Challenge Cup - Mac Attack

[Kugyince]

This is a pay to play contest. You will need to fork over 5,000 points to participate. Don't have 5k? Then you'd better beg, borrow, and steal to get them if you want in.

This contest will revolve around Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!. Here's what will be going on. Every three to five days when I get up the initiative I'm going to make a few gos at a boxer. Afterwards I will submit my shortest time for KO/TKO. Once submitted, all participants will have 36 hours to submit a gif movie of them tying or beating my time. If you do not succeed, you'll be disqualified from the contest. At the end of the contest, everyman left standing will be awarded a badge.

When will the contest end? When one of these three things have been met: there's only one or fewer participants left, one month has passed, or I get bored with it.

So are you the perfect, poetic pugilist performer? Lets find out. Sign up here!

[Hobbes]

I will entertain any young up and commers who are in need of cash, though you must refer to me as your "Sugar Daddy"

and I am N

[TrakMastaTom]

Ooh. I don't even have 5K. The price is a little steep if you ask me.

[jeckel22]

I agree with TMT. Maybe about 3 or so. I am in at 5 either way. Do I donate them or do you take them?


TMT: I can donate enough to get you over 5 if you want to play.

EDIT: Never mind TMT. I already gave it to you (even if you don't play).

[Kugyince]

Yep, the price is steep, but, what else are you going to do with the points? They're just sitting there after all.

Since this Challenge Cup is for a popular game and can award out multiple badges I think 5k was just about right.

All CC's will have an entrance fee of 1 to 5 thousand points from now on so you'd best go win some of the lesser contests for points if you want in.

Sign up closes sometime on Monday.

[wanman]

Well am definately in, becasue guess how many points I have? Lots (48,000 to be precise) Am just waiting for my points and my badge in the Moai-Kun Contest.

[sabby]

:@:Tenser - This is kind of disallowing new members to participate. Shouldn't we be a little more accommodating to them. Also, it's not fair to you, you have no possible way to obtain the badge, I think you should be able to get one, too.

5 G's a little steep, but I'm in.

[jeckel22]

I remember a forum quite a while ago talking about how badges should be earned and not handed out. It was actually talking about getting team badges. I think it is a good idea to pay to get into the contests. You could always ask others to donate some points to you. This contest is going to wipe me out, but I could always ask wanman for some later if there is another contest I wanted to enter.
;)

[TrakMastaTom]

I suppose I am in. I am not great at Punch Out, but I bet I can beat the time if I give it a few shots.

Edit: Oh, and thanks for the points, Jeckel.

[Kong]

I think paying points to enter contests is good but 5K might be a bit steep. Looking at just this page - only Tenser, Hobbes and Wanman can afford to enter & lose more than once. But if The Bank of Wanman is generous then I guess everyone can just take out loans. I just gave him 40K for the last contest.

[Kugyince]

I plan on having them from 1k to 5k tops. You'd be surprised how quickly you can rack up points with the contests.

[wanman]

Ah yes, the wanman has all the points.

:@: Kong : You actually gave 30k to me

:@: Evevyone : Yes, i can give out loans but there might be some sort of deal. Depends on the challenge.

[Kugyince]

Hmm... a lot of good players. I'll either have to make the times really tough, shorten the movie due dates, or start eliminating people by the longest time first.

Suggestions boys?

[Kong]

Instead of having it "Beat Tenser's Time" change it to "Lowest time or lowest score is eliminated each round". This way it is open to Tenser and every round someone is guaranteed to be booted.

I think the first round should be 7 days and each round after should be 3 days. If you do not think you will have time to submit a score in the next round then you can submit two separate scores in the current round one of which would be used for the next round.

I agree with all of that except submitting two scores in the current round, because isn't each round going to be a different boxer?

Anyways, I think if you can't get on and play a round at least once every three days, don't sign up.

[sabby]

Is this going to be a winner take all competition or the top three get a badge. Like a lot of the challenge cups, it was who ever could get the challenge done.

Also, it depends on how long you want to have the contest run for turn in times.

The "Survivor" method of elimination sounds good though.

What happens if there is a tie for the elimination score. All gone or back to the previous score?

Just some things to think about:)

I'm not worried about being able to participate. It comes with the Contest Mod territory. I don't think I participated in a single contest on onVGP.

I don't think there's a good enough reason to extend the first round. Three days each round should suffice.

I agree with all of that except submitting two scores in the current round, because isn't each round going to be a different boxer?

Yes, but we'll be going in order, skipping Glass Joe. So you can submit something earlier if you wish, the penalty being you wont have as much time as others to get a low time.

Is this going to be a winner take all competition or the top three get a badge. Like a lot of the challenge cups, it was who ever could get the challenge done.

Depends on how many people sign up. Four to seven people; top place gets a badge only. Eight to eleven people; top two slots get a badge with the first place badge being slightly better. I don't think we'll have twelve or more players but if so we can go with three badges.

What happens if there is a tie for the elimination score. All gone or back to the previous score?

Ties for elimination will be held in this order:

The decision will be decided on the highest score that round.
Then the decision will be decided on last round's time.
Repeat process one and two until the tie is broken.
Seem fair enough?

[Kong]

Each boxer has a strategy that yields a best possible time - there might be a lot of ties. Maybe using points would be better.

This might be one of the few chances you get to join in. You ought as well take it.

[Kugyince]

I believe it'll be less of a problem then you think, especially as the contest runs on into the harder boxers.

On a side note, one more entrant and we can have two badges.

[wanman]

Does this contest start on Monday?
Coz if it does and we only get 3 days...
Then i won't get a score submitted.
Because maybe on only this Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, I won't be on.
I can get my score in on Thursday i think.

[Kugyince]

:@: wan: Well that means you've only got the rest of today to PM me a movie of your fastest Von Kaiser time. Because of the day ahead advantage, if you do happen to get on later this round I wont allow you to submit another score to be fair to the others.

:@: All: I expect your 5,000 points before you submit your first entry. Since we're all bound by honor here I expect none of you to play this game until tomorrow to keep it fair, excluding wanman. All submissions must be PM'd to me, after the time is up I'll post all of the submissions at the same time here.

[wanman]

Wait, Seems that i can go on mornings...
I think'll play the game tommorow morning.

[BRODYMAN]

On a side note, one more entrant and we can have two badges.


If it's for the greater good, I'll throw my hat in the ring...provided I get a backer. Are there any points awarded to the winner(s), or is this solely badges and bragging rights?

when does thus hullabaloo start?

[sabby]

So do we have to wait to PM a score to you or do we do it now?

[Hobbes]

...provided I get a backer.

The magic banana has visited you.

So I'm a little confused. I was under the impression that this was a "Beat Tenser's Time" type contest. Given Ten's first quote above, Tenser is to post a score, which we're supposed to beat, and submit a gif recording of.

:@: wan: Well that means you've only got the rest of today to PM me a movie of your fastest Von Kaiser time. Because of the day ahead advantage, if you do happen to get on later this round I wont allow you to submit another score to be fair to the others.

All submissions must be PM'd to me, after the time is up I'll post all of the submissions at the same time here.
But given this, it seems that we have until midnight tonight (in our own respective time zones) to pm a recording to Tenser, without knowing what his time is.


So do we have to wait to PM a score to you or do we do it now?

Ten, can you give a little clarification? Thx. :D

[Kugyince]

We changed it later on with Kong's idea.

Each round will be a single elimination round with the slowest time eliminated. Ties will be broken by score. You will have until 11:59pm EST Wednesday to submit your time.

To submit a time: PM me a gif recording of your round. After the due date has passed, I will post each recording and the results.

This round's opponent is Von Kaiser.

How about a link?
Also if we use save stats to get to Kaiser will the gif recording work?

Also does it matter which punch-out we use, ie Mike Tyson's, or just Punch-out?

[Kugyince]

No link, if you can't get past Glass Joe to get to Kaiser than don't bother playing.

You can use save states so you don't have to keep beating the previous boxers.

Mike Tyson's version only please.

[Kong]

Also if we use save stats to get to Kaiser will the gif recording work?
Animated GIF movies never have this problem. Keystroke movies - I don't know - maybe.

:@: Tenser - money sent.

[sabby]

The points have been wired to your off-shore account Tenser.

[Hobbes]

Also after beating down Glass Joe, I see that your time will be shown in more detail after the bout. I'm assuming Ten wants these shots included. They have the time down to sub sec, making ties very unlikely.

:fighting:

[BRODYMAN]

:@: Ten money sent.

ditto

[Kugyince]

Yes, please include your ranking in your gif movie. Thanks for mentioning it Hobbsey.:)

[TrakMastaTom]

I'm sure this is a stupid question, but how do I send my points?

[Kugyince]

Click the points under my name.

[Kugyince]

Just for verification reasons I'll be sending my gif movie to the first person to submit theirs to me. On this round, it was sabby.

[wanman]

Whoops, looks like i can't submit a time trial. Looks like I'll have to submit it on Thursday if possible? You might have take me out of this contest...

[BRODYMAN]

what seems to be the issue? Can you not get it done by then, or are there some issues with your being able to create a recording?

[wanman]

the issue is that my friend is here i don't have time on the computer. he's going tommorow so i might be submitting my score tommorow.

[jeckel22]

Just out of curiosity, why won't it let me delete any old screen shots or movies? Let me know if you have any problems with mine when I send it in to you Tenser.

[wanman]

Jeck, I think I reported that in the Bugs, Features and requests

[Kugyince]

Sorry to hear that wan. I can't let you go an extra day though because it wouldn't be fair to everyone else.

The only thing I can do is give you your tokens back and just act like you never entered in the first place. Only because this is the first round though. If it was a later round you'd be disqualified and take the spot of the low man for that round, giving everyone else a free pass.

[wanman]

Ok, I would take my points back please. Besides, Am really rubbish at Punch-Out , after Piston Honda that is.

So 5000 points back to me then?

For everyone else, your next opponent will be the first Piston Honda. Submissions must be PM'd to me by Saturday, April 14th at 11:59pm EST. Good luck!

[jeckel22]

Oh well. I discovered a fun game out of it. Congrats on your one second TMT. It is probably better that way anyway (I wouldn't be able to get in a score by that time). Good job everyone (especially those who got a time under 1:00). I need to hit the contests so that I can get more points (I don't want to have to take a loan from the First International Bank of Wanman). I will ask if necessary (and if I think I have a good shot). Good luck getting the badge all!!!

[Kugyince]

You've never played Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! before??? This game's hugely popular. Good show for you for being a first-timer dude!

All :ddq: members have free access to my points, no refunds necessary. All others will be charged a weekly 10% interest except for sabby, who will be charged a daily 10% interest.

[jeckel22]

Thats cool. I will only ask if I think I have a chance. I would rather earn what I get then have someone hand it to me.
TMT: don't worry about the points I gave you. Try to win it and that will be repayment enough (even if you don't thats ok also).

[TrakMastaTom]

Thanks buddy. I will do much better in these next few rounds. I was just constrained by time, and the one good time I put up I accidentally stopped recording too early.

I have already put up a time for Piston Honda that I am happy with, and it will only improve ;)

[jeckel22]

With Von Kaiser, I started at 2:15 but I eventually worked my way up. I will try to post my movies in this thread so that I can see where I would be if I were to stay in.

[sabby]

:@:Tenser - Whatever dude. This quote barely warrants a response.

Good job everyone. Unfortunately, in a contest like this, someone has to be the low man. Great efforts jeckel for your first time, I'm impressed.

Well on to Mr. "Sushi, Kamikaze, Fujiyama, Nipponichi..."

Good luck everyone.

[BRODYMAN]

So, with Wan dropping out before the official start, are we back down to only 1 badge for the winner?

[Kugyince]

Thats cool. I will only ask if I think I have a chance. I would rather earn what I get then have someone hand it to me.

Actually I was joking around. As the Contest Mod and the guy who collects points for entrance fees it would be unethical for me to hand out points borrowed or freely given to anyone. Especially doing so to favor my team.

:@:Tenser - Whatever dude. This quote barely warrants a response.

Aww. Only one badge :(

That makes me chances go down a lot.

[Kugyince]

True, but think how much more it will mean to you if you get it.

I think I'm going to rename this contest to "The Last Mac Standing" :D

I thought my time was pretty good.

I Will Edit along the way.

[BRODYMAN]

you totally left out tenser. His times are fair game too.

[Hobbes]

Ten are we going to have a time trial with King Hippo? Not so much skill there as luck as far as getting a fast time.

[wanman]

you totally left out tenser. His times are fair game too.

Instead of having it "Beat Tenser's Time" change it to "Lowest time or lowest score is eliminated each round". This way it is open to Tenser and every round someone is guaranteed to be booted.
I think the first round should be 7 days and each round after should be 3 days. If you do not think you will have time to submit a score in the next round then you can submit two separate scores in the current round one of which would be used for the next round.

Oh and of course I am in.



I'm not worried about being able to participate. It comes with the Contest Mod territory. I don't think I participated in a single contest on onVGP. .


If you want me to add Ten to the list, fine.

[sabby]

But wanman, he is in the contest. It no longer is "Beat Tenser's time" in this challenge.

[wanman]

Fine, I'll change:

Seems like we should end with Iron Mike or have a second contest that ends with him.

[wanman]

Ok, but remember i edit along the way when i have too so when i see a change, i do it.

[Kugyince]

There'll be a sequel down the road that will feature the other opponents if everyone enjoys this one.

[TrakMastaTom]

I am enjoying this, but I don't think I have ever beaten Iron Mike. I haven't played this game a lot, but never the less...

[BRODYMAN]

I'm also SOL of we need to take on Iron Mike. I did play this game a lot as a young'n, and I never beat Crazy Mike.

_________________________________________________
Having a look at all the times,

1) Hobbes has a very great chance of going through

2) Tenser has a likely chance of going through

3) Brody has a good chance of going through

4) Kong has a OK chance of going through,

Sorry Kong but your more likely to be knocked out.

MY JUDGEMENT:

It is a close macth between Kong and Brody but Brody has a better chance by a little bit.

Hobbes and Tenser is probably going to be the fianl but not too sure, might not be.


All of the above is based on your previous times so it might be wrong, it is just my opinion

[TrakMastaTom]

Well my time wasn't so bad considering I only had time to box him once.

I wish I would have had a bit more time, I probably could've cut 10 seconds off of my time.

[Kugyince]

I COULDA BEEN A CONTENDA! :fighting:

[TrakMastaTom]

Exactly.

[wanman]

Wanman's time against Great Tiger: 01:01.61

http://www.retrouprising.com/NESscreens/wanman/Mike-Tyson's-Punch-Out!!-813.gif

[Kugyince]

There's a reason why I want all the times posted at the same time.

[wanman]

Oh yeah, i'll unleash it when you unleash the scores

[BRODYMAN]

I'll need your fastest Great Tiger times submitted to me by Friday, April 20th at 11:59pm EST. Good luck. :kakashi:[/B][/COLOR]

I may have a problem getting a submission in by midnight tonight. so it may be 4th round byrs all around -except for me of course. I'll try to get something in, but it'l probably be late tonight, and it probably won't be too good. :(

[Kugyince]

I didn't think it'd come to this but we actually have a tie for last place at the moment, right down to the hundredth of a second. If BRODYMAN submits a time higher than the ties, it'll come down to points.

Good try Kong, you made it quite far in the competition.

For the final match it will be Hobbes vs. Tenser against Soda Popinski. To make this completely fair, both of us will submit our times to Kong for this final round. Submissions must be sent no later than Friday, April 27th at 11:59pm EST.

Good luck kid.

I missed him in his bull rush at 2:09. If I would have landed it I coulda been a contenda.

Thanks people.

You deserve a lot of credit Hobbes. Especially for that Don Flamenco time. I have never even seen that late punch star on him. Until you did it I've always thought it an internet hoax. Awesome job kid.

I was impressed with this time and don't think I could score a TKO any faster on Soda without getting EXTREMELY lucky. :kakashi:

Ten on Soda were you body punching him on his second uppercut? It's hard to tell from the movie exactly what you did. I was sooo close to that time, but he'd dodge my star haymaker every time I went for the third knock down.

[Kugyince]

The three major hurdles to overcome were the facts that the faster body counters don't reward stars, you only had 8 hearts, and you need to confuse him to get a star knockdown.

For the first knockdown I had to counter both of his left hooks with face jabs for two reasons. I needed to save on hearts and I needed the extra star that the face jabs give. Then you duck/confuse and smack him with a body for a second star. Immediately counter the second deep uppercut with a faster body blow (dropping down to 7 hearts) then launch the star. KD1 in 18 secs.

For knockdown 2 its a walk now that you're prepared. Counter the next two hook with faster body blows. Down to 5 hearts. Duck/confuse/body blow, which doesn't give a star most of the time on this section, hence the extra star in the first. Body counter the second deep uppercut and star him. 4 hearts and kd 2 in 37 secs.

Knockdown 3 is a repeat of the previous knockdown, leaving you to finish with exactly one heart left and zero or one stars in 55 secs. See, he wont dodge the star punch if you body blow instead of dodge because you can transition quicker.

This could be done in 54 seconds.
