    Ok, it is the TOP 10 ! :-o

    One bad week for anyone will get you knocked-out!

    This is where I predict the low score. So lets review last week.

    Astroblast. i predicted the low score would be 25K.

    The low score was...

    32,950 - Scrabbler15

    30,870 - DTKofoed

    26,975 - classicgamer_27330

    Wow, I must say I was VERY close. My best prediction yet.

     

    The high scores were:

    1,000,000 - Jifremok

    408,760 - Gorfy

    164,650 - JacobZu7zu7

    Nice scores! Like I said, endurance was the key to first. How long did that take? 2-3 hours?

     

    Now onward to the TOP 10!

    Laser Gates:

    This game could have been good with a little more game play variety. But still it is a challenge and sometimes luck is involved when blasting homing missiles.

    Most people with a joystick will not have trouble breaking 30K. On a keyboard 30K is a good score and 40K is tough. So, I predict a low score of 42K will be needed to pass.

    Most of us have the game and most of us have a joystick. 42K might seem high but by Sunday, plus this is the Top 10, we all should be much better at this game.

    As for high score... well 80K looks to be possible and mighty impressive.

    My first submitted score:

    Vocelli: 22762

     

    Good Luck to the Top 10 !

    Hey, it is a new week. Which means a new game for the Knockout Tourney!

    I assume the final will be in June. Wow!

    But first...

    Fantastic Voyage: Everyone competed and everyone did well. But my prediction was off slighlty. I predicted 210K as the lowest so if these players would have saved one more patient then they would have been saved as well. Nice to see everyone but in a good score!

    05+ - 197,286 - DT Kofoed 10th

    04+ - 188,286 - classicgamer_27330 11th

    03+ - 182,650 - LarcenTyler 12th

     

    These players...

    15+ - 397,144 - toymailman 1st

    14+ - 395,960 - oyamafamily 2nd

    13+ - 362,378 - Gorfy 3rd

    ...did GREAT! We seem to see the same names near the top everyweek BUT... one bad game and anyone can be Knocked-out! Everyone has one bad game on the list, RIGHT?

    Now onward:

    Astroblast

    I use to play this game with a joystick until I read that you can use paddles! Wow, this changed my game. I think I am pretty good at this game but not great. Someone out there will be using a keyboard, not good. They will have trouble.But I predict anyone who uses paddles will break 40K easily. Once over 40K the game gets a lot faster and at 50K WOW!

    My low score prediction will be 25K. I know that is low but with a keyboard this game is tough.

    Someone will, no doubt, will break 100K and maybe 200K. Once you can keep up after 50K then the endurance effect kicks in. How long can you last?

    Good Luck with this game. Paddles are the key to victory.

    Ok. It looks like everything could be very interesting from this point onward!

    This is were I predict the low score of the week. But first, we look back at Kung-Fu Master. (a game I finally got good at)

    Other than the ZERO score the scores were much higher than I thought. The bottom 3 scores were:

    86,840 - Scrabbler15

    82,420 - LarcenTyler

    68,560 - classicgamer_27330

    I predicted a low score of 52K. That low score is pretty good and the scores just above are 'practice' worthy. Gotta practice to get those scores.

    Speaking of practice:

     

    329,280 - Gorfy 1st

    303,420 - toymailman 2nd

    214,940 - Jifremok 3rd

    WOW! This just proves that practice is needed to have scores think this!

     

    This weeks game Fantastic Voyage is another game you need to practice to get get good!

    So I will predict a nice robust score of 210,000 as the lowest score. That might be high but if everyone puts the time in we should see a low score that is hard to beat!

    Should be very fun this week! Time to start to worry when Sunday approaches!

    Oh, I have no score yet but have broken 200,000K as a kid but not much higher.

    Good Luck!

    Of Note:

    It makes more sense to have the early rounds shorter and the final rounds longer.

    Just like in sports. Most often the first round of the playoffs are shorter to get rid of the crappy teams. I know baseball does this and I think basketball and maybe hockey too.

    Then the later rounds are longer because the match-ups are more intense.

    So if we do knock-out again, and I hope we do, then the first 5-9 rounds should be shorter to rid the tourney of uncommited players. Just a suggestion.

    Yeah for me!

    The great thing about the knockout Tourney is that it brings out the best in me. Plus, I can really get into games that I truely had no intentions of playing more than 3-4 times.

    So after about 100 tries.

    Vocelli: 78680 Personal Best by far! I think I still have some room to grow!

    This score makes my Friday even better.

    Now time to find out which games I am missing in my collection to complete the top 100!

  24. Posted · Edited by Vocelli

    Ok Players we are getting slightly closer. 13 players left.

    This is where I predict the low score of the week. But first...

    Last weeks' prediction was slightly off. I said that 26K would be the low score and we could maybe could see a score of 15K from someone.

    Well this is how the bottom 5 looked:

     

    06+ - 25,160 - DT Kofoed 10th

    05+ - 24,300 - Fallout_002 11th

    04+ - 23,320 - classicgamer_27330 12th

    03+ - 21,530 - LarcenTyler 13th

    02+ - 10,450 - Cortat G 14th

     

    I was 5K off. Cortat G dodn't have a lot of time to spend on the game so his score was the low score I thought could happen. But 5k lower than predicted. Players needed to spend some time with this game to get good and it showed. The 3 top scores were once again impressive:

    15+ - 56,760 - Gorfy 1st

    14+ - 54,980 - oyamafamily 2nd

    13+ - 50,380 - Jifremok 3rd

    Did anyone make it to the end of level 2? Great job if you did.

     

    If you have never played this weeks game, it will also take some time to get a good score.

    Kung-Fu Master

    Personally I hate fighting games. From Double Dragon to Motal Kombat to Super Smash. I hate them all.

    So I will predict that my score will be close to the bottom this week. This is one game I cannot play well.

    So, just like the last two weeks, practice is needed.

    The low score will be 52K with the possibility of someone getting a nice low score of 28K.

    I will get around 52K and someone else without much time to practice will get 28K.

    Good Luck. The top 10 is approaching fast.

    Vocelli, after playing 20 times: 26960
