WHERE THE FUCK IS GOKU?

Phoenix Wright, Hank Hill, and Kenshiro should share a beer now.

>>137289
He's already on it >>137281
These Things, They Take Time.

POST YOUR FUARKING VILL/a/INS

>/dbs/ lost
Yup, they will never win.

>>137303
didn't they win the Shitpost Showdown?

All the people obsessing over /dbs/ just hate Dragon Ball and use the general on /a/ as a strawman to try and make their hateboner seem more reasonable.

>>137303
God, you people are retarded.

Faylan - Ai wo Torimodose!!

>>137290
gone

>>137300
Well that explains why he lost

>>137303
>Piccolo was running with his own campaign free of /dbs/ while /dbs/posting was being done for Goku and Vegeta who didn't even qualify
>/dbs/ had a hate thread for Piccolo going on during the finale
>you still claim Piccolo was a /dbs/ meme pick
What is your problem?

>>137316
Godzilla is too good to be a villain though.

>>137319
I hate dragon ball

>>137323
Called it. >>137306

The real Heroes of /a/ were the friends we made along the way

>>137320
well I forgot to nominate Godzilla-Kun for heroes so he'll have to be in villains as his God version

>>137330
oh yeah Godzilla Earth exists which also counts as a villainous anime Godzilla

>>137330
Shin Godzilla isn't evil though, he's just too fucked up by the radiation to really think about what he's doing, he's more like a wild animal in severe pain and is lashing out, rather than a being with a personality like the average Godzilla incarnation.

It was great to finally get something involving /a/ off the ground. Hope everyone had fun. Few things now:

Firstly Villains of /a/ is scheduled for July 26th. Apologies if this seems maybe a week later than the optimal date, but it's when I think I'll be available. As far as I'm aware no one's planned any other tourneys from now to the beginning of the main tourneys (ms. /co/ probably the first week of September like usual).

Secondly like samaritanon I'll poll the future of Heroes/Villains at the end of the next Villains. I pretty much figured the /a/ one's as being a one-shot but it could happen again, or stuff like team /a/ tourneys or maybe a heroes/villains of another board could happen instead. Lot of potential things to fill places next year.

Thirdly there seemed to be a lot of controversy over the inclusion of certain funpost characters at the start. I thought it wasn't a big deal at the time (being a not-so-serious side tourney) but perhaps it was wrong to let them through. For villains I could add something like "no funpost or parodic stand-ins of real life people."

>>137330
I've watched plenty of Goji and only SP and Earth count for /a/.

>>137333
>I'm not fucking anime
What about Chiaki

>>137331
/tnt/ anons have been utterly mindbroken by meta arguments and the illusion of "criteria" characters have to fulfill.

>>137333
But didn't he review Fist of the North Star? Actually he did.

>>137329
>>137333
I just remembered he reviewed the Fist of the North Star NES game.

>>137338
Damn, July 26th is right on the week when I go on vacation to another country.

>>137333
Based...

>>137338
Sounds good, thanks for everything bro

Nostalgia Critic was kino here, him and AVGN should be allowed in every tournament desu

dbs arguing aside, I think the results this tourney have been pretty satisfactory. I'd say it decently approximates the kind of results /a/ itself would have (with a few weird exceptions). I was imagining Kenshiro vs. Guts as the finale, but once Guts was out Kenshiro just seemed like the apparent choice to me. He fits a title like hero of /a/ to a T. No surprise he won. He's a good candidate for winning a full-on King/Mr. /a/ if it ever happened too.

>>137355
Wrong. The only person allowed in every tourney is Eggman.

>>137357
The critic is next

>>137338

>Firstly Villains of /a/ is scheduled for July 26th. Apologies if this seems maybe a week later than the optimal date, but it's when I think I'll be available. As far as I'm aware no one's planned any other tourneys from now to the beginning of the main tourneys (ms. /co/ probably the first week of September like usual).

Okay, I'm good with that. We all needed a little break.

>Secondly like samaritanon I'll poll the future of Heroes/Villains at the end of the next Villains. I pretty much figured the /a/ one's as being a one-shot but it could happen again, or stuff like team /a/ tourneys or maybe a heroes/villains of another board could happen instead. Lot of potential things to fill places next year.

Sounds good, maybe we could have an /a/ Tag-Team in the future, or even a Heroes/Villains /tv/.

>Thirdly there seemed to be a lot of controversy over the inclusion of certain funpost characters at the start. I thought it wasn't a big deal at the time (being a not-so-serious side tourney) but perhaps it was wrong to let them through.

Just get rid of the Bystanders and you're good to go. Those guys really have no place in the tournaments.

>>137356
He'll only win the first Mr/King of /a/ if there's no rampant meta faggotry or rigging going on, if the first tournaments on /a/ itself are anything like current /co/ and /v/ tournaments they'll spite out all the popular picks for absurdly petty or retarded reasons or will vote out their popular picks in favor of OOC campaigning that may as well be attributed to any character.

>>137356
Same.
>>137331
I said besides other things because I know Hokuto and I've watched and enjoyed the series. Of course only the classic anime. Anything past that not at all

>>137363
>Critic beat Goku in Barred
>Critic (technically) beat Goku here by lasting longer than him
He truly is stronger...

>>137357
Should his movie version be allowed in /tv/ too?

>>137353
Yes but he doesn't fucking originate in manga you idiot. Otherwise I guess Deadpool is fair game for vill/a/ins now?

>>137367
Nostalgia critic and Nerd

>>137368
Don't forget if they're joke characters that aren't liked fuck en

>>137369
This doesn't change Goji from broadly being a /tv/ character. If you wanna use Goji you have to use a manga/anime derivative that's actually unique like Urobuchi's version. Otherwise you may as well open up anything that has manga and is Japanese.

>>137367
What type of fucking comparison is that? Godzilla is a modern japanese culture staple. Deadpool is a western /co/ character that originated in america and didn’t get his first /a/ appearance until the 2000s. Godzilla’s first manga debut was in 1954. 2 years after Astro Boys appearance.

>>137371
>Straight people finding on-model adult characters sexually attractive? Based coompick
>Furries and gay/bi people finding on-model adult characters sexually attractive? Horrible ccompick

>>137368
In the end, it is simply "I like this character (more than the other)" and "I dislike this character (more than the other)", all the autistic excuses are just that.

>>137373
So? See >>137372
There are /a/ versions of Godzilla, run them instead of some weird amalgam.

>>137374
It's the opposite though

>>137368
>being from the wrong medium is okay if it's /v/ or /co/
Especially if they have a drawfag attached to them like Shou Fu Kan, he's literally Bystander-tier.

>>137374
The former gets spite too.

>>137374
The straight coompicks get more hate than gay coompicks because people can pretend the gay coompicks are funny.

>>137361
First year tourneys were clean for /co/ and /v/. I wouldn't expect meta creep until the 3rd year.

Kenshiro does feel like a very obvious first year winner

>>137374
Literally the opposite.

>>137383
I didn't know we were running /co/ rules in an /a/ tourney.

>>137360
I still think we could get a full-scale /tv/ tournament on /tv/, the mods there don't have huge sticks up their asses like on /a/, and the only reason it didn't work when someone tried last time is because the host had no idea wtf he was doing or what he even wanted the tournament to be so it just fell apart on its own
Obviously there's nowhere in the schedule for this year but I think maybe sometime next year it could happen

>>137385
And what reason is there to change the rules for an /a/ tourney when most of the people on this site are from /co/?

>>137388
You dumbass, this simply isn't a /co/ tournament and the only reason Goji stuff gets into that one is grandfathering. Again, why can't you run the actual /a/ Godzillas and save the other kino ones for /tv/? It's being talked about right now.
Oh and here are the actual rules used for this tourney's nomination which will likely be kept for villains. No mention of the dumb fucking /co/ rules which have been fucked by NSA.
>Character must be freely allowed on /a/. If a character is not originating from anime or manga they should uniquely or primarily be associated with their anime or manga adaptation on /a/ (e.g. LOGH, Welcome to the NHK, various light novels).
>No character debuting within the last month is eligible.
>3 characters per series or franchise are allowed to qualify.
>No board-tans, OC's, or real life people.
>What exactly defines or who qualifies as a "hero," or where morally ambiguous characters fall is up to the nominator's judgement or plans.
>A character that qualifies in heroes of /a/ cannot also qualify for the villains of /a/ tournament later.

>>137386
I think if a /tv/ tourney ever gets tried, there should be a strict rule in every OP against child actors participating (something like "a character is only eligible if their actor was 18 or older by the time they played them"), especially for Ms.

That would cuck some iconic kid protagonists out of participating but would solve the biggest issue with a /tv/ tourney the mods might have.

>>137390
Yeah child actors are a no-go, I rather not have /tv/ tournaments risk drawing pedophiles into the crowd every single year.

>>137390
The simplest path to take in order to avoid what you are meaning is simply not hold a female /tv/ tournament to begin with (I can’t really contemplate it becoming an issue in a male one).

>>137391
/tv/ is a hot spot for pedophiles, it is fucking mental.

>>137389
the real solution is to do what I did in the nominations before realizing I was a retard and just nominate Godzilla as IT as IT is the one in control of Godzilla and is an anime original entity

>>137390
As I’ve previously said time and again, boards that allow generals typically also allow events to be held with asking the mods.
If I were to rank the type of boards that allow tournaments I’d settle to these three criteria

>No need for permission
/an/, /aco/, /tg/, /tv/, etc.

>Needs permission from mods
/co/, /v/ and /mlp/

>Im-fucking-possible
/a/

>>137360
>>137386
Yeah, I'd say either /tv/ or /lit/ would be the best next options for tournaments even if it ended up being only one tournament per board. If that doesn't work, we can always attempt to do Heroes and Villains of /tv/ next year.

>>137395
>No need for permission
>/aco/
Got deleted last year tho.

>>137397
I'm glad to hear that anon. Besides Piccolo, I already mained Dastardly Duo before and they won in Co-op.

>>137397
Well done!

>>137395
>Needs permission from mods
>/mlp/
Nah nobody gives a shit there, there were two Ms. /mlp/ tourneys ran simultaneously in 2022 (one normal and one where matches were decided by gets) and neither ever got deleted

>>137375
In any case, I hope more people stick to that then the autistic debates. It's a lot more productive to say "I like this character because their vidya/animation/comic was really fun" then whatever bullshit people rack their brains over

>>137397
that's what happens when you get a guy with a Ph.D. for mathematical physical to write a Godzilla series with someone probably telling him to make it like Shin Godzilla

>>137395
Bump /aco/ down since the jannies had a meltdown and started mass deleting threads unprovoked last time it was held there
I think /co/ and /v/ go in their own category of "already established on the board so mods tolerate it ONLY during the runtime of the event", /v/ at least is no stranger to this kind of thing with like the /v/GAs which has been a long running tradition on the board so I think allowing tourneys comes easier to them.

>>137395
>/tg/
Funny thing you mention that, board games general had a mini-tournament for the best board game of all time but it was tiny, think the average per round was something like 16-18 votes. I missed it entirely because it was going during a main tourney, I completely missed it. A shame, I might be the only tourneyfag that goes there regularly.
The obvious pick was Pax Renaissance given that's seriously a good third of gameplay discussion in any given thread, personally I'm more of a Pax Pamir guy but it didn't matter because Twilight Struggle won instead. Laaaaaame, should have been a Pax game, a Dune game or War of the Ring.

>>137338
I was initially worried about it being held that day because that is also the same date the Paris Olympic opening ceremony happens(it’s a tradition I always watch these) BUT since it starts at 1:30 and ends around 5:00 est I’m not worried anymore because vill/a/ins starts about over an hour later

>>137407
Yeah, we take it for granted with /co/ sometimes. It's not as bad as /a/, but it's still far more likely we'd see resistance on there than on /v/.

>>137399
Fuck I meant /cov/
>>137404
Gonna take a guess, but did you nominate that boxing character? I remember seeing one in qualifiers

>>137397
>someone I mained finally wins a tournament
I have weird luck where that's happened twice with female characters but not once with a male character, no matter how close. At least counting where I SERIOUSLY mained someone, not just post for them here and there

>>137398
>>137407
We’ve had three years of /aco/ tournaments, one even being before the mainline tournaments even started. The theory why jannies went into meltdown and took down the /aco/ tourney is because of there being held one a few months prior and the fact it had /a/ nominees (which frankly is kinda hypocritical).

>>137390
>>137391
This. I never cared for having a /tv/ tournament because of the potential pedophile problem.
>>137397
Congrats. I'm still waiting for any of my mains to win a tournament.

>>137415
Who did you main here? I can support your pick for villains.
>>137411
>>137397
>>137404
>Kenshiro's appearance was in part inspired by Sylvester Stallone
>AKA Rocky Balboa
Oh I get it now

>>137411
Ippo? Yeah, but I ultimately didn't go through with campaigning for him since there were better characters for /a/ and I'm admittedly more of a Punch-Out!! guy when it comes to stuff about boxing.

>>137414
They also HATE furries, despite the first ever X and R rated movies being furry films. Literally, the birth of "adult cartoons" IS furry. Yet Gookmoot still won't make a furry board, they'd rather overwork jannies pruning anything furry that bleeds out into regular boards because where is it supposed to go?

>>137417
Didn't the Piccoloanon said he rped as the other HnK characters?

>>137422
>Both Piccolo and Frieza became winners and runner-ups before Goku and Bejita
KWAB

>>137422
Gohanbros...

>>137386
>>137390
/tv/ should just have a male-only tournament, there's too much potential there. A female tournament would turn into legitimate mindless cooming but with an extra two layers of weirdness because of them being real actors.

So will you check out anything new from this tourney? I have considered HnK for a while but it's gotta be the manga if I do it.

>>137426
my main's series :)

>>137426
Definitely Vampire Hunter D.

>>137428
Shitgetabro btw

>>137426
The Lupinanon recommended Lupin Zero so I'll watch that soon.

>>137430
*KISSLESSkubro btw

>>137416
I was maining Mineta and drawing for Piccolo. I was also a vocal Bobobo supporter.
>I can support your pick for villains.
Thanks, but I won't be maining anyone in villains because I'll be busy when it happens.

>>137363
Panis Cupcake my beloved

>>137363
The Nerd also won the very first Barred tournament.

>>137426
The D and Galactic Heroes books.

>>137426
Never actually watched Panty & Stocking but I think I will now
Also planning to watch Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo

So who's biting the bullet and making a stealth thread? Are we just waiting for an elite 8 image?

>>137440
I think using an E8 image like the previous ones as the OP might be too risky. Maybe just a simple collage of the eight characters would suffice.

>>137440
Yes but it's better to just post Kenshiro in the OP and then post the E8 as one of the replies.

>>137440
>>137441
>>137442
I'm still working on it

>>137441
Nothing wrong with that drawing the Shinjibro made

Who would be a fitting villain winner? Not asking for metafagging reasons or anything, just curious who comes to mind first like Kenshiro/Guts/etc.

>>137442
That might end up confusing anons and make them think that it's gonna be a FotNS thread.
>>137444
That might work. Maybe.

>>137446
DIO

>>137446
Griffith, Dio, Frieza, Light, Lelouch.

>>137445
9 votes

>>137445
So we all agree Vegeta is not qualifying for Villains right? There are plenty of other decent options for a third spot besides Frieza and Cell

Buu, Cooler, Pilaf, Ginyu, Black (even if Supershit), Broly (even if Saiyanshit), any number of other guys

>>137446
Griffith
Frieza
Yujiro
Dio or Kira
Light

I went to check, and these are the margins by which every champion has won in the finals this year.

>Bumblebees against Chickens was 56.3% out of 87 voters
>Kenshiro against Piccolo was 62.7% out of 59 voters
>Giant Localizers vs. Irate Neighbors was 62.8% out of 76 voters
>Dastardly Duo vs. The Mutineers was 66.3% out of 83 voters
>Knockout Kings against Partners in Crime was 77% out of 87 voters

Pretty sizable margins so far. The smallest percentage for a winner would go to Gold with 52.2% for Gold in the colors tournament, but keep in mind that it was in a three-way with Lime Green (34.8%) and Prussian Blue (13%).

>>137446
Going by how YYH performed here, he's probably not getting too far in Villains, but I feel like no one would take issue if Toguro won.

>>137456
Damn, this really puts into perspective how much Mac and Doc curbstomped the Wario Bros.

I'm still digging through a perfect background image. Man, the post-apocalyptic world in HnK just feels like an entire different planet. It has a beautifula aesthetic to it

>>137464
I feel bad Wario hasn't gotten the same luck yet. You helped me with Waluigi, I want to keep helping Wario in King, it's just that the mindset about their winners there hasn't really been that diverse compared to Mr. /co/ with its winners.

>>137469
D's a legend though. It wouldn't surprise me if he made E8 on normal /a/. I expected him to beat Bobobo, but then almost definitely get walled by Kenshiro.

>>137469
The second OVA is really, really good. Basically everybody that's seen it is going to vote for him because of it. I haven't even touched the novels, I was just going off of both that and the 80's film but they're good enough to vote for him because of them.

>>137469
I nominated him because I liked the movie from the 80s and Bloodlust looks really cool. Also I bought the 1st volume omnibus a week ago. I just found it while browsing B&N.

>>137446
Frieza, Dio, Griffith, Light and Lelouch would all be good /a/ villain winners.

I'm glad I nominated bobo-bo

>>137486
I'm glad you did too, the stuff with him was hilarious

>>137487
Nta but agreed. He didn't deserve the bullshit anons pulled on him later

>>137488
>W*man
Not gonna happen. Not even Elite 8.

Just Shinji and D left to include. Almost finished

>>137446
Everyone's said the most obvious picks but i'll say Meruem and Johan are good E8's.
On this subject I can't think of literally any girls that have a remote shot at this. MAYBE a few at E8 (Homura, Haruko, Ragyo?) but I wouldn't count on it.

>>137509
This is solid as hell.

>>137509
Why Shini looks so gay?

>>137512
He's gay or at the very least BI

>>137512
That's just how he normally looks like.

>>137509
Very nice

>>137509
based

I think the final round would have been more exciting (no pun intended) if it was Kenshiro defeating Goku

>>137522
nah, he looks breedable in that one

>>137522
I think it's just the background that kind of messes with it. It looks fine

>>137523
Exactly.

>>137509
Nice!

>>137509
Kino

>>137521
Kenshiro vs Piccolo is more thematic though.

>>137532
You're just making him more breedable

>>137538
>mfw I’m a bad E8

>>137539
No one was talking about EVE until you brought her up.

>>137539
>t. Komodo Dragon

>>137509
Shinji is good as is, don't change him.

>>137539
>t. Mr. Incredible

>>137539

>>137539
t. The Belmonts

>>137547
Bejita isn't even E8

>>137539
>t. Final Destination

>>137536
What's the theme?

>>137547
>not even E8 and already knows he's bad

>>137539
t. Johnny Bravo

>>137539
Hi Chicken

>>137549
Jokes aside, Luigi has only grown more based since making Elite Eight.

>>137546
Hello Belmonts

>>137554
Hello Johnny

>>137548
he was in the Shitpost Showdown and yet he still lost for 3rd place

>>137556
Like I said, I have a suspicion the guy who keeps raving about him and Mr Incredible is just trying to get people to vote for them out of spite.

>>137556
...according to my headcanon, of course
