This is a discussion thread about a potential Mr. and Ms. /a/ character tournament, historically called in the board as "Saigar" and "Saimoe". Pic related is a versus graphic an /a/non made back in 2011 when 2channel's saimoe character contest was still active.

Well we can all agree a true ms. /a/ would be the biggest shitfest of any boards. It'll probably never happen cause of /a/ and /a/ mods rampant paranoia and xenophobia.
I've got a hypothetical ms. /a/ ranking I've been thinking of a while though:
>1. Rei/Asuka
>3. Yostuba
>4. Haruhi
>5. Saber
>6. C.C.
>7. Taiga
>8. Makise Kurisu
Sweet 16's/wildcards: Usagi Tsukino, Ryuko Matoi, Sakura Kinomoto, Lum, Lain, Kagome, Dorothy, any Madoka girl (especially Homura).
I'm considering /a/'s particular taste, old-fag nature, and favor for the classics (much like /co/ but more so as they were the 'original board'). I don't see a girl from the last 5 years having a chance. Recent waifu's like Senko, Chika, Nagatoro would get spited early. Even the most popular newer girls like Megumin probably wouldn't get past round 4. The only exception is KLK cause that shows seems to have energy with oldfags, being a trigger-gainax connected Imaishi classic now and all.

OP here, i'm going to share my opinions:
>/a/ used to have "Saimoe" threads about 2channel's "Anime Saimoe Tournament" because they're interested on the tastes of Japanese users, and many believed that Japanese preferences are "superior" and "definitive". The board didn't hold their own version of saimoe because of it.
>However in 2007, an anon named "SaiGAR Guy" decided to create a website imitating 2channel's voting site, and organized /a/'s own competition known as "SaiGAR" - a contest meant to find /a/'s "manliest and most bad-ass character". Despite the name, it's actually a mixed-gender contest because some females were entered, like Revy and Nanoha, with Rena, Rika, and Kino later joining.
>According to lurkmore wiki ( https://www.lurkmore.com/view/GAR ), /m/ was heavily involved in the 2007 contest. The final came down to /a/'s Guts (Berserk) versus /m/'s Master Asia (G Gundam), which Guts won.
>SaiGAR spawned a sequel tourney in 2008, which Gurren Lagann was heavily favored (especially Kamina and Simon), but they were spite-voted out. That year was full of controversies, such as anons claiming to have rigged the tournament using proxies, and "shit results"; idk what else happened but ultimately the tournament was abandoned even before the elite eight started. And it was never talked about it again.

I've been trying to document /a/'s old tournaments in a wiki in hopes of making it more accessible, but admittedly i don't really know anything because i can't easily find a 4chan archive that covers 2006 and 2007

I’ve heard of the saimoe stuff before. Doesn’t seem like a true ms./mr. cause the badass stipulation. Ironically though I still think Guts and Kamina would be a very likely finale two mr. Them or Lelouch.
>spite-voted out
kek, of course. TTGL was fotm and it was the 2nd year (when meta-gaming starts to really creep in). It’s popularity has endured though.

also, i think there's more things to consider regarding rules of an /a/ character tournament:
>Either allow only characters within a certain timeframe, usually one year before the contest (like the original saimoe), or
>Allow all anime characters, but a "FOTM rule" has to be present.
>Should the contest include unadapted series? (i.e. Fire Punch, Onani Master, Punpun). Allowing them might come into conflict with the FOTM rule especially if more recent manga gets anime adaptations (like CSM, or Oshi no ko in the near future), which gives them a massive advantage
>Yotsuba might not be allowed because she's the 4chan mascot; and she'll probably win it anyway if she was allowed
>The "Elite 8" rule will probably not work in /a/ because metagaming is stronger there

>>1628
and that's before deciding what format to use:
>either use 2channel's saimoe and /a/'s saigar format: single elim but the first few rounds are "triple threat" matches (pick 1 out of 3, only one advances), which allows more contestants in the same number of rounds.
>Or just use a 1v1 single elim bracket, pure and simple. Might have to expand to 256 or 512 players because 128 feels so few given the sheer quantity of anime characters out there

Lastly, where will the people vote:
>Google Forms like the /co/mpetitions, but it might be easily exploited, idk how it works tho
>Or someone codes a new, dedicated voting website, which is highly unlikely. And the maker has to think of every possible way to prevent rigging/vote stuffing and the like.

Well since there appears to be little interest at the moment, I'm going to attempt to understand the history of 2channel's saimoe and expand its wiki pages. it's a part of /a/ history after all, and it's serious fucking business. If anyone's interested feel free to suggest or edit the wiki pages.

Bakifags in general are amongst the most autistic and hilarious people on /a/, so I'd genuinely would love bakifags interaction with some of the more comedic characters.

This. I don't like the relation that gets pushed to those older tournaments. A new /a/ tournament should be its own thing, basically in the sort of contemporary "league" of the /co/ and /v/ programs. Plus the names saimoe and saigar carry connotations when tournaments should just be a best male/female of the board thing.

isn't this a good time to start an /a/ contest?
Regarding "FOTM restrictions", if the contest decides to have a one-year ban period, then all new anime from the entirety of previous year is affected, which should be easy to understand.

>>20976
At this point I will agree with this. I'm sick of "saimoe" and its derivative tournaments. Their voters don't feel as "enthusiastic" as anons do. Almost no fan art and little engagement (or if they do, i do not understand their language). At least in 4chan I get to see actual proof of support and anons fucking dissing at each other, blades against their throats, which is part of the fun.
The definition of "Saimoe" does not indicate that it should be female (and likewise for "saigar" and male), which is why girls like Nanoha and Kino appeared in the original saigar. On the other hand, it would make traps eligible on what is supposed to be a female-only contest.

I am /a/non, the one who wanted to eventually try and host an /a/ tourney. While I've somewhat figured out the sheets and the polls, I'm utterly scared shitless with the sense of scale presented when a tournament rolls up. I'm also pretty busy IRL so there isn't much time presented for me to train on actually hosting a poll. Talking to the mods wise, it's a full on 50/50. I'm not a bad talker and I know to hold my tongue on certain things, but knowing how mods act on /a/ and how strict they are on something It's really hard to know If I could host one in the first place.

My amusement out of this would come from the absolute shitstorm that would go on in the threads, especially on female /a/ tournament.

It's basically 50/50.

Either mods there allow the tournaments or they don't. Threads that get deleted aren't actually banned on the spot, to the contrary some threads which discuss an /a/ tournament hold up very well.
We just don't know because mods on /a/ are a hell lot more inconsistent than any other mod in the board because they will three day ban you for posting anything to trolling or outside funposting but will allow hentai to be post in thread.

You could use film or art depictions of characters, although that might cause some people to vote based on the picture more than the character. For example, I could see James Bond making Elite Eight because his nomination and poll picture is Pierce Brosnan.

/a/ mods have always been notoriously draconian. I think they compensate hard to be the "pure" board on the site so make a lot of arbitrary restrictions on anything whiffing of off-site or cross-boarding rule breaking. But sometimes they just up and ban their own traditions too (like the Sakura fish anon).

/a/'s gotten progressively more newfag/shit so eh. Yotsuba getting E8 is the only sure bet, I think. Even Rei/Asuka run a high risk of purposeful early elimination. Konata and the Azumanga girls could probably be added to high potentials. But who knows; even recent waifu's can probably make good performances now. I suspect the winner would either be Yotsuba (cause it's obligatory) or a decent mid-carder everyone mildly agrees on (like Konata or Tomoko).

If you're talking about saimoe I don't really think they're connected. To my memory ms. /co/ was independently conceived. I don't remember saimoe being brought up. There's a chance it was but it's certainly far removed from the canon or whatever these tournaments have been on.

I admit I haven't watched a lot of anime, and I never even posted on /a/ before, so I may not have a lot of choices. I thought I had to cheat a little bit by using anime games or VNs, but fortunately that's not the case. Can't say too much about the other 3x3s here but I do really like all of them. So here's mine.

Cyberpunk is in the same page a Warhammer 40k in this matter, they're more so settings that a show or game can be based upon much like DnD.

If a character originates from the source material then it isn't allowed and is whitelisted while a new character that is written within the setting is allowed.

I still think we need someone from the current host team involved if there's gonna be any hope of it not getting instantly deleted. We need the board and the jannies to think we know what we're doing. I also think it'd be a bad idea to just start the tournament out of nowhere. It would cause a lot of confusion on the board and the turmoil might get it targeted by the jannies. We ought to make a thread announcing the event like the week before. Therefor I think our plan should be like this
>Step 1:Get at least one of the current host interested in helping host an /a/ tournament
>Step 2:Make a SINGLE thread announcing the tournament and when the start date will be. If the announcement thread doesn't get deleted by the mods move onto step 3
>Step 3: Make the nominations thread at the starting date and keep rolling unless it gets deleted.

What about best first female winner?
I'm still going with Lain. Mix of both medium and board legacy (both the show and the character), strangeness and memery, and winner thematics (omnipresent AI god girl). And of course a very interesting and good show and character on their own.
Asuka also has a first winners fit. Eva and the waifu wars are legendary and she was m00t's inspiration. Basically shaped 4chan and oldfag internet culture.

Yotsuba being the site's mascot is why she's always getting spited at finals. Trust the plan. It's actually retarded to not let her compete since tournament outcomes can be surprising. If she sweeps first year, she sweeps first year. I could still see her job near the end if not have a surprisingly rough start that takes her out early if brackets are randomized. She could stand in the way of an extremely hyped matchup or stop one, then be in the way of another and people don't risk it that time.

Agni.

Fire Punch also has basically everything that /a/ considers important like a good story, good waifus, controversy, KINO and SUFFERING. Guts if not mistaken is the first winner of SaiGAR a tournament akin to the modern ones. I don't doubt that Guts is fully capable of being a champion again but Agni is just THE /a/-core character.

Asuka by slim to fair margins. Rei would win a 2chan tourney, but Asuka’s always been more popular in the west. Plus the founder was an Asukafag and made the site to wank her. She’s part of 4chan’s core.
Goku by decent margins. Goku is simply more popular (and stronger).

I found it weird they evidently knew nothing of the NSA scandals or the general perception of host favoritism. Also the mixing of teams with singles. Seemed to indicate they were new here and to tourneys in general, or have followed it on a very casual level, which is kind of odd for someone that wants to host.

How would we handle (light) novel/video game adaptations in the tournament? The former is pretty integral to /a/ stuff, but the latter feels a little shakier, but at the same time there are not really that many video game adaptations so the chance of them standing out too much is low.
>inb4 "light novels means we don't get to deal with isekai"
Yeah but Vampire Hunter D and LoGH were both novels before they were anime. Something like Shigurui, the manga, is an adaptation of a novel too though it deviates from the source in a ton of things.

> How would we handle (light) novel/video game adaptations in the tournament?
So long as they are adapted into japanese produced animation, they're good.
In fact, in most of anime character tournaments i viewed, a significant number of winners/contenders come from light novels, like Misaka, Rem, Mai Sakurajima
Also some VN original girls like Kurisu or the Clannad girls are seen more as an /a/ waifu than /v/.
> But what about capeshit
Personally it's up to the hosts if they want to ban /co/ original properties or not (Scott Pilgrim, RWBY, Suicide Squad Isekai). On Reddit for example, they allowed shit like Batman Ninja because they have entries on MyAnimeList, but Batman didn't get far enough.
> Hatsune Miku
Again up to the hosts, but Miku mostly appears as cameo in a "pure" TV anime (for lack of a better term). Omnipresent egg paradox, more like worldwide idol tour.
> /vt/
they're going to be met with fierce opposition so probably not. That said, anime featuring them include Virtual-san Looking and Holo no graffiti, and if you want to stretch it, YT music videos.

I'm pretty sure /co/ stuff would get banned on principle. Also there is no way RWBY is getting into the /a/ tournament, it doesn't even get into /co/.

This is how the first proper tournaments really start.
Ms. and Mr. barely had enough contestants to start, Queen and King had no seeds and the same problem.

Which given that maybe after King of /v/ finishes we could think about when that male tournament would happen; I think July is the best bet assuming the female /a/ tournament happens in August again that way it all happens a month apart

people say /a/ has the best moderation on the site but the truth is jannies are even more powertrippy there than the rest of the site on account of anime being an autism magnet. they don't give a fuck about the rules, they just delete anything they don't like while letting problems fester because it doesn't affect them.

It was even better 2-3 years ago before everybody knew about it, and it was pretty much just a furry, /co/ and artfagging board. I hate the multiple AI slop, 3D people and koreaboo faggots cranking up the bump speed. There used to be great threads about obscure girls that could survive a long time.

This is just the end point of waifufag culture or rather, of the inherently adolescent value of otaku fandom culture as a whole, like the other guy in the thread is arguing. If you don't want this to manifest, the female tournaments would have to leave any underlaying pretense of being waifu competitions behind, and adopt a similar approach the male tournaments follow, full stop.
But you are not going to get this because 4chan is majority male, men are men, and nerdy horny manchildren are still nerdy horny manchildren at the end of the day.

Yeah, Forms is just more efficient + harder to get the resources to rig for. You can easily notice with the vote count that Bracket A has triple digit votes, but it all slowly drops off until you get to Bracket H which has like 70 votes per match in total. Having all the bystanders who don't care for your match still have a say makes matches more exciting because they could be swayed by a number of factors. This is made for enjoyment after all. Having to force people to go out of their way to find your character through 8 different links, fill out the captcha and so on is just ass. In the Forms you could just ctrl+f, change vote and go once you type in the new captcha.

My fear with this one was that ti was the only shot, and it was a flop one. I know some people reacted too badly but I think it was mostly on the host for being a newfag retard and not putting a few braincells together and preparing at least a little bit or listening to anyone. Now there may be difficulty if you did try to sell it to the mods since this fuckfest is the point of reference.

I’m concerned which is why they shouldn’t even be contacted in association to /a/. We saw what happened with Tag-Team. Hosts should only contact them to establish their particular tournament is happening and nothing else unless they start getting removed after approval, and no one else. Mods don’t like being contacted and that’s when they make more rash decisions, and why bring up some schizo they aren’t aware of?
