The Super Meat Boy leaderboard challenge

[dezm0nd]

Before you know it, it'll be the 5th of September, the night of recording the Super Meat Boy issue for your listening delights. Here I am offering you a challenge on one of the levels of the PC version of Super Meat Boy.

It's from World 2 - 13 called Ulcer Pop. Check the video for the leaderboard and i'll update it weekly.



Add me on Steam, username dezmond (I have a Super Mario Bros image as my avatar) and i'll get you involved should you wish to take part!

I'm ashamed of my time in that video. Meatboy just hates me.

[dezm0nd]

At least you're better than Tony

Before I open the game up and get going on this, what, exactly, are we taking part in?

[Ergo Me Smart]

I utterly suck at SMB, but at least this gives me a reason to actually play the PC version some more. I'm in!

[dezm0nd]

Before I open the game up and get going on this, what, exactly, are we taking part in?

A... Super Meat Boy leaderboard challenge? I don't know how to phrase that any clearer, sorry Roy!

[Roy42]

You're right, bad phrasing of a question.

To what end are we competing?

[dezm0nd]

After a week, i'll update the video and change the level? There's probably not enough activity going on to get forum members to choose so it'll probably be the best out of us lot gets to pick the level.

[magicjoef]

I've only played on Xbox before so I'll have to unlock the level, but I'll try and get a score up.

Suuuuuuper Meeeeat Booyyyyyy

[dezm0nd]

You can do itttt!!!

[dezm0nd]

Video update! Also throwing into the mix a small, pathetic prize if you're from the UK in the form of a videogame! Either a copy of Rage (360) or Operation Flashpoint Dragon Rising Wossname (PS3)



Come on chaps, add me to your friends list or provide proof of your best times!

[magicjoef]

(I'm not just here on the mention of a prize, I actually already have Rage Want to help get the ball rolling on this though, could be really good fun.)

My first attempt is 5.97...

[Baron Phil]

I'm on 360 and my best so far is 6.22

Not sure what proof you want but here's a terrible picture taken on my iPod. :S

[dezm0nd]

That'll do! I believe you. Game on, chaps and chapettes!

[Roy42]

Oh god, I need to hurry up and post a real time for this.

EDIT: …Huh. I went for the 360 version because it doesn't lag horribly for me, and after a few tries I was able to get 6.32; turns out my leaderboard time is already 6.22, though!

DOUBLE EDIT: Make that 5.92.

TRIPLE EDIT: 5.53; and that'll do me.

[CodeThief]

Oooh, I needed an excuse to go back to this. I'll have a crack this week

[Ergo Me Smart]

I've managed to beat Dez's time, so I'm quite happy about where I am at the moment

[CodeThief]

6.76 so far. MUST. DO. BETTER!

[dezm0nd]

Keep it up, chaps!

[CodeThief]

I managed a 6.42 in the end. Just can't squeeze any more out. I think I know where I'm losing the time but my ageing reflexes just refuse to behave!
