Mansley I feel should've qualified at this point, not so much Rogard.

>>104539
Muppets are rather underrepresented
Outside Kermit somehow becoming one of the major players zero Muppet specific characters have qualified and zero Sesame Street have qualified, and only a few other Muppets like Dark Crystal have qualified

>>105248
Miss Piggy was able to make it in barred which was neat.
But yeah honestly I can't say I'm very surprised. The Muppets don't really have enough power & strength to consistently make top 128 & Sesame Street has about as much of a chance as Thomas The Tank Engine to win. Maybe things would be different if we had 256 slots instead but I don't think that's happening for a long while.

scrungus really deserves to qualify

We could probably make a big list of these characters
>>104535
Getting closer each year.
>>105260
I've checked through all qualifier results and I don't think he's ever been nominated.

>>105300
I have enough time to do that, any characters you want me to search in the results?

>>105290
ok greg grassfag

>>105706
Goku

>Diane Foxington
Kek

>>156676
Shit you just made me remember this thread existed. Shit now I have to nominate
>>106043 early on

>>105710
dentistsisters...our response?

>>106043
He falls due to the board's general dislike for Disney
If Talespin got rebooted he'd likely be talked about enough to qualify a few times but I don't think that's going to happen now

>>157190
In hindsight, it's amazing Kronk made champion

>>157204
>The KFP villains are fairly well-liked
Well there's a blatant exception to that now, though she would have had to qualify in last month's tournament. If any of them actually qualify and end up losing, I better see at least ONE funpost around them bowing at the end of KFP4.

Of course, I do think the wider issue is that we need to see anyone aside from Po qualifying. Time will tell if that can happen or not.

>>156676
If she doesn't make it after the sequel hits, she's truly shit and finished.

>>157190
That's a shame, I think some of these characters would make for fantastic champions and I’m not even a big fan of the company

>>106043
Same reason that one boomer furry waifu from Talespin never makes it in.

Getting far in a side tournament is 90% campaigning. The meta is utterly different. Tag Team is a little closer (probably more like 75%), but to compare it is laughable. On /co/ something like 90%-95% of the vote is preemptively locked down, campaigning can sway a couple percentage points in a close match, on /tnt/ it’s the dictating factor. Even someone with maximum base appeal could potentially lose if they don’t campaign.

>>157262
I agree on an individual match by match basis, but I think /co/ can be swayed a lot more rounds in advance by build up campaigning. You might only be able to sway a margin in a round itself, but the knowledge of your strong campaign can change the way people vote in future rounds as momentum builds(plus the longer it’s active the more people see it). By the final round a strong campaign could sway 10 points if they’ve been going at it since the start

>>157264
I agree. Also campaigning built up over multiple years. Grievous is a great example of this. Also I think ENA getting #1 seed this year is maybe attributable to her highly engaging past tourney history, cause she's certainly not my guess for #1 on base popularity.
It of course should be kept in mind that getting far with campainging is predicated on base appeal factors. A literal who like Cheesecake or controversial zoomies like MD probably can change nothing.

>>157265
Eris is a really good example. Didn't get in in 2018. jobbed in 2019 and 2020. Not a powerhouse. Then she started getting more threads on the board, a strong campaign, a bit of good luck with match spread, and suddenly she's a powerhouse in both 2021 and 2023.

Unfortunately the latter was not legitimate, and while the former was legitimate given the timing I would not be surprised if NSA was the lead/original Eris campaigner or the one making threads pre tournament(plus she has a couple dozen alts to swing a tight vote). It's kind of tragic that there's a high chance Eris only got to her current status because of NSA helping her

>>157266
>>157265
Queen apparently lost to Jasmine of all girls in 2018. Now Jasmine isn't a super jobber or anything(She's qualified since, she's got legacy and sex appeal, and she came Top 4 in the Next 128 Tournament last week so she's got potential), but not all powerhouses are born powerhouses, sometimes you have to build up rep, multiple years of good campaigning can change things.
>>157265
Cyn probably would have made it to Round 2 in Seeded Brackets. Lapis is a huge nothingburger so it was just a spite vote, had she fought Amity it would have actually been a fight since Amity also gets massive spite for being a DVTA and a Lesbian, Cyn probably would have won. Don't count her out next year.
Cheesecake might actually qualify next year just based on the good publicity Frankie brought her plus the alliance backing. Not gonna last R1, but I think she'll get in once.

>>157268
I would garner SU gets as big or bigger spite than DTVA at this point. Also Amity was getting a big OC rush so it's not an easy call.
>Cheesecake might actually qualify next year
She's simply too obscure. All the campaigning thus far hasn't broke her in the top 500. Let that battle go.

>>157273
Too niche. Actual ryonabait.

>>157273
>>Cult following with a big presence in the side tourneys
Means nothing, different meta
