Who are the people you see on the scoreboards most frequently, that you just can't seem to beat? Or, if you have an incredibly fortunate run and manage to dethrone them, they'll take that throne back alarmingly soon?
Here are some of mine. Consider this a compliment if you
are one of these players. (And feel free to correct me if I assumed you were a he, and you're actually a she.)
MeCubed: The toughest Pointman Pro player I've run up against. Will generally retaliate in short order if you top any of his scores, and if you do enough of that with the same artist, he'll just run through the entire album to tie up loose ends, resulting in a string of 5 or 6 dethrone Emails showing up in your inbox within the same hour. Particularly distressing when it's a high-traffic song that was a fight just to get through with Eraser or Pusher.
Kaveman: Also has some crazy awesome Pointman scores, though he doesn't seem to be active any more. Tends to show up on a lot of my old-school favorites from the days when I was big on Christian rock (Jars of Clay, dc Talk, Newsboys, etc.)
weeblegrrl: Another ridiculously talented Pointman player. I think I can safely assume this one's a "she".
hellfaucet: I don't tend to run into as many ridiculously insurmountable Vegas scores these days as I used to, but this guy's the reason a lot of Animal Collective thrones (as well as those by other electronic acts) remain out of reach for me. People say good Vegas scores are just lucky, but I think it must take a lot of tenacity to get this good with Vegas (the game has to give you the right powerups, but you also need a really good sense of timing regarding when to use them).
onetrueboo: Darn good Pusher player. Seeing that his Pusher scores could regularly outstrip my Eraser scores inspired me to learn what exactly makes Pusher tick. Now it's my favorite character.
XenoRizos: OH DEAR GOD. Just quit while you're (almost) ahead if you see this dude on a scoreboard. He usually plays Eraser, but will mess around with other characters just for fun if you dethrone him with one of those characters. Seriously, the guy's like FedEx. Dethrone him, and he'll return your dethrone Email to sender within a guaranteed 24-hour turnaround time. Dethrone him again after that, and he'll just end up driving the high score up to something so ridiculous that you'll wish you'd left well enough alone. Witness the following:
http://www.audio-surf.com/song.php?t=popular#167488I worked pretty hard to get that 359k score, topping a score of his in the 300k range that had already seemed rather impossible to reach. Then I woke up the next morning and saw that he'd nearly doubled it. WHAT.
