Thank you guys! Actually, I was sorely disappointed when I failed 2,50 on high Jump, all the more so since I usually do that without problems. Had I succedeed, my score would have been identical with Kobashigawa’s arcade world record (95040).(posted 8936 days ago)The stick available on the arcade machine was quite different indeed from Happ Super Joystick: it was made of black iron with no ball/handle on the top and it had a round black iron base. I wonder whether it was popular also outside of Italy. Needless to say, sticks are more subject to wear and tear than buttons, so that it was often difficult to find one in good conditions. The most effective running techniques with these two sticks are also very different from each other: the arcade stick requires a quick vibration of the forearm, whereas Happ stick gives best results when it is repeatedly slapped with the right timing. Anyway, my best results are:
ARCADE MAME
100m 7"75 7"59 Long Jump 9,72 9,67 Javelin Throw 99,23 99,74 (104,03) 110hs 9"72 9"57 Hammer Throw 99,99 99,48 (100,34) High Jump 2,49 2,51
Tommi, I’ve read that you consider it impossible to jump 2,51 "solo" with buttons. This notwithstanding, I was able to do that (only once!) with my stick. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to do 2,52 though. 7"47 is your 100m arcade record, right? What about your MAME record? BTW don’t you think we should also have separate results for single events beside the one round scores?
