kingraph Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 Time to bring the SNES "world record" to the community: Will let you know when it's verified by Twin Galaxies. 58 again, seems to be my lucky number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tru Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 (edited) why does it have to be 10-minute periods? when I try for my personal best (around 120, I can do 111 fairly easily), I do it with the cartridge's max, 20-minute periods. seems arbitrary to use a shorter period. and easier. I haven't tried this in a while and I do have a standalone DVD burner, but... nah. oh, and what are the other "rules" as far as menu choices? not sure why it matters.

clockwise Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 I'm interested to hear about what your strategies are for face-offs, Kinger. It must be a critical part to scoring quick goals. Do you see any patterns; do some players feel like they're better at winning draws; whats the difference between SNES and Gens for face-offs? Seems odd that this game has been played for 20 years and there still isn't any definitive answer for how to win face-offs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evan Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 43-0 is my personal best, just for fun. Best part is the 200 body checks though. I don't have a recording of it, but it was on a genesis console at my Dad's with 10-min periods and my son dangling over me. What most say is true - there will be parts of the game where it is difficult to score on the CPU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Kudelski Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 Congrats Raph! - 59 seems like it would be really tough to beat. But let's say I wanted to TRY to beat it, just for fun, what parameters do I need to follow? I have looked into the Twin Galaxies site before but had difficulty navigating and finding the requirements for a world record. For example, what does the video need to show (the screen, the console, you inserting the cartridge into the console, your face, drivers license, etc.)? And where do you send the video (is email acceptable)? Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't tried this in a while and I do have a standalone DVD burner, but... nah. oh, and what are the other "rules" as far as menu choices? not sure why it matters. 120 in 20 minutes is a pretty great score! I'm not sure why 10 mins is the Twin Galaxies record choice. You could easily make 5 minute and 20 minute variants. I agree 20 minutes would be the toughest as each attempt would be 45+ minutes and would need a longer period of computer "easiness" -- meaning a regular state where the AI is fairly easy to beat and score on. That would be incredibly boring...10 minutes is brutal enough! You don't need a DVD burner these days. You can submit digitally/YouTube, which makes it more convenient. Just make sure you record your console boot up, etc. You can read the guidelines on Twin Galaxies if you're really interested. The rules: "Regular Season, May Freely Choose Your Team and The Computer's Team, 10 Minute Periods, Penalties & Line Changes are optional, May Choose Automatic or Manual GoalieSpecial Rules: You must play all 3 Periods and WIN the game by at least one point.

It must be a critical part to scoring quick goals. Do you see any patterns; do some players feel like they're better at winning draws; whats the difference between SNES and Gens for face-offs? Seems odd that this game has been played for 20 years and there still isn't any definitive answer for how to win face-offs. Great question clockwise. The first thing I would look at is the players on my team and also what my strategy will be for the next play should I win the faceoff and if I lose the faceoff. That's true for both versions of the game. Now, when doing a blowout record vs the CPU, it's not that interesting because the opponent isn't thinking/reacting to my previous plays and my intention is the same (score quick as possible). For SNES, I primarily tried to win the faceoff back to the defensemen (Housley and Coffey) and either pass to an open F for a quick breakaway, or if they were all clogged up, I'd take it in with the d-man directly for the deke goal. Note: About 50 of the 59 SNES goals were dekes. No one-timers, no slappers. I think the rest were crease-cuts. I'll get the numbers. Pretty boring, and there's no real need to alter strategy each play. It was similar on the GENS record attempt, but winning a faceoff to the winger was preferred as big slappers and crease cuts were the most effective. Now, when it comes to playing against a human opponent, I think different strategies come into play. Who is on your team vs. the other team, does your opponent stop your quick attempt at a breakaway, can his d-men stop a speedy winger, have you developed a pattern that he is anticipating,etc. There's actually a lot I'd like to write about this (it's a section of my future strategy guide!), but will take me some time, so I'll leave it for another time (soon though). I hope to provide video/picture examples as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check out the earlier post from CoachMac and myself on the parameters. The video would need to show the console, the startup, cartridge and then the entire run without interruption. You can submit on the TwinGalaxies website. PM me if you are interested and can't find the info on the twin galaxies site...happy to guide you through. Seems they restructure every year.

kingraph Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 Btw, here are the current world records for each console for the EA NHL series as of today.GenesisNHL Hockey (NHL'92) - 35 NHLPA Hockey '93 - 72 NHL'94 - 58 NHL'95 - 36 NHL'96 - 21 NHL'97 - 21 NHL'98 - 24 Super Nintendo NHLPA Hockey '93 - 47 NHL'94 - 58 (pending my score...previous 49) NHL'95 - 56 NHL'96 - 80 NHL'97 - 52 NHL'98 - 58 I think I may try to break the '92 and '93 records for Genesis in the near future, and maybe the others, but I haven't played '95 in years and I've never played '96-'98.

tru Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 I'm not very familiar with the Genesis '96+ games, but those totals look easy to beat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Kudelski Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 For NHLPA hockey on SNES - 47 is pretty ridiculous for 10 minute periods. If I booted that game up right now I'd probably have trouble hitting 20! Thanks for the info Raph. I might give it a shot some day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trudatman you have really set yourself up here.

Bob Kudelski Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 Hey guys. I had some alone time today so took a shot. I ended up with 56-0 win. All stars east over the sens. I even recorded it, although poorly. What I learned is, I suck going downwards in the 2nd period. By period, I scored 23, 16, 17 goals. I had about a 3 minute run in the 2nd period where I couldn't buy a goal. Going to try again sometime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingraph Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 I had about a 3 minute run in the 2nd period where I couldn't buy a goal The "no way you're scoring" computer mode. Happens each attempt, the trick is how quickly you can overcome it. Good luck, it'll be fun to see how far we can stretch this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tru Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 ....years of telling us about how you're an incredible player....prove something around here.... you love this lie. find more than one post where I claim to be better than good. find one, even. you have terrible reading comprehension skills. you create a myth in your head and then share it with others, coloring me poorly; thanks. anyway, I have none of the gear set up and these things are huge time sucks. I just can't put my time and effort into this right now. I have anything else to do, including working on my next ROM. I routinely had 105 through 111 in my tries in the past. I can do better, but it all depends on how long that "you won't score" period lasts. 119 is doable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clockwise Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 I'm pretty sure this TwinGalaxies thing is a big sham. The best player I've ever seen was this guy named AAA, he had all the high scores everywhere when I was a kid, but he's not in any of the games on their site.

BrYaN55 Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 (edited) I just did 74 goals in 30 minutes in NHL 94, no cheat, no hacked ROM. Sadly, I don't have any proof of authenticity, as I didn't record myself playing, so you'll have to take my word for it that I didn't cheat or anything. Here's some pictures I took. I didn't score in the last 52 seconds which is a bummer. Also, I find it funny that Belfour is the third star of the game. I can't remember the last time my goalie was part of the three stars Edited March 1, 2015 by BrYaN55 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingraph Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 Awesome! Yeah, it IS crazy that Belfour is there...unless Roenick and Yzerman scored/assisted on ALL 74? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrYaN55 Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 (edited) Yes, It was mostly Yzerman at center to Roenick on the right, score, rinse and repeat. But the three other players did make at least 8 points but were not considered for a star it seems. I do have more pictures for those who are interested (not that it prove anything, but if you're curious about my final stats). I tried to avoid scoring with Coffey and Housley as they are too unpredictable with their low shot accuracy.

tru Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 (edited) goalies that get shutouts will very often get a star, based on the way the three stars of the game are calculated. you can even let in one and get it, if the shots against are high but there's little/no scoring. good stuff, Bryan.
