Ghost Combo tips

[gabu]

Hi everyone. I have two doutbs concerning the ghost combo mode, maybe you can help me.

The first one is: do you know when you pass by ghosts and they star following you in a line? Is there a limit to the number of ghosts a line can contain? I'm under the impression that when it gets around 30 ghosts the other ghosts you pass by are just knocked out the screen.

finaly: I saw the videos for people highly placed in the ghost combo's leaderboard and a lot of them have scores impossibly high but in the videos they just let pacman in a corner, without moving or getting any ghosts... what is going on here?

Thank you very much.

Some of the scores are from hackers, so it's not really a good indication for the high scores.

Ghosts will follow you when you pass by them, thats part of the games mechanics.

I'm not aware of a limit for a line of ghosts, but its best to just build a train of ghosts then grab a power up to munch as many as you can before it wears off.

You can knock ghosts off the screen by using a bomb but they don't just vanish,its hard to see how many ghosts there are when you got a big line of them following you.

There is a limit to the size of the ghost train, but I don't know what it is. I remember one game deliberately not eating ghosts to see how large it would get, but I started to notice that when you wake up a sleeping ghost it will run off the edge of the screen instead of joining the train.

The most the chain can hold is 30. Once you have 30 in the chain, passing by sleeping ghosts will pop them off the screen. I haven't watched any of the leaderboard replays, but know that you can legitimately get well over 900 in all the maps except Champ II (high 800s, maybe 900 is possible) and Champ I (high 90s, maybe 100 is possible).

Didn't know there was such a limit, interesting.
