Sebastien’s stand out performance this far into the league was Ms. Pac-Man where he logged the highest score yet at 22,220. He also claims the fastest defeat of the boss of the Eastern Palace, quickly dispatching the last red knight with the bow and arrow before it’s new attack pattern could even begin. His run through also had a stark reminder of just how harsh retro games can be when in Sonic & Knuckles the game refused to acknowledged he jumped into the spinning wire drum because he had jumped a pixel too high when entering it, plummeting Sonic to his death.

Abraham Forosan 26OCT2014 1 Act 5,330 9,600 15:34

Abraham was the first player this season to play Knuckes in the Sonic and Knuckles challenge and it appears to have worked against him as the last minute character change appears to have given him difficulty with the controls. His best performance of the night was Legend of Zelda where he speedily defeated the boss for a clear time of 15:34.
