Why didn't I put Shock Troopers in the Olympiad? Because it woulda
been a free win for me, that's why. I could take 1st without much
effort, but what's the point? How does that prove anything?
<p>
If you know guys that can play the game "really well", here's an idea:
TELL THEM TO UPLOAD THOSE SCORES TO MARP. Why do we need an Olympiad
to induce challenges? If they can play the game that well, tell them
to record and upload. You'll have to forgive my skepticism though,
because I highly doubt they are at my level. If they can finish the
game on one credit, that's great... but are they getting the maximum
amount of kills through close-range attacks? Do they know the best
route through the game for maximum points? Do they make the most of
stalling in each level to bring more enemies out?
<p>
I'm not very arrogant and confident about too many games, but I can
say this much about Shock Troopers - I have played it a LOT. And I can
find nobody that has analyzed the game to the extent that I have. Yes,
some guy in Japan supposedly got 31 million, but I'd like to see
something like that with my own eyes. (I sense an obnoxious Hisa post
coming...)
<p>
anyway, point is, there's been international challenges going on at
MARP for a long time. The End.
