fakecortex Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 @bubufubu How do you handle those big bugs that explode when you kill them? They get me A LOT ? Do you try to avoid them or are you really good at dodging their stingers? I'd imagine you have to have a pretty tight pattern down to roll the score. PS I don't know how I scored so well yesterday. Today's session was a frustrating mess. I guess I should be happy with my pb... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't very happy with my first score, but I hadn't played the game in years so I was rusty. I'm just about to broadcast some more score attempts. You're more than welcome to come watch. Maybe you can pick up a few tips. Cheers. https://www.twitch.tv/bubufubu Edited August 8, 2020 by bubufubu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought you had to spray DK all the way to the top in order to complete the level. This changes everything. I die so often jumping and shooting at him because I want to finish the level, but now I can try focusing on all the bugs instead and just keeping him at bay. This is insane. Thanks!

Unfortunately, my ISP or modem/router is giving me garbage upload speeds so the casts were rife with frame loss. I tried to tough it out but it continued to get worse and worse. This put the kibosh on casting for now. Sorry for those who tuned in. Just bad luck, I suppose. @fakecortex Glad you were able to learn something. I wasn't sure anyone would be able to get steady enough video to pick up on my strategies. I was expecting to have much better attempts but the upload speed and being on hold for my ISP kept taking away my focus. Might try again later tonight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fakecortex Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Haven't been able to break 200k since, but I am getting better at dodging the exploding bees and not rushing higher stages. Gotta take a break when it gets frustrating. Nice increase @bubufubu! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll probably give it another go or two later today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fakecortex Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 I put together a youtube playlist of selected tracks from this season! Some music was either too repetitive or long to include, but what's there should make for a nice mix to have on in the background during work or when playing a game without music (Golf?!). Hope ya enjoy! Great season everyone! https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLLg7Ta2Ep96Pipd5skLzcXnp-kM_LcZ4a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
