/tnt/ - Tournaments & Events

I blame Pencil Anon for Felicia losing!

Couldn't use a new OP pic...

>>163920
Should have used a Concord edit with Shazam. SURELY that exists.

Okay but can we all agree that PMtroons should hang themselves?

>>163921
Yeah i kind of agree. And while I get the problems people have with Miku I think at least Miku is being voted for being Miku. Hex Maniac has been a dishonest meta run.

>>163927
Yes sister

>>163931
>In hindsight, was posting graphs a mistake?
It's what I'm thinking. Far seems like any pros outweighed the cons.

>>163939
and Fang

>>163938
In terms of how well they'd be received in the long run
>Good
Mado
>inoffensively okay
Palutena
Shantae
Tifa
>meh
Baiken
>Bad
Hex
Miku

Ayla I don't really know. Would probably get some people scratching their head but those that know her would like her.

>>163941
>Picked her for being a “titty monster”
>completely ignores Baiken and Tifa who canonically have big breasts
This tournament is getting more and more stupid.

>>163944
Yeah, I'd most agree with your own assessment. You didn't like Ayla, but she'd probably fall into the meh camp as well sadly talking broader reception. Frog and Magus have always been the biggest fan favorites from Chrono Trigger in my own experience, so ANY of the girls from it (even my own favorite, Lucca) wouldn't seem as apt to win over them in my own eyes.

Really, I'm surprised Lucca didn't qualify if Ayla was going to go this deep on the bracket.

>>163941
You gotta be kidding me nigga.
He could've made booba for a girl that actually needed desperate OC, not the meme train OC monster with canon small titties.

>>163941
>Wariofag has shit taste in Queen

>>163945
What the hell does Wariofag see in her, he rarely ever draws human girls, then again, the one time I remember him drawing smut of a human girl was Stocking who is also a goth, maybe he just has a very specific type.

Baiken would be a good winner though

>>163952
I'm glad a Guilty Gear character made Elite Eight and she's a solid pick for it, but eh. Better than Hex and less iffy than Miku, but that's not a high bar.

>>163951
>who is also a goth, maybe he just has a very specific type.
Not that out of the ordinary considering Loona.

>>163951
Fair enough, but still.

>>163966
Least you're perfectly honest about your tastes even if I might disagree with them in a tournament setting.

I'll admit I have absolutely cummed a bucket to Hex in the past. I was admittedly hoping she'd lose by now so she might actually shine better in Ms. /trash/.

>>163967
I mean, if you hate her so much she'll at least be gone for a year at minimum after this, maybe forever.

>>163951
>What the hell does Wariofag see in her?
I'm going to speak for Wariofag here for a moment, but if you want an honest answer that actually makes sense, just remember that Wariofag and Hexfag have a history of collaborating together going back to last year in King of /v/ during Eggman vs Wario and the finale itself.

>>163968
>maybe forever
Being immortalized as a winner isn’t exactly a comforting thought

>>163969
>I'm going to speak for Wariofag here for a moment
Mario...

>>163969
He’s also admitted that he has a thing for goths >>163966 so this all makes sense actually maybe if I nominate my girl in her Goth outfit for Ms /trash/ he might doodle something for her despite being human.

>>163919
Why are you blaming the one fag who drew Felicia?

Move aside Morshubros, Hex and Miku have dethroned you as the new worst /v/ Elite Eight members

>>163976
The only real issue with Morshu is that it should have been King Harkinian instead.

>>163968
Wait, this was in reply to me? I had a strong feeling Hex Maniac would make Elite Eight this year. I didn't LIKE the idea of that, but I saw this coming a mile away.

>>163972
It would be both things, if anything. Solidarity for a fellow campaigner you have good history with you and has supported the same character as you in the past first, and then the pick in question being somewhat up your alley.
In the end it boils down to supporting the person behind the character and not the character itself.

>>163980
A lot of people aren't happy about Hex and her actual fans are pretty elated to see her doing well so damn near anything about her is gonna get attention now, your drawings were very early in the bracket so they just got slept on, and fair enough for /trash/, hope you'll stick around to enjoy the competition even if you don't draw much.

>>163979
It was apparent after she beat Maya. Zelda wasn't going to stop her. Baiken probably won't either.

>>163983
Oh I'll definitely lurk a thread or two just to save good stuff posted

Did Spideranon post a graph of the Hex vs Zelda match by any chance?

I don't wanna hear about queen being one of the chiller tourneys anymore.

>>163987
I don't wanna hear about tourneys with over 1000 votes per poll being considered even good and legit period.

>>163988
US election bros...

>>163987
There is something very bizarre about getting a rerun of Ms /co/ 2021 in a completely different board.

>>163988
So almost every /v/ tourney ever is shit then.

>>163990
Calling it now, Hex is going to be the Johanna and Shantae is going to be the Betty Boop
It even has an equivalent of Miss Pauling (Miku)

>>163991
now you're getting it

>>163992
Johanna didn’t get to fight Miss Pauling in her year, gonna be very interesting to see what happens if Miku and Hex both proceed.

>>163996
Nobody ever says Ms. /co/ or King /v/ is chill, disingenuousfag...

>>163996
>>mr. /co/ goes nuclear over something
this doesn't happen

>>163996
>ackchyually mr. /co/ has ALWAYS been the chill tourney
>ackchyually queen /v/ has ALWAYS been the chill tourney
People have said this.
>ackchyually king /v/ has ALWAYS been the chill tourney
>ackchyually ms. /co/ has ALWAYS been the chill tourney
No one says this.

Tifa is going to be the Tyr'ahnee of Queen this year isn't she
>previous runner-up beats hype zoomer pick and gets spited out next round

>>164002
Who's the heck's the zoomer pick this Elite 8?
Practically everyone here existed before the 10s

>>164003
I mean the Princess, duh.

I do wonder about that Baiken trans flag post that an anon pointed out got deleted, and likely got that anon a ban. I hope the Hex artist can scribble at least SOMETHING to show it wasn't him that got banned

>>164004
Ah I'm a dumbass kek

>>164004
Tifa beat Princess before the E8, Pomni got beat after she was in, so I dunno about that, especially since this is shaping up to be a carbon copy of Ms /co/ 2021.

The Hex scandal is literally just a repeat of Jack Garland in 2022 and you can’t convince me otherwise.

>>164008
Jack was a protagonist character and FOTM though. This is a much different case. Like if red pikman got a campaign push to finals.

>>164012
And it shouldn't win because...?

Ranking the winners from most to least likely to become Queen at this present moment
>Palutena
>Hex
>Madotsuki
>Shantae
>Baiken
>Tifa
>Ayla
>Miku
Not my personal preferences just who I think will probably take it all

>>164014
Why is Palutena so high?

>Recette hate reversing over the prospect of Hex becoming Queen
Unforeseen development.

>>164015
She's the least controversial and has good momentum, here's how I see it going
>Shantae gets spitevoted out for being silent for too long
>Tifa stomps Ayla but then gets spitevoted out in the semis for beating Princess and generally just for being Tifa, whereas Palutena is the less controversial yet still popular enough pick sharing Tifa's recognizability and coomer apeal
>/v/ realizes in the finals they fucked up and Hex would be an awful winner so Palutena being the less controversial winner
>Hex is most likely the other finalist and by this point /v/ wakes up and realizes she would be an utterly atrocious winner so they choose Palutena as the safer back-up
I normally wouldn't put that much stock in Palutena winning if this was a normal year but this isn't a normal year

>>164017
This whole ms. /co/ 2021 comparison is missing a crucial fact, that's that /v/ is not /co/. So if it came down to it I don't think enough would actually realize anything in a Hex finals.

>>164017
> and by this point /v/ wakes up and realizes she would be an utterly atrocious winner
people have been saying this the entire tournament.
everyone's made up their mind by now. either you're riding the hex train or you're not.

>>164017
>/v/ realizes in the finals they fucked up
heh

>>164017
fuck you I’m voting for Hex because of the multi year campaign and fun posts, fantastic winner.

>>164022
You’re just voting for the campaigner then and a campaigner isn’t a good winner in a character contest.
The fact that her being a fantastic winner starts and ends with OC is quite telling.

>>164023
KEKing out Pokemon from winning King would be based

>>164022
>because of the multi year campaign and fun posts
That says nothing about her as a character or is even her canonical appearance...

Whatever happens it's safe to say Hex Maniac is going down as quite possibly the worst /v/ Elite Eight character of all time
That goes double if she actually wins

>>164023
But enough about Batter...

>>164025
No it wouldn’t because the Regigigas campaign shows more promise and it would suck to see that thrown away for a coompick

>>164028
People keep bringing this up as if Batter isn’t a contentious pick. I hated him for getting the ball rolling on the whole schizo alliance shtick.

>>164027
Again, no, stop please.
Riggers and whitelisters will always be the worst. You're being so insanely dramatic over a Pokemon goth lady, it's embarassing

>>164027
yes

>>164031
It’s not that dramatic; objectively speaking there are worst candidates but people are voting for an artist rather than the Pokémon goth lady, something blatant at this point. Not the worst, but pretty disappointing as a winner.

>>164027
She's down there at the very least. If she won she would absolutely be the worst winner barring actual rigged ones.

>>164031
It’s embarrassing how dramatic people are being Hatsune Miku, yet here we are.

>>164031
>non-character voted only for her drawfag makes elite eight while shitting up entire threads with falseflags
Yeah real great E8 contender you got there

>>164031
Hexfag doesn't deserve to be bullied for simply supporting what he likes but this damage control you are doing here is even more embarrassing. Dude, you are not changing the fact a non-character winning would be bad and disappointing.

I'm not a hater of Hexfag but unironically using your opponent's character to praise your campaign is pathetic

>>164041
Yeah that one was a bit too much to de desu
I don't want to say it because people are running wild with ANYTHING

>>164044
So that’s the word that gets filtered into Bueno?

>>164046
I laughed tbh.

>>164046
>AEWAEWAEWAEWAEWAEW out of NOWHERE

>>164046
/tnt/bros.... Baiken hates us....

>>164049
IT'S OVER

>they are now screenshotting this thread
hi

Yeah I’m starting to feel this is going to HexAnon’s head with three whole pages of pitying and praise; should have just had Baiken and Hex just hang out.
The /tnt/ jab was funny though.

>>164054
Well I can't blame him too much when people have been creaming him hard for two years. He probably figures a triumphant Hex run this year would be universally welcome.

>>164056
If he thought that he really wasn’t paying attention these past few years…

>>164057
I get the impression he's someone that just jumps into things full force. He saw a shitton of praise last year when Hex lost R2 and did a bunch of work in the coper's bracket. Buzzing into E8, beating the top seed, and having a real shot at winning the whole thing is another matter though.

I think Miku should be Queen

If Hex loses now she becomes arguably the biggest KWAB of the tournament
>Rounds of falseflagging and entitlement amounting to nothing
>Hexfag's pity party amounted to nothing other than embarrassing himself with Cringe
>She's stuck out for a year while being remembered as one of the worst elite eight members in /v/ history

>>164060
She would marginally be better than Hex imo.

Anyone else noticing this rabid fucking ESL anon going on these past few threads?

>>164060
ah, the Frenzied Flame ending

Is the grug story supposed to be a parody of the Hex OC? LMAO

>>164064
>ESL
That's ETL if anything.

>>164062
She has just as little personality on top of not even being a video game character, she’s the one pick in the E8 who is undeniably worse than Hex.

>>164059
That's /v/ for you.

>>164068
Yeah but the voting for her is honest and she's a deep cultural entrenchment in the board so...

>>164070
Damn maybe Christopher Robin wasn’t so bad after all.

>>164071
Robin's a meme. Miku's an actual appreciated character on the board.

>>164072
Name 5 personality traits she has.

>>164073

>>164074
K-Kino……

>>164076
It’s practically his tournament now, we’re just posting in it

>>164076
I feel like it is really disrespectful to anons who supported Baiken. Don't like it.

>>164076
>>164078
Preachy walls of texts aren’t even something Baiken does, it just comes off as author filibuster

>>164076
It really is his self-insert, huh.

>>164076
I was a Mayafag and I appreciated the kino Maya court case even if my pick lost, I feel bad for Baikenfags they didn't get shit all they got was their character used as a preachy soap box for Hexanon's venting

Imagine if one of these gay ass Hex/Baiken images actually gets picked as the next OP image kek
They actually might since there's not much else being posted right now

Schizo conspiracy theory: Hexfag is knowingly jumping the shark with the preachy walls of text because he's figured out a lot of people already don't like his pick so he's got nothing to lose
If Hex Maniac proceeds he's gonna do even more heel shit in the later rounds like drawing her opponent in a muzzle as "quirky joke" or something

>>164082
They should use one of the Grug stories

>>164004
Princess is still a great choice and would have been great.
I still say that graph feels suspicious. Dozens of other Anons were calling it out too.

>>164082
It would be pretty funny (insert Jetstream Sam face here)

>>164085
The entire thread is just focused on the Baiken and Hex match while everything else is an afterthought, it's fucking absurd, I've seen parts of the bracket be completely slept on before but it never stops being ridiculous when the final few matches are being treated like a sideshow.

>>164088
I don’t want to hammer the issue further but it’s the side effect of pushing more for the campaigner over the character. It gets to the point where it turns into the HexAnon show guest starring a few other guys.

>>164088
Because it's the Hex Maniac matches deciding the fate of the tourney, basically. It's Hexanon's tourney to win.

>>164092
I'll be surprised if we head down the Ms /co/ 2024 rerun path instead of the Ms /co/ 2021 rerun path.

>>164086
The more this round goes on the more I feel like something was up

>>164095
Frankie won this year so Tyr'ahnee might have an actual chance when she's out of the E8 unless Pomni gets supercharged by her show ending, I wouldn't give up just yet.

>>164095
She just got 3rd, anon.

>>164095
It's beyond over for the Princess. The only reason she did this well this year was that her game got an update and the threads were very active; by next year no one will care. She'll qualify and be out within 3 rounds just like 2023.

>>164098
I think he means having to wait two more years again.

>>164099
Exaggerated

>>164099
To be fair, Helltaker girls haven't gotten shit in years yet still regularly qualify and I say they do alright.
I have faith in the Princess.

>>164095
Cirno is the one ultimately fucked up. Anons have just adopted this pattern of making her lose on round 4 and it's not going away, just like making Eggman lost in the finals.

>>164102
And even if she doesn't end up making the bracket she still could participate in Next 128 like Alipheese is right now doing.

>>164100
I'm a Hank supporter and I've seen him go 2nd and 5th and I'm still ready to support him next year.

>>164096
>>164086
The further proof to this is Cirno losing by 9 votes. I can understand maybe if it was between 10-20 votes but it had to be that number for some reason.

>>164107
>i just got a three day ban
For what reason?

>>164062
Yeah, this is my opinion. If she had a big push for it I'd be more interested, but it feels more like she got voted because "Hey, it's Hatsune Miku!" Not a bad reason, sure, but she beat some really good characters to get here. I really feel in terms of Elite Eight that it would have timed better last year if you ignore how well Roll worked thematically that year with Curly and, despite the tainted elements later, SHODAN.

>>164111
>>164112
On a second thought, maybe the Princess losing this year can open the gates to more kino like this.

>>164113
Lookin on the bright side, love it.

>>164111
Incredible. Simply amazing.

I feel the same about Tifa vs. Princess that I did about Courage vs. Doof. Hate when two strong picks have to go against each other in the fourth round. Obviously the latter isn't the only other example, but recency bias.

>>164116
It's even more painful when you have nothingburgers like Shantae vs GLaDOS next to it.

>3 day ban on OC post
>i didn't even post nudity
owari da

>>164118
is that you, Big Red?

>>164119
in the excessive amount of flesh :L

>>164120
I kneel for carrying this entire round on Red's massive belly and being persecuted for it

>the weakest Queen E8 is either not a character or not a /v/ character
>the weakest Mr E8 is only considered the weakest because another character from the same series is also in the E8
guys is Mr the strongest tournament of the year? until King has a surprise redemption and becomes good again

>>164121
thank you anon, i don't know about carrying heh, but posts like yours are really encouraging for me
i'll continue trying my best!

We need to have this character vs non character debate. /co/ and /v/ have mediums that focus on completely different things.

>>164124
It should be a thread

>>164124
What do you mean by "character vs non character"?

>>164126
Superman vs Goomba, not a specific Goomba just Goomba

>>164127
So, a specific character and a species/group? What's there to debate?

>>164124
Kiryu vs Samus. Both have backstories but one of them doesn't talk at all mostly.

>>164130
Literally me (I only drink Pepsi)

>>164122
Wait, people considered Plankton weak?

>>163998
THE STRONGEST

>>164136
Turns out the guy just wanted to share what he loves with the thought of Princess getting stomped. Not a bribe at all.
I wonder how he feels that all Princess needed was 5 more votes to win.

>>164071
this but unironically

Are people in the thread really talking about games and characters unrelated to the E8?
Is this year's E8 really that unhype?

>>164140
Most people that are there come from the general that shit up Queen every year. Of course they don't play any other video game besides their circle jerked holy cow of a game.

>>164141
You mean Black Souls?

>>164142
Yes and a few others. I just find them irritating and would prefer a slow thread than their personal containment thread.

>>164143
He does mean Black Souls. He is not exactly wrong either, they do this every year.

>>164144
>>164145
Hopefully with Grimm not being able to be in King they will keep quite and talk about something else.

>>164146
They haven't been and still want to get their girls in and win. Even if that Red Hood lost they keep making the same joke about her which is unfunny ngl.

>>164146
lol
lmao

>>164147
>>164148
I meant keep quite during king.

>>164149
LOL
LMAO

>>163987
>>163996
I swear people never get what saying when some are “the chill tournaments” means and what that entails
No, that doesn’t meant that things are this ideal perfectly chill all the time, no issues tournament. You’re on fucking 4chan, you’re going to have schizos and trolls and objectively terrible people participate because, again, you are on 4chan. You will have people try to force thread drama or spam or namefag. Tournaments are chill depending how people respond and handle drama and controversies, how they respond to winners and E8s, and what the mood usually is. That doesn’t mean there’s zero spite or no drama, just that it’s minimal and resolves quickly. If there was none we wouldn’t be on 4chan

I have no idea why that one retard keeps trying to Tifa as this butchered by westerners character and an SJW icon.

This might actually be the worst tournament I've personally sat through in terms of spite. I've seen people constantly shat on the past two rounds for genuine support or just asking questions.

>>164157
I'm just wanting to talk about Playboy and Playgirl until this round is over. I'm not looking forward to the results of Baiken vs Hex no matter how it goes

>hexfag is basically using hex’s opponents as a soapbox to dump walls of text
Holy shit what a faggot

>>164133
People didn't even consider Plankton weak necessarily they were just kind of disappointed two Spongebob picks made it in when Eddy and Batman were also popular choices to make it in

>the same cycle of over praise and spite whenever Hexanon posts a new pic
This is just getting tedious at this point.

>>164161
At this point people aren’t voting for or against hex maniac, they’re voting for or against hexanon and their OC

>>164162
i'm voting for hex maniac

>>164163
Because of the porn?

And now we're at the scheduled seething over /tnt/.
Have tournaments really become this predictable?

They're analyzing our posts again bro's...

https://strawpoll.com/7MZ0kN1kpgo

>>164152
No I get that exactly, doesn't change what I said.

>>164169
Do we unironically think a canonical poll pic of hers would've stymied her chances?

I love Angela and I want her to succeed

>the Sonic autist is in favor of IDs site wide because he's worried about samefagging
This tournament keeps getting weirder and weirder. Also put me in the cap.

>>164172
Well I feel called out. It works on /biz/, /pol/, from what I recall it works on 8gag, why wouldn't it work on 4/v/?

>>164173
Different board cultures I'm assuming. /biz/ isn't a good example to use since it's been ground zero for a lot of unpopular choices.

>>164170
I can say as a cold hard fact if Hex's poll picture was a normal sprite of gen 3 Hex Maniac she would've jobbed
Like not to Scout's Mom because come on now but definitely to Gardevoir or at the very least Maya

>>164176
Honestly even using the official Gen 6 model rather than the OC would have sunk her chances.

>all those /v/ posters who jumped to Garland's defense
Interesting. With /tnt/ being an echo chamber of the same few dozen people, it's easy to forget that there are still actual people on 4chan that go against the "unanimously accepted" tourney opinions and like characters that this place doesn't care for, and there may be a lot of those people.

>>164178
Garlandbro btw

>>164179
bullshit.

>>164178
Anyone who fails to realize /tnt/ is just a small echo chamber that doesn't reflect the wider board consensus is an abject moron

Brisby was totally gonna sweep Ms. /co/ amirite

>>164181
Them why does /v/ care so much about a site with 12 people and think they make a meaningful difference?

>>164178
We had a conversation about Garland at the beginning of the tournament too and most opinions were against him. I think it's fair to say he is a contentious winner, but this post >>164181 is not wrong.

I can’t wait to see people debate about which tournament was worse when Queen ends, Ms /co/ 2021 or Queen /v/ 2024

>>164183
/v/ is clinically retarded

>>164185
people overrate the spite of Ms. 2021, there was a lot of "wait how did this character win?" but the vitriol didn't completely strangle the threads until finals.

>>164183
>/v/
/tnt/*

>>164187
This
Queen of /v/ 2024 started declining around round 3 then went to complete shit in round 4 and has yet to recover, Ms. /co/ 2021 was mostly fine until around the semis and then it kind of turned into a complete shitshow

>>164184
The nature of 4chan means that it doesn't matter how popular an opinion is, just how loud you are. So, it's almost impossible to figure out the consensus because a loud retard can just spam and look like a whole bunch of people. This got even worse when they removed the IP counter.

>>164188
Why does /tnt/ care so much about /tnt/?

>>164188
You didn’t care this much about Grimmcord

>>164194
Eggman...

>>164185
Coincidentally, these are both the only 4chan tournaments where none of the immediate returning E8 made E8 again.

>>164190
You can still more or less judge it by reply timer. Post made within 1 minute of each other can't be from the same person.

Call me crazy, but I’m starting to think HexAnon doesn't know a lot about Guilty Gear

>>164181
Lets be polite now.

>>164200
He doesn't know a lot about Pokémon either.

>>164202
>I don't mean to toot my own horn
>toots his own horn the entire day

>>164202
Wasn't that hard of a call. Hex beating Maya just kind of felt like a defining point.

What would be the ideal finale at this point?

>>164206
No fucking clue.

>>164206
Mado vs. Tifa or Palutena imo.

>>164204
What are you talking about? I was sleeping all day.

>>164206
Anything without Hex or Miku in my opinion. I've got nothing against campaigning but I just don't think they'd make for good /v/ winners.

>>164206
Madotsuki vs Ayla

>>164210
I wouldn't really feel Baiken vs. Ayla as well if I'm being honest here. Both are cool Elite Eights, but not really the best winner options.

>>164206
Hex vs Shantae for maximum seethe

>>164201
Fuk u

>>164214
>shantae
Tifa*

I can't believe I would like to see a Tifa redemption but here we are.

>>164214
>Implying Miku wouldn't be even worse for not being video games

>>164218
hex and miku will meet in semis if they both win

>>164214
Only if Shantae loses. We really are heading into another ms. /co/ 2021

Going to call that Mado vs. Miku's margin of votes is going to be the best way to predict how the final two rounds go this year. The two seem the most opposite to each other, not to mention how they reflect different sides of the threads.

>>164221
Are they really? They're both /jp/ darlings at least.

>>164220
Reminder that Betty BARELY beat Johanna.

We don't know who would've won in a match between Johanna and Miss Pauling and the chances of them facing off were basically 0. meanwhile this tournament's equivalents to both might meet in the very next round.

That is true, but relative to the other match-ups? I guess Hex vs. Baiken has the bigger gap on paper, but in practice I think Hex has a clear advantage there. If Baiken wipes out Hex? The negative of the latter really hit a stride. Otherwise, I'd say a Hex blowout is far more feasible. Even in that case, Baiken is tougher to read than Mado, Tifa, or Shantae for example.

Madotsuki doing weaker against Miku would be a sign she's quite susceptible. Mado blowing out Miku would reinforce her powerhouse status. If Miku wins, well that's a whole other matter.

>Not only is Hex in but she got a shitty forced meta duck match
It's so over, she doesn't even have the shitty beach poll picture anymore so now she has the nigger buff again
