Really fun event, I was cheering for you both and was on the edge on my seat when I saw you both getting stuck in the ghost level.
I wasn't too into competetive Mario until I saw this thread and thus checked some vids on youtube. Seems to be quite fun

If there were any warps, we didn't find them!

That ghost house was pretty tricky. Did any viewers figure it out before we did?

Unfortunately only the commentary for the first half got saved: http://www.livestream.com/abomination/video?clipId=pla_57e5b33b-91e6-48ec-81b1-da8de457cb93

We switched streamers for the second half and apparently none of his stuff got saved.

I do have the first person of my perspective for the second half: http://www.livestream.com/dabu/video?clipId=pla_35bec27e-6ca7-44d1-9b82-615ccc286c85

Go World Champion?? What's his real name?

This is the only news article I could find that even contains the phrase "Go world champion" in realtion to an actual current professional Go competition:

Taipei Times

And that says nothing about "three times". Maybe he just meant a three time international tournament champion? Though I am pretty doubtful.

The opening post is supposed to be humorous and not taken seriously.

Sorry if people felt "tricked" but it was so facetious we didn't think anyone would actually take it at face value.

It was serious in the sense that we were really competing to win. We all play Brood War together plus lots of other games. Sonic and I in particular play quite a few Mario rom hacks together over netplay and we die a lot due to latency (ZSNES netplay is like extra high lat) so we always joke about how bad the other one is. One day Snowster was watching us play on my stream and convinced himself that he was much better, so we got into an argument about it and decided to have a friendly competition and then discussion about the wizard started and it kind of spiraled out of control from there.

I think some of the appeal was picking a game no one's played, so that the players are on their feet.

Tetris attack is a fantastic game though. I'd love to see competitive panel swapping. Unfortunately, I don't think it'd be as good as it could be over netplay unless someone comes up with a way to have lan latency on ZSNES.
