/tnt/ - Tournaments & Events

alright last tripfag post
thanks for coming everyone, last thread was fun and I hope to see you all again next year

Alright boys
What are your thoughts on NSA as a host
Have they changed, or are they still the same

>>15642
He’s a bit better now, but he still has a long way to go until he redeems himself.

>>15642
He needs to stop giving the non vidya characters leeway

>>15703
Yugi and Grimm
That shit was funny as fuck

>>15642
Still a dickhead but still the best there is, unless Balls becomes main host or something.

>>15712
It's mostly likely gonna be Balls who takes over for NSA
He seems like the only one who actually wants to run these
Unlike NSA who feels like he needs to

>>15595
I’m still mad at Administrator losing to the argonian maid.

>>15722
Hopefully balls supports my character next time

>>15717
FUCKING SAVED

>>15728
Perfect ending

>>15728
Absolutely wonderful.

>>15703
Grimm's cum dungeon was definitely the highlight but I enjoyed the robot invasion the most. Terminator Chris and AM vs Wesker was pure cinematography. I'm also glad that Battler's redemption arc happened.

>>15595
Another year nearly over, another tournament season concludes. Well wasn’t that a ride now was it, ms /co/ was the same as usual but various riggers having been exposed making sure they don’t pull off anymore tricks, also fang gang can retire now. Mr /co/ was flat out amazing with its randomized brackets, there were disappointments with some fan favorites being eliminated earlier than usual like Wallace and kermit but saw the rise of more underrated characters that otherwise would’ve gotten eliminated much faster like rango, dr livesly who proved he wasn’t just a FOTM entirely like omni man, some amazing matchups, and of course zorak being a true winner that nobody expected. Perfectly balanced. Queen /v/ was alright because I didn’t really go through it all that much but king /v/ was something that truly impressed me, I have a funny feeling the /v/ tourneys are more popular than the /co/ ones at this point with especially with video oc. Great job as usual everyone, until next year, have a good one

>>15703
one anon turning Captain Falcon from a boring pick to kino

>>15738
...

>>15717
Oh nice! Happy you were able to come back and get the complete version together.

>>15649
Yeah, sorry I had to go with the older draft in the final afterparty. This turned out fantastic!

We have Eggman and the Judge against Batter and now the Warrior of Light himself, JC, and the others against Jack Garland. Is Battler considered Lufenian at this point or still affiliated with JG?

>>15732
Beatiful.

>>15750
Ah okay, yeah that makes sense.
>Battler had that Milhousefag ruining his chances.
What was up with that guy? Dude was Ladyfag-tier levels of faggotry and wouldn't stop spamming a forced meme. Here's hoping he doesn't come back next year.

>>15595
Can anyone link the final afterparty thread, if they had it open?

>>15738
I can't fucking believe Captain Falcon became a schizobro

>>15758
https://boards.4channel.org/v/thread/621702802/king-of-v-2022-after-party-finale
https://arch.b4k.co/v/thread/621702802/

>>15760
Thanks a lot, Anon

So in one of the /v/ threads I purposed an idea for the kings
I call it Emperor/Empress of /v/
Basically it's like the actual tourneys. But instead 128 contestants, 10 Kings/Queens duke it out to be crowned Emperor/Empress
This of course will only work when we hit the 10 year anniversary of these things, but that's kind of the point
It would be a thing that would only take place once a decade
Thoughts. You like the idea, or do you think it's a little too excessive to have the previous winners to run again

>>15728
Shed a tear, pure kino screengrab

just noticed but there's been no mention of the tournaments this year on Bibliotheca Anonoma

>>15732
kino...

>>15769
>I hope Battler does better next year cause I had a lot of fun campaigning for him and making dumb shit
I'll be right there with you brother, I've already got a Battler folder formed for this years King of /v/ and some leftovers from when I was able to watch TFR, going to give this autism one last go in 12 months from now to get Battler into the Top 8.

>>15772
Before the tournament started I said I wouldn’t vote for Battler because Beatrice hasn’t been able to break her Round 2 curse yet, but now I’m ready to campaign for both next year. I really hope they can go far.

>>15774
I will nominate Kazooie. She's funny to campaign.

>>15762
The idea of an elite-elite 8 has floated around for a while. That would work better as a tourney format, and you wouldn’t have to wait as long. 3 more years for /co/, 4 for /v/.

>>15780
I think it will most definitely be 8 instead of 10
thing is too it can be put into 4 separate tournaments
you've got the 8 kings and 8 queens, a free for all and either a randomized tag-team or each years king/queen teaming up

>>15783
If you really think about it, you’re absolutely correct. Jack may have been featured in a more recent game but he’s still the very same tin tyrant from the original 80s NES game.

>>15768
It isn't hard to make an account there. If you wanna add it to the history, go ahead.

Did Barred even get a victory screen?

>>15786
Been working on it here and there. Got a page for Garland done at least. May properly record the non-E8 brackets over the next couple days.

>>15785
huh
I think I will actually, thanks anon

>>15805
On that note, anon noted that we should probably get drawn victory screens for Samus/Armstrong and Reimu/Dante eventually. Get some consistency.

>>15810
Roland qualified this year and lost to Cuphead...

>>15811
All Roland need is an active campaign. Something that didn't happen this year.

>>15810
I think Roland will definitely qualify next year since he manages to do well in qualifiers (he was seed 47 this year), but he's stuck in round 1 hell for now. Maybe he'll do well next year if the gacha doesn't obliterate the PM fanbase.

Am I the only one who thought this Garland thing was forced and inorganic? Other candidates had good campaigns before getting snubbed by off topic shit throughout the tournament. One of his fanboys lashed out at Batter's campaign and called it underwhelming compared to theirs. The videos were good but the constant spam ad nauseum was getting very old.

>>15786
Someone really needs to update Grimm's page.

>>15818
Even Midna's page needs to be updated.

>>15815
>Garland thing was forced and inorganic
That's because his campaign had already been prepared a year ago.
>One of his fanboys lashed out at Batter's campaign and called it underwhelming
That retard (if he wasn't simply a newfag) was most likely someone still assblasted about Batter's victory who just latched onto Jack.

>>15815
I liked it at first but towards the end I kinda got tired of it. Out of the Elite Eight I liked Travis and Wesker's campaign a lot more. Wesker had some fun stuff going on with the Rule 63 harem and his rivalry with Chris in the earlier rounds, while Travis had a lot of love and passion put into him and his OC. Not saying that wasn't there with the other Elite Eight, but it was most prevalent with Travis. I still like Jack and voted for him but campaign-wise there was definitely better this year.

>>15815
Part of the issue is Jack won the whole tournament in Round 3. Most of the Top 8 only woke up in post-Round 3 so Jack won by momentum, meanwhile any potentially long running campaigns just fucking died in Round 3 leaving no one to really compete against his momentum. I'm still annoyed about Christopher Robin having a nuts round 3 followed by doing absolutely nothing in round 4, could have been cool to see him go against Jack but I guess Battler was more threatening.

>>15823
>Most of the Top 8 only woke up in post-Round 3
I can’t agree with this. Phoenix, AM, Wesker and Travis had been campaigning since the very beginning of the tournament and only got stronger as the rounds progressed. I could even argue in favor of JC even if he got far less funposting and OC.
Most of the E8 had a strong campaign going for them, it’s just that most people chose to ignore it for some fucking reason.

>>15824
>AM
>Wesker
Absolutely
>Travis
I expected way more from such a well liked character, he should've been on the level of AM and Wesker but unfortunately he didn't have a story arc.
>Phoenix
Phoenixfags were a major let-down for me this year. The CAM ON guy was their most memorable poster, half of their OC was done by the their opponents and fucking none of them bothered to make a fire tribute, come on how can you not do it with a name like that.
>JC
Yeah he was carried by frogbro. What a shame.

>>15826
They really should made that arson tribute. But I still don’t know how the fuck Nick lost to Jack Frost.

>>15829
Red's body arrived too late for the judgement.

>>15833
JC is more well known than AM and Deus Ex is one of /v/'s favorite games, so I'm not that surprised that he got 3rd. As for Courage yeah I dunno. I always preferred Eustace over him.

>>15834
All of AM's are opponents are arguably better known than him, that argument doesn’t really work againts him. But now that I look back into it, JC's performance was very weird overall this year; he did Montezuma's Revenge on both Snake and Travis with little to no campaigning and very far into the tourney as well. Guess these things are bound to happen from time to time.

>>15815
I don't disagree, honestly Jack campaign to me just felt like constant spam of ritualposting and barely anything else aside from wrestling promos. It could have been better instead with fallen opponent joining his quest against Chaos, but that didn't even happened. Not to mention other contestant who have good and active campaigns got snuffed out, leaving only like 2-3 characters at best that has chance against him.

>>15836
I think Grimm jobbing early was bound to happen (same with the Faith and Disco reps) but Jesus Christ, Scout and Battler were a fucking tragedy. I'm not sure if they would have been able to defeat Jack but they went out too soon.

>>15838
>implying NightShift will be hosting next year

>>15839
that'd be too good to happen, unless he mysteriously vanished after Mrs and someone else takes over we'll probably be stuck with him for another year

>>15837
>Not sure if they would have been able to defeat Jack
Possibly, but probably not. I felt like Jack has many fans from the get go (He's literally #5 seed) and he won the moment he took down Doomguy. Scout unironically did his gimmick better with just N alone and Battler has shit tons of stuff to pull from. Round 3 was bad for tournament overall.

>>15837
If AM couldn't beat Jack in the semi-finals neither could have they, IMO. I can't believe I'm saying this but I wish I had voted for Doomguy if I knew the finals would be this underwhelming.

>>15837
>Scout
I think he could've made it to finals considering both his popularity as a character and his high-quality campaign, but vs. Jack I don't think he would win unless he got a lot more people joining Scoutbro in his campaign.
>Battler
I love Battler but he would've been fucked against Jack. Even if both him and 47 made it to quarter-finals, I don't think that would boost his chances.

>>15835
>Little to no campaigning
Do you have anything to back that up?

>>15836
The most funny thing about Jack was the part where retard complained how AM is impossible to make "vs" OC if you're rooting for the other guy with how every AM's OC is one sided in his favour, when literally every Jack's OC was one sided for Jack

>>15846
AM and Chris were too based. I wanted more of this but semi finals turned into a mess. I was thinking Warrior of Light interfering and using AM to troll Jack and expose him as true chaos.

>>15847
>expose him as true chaos.
Ah shit yeah, that didn't happened as well, the whole turning into Chaos for the final round thing.

>>15833
Shipping with Shirley.

>>15850
But Shirley was second place!

Is it funny that Jack parallels to the Batter in a way that they both hyperfixiate on one purpose only to end up being the villain in the end?

>>15853
>t. Pablo.

>>15703
>BANS story
still no idea what the fuck that is

>>15780
But we have repeated Elite 8 members. What to do with them? Replace them with whoever they beat to get into Elite 8 the second time?

>>15844
JC did have some art but he was mostly carried by Frogbro as another anon said. His supporters were chill but didn’t do much of anything compared to the others.
Honestly the entire Elite Eight is all over the place, what the fuck went so wrong?

>>15817
>they would notice his campaign was far from being the best or even the most prominent in terms of writefagging and art.
No, it was definitely the most prominent. Every single thread had a massive amount of Jack posting, something no other contestant can really brag.

>>15835
JC was a total silent majority pick but no one really complained since he's also a generally well-liked character. But he's not going to win with a campaign like this any time soon.

>>15867
Most of Fang's campaign was also spamming le funny xd cloaca memes.

>>15866
JC had a dedicated draw base. Check the new booru plus. There were like 3-4 people taking requests and communicating with each other while the competition was on going. They just wrote less and stood in their own lane.

>>15868
Lol no. Pretty much every contestant has shit posting around them, but Fang is the second champion with the most art (almost 200 posts), and not just speaking of numbers but some pretty high quality stuff too.

>>15871
All I remember for 2022 is that one guy who kept drawing her with her opponents. Aside from that a bunch of funposting.

>>15872
At least bother to check the booru, there’s a reason why we try to compile all of the original content made during the tourneys.
https://msco.booru.org/index.php?page=post&s=list&tags=fang

>>15876
>Weskerfag who didn't expect to lose the quarterfinals to AM and regretted drawing those dumb porn pictures in compensation
I think it's I who didn't get who was that Wesker. Post example of his OC.

>>15874
Isn't most of this from her original run?

>>15881
I did the count. 72 images are from this year, the rest from 2020, so you are right in that retread. It’s still a shit ton of art.

>>15833
Courage was #1 seed. Any victory of his wouldn’t have been surprising.

Oh yeah. Does anyone have a link to Scout anon's game? I wanna play it.

>>15885
KING OF /V/ 2022 - SCOUT BATTER ROBO AMV
Here in the description

>>15893
there's nothing stopping us from still drawing it

>>15877
>>15878
>>15879
>>15880
I made these. I didn’t complain about AM. I drew these before his match with Wesker. I usually try to draw whatever contestant got little artwork. I stopped when people took it the wrong way. I was going to draw for him in his match with Jack. Until AM’s supporters got upset at the people upset at AM, and I got caught in the crossfire by mistake.
I actually drew AM on the map too. The guy who complained was angry about Vergil.
I realized after drawing AM it hurt the support for my character so I said I’d stop drawing others when my character is in the running. I’m probably going to refrain from drawing AM ever again since I got nothing but vitriol from them for doing it.

>>15904
Hi, AM supporter here. Me and others actually really liked those pillar porn doodles, we just tried to argue in favor of our guy as best as we could when the complaints started to go down. It’s truly a shame if you got caught in the crossfire by mistake. I honestly thought AM would lose the round to Wesker because some Vergilfags would inmediatly spitevote againts him but it seems we only reached boiling point in the semis.
When 2024 comes around I will try my hardest to drawfag for both of them since they might as well be the only guys I want to see go far again (Phoenix too but he has it really tough unless a good main AA game comes out). I really hope what happened doesn’t ruin their chances for the future, their match was kino and had a lot of good moments!

>JC Denton vs. AM finals
oh what could've been...

>>15924
I mean, a AM vs JC Denton finale could still technically happen. But it’s sad to know anons still chose the boring, underwhelming and memey final over it.

>>15919
They had off-season yesterday.

>>15927
I had an account from before but I fucking forgot the login cause I thought it was throwaway lol
Sucks to be me. But this is the fate of people relying on non-professional services for image hosting, either you run your own stuff or you get this.
Best we can do is back-ups.

>>15928
I was just finished screencapping the Mecha-Chris Saga and am currently trying to organize all the missed OC into folders if my numbers are not wrong AM would have a larger count than Eggman by now, with Grimm closely behind but I’m not sure if it’s worth the effort to continue if I have no way of uploading everything to the main booru. Might unironically be the worst year because of this fuckery.

>>15931
Continue and wait.

>>15931
Can you archive them all into a Mega or something else? I'll see what I can do

>>15938
What I love about this is that it’s not something predictable like AM hurting Sage but instead making her obsess over drawing bueno Sonic donut steels in order to torment Eggman.

>>15941
>bueno
Why does plus4chan also have word filters?

It’s kinda weird that two robotic characters known for their voices made top 4 in this yesrs Queen and King /v/

>>15942
I don't know but they're bueno and soy tbh fam.

>>15988
9 and next year 47 makes Elite Eight and Battler doesn’t.

>>15990
>not GAAAAAAAY
Damn it's the actual Santa

Battler getting taken out by Christopher Robins was a blessing in disguise since it meant Battler vs Jack never happened resulting in either one losing and getting fucked by the E8 rule

>>15995
Nah, Battler should have made Elite Eight this year and at the very least match againts Jack.

>>15995
I'm a scorned Battler fan for losing to Robin, if he lost to Jack it might have hurt more since he'd be close to 47, and might have run the risk of 47 making E8 without Battler, but at least it would have been a more entertaining tournament. Besides Jack has wrestling ties as well for a 47 v Jack fight could have been cool, that and I would have just claimed BANS was involved if Battler died against Jack.

If Battler makes it to Elite Eight next year, will Ange stop getting bullied at school because of her jobber brother?

Look at what got in the /v/ collage for this year.
https://files.catbox.moe/mp8y3h.png

>>16063
Battler will never make it to elite eight. He will remain a jobber, the eternal low note of these tournaments. This is his fate, no matter what he tries, he will always fall and we'll laugh at him again and again and again.

>>15612
These maps are the best shit to come out of the tournaments.

someone made a wiki on Queen and King /v/

https://kingqueenv.fandom.com/wiki/King_and_Queen_of_/v/alhalla_Wiki

>>16099
I posted about it in the Wiki maintenance thread.

>>16132
imo scout had the best idea, just find something you already have access to and double down like sfm or rpgmaker

>>16134
I gotta be honest but despite being almost terminally online during the tournament I barely saw Scout which is apparently weird given how he was spoken about when he was eliminated. I'll dive back into the archive for Round 1 - 3 to see his campaign.

>>16132
I can't draw so I do stuff in Photoshop and Vocaroo instead, so give one of those a try

>>16137
mainly just a lot of avatarfagging with random scout images and speaking with his accent, there was 2 rpgmaker games I think and then there was his campaign video KING OF /V/ 2022 - SCOUT BATTER ROBO AMV

>>16254
it's not really avatarfagging but it kinda came off like it at some points, I'll change my description to 'dedicated campaigner' instead

>>16255
I think if characters start responding to other characters it definitely starts falling under avatarfagging/rping.

>>16262
Doesn’t matter what you call it, though I guess RPing doesn’t carry the same negative connotations. Personally I like the writing that is done for the King tournaments way more despite the fact Mr. /co/lympus is more notable for it.

>>16262
Scout did responded to plenty of other characters, like Travis, Trazyn, Spy, other mercs, etc

What is Jack's height? Is true form Midna even taller than him?

>>16283
Can't find anything for Jack, but I have the heights for the first two kings:
>Senator Armstrong
6'7"/200cm
>Dante
6'3"/190cm

Couldn't find anything for The Batter either, but it's safe to assume he's shorter than Armstrong and Dante. Jack is probably around Dante's height but not taller than Armstrong.

>>16285
That's interesting. True form Midna is often seen to be over 190 cm so I guess we kinda got that tall queen and short king year huh?

>>16289
Seems like it, here's the heights for the other queens for comparison:
>Samus Aran
6'3/190cm
>Reimu Hakurei
5'2"/158cm
>Recette Lemongrass
4'5"/134cm

It's been tall king short queen but this year was the inverse, if we're counting true form Midna instead of imp form.

>>16291
>this year was the inverse
Hot.

>>16291
>>16295
You can also take in consideration Fang who is taller than Zorak by a larger margin. This was the year of amazons and short men.

>>16320
2k19 is ok, some make for 2k22 now. It's most important to just find/make models for your characters and that's about it, outside of that shit will always be a buggy mess. I'm still pissed that after so much time Sting has his boring entrance and not WCW one

>>16323
>Queen... bad!
>King... good!
Oh fuck off you big homo. King has King of Cosmos, Christober Robin and AM hogging a bunch of tiles all at once.

>>15703
>grimmposting
>captain falcon preaching to the silent majority
>the jack promos

>>15751
even ladyfag became normal since last year, he just wanted to see her get past round 1.

>>15703
My favourite moments were all my campaigning and all my OC, as they were fun to do.
I'm surprised that the Gmod trash got that much attention, usually my posts don't get as much vocal appreciation.

Somebody said they were rigging Christopher Robin with 20 accounts, Battler might as well have actually won that round.

>>16337
you know I legitimately think there was shenanigans that round, the Google Doc noted a 14 vote gap, but the bracket in the OPs only said a 7 or 9 vote difference from memory. I didn't make any noise in the threads as I was worried I would come off like a sore loser. Then there was how Round 2 had 1.4k voters meanwhile every other round was only around 1.1k.

>>16341
Shit, I thought I was the only one who noticed that. There’s also the fact the Wesker vs 47 was missing around 50 votes.
Honestly I’m not sure if I can continue trusting NSA directly handling the votes if these anomalies continue.

>>16342
>Wesker vs 47 was missing around 50 votes.
Just checked, I'm not seeing the missing votes.
Wesker v 47, 1259 votes.
Wesker v 47 Google Doc, W: 697 Agent: 562, 1259 votes.
Bracket, W: 697 Agent: 562, 1259 votes.

All the other match ups got 1259 votes also, but please double check just in case I'm mixing numbers up as I've been awake 24+ hours.

>Battler v CR
Google Doc, 1140 votes, Ba: 563 CR: 577
Bracket, 1135 votes, Ba: 563, CR: 573
https://docs.google.com/document/d/194De9sBu12WP7Yx39SBc4Wymw5tN5TspHv2lRNYBloM/preview

All match ups votes match between Doc and Bracket, 1140 votes being the 'correct' number apparently. However Garland v Sam has the latter go from 486 to 436 between Doc to Bracket.

I went through the results of Round 5 and Round 3 but all match ups seem to be correct numbers wise, Garland v Sam could simply be a case of pressing the '3' key instead of '8' as the data is entered manually from my understanding, the 5 vote difference for CR is weird however but it's not enough to go off on.

>>16337
BATTLER WAS ROBED
