[GHEMANT]

well, congratulations... BBH wins this edition of Knock Out tournament!

Congrats to both finalists. BBH for win as usually and Last Ninja for first and very good tournament.

Thanks to K7 coordinators for some experiments in K7, especially for special targets.

I do have to confess one little trick I didn't post on this forum - using the Mad Power car, you actually accelerate faster from the start of the race if you shift to 2nd gear, skipping 1st gear entirely. This ends up making a difference of around .6 or .7 seconds in the pre-stage time. Doesn't sound like much, but when you add it up across 10 courses it makes a difference of roughly 6 to 7 seconds! I was doing this in all my inps after the first few, and was wondering if you'd catch it... guess I got lucky on this one.

I've actually discovered this one just a couple of days ago (i think i've used it in my last replays, i don't remember). In the beginning, i've noticed that starting directly with the 3rd gear can contantly bring to a 16''86 in the pre-stage, while normally you can only reach 17''03 at best. Also, using a little of 1st gear then switching directly to 3rd gear can sometimes bring you to a 16''30.
Great game, perfect for a final match

K7 coordinators, can you make here a recap of BBH & Last Ninja's scores, displaying total time for each ?

BBH, congrats again (you must be getting used to this).

Congrats BBH!

[franco.benedetti]

Nice job, BBH (but maybe you should reconsider being next year KO coordinator, so we human may have a chance as well...) and congrats to lastninja2 too

[INNUENDO]

Congratulations, BBH!! Great play on K7 in every games that you´ve played.

And, of course, congratulations to the coordinators. I liked a lot the rules on the first round! Very original idea.

See you on K8 !!

[The TJT]

Congrats Matt and great result Lastninja. Good work coordinators, interesting final round format.

[TRB_MetroidTeam]

Congratulations BBH! The same to LastNinja2 and Gemant, of course!

[ballas]

Thanks everyone!!! This was my 1st tournament and it was a great experience even though I got knocked out in the 1st round. Congrats to all the guys that got to final rounds

It took a while to get my account approved so this is coming ridiculously late, but better than never..... Congratulations BBH, you have proved yourself again to be one hell of a talented gamer. I can't wait to be a part of this year's Knockout tourney and hopefully rough you up a bit, assuming of course I can even make it out of round one.
