Title: Twisted Gauntlet
Post by †Adonael on 09/16/18 at 19:25:12
Inspired idea for a challange for the hardcore fans of twisted metal.

What is the Twisted Gauntlet? A hardcore challenge for bragging rights on who is the best twisted metal player.  The competition is simple. Playthrough single player in one sitting and record your playthrough. The quickest with the least amount of deaths will be the top dog.

I ask for a recording to insure there is no funny business as here are the rules:

Minion is banned in all games except black.
Sweet tooth and any unlockable cars period are banned in Twisted 4.
No weapons for health AA
No Minion Special AA
Only Mines, shield, freeze and cloak are acceptable.
Hardest difficulty.
No glitches
As you'll be one against many health is permitted.
Bonus points will be awarded for not dying and using a crappy car.
You must be seen selecting the hardest difficulty in your video.
Upload video to a video platform such as YouTube to post here as well as sending me a hard copy to inspect.

For the first Gauntlet we will start with the first game.

Who ever wins this challenge will win a $50 dollar prize Via paypal or Visa Gift card.

Winner im bonus points will be awarded a $25 dollar prize.

Thats a chance at $75 dollars for being a lazy ass.

You are allowed as many entries as possible until the deadline, but all recordings must be done in ONE sitting. Videos will be monitored for editing and watched thoroughly for any cheating.

This may seem like a joke, but its a challange by me. No lies , no slander no jokes.

So what the fuck are you waiting for?

(Disclaimer: at least more than 2 different entrees for regular prize and atleast 4 for full prize.)

Is emulation allowed, and if so, are there any guidelines for which emulators we should use? Might be a good idea to limit to certain emulators to prevent people from cheating via tool-assisted superplay. (Not all of us have capture cards  :'( )

This sounds pretty fun though. Though luck will play a factor, I think the best player will probably come out on top anyway.

Good luck all.

What do you consider a crappy car in TM1? Pit Viper? I already did every car on hard with no deaths a long time ago twice in TM1. Considering how RNG Twisted Metal is getting the fastest time can be annoying.

Yes. Epsxe is allowed.

Also luis needs to be a new playthrough.

I would say Pit Viper and Grimm. Not that Grimm is a crappy vehicle, but winning with low armor should be awarded imo.

Also I forgot to mention as a fail safe, you must be seen selecting the hardest difficulty in your video. Only for the fact Honor system in this environment is sometimes questionable.  Rules above are amended to reflect so.

Do I private message you the video? I don't want people to see my strategy.

I don't know what this means.

That it is fine to pick up health's because it is you against the AI.

You can if you want luis. I'm fine with that.

This sounds like fun ! If I had a capture card, I would use Hammerhead in TM2 for this challenge. :D

When is the submission deadline, and what if we don't own one of the games (in my case, ps3)

Right now the Competition is only running for the original Twisted metal. Once this one is over and the prize is awarded we will move on to another game. Each game will run as a separate competition with separate rewards.

At the moment I'm not sure If I am going to run TMX (ps3) at the moment due to the length of the storyline in itself. If I can think of something I will run a competition for that one, but at the moment there is no plans.

Deadline will be November 6th.

Today is the TM1 deadline. I don't think you should do TM2 and the others since I was the only one for TM1.
