Picking this game up again having played it as a kid back when it was first out, tournament % doesn't really interest me and 10 goals isn't something I'm interested in grinding, so if anyone wants to do something different try this - it's an extension of 10 goals, you also have to win 10 fights.
Timing starts at the same point as 10 goals on selection of the teams, and ends either when the tenth goal is scored or you land the final punch in the tenth fight you win, whichever is later.
I'm posting runs to Twitch (day 1 - , day 2 - ), I'm going to try to bring this down to sub-9 having got 9:12 earlier today, first run of the second video. I'm guessing it will be possible to complete the run within the first period, the 9:12 I mention above starts the last fight with over 12 minutes left in the second period, assuming the opponent AI doesn't unnecessarily screw you over I'm going to say it can be done.
OK, updating on progress, sub-8 has been done - very nearly a single period clear, just got somewhat screwed over trying to get the last fight, I had the setup but a team mate kept interfering. which cost 20 seconds straight away, then had four spells where there's at least 2 minutes of in game time with nothing happening, which if we can cut those down to save around maybe as much at 10 seconds each time, then I think sub-7 should be just about theoretically possible
Yep, sub-7 can clearly be done - just done a run which finishes within the first period in 7:22, which includes the huge mistake of conceding a goal costing about 15 seconds, and then two separate instances where I think a fight is being started but I just knock the other player down and inadvertantly shoot, so with a clean run a 6:xx should be easily possible. Obvious thing I just realised today is that you'd want to finish the run with a goal to skip the final animation which you'd have to watch if you finish on a fight, so probably optimal play is to take the immediate free goal the game gives you, then try to chain two fights together with a goal to follow up, alternating fight-goal from there but taking fights if they obviously occur
Run:
Leaderboard added, cool - now extremely certain that sub-7 is possible, just did a 7:05 offline (accidentally, press start stream in future you idiot)
