👑 THE CROWN HAS BEEN CLAIMED. 👑
Congratulations to our Crown of Thorns NC Circuit Finale Top 8!
And standing above them all...
🎮@TheEndothia IS YOUR NC CIRCUIT CHAMPION!⌚️
We saw dominant gameplay and incredible results from him early in the season before they seemingly disappeared from the circuit.
But they weren't wandering aimlessly.
They had their sights set on this.
And when the Finale came around, they delivered.
Congratulations, Endothia. You earned the Crown. 👑
And to every player who made it to this point, thank you for an incredible season. You worked all year for this moment, and the Finale was everything we could have hoped for.

Not to be dramatic but I re-watched the Pyra/Mythra Smash reveal with a new perspective and genuinely got emotional. Probably would've been sobbing had I played the game years earlier

Punchout #11, big turnout for this one 🔥
The fly can now play Smash Ultimate.
I've successfully trained the MaleCNS v1.0 fruit fly connectdome's 166,700 neurons using YOLOv5 and video pretraining data to play Smash Ultimate in a keyboard environment with attention-based aiming.
It found the most success on Mii Gunner.
