So, my good friend twitch.tv/FrostedPears done some digging around the coding of this game. Heres what he found!!

The coin changes position every 11 frames, it follows the following pattern:

                  A52B61C72D83
                   E941A52B61C*

What does this mean? Well, there are 16 doors in the bonus stage. From Left to right:

     0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F

So if the coin was in door 7, 11 frame later it would be in door 2. 60 frames per second, so do the maths... I have found, through 2 hours trying tonight, that directly after a reset, count 6, and on 6 start the game, and 4 times out of 10 the coin will be in the centre, door 8, exactly where you want it. In 1325 attempts i got the coin 9 times, tonight alone i have got it 4 times .. and when im off, its only by 0.18 seconds, or 11 frames. So this 6 second buffer, + consistency should improve the coin chances. Its not guaranteed, but its more than we previously knew. For me, i aim to hit the last door / wall in a stage as below: Stage 1: 15 seconds Stage 2: 35 seconds Stage 3: 1.10 Stage 4: 1.35/36.. Pause buffer as fast as possible on stage 2,3,4 and bonus, and with a bit of luck, you'll get the coin more than ever. Again, massive thanks to @FrostedPear on twitch. Follow him, hes a genius.

I feel there is a way, but i dont know how. A good friend and runner @Proffesorretro had a great to save state before the bonus and then go into the next stage. The coin consistenly spawned erd door from right for me. So its locked into a certain door based on actions you take prior i feel, not randomly assigned. We just need to find out if its based on time or total movements. All i know is for me it has around a 1% spawn rate, and in 825 runs to get my pb i got it first door about 9 or 10 times.. its soul destroying..

Hey there,

Just wondering if Cool Spot on the (NES) could be added to the site?

Kind Regards, Deadguy

Hey All, Set up a new Kung Fu discord if anyone is interested?

100% agree, damageless is going to be a big thing this year i feel thanks to slack, so why not

Hero! Thank you sir

Hi All, just wondering if there is an update on Kung Fu for the NES?

Im not sure if im the one for the job of mod, but im sure others that are active at the top of the leaderboard might be up for it.

@starsmiley done, thank you

Hello! I submitted Kung Fu NES runs, and they are still awaiting verification. I reached out to both Mods, and one replied today saying hes walked away from the site, and that the other Mod has health issues. Both unfortunate. But now it seems that new mods will be needed for Kung Fu on the NES

Hi!

Is it ok to just start the timer, and end once the character disappears down the hole? I use the keyboard for splits so may miss time splitting the 3 rounds

Morning guys,

Just checking if the mods are still active for this leaderboard?

Kind Regards,

Deadguy

Hi, just wondering the same. Can i start a timer on phone amd submit it, and give my time with the submission?

Hi all,

Probably a dumb question, so apologies. My pc crapped itself, so im stuck with the ps4 for now. That means i wont have a visible timer on the screen, as i will be just going straight through Twitch. Does there need to be a visible timer for this? If so i cam just practice until my new pc is built Thanks in advance! Deadguy

Thanks a million hirexen!!

Appreciate that 5pectre, thank you!!

Thanks man, appreciate that. Its the nes mini and nes controller so hopefully its ok. One question is the minus time do you set your timer to so as not to affect the start of the game, and when do you start the timer?

Is that 50% of the bosses life? Thats good to know

Hey All!

New to the community here. So i know emulators are allowed for runs, but i just want to be sure, can you run Kung Fu if you added it to the NES mini with hatchi? I pressume so, irs the same thing, but runs at 60fps.

Thanks in advance

Justin

Thanks so much. Totally appreciated!!

Hey All,

Do NES mini and Nes emulator runs count? Decided this as my first speedrun project, so gonna start grind.

Also, im only stsrting my setup, so need to upgrade to windows 10, so do you need records of practice runs and stuff?

Nice to meet you all anyway dudes and dudettes!
