It's hilarious just how bugged the gauntlet is.
Invisible tornadoes carrying over to the next match, knocking you back.
Oozes hanging on to fight the next competitor.
2 people in a single dome.
I've also noticed that items can carry over as well. Masticus's orbs and Chomper's meat from the previous fight. An engineer's supply crate and bandages actually remained for me to use, lol.
