NOTE:
  • There is a priority issue with some objects and the match results (see snapshot). Firewave, pkunwar062gre I tested out the possible bug pkunwar062gre on my Penguin-Kun Wars PCB and took some screenshots. As you can see, that blob thing that moves like a slinky in the middle does show up in the text box that appears after the round is over. In all 3 shots I took, the text has priority with the blob showing directly in the background. So I don't think it's a bug. wtc4ever
