You just keep on going, huh!?Cut said:I think, it's important to say something.
@MandM: I never said that you are cheater, sfn said, that I said that. I said that time, that was standing at cheater's niveau for me, I meaned, that I did like you that time, like cheaters, but this is over. By the way, you are allowed to say, that I'm using mostwanteds trick, because I know better, because I don't use mostwanteds Trick. I said how my Extended Shoe-Combo is working, if you can't do it, you are just bad in playing the LS, but I'm too, cause this was just great luck. This Combo promises 43080, and for the rest 20 points, you have to ask me for them, then we can make a deal.
Now, eat this and beat this!
Secondly, you enter this forum to tell us that Xenon and I are not worthy of our positions in the HoF. You made up some rules, which all of a sudden made DTUCC and other German players top the list.
As for LS, well, I was inclined to believe your score in the beginning. Even though it was very unusual for a player with a score less than 800k points to make such an improvement, it could happen. And even though one very rarely is lucky in R3, it could happen. And it could happen that you just get ten shoe hits and a red gem, and get the Matuvu and enter the secret room successfully and on time. However unlikely your luck seemed to be, it could happen, and I could have believed you. But where you blew it, was when you subsequently claimed it was a piece of cake to get the maximum score in BOM, and you could get 43.700 points in LS and whatever you said at the time. Such improvements could only happen by using Mostwanted's method.
However, since I could believe your score in LS, why not make me sure of it by posting a screenshot of your score in LS? That way you can remove all doubt.
I do agree with most of this, but I think creativity is a valued factor too. Just happens that quite a few players nowadays can't show off their creativity in the game because past players have already done so, so it's kind of invalid. But in shadow, it's quite an important strand, I think.The quality of a player has nothing to do with the combos he devised. Some of us didn't have a real chance to add to the progress of the game because most things were already known when we started playing at the top level. That doesn't make us better or lesser players, however. The one and only criterion for the quality of a honest player is the HoF and everyone who says differently is just wrong in my opinion.
sfn42 said:Your score is progressing nicely. You have no glaring holes in any levels now but you could try to improve HH. Getting a score of about 65000-70000 there is not very difficult and it's always a fun level to play.
Xenon said:I would suggest playing TDOTK as it's probably easier than HH... both are immensely fun to play though. In TDOTK if you learn the green gem combo in part 7 and the green gem combo in part 8 (which are both fairly easy combos that yield huge amounts of points), you'd be in for a nice level score. The remaining combos in TDOTK are simple and quite invaluable for points, so you shouldn't have too much trouble there. Good luck whatever you decide to do.![]()
I used to think the same but I changed my mind. Just imagine there was no Jona. Who would have created most of the major combos? Or if there was no MandM. Who would have found ways to get past 850000? It could have been everyone, you, me, Haruka, Hunch or god-knows-who. Jona and MandM both had the right timing. Jona was the very first one to play the game very seriously and MandM was the first one to take the game to a new level. But that doesn't mean they are the only ones capable of these feats. Many are, all the others just didn't have a chance for various reasons, that doesn't make them lesser players.Xenon said:I do agree with most of this, but I think creativity is a valued factor too.

I hope I haven't given any wrong impression about creativity and lesser players. My only objection was, that Cut reversed everything and stated that it was better to play combos made by others than to create one's own combos. And with that ad hoc rule he entered this forum and claimed Xenon and I weren't worthy of our positions in the HoF. He doesn't really win any friends by claiming that.sfn42 said:I used to think the same but I changed my mind. Just imagine there was no Jona. Who would have created most of the major combos?

MandM81 said:I was probably a little bit too fast about removing all doubt. If he used Mostwanted's method, the screenshot will actually prove very little.
MandM81 said:The game plays differently on various platforms. The Lums bug is of course one of those things. Another example is the Heckler in HH part 2 room 1. Some can take it in combo for 2.500 points, while some can't. Jona could do it on one computer and not on another one. I'm sure the Matuvus in combo are different too, some are easier on some platforms, some are more difficult. The Razoff glitch in BOM part 5 works out differently as well. My favourite complaint is that the Hoodblaster in BOM part 3 only survives once every hour, making this part horribly hard for me. I don't know how to single out all those differences and make a fair game for all.

I completely agree with your remark on how to judge players, namely by looking at HoF. But without players with creativity and ideas, the game would have been dead long ago, wouldn't it?
You make a good point. But think of it like this: player A finishes with 500k and starts writing solutions to the levels, and player B joins lacking in any creativity, follows the solution player A provided and finishes with a similar score (as at 500k it's pretty easy)... who would you consider the better player? It's important to point out that Cut's list was personal and he chose the 'best' players (ie not necessarily ones with the highest scores).I used to think the same but I changed my mind.

I wouldn't worry about it. It's luck for those who can get additional points, and luck plays a big part in scoring in this game - just think about the Razoff glitch. Besides, PC players have the advantage when playing part 3 TBOM, right?i agree with this, except for everything i said already. i don't feel like being 200 points ahead of PC players in HH. i don't feel like being ahead of PC players in DOTK. and i don't feel like being 300 points behind in FC. the HoF says a lot, but not everything.
It's getting annoying now... I wonder what's causing it. It's certainly not a manual removal.by the way, Xenon's score again disappered from the HoF...
