and try to kill the character. In boss of level 2 is possible heavy leeching, if i leech on that level i can easily beat actual contra hiscore (1.9m), but as said before, i play only for fun, not for boring leeching for hours.

I agree Gby. That is worthless record.

Easy-Endless leeching is very boring and pain, but that is not easy for me and not endless for me.

beat me with no problem? I think so.Very nice.

you should beat "POOR RECORDING". It need mere 350 seconds leeching.

Hello all

For me, I accept leeching only if the game is finish. For that, I propose for the games with ending or with multiple loop (like gradius series or ghosts'n goblins) to make ranking by distance then by score. It's often a risk to make leeching and someone who finish a game after time leeching is always a great player. Also, don't forget that : MARP is a score web site, not a fun web site, even if all players here prefer fun playing than leeching (boring ?) playing.
