Because the the controversial tournament opinions thread basically turned into a tourney general, we may as well make it a straight up general thread instead of pretending to make random threads into one.

This is oddly enough, a King /v/ only problem.
The only character outside of King /v/ that won through the retarded power of friendship was Zorak with the help of the plunderers and /co/nquerors. Even then, it wasn't due to the fallen defeated opponents coming back to help zorak, it was support from a measly three to five characters who jobbed in round 1 and 2.

King of /v/ for some reason has a boner for characters that behave like shonen characters. My personal theory for why this is might boil down to the end-game hype and fallen opponents campaigners jumping ship to the proceeding contestant who won which gives it more power and hype in turn.
Then, to feel included these artists use the "power of friendship" to include characters that jobbed a few rounds prior.

So, what's the absolute WORST tournament crowd? I want to see some spicy takes
>The Spitefags that don't particularly desire to see a character win, but rather want to ensure you lose. Will often use REALLY stupid excuses "they're a solo campaigner, they're a /tnt/ pick"
>The Silentfags that don't discuss the source material, don't roleplay, don't post art or make any, only vote in a way that doesn't at all reflect thread hype or energy
>The Campoogner crowd inverse that cries that you HAVE to vote for their characters just because they have a lot of art and the tournament is literally over if they're voted out, even if you've personally engaged with the source material and disliked it
>The LJN (Laughing, joking numbnuts) crowd that put in entirely insincere or out-of-character picks "Because it's funny", don't actually care about the source material, only thread-derailing memes. Not because it's humorous source material, mind you. But something divorced entirely from the source (Alex Eagleston, Battler, Jpeg dog, Jack-off, Jimmy Neutron "this guy has really bad stuff in his computer", etc)
>DBS derailers
>DTVA derailers
>The "hype" crowd that will propel absolutely anything regardless of how good it comes out to be "because it'd be EPIC" (Duck Match) or a character being perceived as an "underdog" just automatically makes them better
>Riggers

I still hold the opinion that Wario's biggest advantage over Eggman was the fact that he had better hopes of diversifying further in terms of vocal support. As time goes on, it unfortunately becomes clear that Eggman is a surprisingly quiet pick despite how many anons do love him. I'm not certain Wario could have quite beaten Grimm considering the sheer power gap between the top and bottom parts of the 2023 bracket, but he didn't have as obvious an Achilles' heel as Eggman did.

Maybe hard opinion, but the roleplay alone didn't get Zorak a win nor any alliance did.
The roleplay got him to a certain stage, but what sealed it for him was a very smart strategy once he got there of trying to tie in the character's importance to AS and later adult animation and humor, as well as pity voting with C. Martin Croker. Very smart move that sealed it for him

Someone already said it but the short version of it is timing. Ms. is the first tournament and that's when all hell breaks lose. Spitevoters and funposters have been waiting the whole year and we know how Ms. is ruined since 2019 and why. King happens at the very last time and people are getting really tired. That's when people will have the mentality of "burn it all down" and do the most craziest shit imaginable and there's just no time to cool down. Mr. and Queen are just chill as hell in comparison.

I'd add a category: troll/chaosfag. Just wants to start shit, see the tourney burn. May or may not actually be engaged with any character but that's besides their main pointwhich is agitating and demolishing.

Worst to fine:
>Riggers
Obviously the worst I think. Literally destroys the tournament fundamentally. Justifies host paranoia. Ruins characters.
>Trolls/Chaosfags
Probably a lot of crossover with riggers, spitefags and meme fags.
>Spitefags
Yes, they're annoying and can make the tournaments ugly and unfun. Thrive in ms. /co/'s especially.
>campooner
The worst thing out of the meta-tization of tourneys. Basically wants to turn main board tourney's into some kind of /general/ wank. Been calling out this attitude since 2021.
>meme crowd
It's gay and stupid but I think largely falls in with trolls/chaosfags and some people wanting to spite the whole tourney cause their picks lost (Johanna and Jack Frost were largely used for this purpose).
>hype crowd
Stupid and short-sighted but not malevolent, just annoying. Worst thing they ever did was jack-off.
>DBS
Sometimes annoying, whatever.
>DTVA
At least they're relevant in some tourneys. At this point MDfags may have surpassed them in annoying fandom.
>silent majority
Complaints about silent majority were always on a level weird to me. It's literally just the casual voterbase. Of course it exists and of course they will go with the popular and "obvious picks." You should expect it. Like some others have said it's an appropriate filter that still makes it a board tourney and not some circlejerk. There are annoying examples of perhaps 'unworthy' characters getting through because of them but ultimately I think it's better a winner lean more into silent majority than meta crowds. The first two year tourney's were basically ran with majority standard taste and the winners (sans Spinel) are still considered pretty universal and top-notch.

Soldier is unironically the most fit TF2 character to win King /v/ in any capacity. He’s funny, entertaining, has had a campaign on par with scout, is actually schizophrenic, is the most well liked class in TF2 and he has the best theme song in TF2.

TF2 mercs all are inheretly very well designed characters with their own merits to why they deserve to be good characters to proceed to E8 or take the crown. Some however are better than others.
>Scout
The illiterate boston boy has consistently been a good pick and had a damn strong and good campaign alongside it. Probably the most vocal character. Has already made it to the E8 twice but I don't see him as a contender for the crown.
>Soldier
Actually a well rounded character. As said, he's entertaining and has had a very good campaign to go with it. Really deserved to proceed much more and is one of the TF2 mercs that is deserving of taking the crown due to its well likeness.
He's also the TF2 merc with the highest seed ever at the 5th seed.
>Pyro
The actual schizo of the TF2 roaster and at the same time the most bland one. He really is a mystery and we don't know a lot about him but he is entertaining in that regard of mystery and his schizophrenic antics. Although a disliked by the playerbase for W+M1
>Demoman
Can be on the same level as the soldier but he's never qualified. He's a drunk black scottish cyclops, he possess a sword that speaks to him and he is a demolition expert that is surprisingly rich as fuck. Also liked by TF2 playerbase for having two entierly different playstyles within the class.
>Heavy
The textbook definition of a silent majority pick. He's always been the highest TF2 seed within a tourney and has made it to the elite two times. He hasn't really had a campaign or any support whatsoever but he's also ironically the TF2 merc deserving of the crown for basically being the face of TF2 and legacy to countless memes. Also loved by the TF2 fanbase.
>Engineer
Engie is always for some reason the character with the shittiest memes possible but with the highest potential for a good campaign too. The most played class in TF2 apparently.
>Medic
Is the merc with absolute highest potential for OC and campaigning and legit disappointed he's never even qualified once. He's a batshit insane doctor who somehow makes the most infuriating and stressing class to be enjoyable to play. TF2 fucking worship medic mains as god among men as the class is very rare to come by.
>Sniper
Entertaining but not really E8 material if being honest. He has more character than pyro but that's it, he throws piss at people which is funny. He's fucking despised by the greater TF2 fanbase for being a class with little to no downsides.
>Spy
Never actually understood why Spy is the most commonly third qualified tf2 rep in these tourneys. The character is sure interesting and annoying at the same time, but he's hardly if ever had any type of support regarding his runs which doesn't workout like Heavy where there's some inherent support towards it. I do find spy kinda infuriating because he takes the slot of what usually would've been the more interesting and active TF2 pick from entering these tourneys.

Spinel was actually my first thought outside of the obvious inaugural winners. The biggest argument against her is that a lot of her impact was specifically on Ms. /co/, but she's often associated with the tournament turning into one of the least well-regarded in terms of general results to come out of it. Add on her being the face of the FOTM rule and just changing a lot of general tournament expectations going forward.

Batter isn't AS high as Spinel for me, but he's going to rank high just for his direct affect on King of /v/ the following two years, and honestly just for his unprecedented amount of OC.

>>110618
I would actually argue Recette goes lower than Batter just because she wasn't as instrumental in Queen of /v/'s outcomes the next two years. 2021 in general was a fluke year, so even if the more traditional winner of Madotsuki had won there would have been some lingering effects going forward. Recette wasn't even the one to directly take down Midna despite being in the same part of the bracket. Still an important character, but I feel she's just Batter Lite at best.

Waifufaggotry is super strong in the animation medium. /co/ is way worse than /v/ and /a/ is way worse than /co/. But at leasy half the reason is honestly probably Spinel jacking up the standards so early. There's probably something to it being the first tourney too, so being the big autism release valve and host retardation testing ground.

Here's an interesting question: is King Harkinian more of a /v/ pick or a /co/ pick? Everyone talks about the CD-i cutscenes, but think about it. He's directly taken from the king in the DIC cartoons, and even in the CD-i games he's only featured in the animated cutscenes aside from a simple sprite appearance at the very end of Wand of Gamelon. That's not to mention that YTPs are more adjacent to animation overall.

No. Sam and Coayy are not handing me the remote. They plan to test me to see if I can handle running a tournament. I don't think they're willing to hand over total control of the tournaments to some random anon after everything NSA has done. I don't blame them.
Since some of you are curious about me, I'll answer any questions you guys have.

Well we'll see how it goes. Hopefully you're legit, considering we could admittedly use at least another host or two to bounce off right now.

The one question I got is that I believe you mentioned some other person you wanted to help as well? That caught me off-guard and already feel a little weary of that idea being blunt. Is that person sitting out now, possibly still thinking of getting involved, or am I just completely mistaken on this point? It's been a busy few months if it's the last point.

As for your question. Not too sure what you're preferring to. The long and short of it is I ask some people I know not related to /tnt/ to hep run the colors tournament. Eventually I saw Dill was interested in hosting, so I asked him for help.
I'm still planning to run the colors tournament at some point.

The Judge is written by the legendary author Cormac McCarthy in the novel Blood Meridian where he serves as the main antagonistic force of the book. He appears randomly throughout the novel, in places you’d find most inconvenient or convenient.
The OP image describes the end passage where the Judge says everyone has to be the part of the dance, a metaphorical call to the cruel and chaotic cycle of war and life. And a fitting image for discussions all around.

Serious explanation:
1. The whole Anton-Loli debacle
2. Hyped up /lit/ contestant

In the controversial opinions thread, an anon who avatarfagged Anton from No Country for Old Men for some reason was mad as fuck, although at first for a good reason, then he just went on a tamper tantrum and began to rabble random sentences like "diet-loli". His first complaints were kinda reasonable, people were ignoring a fundamental problem within Queen /v/ which was the obvious lolicons who voted for the characters just because they're little girls. This in turn made a few well educated anons summon The Judge, a character written by the same author who is a notorious pedophile and pederast, among other things. Thus Judgeposting is usually brought up when there's some sort of drama going around regarding lolis.

The judge is also an incredibly hyped up character for a potential /lit/ tourney, of which was suggested by a namefag that went by "TheJudge" to be hosted who initially wanted to host a loli tournament but everyone voted for no. We also have a slight idea on how well-received Judge Holden is as the book, Blood Meridian is consistently on the top 10 best books of all times on the /lit/ yearly polls. Last year it even rose to the top 5 best /lit/ book of all time.
Many say that the judge would be an analogue to AM. They're very easy to draw for OC, they're very fun characters to campaign and roleplay, and they're legitimately some of the most well written antagonists to ever grace any media.

Both Garland AND Grimm are guilty of it, again the real problem goes back to that post mentioning the double-standards "schizo alliance" (or "Discord alliance" by this point, since it's all just pet picks of a black souls discord). Wuya was initially liked as a winner yet SLAUGHTERED for MAYBE being rigged by NSA, when we know she doesn't have as much power as people fearpost considering her tantrums over Zim, Bayonetta, and Wesker losing. Meanwhile schizos have actual, verifiable proof of the previous two kings being Spinel-tier riggers, but it's "okay" because shonen circlejerks from shitty "games" are apparently better than actual video game characters. It's all so tiresome.

I wouldn't say it was swept under the rug because it was basically all that was talked about for a good couple weeks before The Fall of NSA started, the reason it's not talked about anymore is because after all the extensive deliberation about the matter it's still completely implausible Eggman would have beaten Grimm even without discord trannies trying to brigade, the vote gap was just too high (and we still don't know how many votes were from SHITcord, unlike spinel where it's pretty obvious the number of votes the peruvians were stuffing for spinel just based off qualifiers alone). Besides not knowing how many votes were a result from shitcord there's also shit that further muddies the water like said shitcord also having people saying they voted for Eggman, the seeming inactiveness of the server, etc. Now there's also the maybe of the John Ward match which was a lot closer than Eggman, but again without any clear sense as to whether there were 10 votes from shitcord or 100 votes from shitcord, it's hard to draw any real conclusions other than that discord trannies should hang themselves immediately.

I don't know why people are forgetting such a debacle that just happened a few months ago, but the short gist of it was that the discord rigging happened way late into the tourney and there weren't enough people actually change the outcome of the votes either way.
We still have the discord server btw, we know how many people even gave a shit Like 20-30 at max and the maximum ranges that people have implied to have rigged was 79 votes (which turned out to be a reference to a meme). They also turned out to basically be a /v/ lounge for off-site users.
The only match that could've been changed the results for grimm had the discord not deployed the "79" votes, would be John Ward. Scout and Eggman still lost to Grimm, and this 79 vote statement was made when Grimm was matched with Eggman for this reference
You fool, I have 70 alternative accounts!youtube thumb

The actual amount of people that were visibly supporting and being active within the discord server was less than 30 unique individuals at any given time.

In short, even if we highball it at around 100 votes from the mostly inactive server, maybe Grimm vs John match could have been affected. Someone said the server also rigged since Garland and got him to win, but somehow it couldn't get Grimm past round 2 in 2022 or Alice past round 3 in 2023.
It could also be that the server did jack shit like that vote link in /vg/. Moreover this was clearly someone trying and succeeding in starting shit up. Blatant and obvious falseflagging and samefagging in the final afterparty thread made that all the more obvious.

I would say 32 characters actually is a relatively small selection. Sure, maybe admitting to only truly liking two contestants out of a 128-man bracket would be weird, but that on its own doesn't speak about someone's attachment to the medium in question, if anything and on its own, it just signals possessing different, more strict standards.
You also have to consider that most people with irl responsibilities can't fully alter their weekly schedule to allow themselves to be active in the threads for entire days, and sometimes that only leaves them with enough time and energy to campaign for one or two characters they REALLY care about.

My point being that I definitely don't think campaigners with specific tastes are below riggers, spitefags and trolls in any way. Here's a good reminder that nobody is entitled to free content/art created by other people with the express purpose of having FUN.

You have consider the demoralization part of the aspect. When you're trying hard to support one singular pick you're trying so much to support, only for it to lose unceremoniously, it demoralizes the supporters. Sure they can jump to their side-pick but when that loses too, it completely breaks them most of the time.
Ms. /co/ 2023 was for some reason really prevalent with this one. I for myself had to switch four different characters from qualifiers to round 3 until I just gave up and observed. I saw people having their entire pick lineup be slaughtered in the first and second round. When that happens, it isn't their fault they're not trying to campaign further.

What I prefer to do, and what I think other people should at least consider as an option so their other favorite characters don't get spited for being "silent", is to focus all my OC on one character but still vocally support the other characters I like by talking about them in the threads and why people should vote for them. Just something simple like "here's a list of reasons why x is a good character" or just sharing funny/cool scenes and images of the character is a great and honest way to campaign without busting your back pumping out OC. And you can easily do it for several characters at once!

The duo tournaments are particularly bad at this. There’s a pretty obvious contrast between people who have ideals of duos just in context of the duos themselves and those who really just support this one singular character and try to find anyone to match with them so they can wualify and then campaign as/for said individual character. The later are weaker teams because you’re trying to force a character into a team as opposed to there being a natural and obvious connection between two that makes sense nominating. The Elite 8 ban being teams only and not characters particularly exeplifies the issue

I had this viewpoint since the King /v/ ended but wasn't sure to say it until I rechecked the archives and I am currently confident to say Eggman had a more entertaining and interesting matchup with Geralt than it did with Wario.

Let me say this first, Eggman vs Wario wasn't even close towards being a bad match. It was a kino matchup with a lot of hype, OC and drawfagging and it saw two of the most prominent drawfags clash at a battle of pencils. It was a comfy and kino matchup but Eggman vs Geralt on the other hand was way, way, WAY more entertaining and enjoyable for differing reason. It is the only match up that actually made me kek multiple times even on a re-read through the archived threads. The Geralt greentext straight up sent my sides to the stratosphere and Geralt was actually beating Eggman in thread presence in most of the round, Hexanon also did the most OC for Geralt out of any Eggman opponent totaling at 15 OC pieces, so it wasn't purely a writefag thing either.
The reason why I am writing this is because someone said that Wario vs Eggman was the best non-E8 matchup out of any tournament this year and I had to digress. Wario vs Eggman actually did have absolutely kino OC and comfy, but it wasn't as entertatining and funny as Geralt vs Eggman was.

The power of friendship trope within the tournaments is way overblown out of proportions due to newfags and revisionists trying to think it was this thing that started with Batter which... It did but it also didn't?

Batter contrary to popular belief wasn't carried exclusivity carried by the schizo alliance in every OC piece. It was a big push, sure, but Batter doing it solo still accounted for a vast majority of the OC and campaigning. The only thing that Batter really got in terms of "power of friendship" was the cape of Grimm and Glasses of Spamton. The former usually not even included. The glasses were also included to add coloration to Batter as he was very plain and easy character to draw.
Schizo Alliance was a big push towards what helped Batter win, but it wasn't exclusively the schizo alliance that made him win.

Jack Garland is what I believe really started the Power of Friendship bullshit and the whole paranoia with it. At that time, King /v/ 2021 was basically considered the best tournament to ever be hosted still is somewhat and King /v/ 2022 was trying to recapture the spark. Garland was the obvious choice as he was hyped up since the start by defeating two fellow chaos destroyers and inheriting two weapons of them instantly, which then also changed the poll picture for each subsequent round. This was the definitive power of friendship bullshit moment, it was purely done to recapture the King /v/ 2021 fire which in hindsight didn't age well at all. The jack-off happened and we all know how it goes.

Grimm on the other hand... Is also very much a perpetrator of the power of friendship... But he's a special case because this is literally how he summons friends and allies in Black Souls 2. When fighting the end-boss, grimm summons every ally, foe and friend he's meet in his path to bring the boss down. It is cheesy but it makes sense why it happens in Black Souls 2 if you've played it but I am not going to spoiler it.

TL;DR Batter had plenty of OC where he did rounds solo without the help of schizo's and Garland is most likely the source of Power of Friendship paranoia.

I think the stupidest thing about Jack-Off was how early on in the tournament, people talked about an idea of Garland transforming into Chaos if he made it to the finals like what happened at the end of Stranger of Paradise, and then by the time the finals hit, his last opponent is a force of chaos.

This could work seeing as Raiden gets new weapons in MGR after beating certain bosses, although it's because of Doktor making them out of data rather than as a gesture of respect outside of Sam. I don't think the idea of someone using weapons or items from their past opponents is necessarily a bad idea, it just depends on the execution and the characters involved.

I don't think Battler was a bad candidate only towards the ending of Loser's Bracket. I do enjoy his funposts in moderation and his campaign made me kek several times. His matchup with 47 was lackluster which I can kind of understand since it was a 4 way match rather than a more 1v1 experience. I can also get why this would anger some people because it was thematic bs for TFRfags but he was doing fine during main and lost fairly to #1 seed by >1VOTE lmao.

I don't have anything against Hugh but it was absolutely bizarre seeing him do as well as he did. To this day I don't get it, was there some big Hugh Neutron meme circulating in 2020 that I didn't know about?
>>110896
I think that's a good point though I'd also disagree with
>>110894 and say if a character beats a bunch of mid-low seeds into the Elite Eight in a randomized bracket it doesn't make him any worse as long as the character himself is good. Either way I hope we at least get the chance to vote on returning to normal seeding, if it passes cool and if it doesn't at least we were the ones who decided to keep it and not NSA trying to force it.

I don't see anything wrong with shonen bullshit, since it's basically letting anons who supported your opponent to support you. It's fine in places where it's applicable. Most doesn't really care about tournament results after everyone they were interested in are out. Not all of them is done good, but it's whatever. I really enjoyed ones that utilise deflated opponents as slaves: Hat Kid in previous year ( even if it doesn't make sense) and Eggman's robotisation in 2021. I would do similarly if I could actually draw.

I'm wary of anything that lets characters who lost stick around, as it opens the door for attentionfagging and other funposting. plus I don't think shonen bullshit could ever work on /co/ because the voters there value a character's individual merits more than the narrative around them. you can make friends, find love, and sway the voters of the opponents you defeat to your bandwagon. but in the bracket, you stand alone.

The suspicion is not just that Wuya was rigged in the finals, it's that her (and Eris' by extension) entire run might have been unnatural and pre-planned in advance, possibly with rigging throughout the entire tourney. With Zim it's easier to buy he'd get to the finals naturally.

Funnily enough, the character that is analogous to the Judge in /a/ in Yujiro Hanma. They’re unnatural and uncanny humans bordering on being demonic. They’re completely in control in every room they’re in, unstoppable forces of nature that puts fear even in the most deranged and brave hearts. They venerate savagery and cruelty, they philosophize what’s right and wrong in their off-set morals and kill just because they’re felt like that for the moment.
Yujiro also raised Baki in near shocking similarity to what the Judge said on how to raise a child

He most certainly would respect him in the same manner he did Musashi, of which the Judge would not really care. Yujiro would also see the Judge as competition which would end up in both of them squaring up. Who’d win is entirely up in interpretation of what the judge is.

It's more than that. Ultimately, Monster has Johan confront his Nihilism, as the story's conclusion emphasizes him to be more than simply a force of nature but a person whose humanity was buried deep inside him.

Geralt's neat but I gotta be real, I don't at all think he would've been finalist contender like Eggman would, especially not in a year as stacked as 2023 with drawfags just going nuts.
Although wonder how things would've gone in a Wario vs Geralt match.
Alex and Geralt I maintain is just stupid, Alex would've either been spitevoted hard and Geralt wouldn't have done much to reach elite 8, killing his momentum, or Alex make it to finals like Jack Frost and cause a real wet-fart ending again

Even if Geralt had several dedicated artists and a campaign even more strong and active than he did in 2023, I'd doubt Geralt would've been able to crack more than quarter-finals at MOST. /v/ is very bitter about Witcher 3 and finds excuses to bitch and moan about it in every given opportunity. Witcher 1 and 2 are for god knows why, more generally liked in the board despite being the clearly inferior products to the the third installment in every aspect possible. So it isn't like /v/ would find a way to spitevote Geralt in every opportunity.

But the hypothetical question of weather or not Geralt beating Eggman would matter is I think it would be a total coin-flip on weather or not Alex also won. On tails, it would've been very likely Geralt names would be stained forever if he and Alex won because he would forever be associated with metagaming and probably be spited to hell and back without mercy. He'd reach Elite Eight but I'd doubt he'd have a chance of beating Kiryu due to the natural powerhouse he is and the spite that would've followed Geralt.
On heads, If Wario and Geralt fought instead Alex, we'd probably get something else entirely. Geralt had a lot of hype and support gain by simply the forum glitch that happened, if he beat Eggman he would've been hyped to the heavens and back and probably gain a massive following for slaying the unstoppable force. I'd wager that Wario would've won this match still but depending on how much hype Geralt would've got, this would've been a close call and would've made Geralt a borderline powerhouse the following tourney much like AM.

As he sits currently, he has chances of being a mid-carder that has extremely good chances at the sweet 16 if he gets nominated alongside other witcher picks.

It's a shame that some solid picks are just doomed because a fair portion of /v/ just decided to be harder on their games over others. The fact Geralt STILL cracked Round 3 last year is quite commendable at least, so maybe he can really break through to become a future elite. That said, I do sadly agree on QF likely being his ceiling barring a lot falling in the right places.

Honestly? Yeah, I can agree to that. It's weird because /co/ does generally do well on newcomers, but if you're considered a tainted series then you're absolutely shit out of luck. That's not to mention that /co/ definitely has more bias to a certain time period and company even with /v/ having some trends now.

I digress. Witcher threads are made daily on /v/ and memes and spite that follow is what fuels /v/ as a board. We tourney goers might have this autistic obsession with him being a book originated character, but rest of /v/ know Geralt by being on a video game cover and deciding to meme on it. It won the GOTY award after all, while being in competition with big titles like MGSV, Fallout 4 and Bloodborne. And absolutely mogged them all in awards

Getting something off my chest here from when this was the controversial tournament takes thread
Anybody else find the whitelist to be a really entitled and obnoxious concept?
Like, every year we have hundreds of great characters who are inarguably /co/ or inarguably /v/ qualify who still haven't won, and hundreds more that despite best efforts couldn't make the top 128 of their tournaments.
And then along comes some assholes that cry and beg to the hosts
>Look my character doesn't REALLY belong in this and I can't just pick out of 128 entirely legal characters one I like, but trust me they NEED to be in

Here's the thing with me and how I logic this.
If your character, being a definitive /v/ or /co/ media character, isn't capable cracking the qualifiers but a character unrelated to the board not only makes but has a decent seed and following, I will respect the latter more than the former. Because your pick is a definitive character from the media the board represents, it doesn't automatically make it a better contestant in any shape or form. Sometimes a character has roots in other media but has flourished in another media instead which happens but it doesn't inherently make it inferior.

Did 2021 ever mark anything for OFF as a game? I just noticed after side-eyeing it a while that a lot of artwork for OFF came around 2021, usually late november and early december and they had nothing to do with the tournaments.

True. It's so pathetic seeing people try to tack on a personality themselves on what is essentially a blank slate. We're basically just voting for a (most of the time, very annoying) OC at this point. Banning them all would be the best option.

The biggest functionalities IMO that you may notice in more advanced software is layers + transparency lock, essentially allowing you to paint over already painted pixels and things like that. And layers allow you to avoid fucking things up and also play with how it interacts with other layers.
Get used to those two things and the different brushes and you're probably mostly covered.
The other thing I'd recommend looking into how it works is selection tools, most advanced software has both feathering and border growth and a load of other things. CSP for example lets you select to the "darkest pixel" which can really help with quickly getting a basic coloring job done.

IMO Krita is overall as good if not better than CSP sans the point anon already made about the asset store and it's text features(which are genuine dogshit like holy shit) and has some nice features which CSP lacks last I used it. Overall for digital painting I say Krita is the GOAT.

SAI can also excel if what you want is vector stuff, I think for that reason it's a favorite amongst the weeb drawing makers.

The difference is the round 3 massacre in Ko/v/2022 and Tag-Team 2022 were pretty much entirely fan favorites losing to characters with little to no vocal support, whereas /cov/ round 3 was mostly campaigned teams losing to other campaigned teams, the rest of the silent teams got filtered
The only exceptions here where a silent team won over a vocally supported team in this tournament's round 3 that I can think of was Leon/Judy losing to Double D/Peppino and Wario/Eddy losing to Leisure Suit Larry/Quagmire, but otherwise I think we just had a lot of active teams this year and they just sort of ended up taking each other out. Which yeah it sucks to see those teams go but their opponents put in the effort too.

Waluigi got two perfect teams behind his belt. He’s never reaching this level of success again.

I do think people acting like this is going to somehow affect Nintendo’s odds in the main tournaments are pushing it, but I do think that next Co-op and /cov/ winners are less likely to be under their belt off of their streak on /tnt/ this year.

I don't really get where the idea of portraying Madofags as sore losers comes from, anyway. People who hate Recette/Aerd tended to hide behind/weaponize her as yet another reason as to why Recette winning supposedly sucked ("it should have been her!"), but that never seemed to be the case with her genuine supporters.

One autistic pet peeve of mine is how people just blatantly misuse the word "falseflagging". Like, the way people use it is simply not what the word means in any sense.

What "falseflagging" refers to is pretending to be a supporter of something you're against to damage its reputation. People use to refer to any kind of open insult to any character. This is genuinely just false and retarded.

Saying "Grimm is a rigged Discord pick" is not falseflagging, it's just shit-stirring. Now if you avatarfagged as Grimm and openly and smugly talked about having rigged him with your Discord, THAT would be falseflagging.

Know the difference. It could save you from looking retarded.

Typically the word people are looking for is "psyop". Falseflagging is a form of psychological warfare, but not all psyops consist of falseflagging.
When NSA was picking fights with people in the threads, she didn't falseflag for the most part. But she still managed to bring down the threads and make people fight amongst themselves.
This is why one should try not to fall for any attempts at shit-stirring as you put it, because chances are that person is just looking for causing drama.

The female character with the most characterization and weird personality. Her contract voice-lines gave her a whole new personality that we haven't heard before and is a lot more lively than the stern and more professional one in the comics. She's cute and has a fat butt which was considered inadequate at the time
>Administrator
The most iconic announcer in all of video gaming history. If not iconic, one of the most well-voiced on to date. The same voice actor who did GLaDOS, she absolutely gives the announcer a personality that is absolutely unmatched in any video game. She genuinely brings hype in matches when she announces a capture point or cart pushing. End-game announcements are goosebump inducing and I doubt any announcer has ever been capable of doing that.
As a character, she's very mysterious but we know that she's the only person that's above Saxton Hale in terms of status.

>Grimm on the other hand... Is also very much a perpetrator of the power of friendship... But he's a special case because this is literally how he summons friends and allies in Black Souls 2. When fighting the end-boss, grimm summons every ally, foe and friend he's meet in his path to bring the boss down. It is cheesy but it makes sense why it happens in Black Souls 2 if you've played it but I am not going to spoiler it.
You're partially right, but that isn't what happens in the games. BS1 starts off as your regular JRPG, with the caveat that you summon companions instead of having them all at once. Then BS2 rolls along, you can no longer summon companions and have to play through the entire game alone, while the game's atmosphere into horror. Then in ending G/H you can recruit the people you met along the way to help you. This is why Grimm's run - going mostly solo only to summon companions right at the end - is fully valid and in-character. Though I can see why people would see it as incongruous with his previous characterisation.

Reimu probably wouldn't win now either, or at least touhou's particular dominance that year was a one time thing that I don't think Reimu would push past the blowback. The thing with calculating winner strength is there's a bunch of meta complexity past the first years. I don't think it's a problem giving first year winners default title of strongest so long as it's in a straightforward popularity/general likeability sense, ie a traditional board rep. pageant sense.
At best you can go off statistical power and mostly subjectively how unstoppable they were in the context of their winning year. In which case Samus is definitely among the top across all tourneys. In a scenario Samus would have to be put up against succeeding winners the year they won she'd probably lose though. She's lacked presence and significance in tourneys unlike the other first year winners.

That analysis of Reimu being "ackshually technically the strongest winner" from late 2022 was always dubious. It wasn't even based on statistics, since Reimu isn't strongest statistically, but rather on some vague "power scaling" of her beating characters that were somehow determined to be "some of the strongest in tourneys" based on what, a 2-year old history? And it obviously doesn't account for those characters' later performances, either.

Honestly, If I were to measure properly how "strong" a contestant was, I would place these 5 criteria to judge on how actually strong the contestants are

>Seeding
>Performance
>Onboard relevance
>Recurrence
>Thread fanfare
Or S.P.O.R.T. for short.

Seeding is easy to understand, its how much votes the contestant gets during the qualifier rounds which is a good telling on who might be a strong and fan-supported contestant. It will not be correct 100% of time as there are definite outliers but most of the time the top 10 seeds always perform well.

Performance is basically how well they perform during the tournament rounds and against other contestants. This varies greatly from contestant to contestant depending on the bracket luck. A character who makes a deep run but had a piss-easy bracket isn't comparable to a character who also made a deep run but had to contend with powerhouses and heavy campaigns. This also ties with Recurrence as it shows how consistently that said character performs.

Onboard relevance is the reason why these tourneys are held in 4chan board in the first place. It can also refer to overall relevance as a character and how familiar people are with said character. The character can have a low-seeding but be extremely familiar with the general fanbase which makes some low-seeders have more impact on their performance.

Recurrence is something that many of you might be wondering why it matters. In my opinion, it matters as it can properly judge weather or not certain characters runs and performances were legitimate and mark them as powerhouses or just simply a fluke that can be hardly repeated. It can also refer to how frequently character qualify for these tournaments and basically ties to every single other criteria in here. Recurrence in my opinion is among the most important part of S.P.O.R.T. as it essentially tells us how consistent a contestant is within these tournaments.

And lastly and not the least, Thread Fanfare.
This includes how much activity, OC and campaign a contestant manages to accumulate during the tournaments and within the threads. It is among the weaker ones but also one of the most notable ones as it can legitimately help a contestant break a tie or push an already powerful contestant further than it could logically.

>How I'd rate weather or not a character is strong?
This is entirely subjective and I am doing it for shits and giggles but it is somewhat fun considering we have quite a way until the main tournaments start but the way I'd rate on weather or not a character is legitimately strong is by points.
>Seeding
I'd give a top-seeder 10 points and lowest seeds 1 point. Simple.
>Performance
Quite a bit more complicated but simpler at the same time. Winners simply get 10 points as they've won a tourney, but others we need to see on weather or not they've been consistently strong and defeated other contestants without breaking a sweat. For example, I'd give Chel 10 points because she holds the highest landslide win to date and she's one of the few characters to make E8 thrice. Meantime I'd give Battler 1 point because he's consistently shown to be an utter jobber.
>Onboard relevance
Really goes on which characters get the most attention on their respective boards and how well known they are. Eggman is a definitive 10 as he's one of the most iconic villains in media on both /co/ and /v/ without a question of a doubt. I'd give 1 point to probably Rebecca as she's not /v/ relevant and nobody wanted her to ever participate in these tourneys.
>Recurrence
Basically just estimates how often you qualify and how consistently you perform. Pacifica would be a perfect 10 because despite being a midcarder she is one of the most consistent characters with performance in the entire tournaments. Someone with 1 point would be Black Canary who made it to the elite eight and failed to qualify ever since.
Note: characters who win in their first year get a 0. They have absolutely no recurrence to speak of.
>Thread fanfare
I don't even need to elaborate on this one. Characters like Fang or Batter who have record high OC get a 10 while countless other characters who are forgotten get a 1.

That's cool and good for getting something resembling an objective estimate, but like I said there's the problematic meta factor that can distort things. It can cause weird shit like a character that went through a power bracket meeting a character that went through an easy one in finals and losing to them, and you'd probably get a situation where a runner-up ranks higher than the winner that beat them (like the two Eggman finals).
>characters who win in their first year get a 0

>a combination of Thread Fanfare and Recurrence
I could accept that.
Another maybe minor point is there's another highlight to how difficult placing first years are, being that thread fanfare wasn't a comparatively huge factor in the inaugural years as it was pretty much a different kind of tourney. Also I think recurrence could be calibrated somewhat on placement rather than pure consistency. Pacifica being a consistent midcard feels more like 8-9. Someone getting R1 every year like Wuya did would be like a 7. Roll or Kiryu being a consistent E8 in every performance is definitely a 10. A character appearing every year and getting significantly higher placements or then winning like Grimm would be 9-10 depending if they were a consistent lowcard or midcard before then.

Bad example, Battler would be like a 4, he got to round 3 and almost did it twice but lost by two votes and then won the losers bracket
A real 1 point would be Banjo, he loses round 1 every time and usually gets like 25% of the vote. And no he's not 0 points because that would be reserved for characters who never get past qualifiers like RWBY

Jucika unfortunately got wrapped up in the Peru scandal so she's never getting E8 again.

I guess Gertrude and Cheesecake COULD qualify if things went right, but I wouldn't bet on it.

Also didn't that chick from Penny Arcade get in at some point?

Nah.
Closest she got was piggybacking off the Star and God Emperor threads /co/ was doing at the time and using it to get into Tag Team Tournament(later becoming the first victim of the Wilkins Arc).

So yeah Gertrude is PROBABLY tied to Temp directly if I know who's who's correctly.

I mean, Banjo at least qualifies ever year. The weakest would be some rando that qualifies once, loses R1 and never returns.

Literally any character who never has qualified in the top 128, especially if they are lower half
Anyone who actually makes it to top 128 even just once isn't the weakest by a long shot

Also weirdly enough, the ONLY homestuck rep to have ever qualified. You’d think in a tourney where dbzshitters can spam and OC is rampant there’d be quite a few of them but there hasn’t been any.

I am not even a snootfag but I legitimately think Fang should be a 9 or a 10. GVH was made famous nearly exclusively from 4chan, /v/ is even responsible for creating Snoot Game.

This system is too subjective, I propose a more objective system to rank characters into performance categories
Just take any character who has qualified 2+ times and take the average round a character finishes in, if they fall under the following that is what they classify as:
1-1.9: Early round fodder/jobber
2-3.4: Midcard/highly varying performance
3.5-4.5: Strong performing character
4.6+: Powerhouse
Examples of each:
>Omni-Man (1), Black Hat (1.6), Anne Boonchuy (1.8)
>Donald Duck (2.8) Pacifica Northwest (3), Johanna (3.3)
>Toph (3.6), Doofenshmirtz (3.8), EVE (4.25)
>Samurai Jack (5), Chel (5.3), Hank Hill (5.5)
Winners are the highest category by default but you can use this metric to see what they fell under when they won. Naturally this isn't indicative of how well a character WILL perform or even necessarily how popular they are, but it's a good way of objectively classifying characters under sheer tournament performance.

The most confusing/subjective thing to me is the relation between performance and recurrence. They seem to be basically hand in hand but the original anon proposed a 10 for basically keeping the same round every time even if it were a midcard round. To what degree should being recurrently fodder level equal recurrently strong on the criteria? and how does it factor varying performance levels from a character over the years (like Toph going from semi's, to consistent jobber, to semi's)?

This performance comparison does not work under the randomized seeding format, since that heavily skews characters like Black Hat, Livesey or Optimus Prime who get "graced" with facing 100 seeds only for 3-4 rounds by NSA's choice

Weren’t tophfags silent up until like round three last year?

Anyways, while Toph does have a great record she ain’t a 47. That’s almost perfect and should go to actual winners.

Black Hat still gets classified as a jobber regardless so I don't see what the issue is there
In 2022 Livesey only barely made it past 112 seed Dexter and then lost to another triple digit (Max) anyways, in 2023 he beat hyped up 20 seed PiB Death (actually a higher seed than the 26th seed hugh who he'd faced if it were traditional), then barely beat 32 seed Popeye and barely lost to 7 seed Hank, so I don't think it's a seed issue there
Optimus still comes out as a midcarder too when you average his results (3.3)
I get you just wanted an excuse to shit on randomized brackets, though these examples are kind of irrelevant to the point you wanted to make about the performance comparison

if it was a decade ago homestuck would get reps easy, but it's past its prime and keeps shitting the bed the longer it goes on. the people who used to like it now hate it, and the people who used to hate still hate it.

I don't think so. Of all the "FARTS" she was the one that gets actual support, she just kept losing early.
But you're right she should be scored a little lower. Performance and recurrence are like 8 when you factor in her long jobber slump and fanfare also an 8.
