It would certainly be better if he finished the game. Of course, he did kill himself on purpose too.

It does get to be a problem when there's possibilities of infinite leeching. Stupid Korean shooters.

If you can walk into an arcade and max the score through a leeching technique then I do not see a problem with it!

That's why video games have high scores........

It's a battle to get to the top!

When does this end?

i think most will agree to the "walk in arcade" rules, but if you have potential for infinite leeching it's a different story. Why would someone who walks into an galaga arcade knowing the no-fire trick be fairly allowed to score better than someone who doesn't and has a lot more skill than the person with the leeching knowledge...? IMHO in not a fair battle ground, DQ the unskilled advantages.

OK, fair comment..........

I do think that if a person is obviously really good at a game we go into a grey area though........

God, this subject has been going on for years... :(

Obviosly it is still a "Challenge" to get points in the Hexadec point now.. CAN WE PLEASE BAN THIS TYP OF LEECHING, or so I (or another person) have to upload a 10mil recording taking a few days to watch??

Get real.. there is a difference from leeching and maximizing......

Yea. I mean, If i WANTED to waste my time and get 10M, i'd do it. Currently, I rather sit down and think about Bosconian. Ahhhh. :)

No offense taken, QRS. I understand your viewpoint. :)

Oh, and both scores have been deleted. Each by ourselves. (CTYPE, and me. :) )
