Hey, so should I count that as an extra ADB? If my Kongs move slower than yours, that's a slight disadvantage I'm working with. ;D

Hey, knock it off. We're not here to discuss the merits of the SNES over the GBA versions of the same game. Besides... If you think someone's ADBs are a load of crap, deal with it. I've had it with this. The way I see it, NeoArashi's so-called useless restriction actually puts the two of you on equal footing. If Nibbla is indeed avoidable if only for a little while in the SNES version, then the restriction is actually valid and keeps him from "cheating" his way to the end. Until this is confirmed, though, I can't really call this one way or the other. And no, saying you play another version doesn't count as an ADB. |

It's not a foul, but merely a useless ADB, much like Fay's Have a bugged Buster and HP bug, but don't use the buster and don't get hit'' combo of ADBs last round It's always me who sucks, eh? *grumbles* Honestly, I bugged the buster so it was useless - so I didn't use it! And yeah, I bugged my HP and didn't get hit - how is that so useless? Do I have to get hit when I want an hP bug? Is that a benefical bug, when I'm not allowed to get hit? Riiiiight. |

It is not benefical, but it doesn't add any difficulty either.

Well... Since I gave my Youtube Account to Neo, Kayorei told him I was allowed to post my rating here, to avoid any suspicion of self-voting  I'll rate both videos (Ive seen both) Neoarashi Style: 5/5 We have about the same skill level in most games we both like... but how the hell did you get THAT good in such a short time? (We always had the same skill level until maybe a year ago >_>) Do you know the whole game by heart? Ease 5/5: Well... you always have been good in DKC, there's only very few levels giving you trouble now eh? Legoman Style: 4/5 You did pretty good, I'll say as good as NeoArashi's performence. I was a little unimpressed by the combitation of Eat all cocos/Don't let Nibbla become pink, docking you one small point for that... I'm not to severe (and don't want to, because I'd be called a biased voter ) Ease: 5/5 I'd give you 4,5/5 if decimals were allowed, since you seemed to have a LITTLE more trouble than NeoArashi. But since I'm not an ass who round things down, I rounded this up, giving you a perfect Ease score  Cheers to the both of you |

Well, folks... this one's for all the marbles. Let's have a look at what I thought of your runs.
***
NeoArashi Round 6
Style: 5 (Huh. I've never seen a speedrun of Fish Food Frenzy before. You pulled it off quite nicely. A couple of close calls, but a sweet run nonetheless. I don't see anything wrong with it at all. You really know your way around this level.)
Mistakes: 0
Implied Ease: 4 (While you did make the challenge itself look easy, it seemed as though you needed precise timing to slip past the various forms of sea life and keep Nibbla from munching on them at that speed, which hurt the ease score just a little.)
---
Legoman Round 6
Style: 5 (You were a nudge on the slow side, but that was understandable, considering you were going for a Coco genocide run and were after bananas, not to mention you were trying to keep Nibbla close by and there is a notable speed difference between versions. Your nimble Nibbla handling was definitely impressive, which more than makes up for the pace.)
Mistakes: 0 (Nibbla did leave the screen at 1:50, if but for a fraction of a second.)
Implied Ease: 4 (You did make the challenge look pretty easy, but maneuvering that fish around looked rather tricky.)
***
You both did superbly on your challenge. Way to take two completely different routes to the same end. This one's going to be close, I can feel it. We'll find out on Wednesday!

Well... Since I gave my Youtube Account to Neo, Kayorei told him I was allowed to post my rating here Oh, we can still rate here? Okay, then here's my rating for NeoArashi's video since it refused to go in: Style: 2/5 I was VERY unimpressed by the sheer number of times you had Nibbla go off the screen. If it were not for the color changing, there were multiple points where Nibbla could have actually eaten a fish or Lurchin without anybody being the wiser (and we didn't hear the one at 3:39, either, so sound isn't an excuse). In fact, there are even a couple spots that I'm tempted to call shenanigans on, such as at the end. Also, call me a softie if you want, but I didn't appreciate you starving your fish. Pet cruelty for the ultimate loss. I also didn't like you using that sympathy ploy, but that's irrelevant to the above rating. Ease: 3/5 It was alright, but there were points where you had to completely stop (namely 3:31 & 4:06, among other smaller cases), which made your movements look less fluid...and of course, less fluid = less ease. You also would have clearly broken at least TWO of your ADBs if you didn't keep on the move as much, which costs you here as well. |

And I find it weird that you're ALWAYS the one to give me low score and perfect score to my opponents. It must have been like 3 times in a row now. Kayorei Will decided this, but I really sence biased voting. Worse than the suspicion I had on Fay (Which I don't have anymore) I know I'm not the best and won't impress everyone with my performence, but I higly doubt my performence was THAT unimpressive 3 times in a row Syaro

I didn't give Lego a perfect score, in case you didn't notice. I'm not playing favoritism here. It's just like I said: I was very unimpressed with you scrolling Nibbla off the screen. It kind of negates Kayorei's restriction on the Lurchins and kind of calls into question whether or not it actually ate other fish. |

You're lowering my score just because you loves pets? That doesn't make any sences... Because you cut down on the number of fish Nibbla could eat......which, considering the number of times you had him scroll off, was leaning towards unnecessary. I just had it worded that way to fit it in the comment box. (...That would have been a double-post if I hadn't posted in the middle, wouldn't it?) |

Ha ha. Neo, the last one to play favorites is Syaro. Considering he cites specific examples and times in the video of what pisses him off about your vid, and I'm surprised he didn't take off points for the obvious sympathy ploy you used, seeing as how he's done it before. (Also, perfect score? What perfect score? I don't think he's ever given one of those out except for my Circusman run, and Kay disagreed. Different people, different strokes.)
