You can do the challenge totally offline. You only need the Internet to email us when you win (there will be instructions on the victory screen).
We'll keep giving out 2000 Wii Points until we get 20 winners, so you've still got time. Even after that we'll continue updating the leader board as new scores come in.
Good luck!
The final boss does get a lot of bonus MadStones, more than it does on any of the lower difficulties. The player gets the same blocks/bombs/MadStones as normal, but the reason that it can be really hard to pick up big combos is because (like you said) the Savant boss starts huge combos really early and so it's using a Quake almost the entire game. And when the boss is destroying your MadStones left and right, it not only makes it harder to keep your combo going because it takes more time and effort between MadStones, but also because having them break unexpectedly throws off your game... carefully planned sequences of moves can be ruined.
If you haven't taken a look at my strategy guide yet, I'd recommend checking out the section on Quakes (the last section). I wrote some of the sections about when to Quake and when to end combos specifically for the tougher levels in Savant mode.
Fun Fact: the last boss used to move about 30% faster before I toned it down, and it could Quake harder than a normal player. Ouch!
1-Could we use the «skull mode» that we learn after hard mode for Savant mode or it is considered as a cheat?
2-Are you SURE you can shift wii points to someone who live in Canada?
3-Who did the fabulous music for this game? It just keep playing in my mind 3 hours after I played MadStone.
2- Actually I'm not sure. We'll try it, and if it doesn't work, we'll find another way to get you the prize.
3- All thanks for the excellent music goes to the game's co-creator, my brother Jacob! I'll make sure to let him know you liked it.
Do you have any other trick for me or a video to know the best method to beat him? I am desperate but I will not stop until I made it.
The key for winnig was to never stop my combo even if the boss had a lot of madstone on his side. I managed to do a 120X combo.
I will send you the photograph of the screen after supper.
Yes! This has been confirmed. Enjoy the points, Pascal!
Don't know if it's due to regulations for the contest or something else entirely.
If it has to do with moving the 2000 points into a Wii "outside" the US or Canada, wouldn't changing the Wii from Mexico into US or Canada allow for the points to be trasnfered?
Although we aren't sure, we don't think that changing the Wii country setting would work. The cards do say specifically US and Canada only.
If you are able to complete the challenge, we'll still put you on the leaderboard. We'll also try to get the points to you somehow, but we can't make any guarantees.
The game is very fun and I love the art direction (as I said in a post at the Wiiware-world.com review of Madstone).
Hopefully your next game comes out soon (and Madstone continues selling).
