04/23/2008: "The calm before the storm"


Week one news, and it has been fiercely competitive so far! shocked
With records tumbling every day, it's anyone's guess how far times will fall, and how far players will rise!

So without further ado, congratulations to new Site Champ David Schiering. His opening set of times were very impressive and dislodged Fabien Da Silva from the top spot. Guilio Centrone jumped straight into 3rd spot and surely has his eye on David's crown with updater Kristopher Will just behind him. Stacy Needham rounds out the top 5 with an impressive 6 Site Records.
How long can David keep his title with such intense activity? Stay tuned folks!

Honorable mention to Lewis Benny who hit double digits with 10 Site records, currently leading the way on that count. He should be a strong contender for the title in these early days when his remaining times come in.

52 players have joined this week so far, 20 of whom have a full set of 64 times, which is to be expected at this stage due to the time required to actually sit and pull out a full set. With the US release of the game in just 4 days, we should quickly surpass the 100 player mark.

Hopefully we can begin to dominate the Nintendo top10 leaderboards. Currently we hold 6 World records and have a 15.62% rating. The number at the top of this mainpage will keep track of how we're doing.

And finally, many congratulations go to Kalle Videkull for beating Nobou to sub 1'10 on LC. At 1'09"933 this is easily the most impressive WR currently. Good job!

Keep up the great work! smile
