No, that's the end. Didn't have time to make a proper end.
Hmm.. I have to actually say I disagree with HuFlungDu ending in first place. Don't get me wrong, the gimmick and all was really fun, I especially liked the mole powerup, but all of it kinda suffered from the Brutal Mario-syndrome. That is, the gimmick got so important there wasn't really anything much to the level and the level design that there was, was not too amazing. Looking at last year's winner, LunarDrake, I think the overall quality difference in the higher ranks are pretty big, actually. LunarDrake's entry this year, I haven't played though, but I'm not expecting it to be as astonishingly amazing as last year. Guess I'll see.
I didn't really like LD's entry last year. Haven't played his this year, though, so can't really say anything 'bout that.
Good fucking bye.

Couldn't agree more. Though I would hardly say it suffered from the brutal mairo syndrome, because carol had as much time as he wanted to make those levels. We didn't start level designing until a day before the contest was over, and I (I emphasize me because I am a terrible level designer) did the whole thing in like, an hour, so yeah, the level sucked hard, I thought were we in the very bottom tier of the higher levels, but I guess this just shows that you can jade people with cool ASM to the point where they ignore the fact that the level is really not very good.

I also feel though, that a lot of people look specifically in hacks with good ASM for bad level design, but that's just my opinion.
HFD I just saw that video of the SSBonus Room, and the Mole costume looks amazing. I'll have to play that hack.
When I entered, I was actually "going" for worst possible entry.

Although, it seems all three of the judges accidentally interpreted the last part of my level incorrectly. It's not kiazo, it's automatic.

I could have said something about that, but that would require actual effort on my part, you see, so I just couldn't.
8th place huh? I placed 8th last year too. ;_;

Some what disappointed that I didn't place higher but 8th is decent I guess. I guess my level was a bit long huh? Anyways I had fun with this contest, it was cool.
To the people wondering about LunarDrake's entry:
It's pretty much more of the same from his entry last year. Top-notch stuff, but not as amazing as some of the other entries.
