I think all Bomberman vs. games should have this scenario:

Play it like those fighting games with no score with a slight twist. This means the following:

1 BOMBERMAN OPPONENT -

20 points for winning(1 win)

-2 points for losing(1 loss)

9 points for drawing(1/2 win, 1/2 loss)

2 bombermen opponents -

40 points for winning(2 wins)

29 points for drawing with 2 people(3/2 wins, 1/2 loss)

18 points for last defeated or 3 way tie.(1 win, 1 loss)

7 points for first two defeated at same time(1/2 win, 3/2 loss)

-4 points for first defeated(2 losses)

Three bombermen opponents -

60 points for winning(3 wins)

49 points for double defeat or two-way tie(2 1/2 wins, 1/2 loss)

38 points for last defeated or 3-way tie.(2 wins, 1 loss)

27 points for double defeat(last down), or 4-way tie.(1 1/2 wins, 1 1/2 losses)

16 points for 2nd defeated or 3-way defeat(first down) (1 win, 2 losses)

5 points for double defeat(first down) (1/2 win, 2 1/2 losses)

-6 points for first down(3 losses)

Why did I give the first two scenarios? You'll run into this in Neo Bomberman. (Which I've requested Pat Laffaye to split just like the other bomberman games)

EXAMPLE: Take QT Quazar's atompunk vs. recording. He beat the first level(60 points), the second level(60 points), the third level(60 points), second down in LV 4(16 points), then won level 4(60 points), last down in LV 5(38 points), and was 2nd down in the same level(16 points) - for a total of 310 points.

If you ask me - that'll take care of the massive tie problem. Thanks for reading. GB9

I agree something must be done about this. I like your idea. I say, go on with it. Maybe we could give some kind of BONUS for let's say winning 3 matches in a row.

This reminds me. I think it would be a good idea if there where a little explanation at the top of the score page to those games that is tricky to score. That way I won't have to download some old MAME version to check out a recording to see how the scoring is calculated.

I hope you know what I mean :-)

Bye.

I disagree. JUst because they're tied now does not mean that someone will not eventually do better than 4. Hell, it's just getting interesting. Not that i wouldn't eventually be okay with what you're proposing, gb9, but as for now, it's a premature solution.

Anyway, i suppose one of us should mention to Pat that Neo Bomberman needs to be split.
