It's been nearly a month and my run still hasn't been verified. I'm sorry to use the forums for this, but I'm suspended from Twitter (long story) so I don't know how else to get the mods' attention. And if the issue is that the mods so rarely come here, then we need more or new mods.
Hey Krendall,
I tried sending a message on twitch as well as sending a Steam friend invite since, as you stated, your Twitter profile was busted. We just had a couple of questions before verifying the run. Didn't really wanna ask in the public forum here but I guess it doesn't really matter.
Your strat was pretty cool. The two things were, any idea how many attempts you had on it? Just a question cuz you made such a good improvement without really any streamed attempts of it. The other thing would be that I don't think anyone kicked out of a pin the whole time. What was your strat in making sure their health was low enough each time? These are just some standard questions that would be asked of a random run coming up. Let us know and we can get moving on verifying the run.
I think I accepted the friend request on Steam, but I haven't been there that much lately. I kinda fluctuate between the kind of games I play. Sometimes I'm on a big retro emulator kick, sometimes it's games from Steam, and sometimes it's non-Steam PC games.
As far as timed runs, it was my second. I didn't stream/record my first one, I just did it to get base times. I had done an unofficial run for Retro Uprising where I forgot what exactly my strategy was for the first three matches, and even that ended being around 30 mins. So I guess, overall, it was my third attempt.
As for the kick-outs, pay attention to how many breaths the opponent makes when he's picked up. The magic number you're looking for is three. After that, one big move will keep him down during the first loop, and two moves after that. I do suffer a kick-out on Star Man 2, I believe.
I don't mind these kinds of questions in public, BTW. I'd check here after a new run a lot more often than Steam or Twitch.
Sweet dude. Like I said, don't mind the questions, there just has been a lot of junk that people submit sometimes lately, and its better to be safe than sorry. Grats on the run!
