MIB tips for left and right hand lanes

[phamton]

Well, today I maxed out one gun and picked up the second gun and got 975,000. So close and yet so far!

I did have a personal best today. I maxed out the first gun at the ambush. Usually I can only max it out right before going into the scanner. So this was the earliest I have maxed out a gun.

woah thats really good
today i got 111,000 in the training but alas there was no other exhaust port...but dont let that make u think i didn't max out...i still did before the bug but not as fast as i usually do

how did u max out before the ambush....it looks like i still need some practice

 

[phamton]

I maxed out in the ambush not before the ambush. So when I left the ambush I had maxed out so I got to use the second gun to hit the green eyes in the bushes before going into the scanner.

Instead of hitting the aliens in the ambush, I turned around and kept hitting the alien in the blinds that open and close that were behind me in the other scene.

i know u maxed out in the ambush i meant to write that but it didn't come out that way
a little while ago my brother who i helped has now gotten to 896,000 he is really excited about doing so well but he still hasn't been able to beat me on the ride
next time he says "i will smoke you and you will never be able to max out again" then there was a weird silence and he punched me
well as of now he still can't quite max out and hopefully next time i can get to a higher score with 2 guns

Yes. Both of my sons can get 999,999 on one gun before the scanner and then pick up a second gun and get 999,999 on the second gun. They can both max out 2 guns using only one gun at a time.

The highest I can get on the second gun is 860,000 but I'm trying to max out on 2 guns.

This is really the old school being relegated to the "has beens" by the new school. I am in awe of you being able to max out 2 guns on one run. You guys must make the FLASH look like he is moving in slow motion. When we get the opportunity to re-up our passes MsDis and i have to meet you guys there to watch you work your magic.

Congrats, WOW, Way to go.

This will look silly with all you guys that max out before the ride is over, but I just wanted to say that I score 250,000 first time ever on MIB on our first trip to Universal last week. (Thanks to a few tips from this board.) Wowed my DH and DS who both scored under 100,000. (I've never scored over 50,000 on Buzz over at WDW. I was soooooo proud. Came back and told all my 9th graders what I did. They said it was because of my killer instinct.)

GOOD FOR YOU, my first ride thru i scored 121,000.

 

[Universal FReak]

On my first ride ever I was monly 8 and I got around 50,000. Hey I was little. Now I'm 14 and can max out every time

 

[phamton]

My first ride was around 3 years ago and I got 45,000. There is hope for anyone!

I have a question. before i posted the handbook i was concerned about people using it to get high scores, then becoming bored with the ride since they max out every time. I have been on MIB over 1,000 times and the ride is still just as much fun even if i do not max out on points.

For all of you that max out as easily as you do, Is the ride still as much fun as the first time thru???

 

[phamton]

Well, there are 4 people in my family that all max out easily and we all still love the ride. Sometimes, I shoot at totally different things and see how many points they get. I also shoot and determine when certain sensors become active. They aren't on all the time. When someone tells me that a certain aliens (like Frank the dog) gives BIG points, I check it out (he doesn't). Or someone says that there are sensors on the rocket above the screen when Will Smith gives us a warning about the big, big bug, I ride to check it out (it has no sensors). Or people say that the second and third shot on the aliens makes the points you receive go up ( it doesn't), I check it out. Another myth is that you get more points from hitting your own exhaust than from hitting your opponent exhaust (you don't.) I also like to ride and help others increase their scores or secretly reach over and hit the red button for a little kid so he can beat his big brother.

I think making a high score has helped hook me. I have no desire to ride Buzz as I suck at that ride. Most people enjoy doing things they are good at. If you are a good swimmer you like to go swimming. If you can't even float or dog paddle, you usually spend less times at the pools. I never go bowling or golfing because I am not good at it. I love horseback riding because I'm good at it, same with MIB.

 

[Slacking]

I've maxed out on Buzz and still have no great desire to ride that ride.

To me the ride is still a fun experience. I do have to say though it isn't like ROTM to me where I will constantly go on and really really have fun. I do like MIB and I max out everytime(except when I am vs. Bev), but sometimes it isn't as exciting and I don't really have anything to look forward to. I guess now I'm going to have to mix things up cause shooting the same guys everytime (training top left corner, baby alien windowsil drop down bugs etc) can get really boring. Right now I'm currently excited when riding because of my brother. He is 8 years older than me, but is having trouble maxing out. His highscore is 896,000 after I introduced him to the proper aliens to shoot for the big points. I really have hope for him and when we ride its fun competing with him to see if he will eventually surpass me on the ride

My son -Mr. Gamer has been asking if anyone who has accomplished 999,999 such as MIB999999 will be there when we go June 29,30,July 1,2. He would love to ride with you once and observe your technique. This is the guy who made fun of my Dis'ing yet, was caught reading your hints last summer. He is graduating this year from college and looking forward to more time for games. Need I say more!

 

[phamton]

I'll be glad to meet you there any of those days. I've taught lots of people how to get all 9's. Just PM me with information on times and dates as it gets closer to your trip. I'll also see what I can do to get him a few front of the line passes for MIB.

Bev

 

[Universal FReak]

Count me in. I would love to go and help him out...even though he is older than me. Bev do you think if I went you could get me some express or would that be too many. Just asking cause I would be happy to be there

 

[thedisneymom]

Ohhhhhhhh thank you all! He is soo excited! I will send you all the details as the vacation approaches with our "real " names , our hotel info etc. this is so great! I will wait outside for you to just to say hi if you don't mind. By the way Universal Freak -it doesn't matter how old you are when you are so generous and kind. we would love to see you too! My daughter is a bit younger than her brother(22), she is 16 and although not much of a gamer can always use ant help she can get destroying her brother. Thanks so much Bev!!!! You made our day! We are staying at PBH so I don't think you need to try to get FOTL passes for us but we appreciate the thought. You can pick the day and time and he will be there with bells on.

 

[Universal FReak]

Sounds great.
I will get express myself if I can't get a FOTL. I can get a couple express if I get like my brother(22 huh thats funny) to come with me. Anyway I have even taught my 22 year old brother how to max out. It only took him a couple of tries. All I had to do wastell him what to shoot and then have him ride without shooting so he could see what I shoot at what times. Also, today I tried helping my friend who has an AP by not shooting anything and explaining to him what to hit and when to stop shooting something. I can't wait to help.

MIB999999 and MsDis will not be able to go those days but it seems that you have the current "best of the best" attending. I remember all the meets we have had in the past and it was always a great time.

Good luck in the quest for the "999999's"

 

[thedisneymom]

Sorry you can't make it. My son is so thrilled to have the opportunity.
