I almost dropped out of the tournament because I had travel for work last week come up unexpectedly and I had no idea of my ability to post anything at all. I stuck with it anyway and managed to have more time to play than I realized.
You may have also done better on real hardware instead of having to play on the laptop.

Congratulations to our top 6 that made to the grand finals.
I will be posting the thread through the day with the details.
Game one!

Just a tiny nitpick, but my score is actually 22,440. No big deal.

I kind of wish that smick and Krunch had posted something, but I understand. There are games where I'd have no chance against better players. I would have had zero chance going up against bert and guts at Life Force.

 

Fixed it.
I would have prefered if they had posted their scores, though.
It feels sad that the 2nd round of the tournament has 2 empty scores after a whole year of competition.
 
I agree. Tiers might be the better option for tournaments in order to prevent severe mismatches. Not that they can't happen anyway. We all have genres and games that we're better or worse at. Those were very unfortunate picks for Krunch and smick.

Cool.

I'm a little rusty at Ninja Gaiden 3. I have beaten the game losing only one life, but I've never no-deathed it. The timer on the last act is brutal!
Don’t let me beat you in another NES NG game this year
