EDIT: Here is a video of the entire finals, all players' performances shown in tandem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYzFqlj_BpA

Fungah crushed Trip Machine Evolution (one of the harder level-18s in the game) with that 21-perfect PFC: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5vlXeV49OUs&t=3h41m50s

Really crazy to pull this off first go in a live competition.

Also an impressive comeback by Chris with his performance on Egoism 440.

I've played and followed these games since I was in middle school / early high school, way back in 2001 or so, and have seen Chris' performance over the years. It was extremely satisfying to see him win, because it just felt so well-deserved after all that hard work.

On a more selfish side-note: Chris and I have never met, and have not really even spoken much. We went to the same college, but he arrived just as I was leaving, so our paths never crossed. It's unfortunate, because I was really frustrated that I couldn't find any other rhythm-game players throughout my four years there. And not only does someone show up as I leave, but it's him, of all people. Talk about irony!

Back to the tournament though, to compare the scores (from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sLY_w8xbYPM#t=5h33m52s, reordered by rank per song):

Code:

All charts on Challenge mode:

Dead End (“Groove Radar” Special):   FEFEMZ 1584   CHRS4LFE 1577     FUNGAH 1566   o4ma 1542
Paranoia Revolution:                 FEFEMZ 2128     FUNGAH 2106   CHRS4LFE 2100   o4ma 2041
Egoism 440:                        CHRS4LFE 2328     FEFEMZ 2262     FUNGAH 2198   o4ma 2165

Total:                             CHRS4LFE 6005     FEFEMZ 5974     FUNGAH 5870   o4ma 5748

Chris getting 3rd on Paranoia Revolution was somewhat expected, but he still did well enough to maintain 2nd place overall. During round 3, Chris needed to hit 2298 on Egoism in order to beat FEFEMZ -- so talk about your holy-crap moment.

But he did so well on it (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sLY_w8xbYPM#t=5h30m40s) that it moved him up from 2nd to 1st.

o4ma picked Dead End, FEFEMZ picked Paranoia Revolution, and Chris picked Egoism 440. Definitely smart choices to make for maximizing their own chances of winning while minimizing chances for the others. Just turned out to be the case that Chris' pick gave him a better advantage compared to FEFEMZ's pick.

FEFEMZ is not easy to beat: He's a top-level player in DDR (both singles and doubles), PIU (both singles and doubles), Jubeat, Pop'n, Sound Voltex, EZ2AC, IIDX, and Drummania. I'm probably forgetting some. He can hold his own against people who specialize in their respective games.
