I want multiple joke characters in elite 8

Mike Tyson's definitely not going to qualify this time.

>>164540
You have read Umineko right

>>164423
We need him out of the whitelist

>>164423
Imagine if Jake Paul ends up in Elite 8.

Okay, the most dimes tourney of the year is next.

Calling it now 2024 will be the year that redeems King of /v/ and ushers in a new golden age for /v/ tournaments, washing away the disgrace of Queen of /v/ 2024 in the process
You better be fucking ready boys this is going to be like The Godfather Part I + Part II back to back

>>165418
It's honestly about time.
HUNK always gets enough votes to qualify, the biggest hurdle will be getting him to qualify over Chris, Leon, and Wesker.
Leon feels guaranteed to silentfag his way to the top and Chrisposting is too powerful. Wesker might not have the hype he has in 2022 and NSA association could hurt him, so he's probably the best bet of anyone has to sit out.

>>165418
I don't vote for Resident Evil in the Qualifiers because I don't care about the series, but I'll give him a vote this time.

MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT

OUT OF MY SON CAPTCHA STUCK CAPTCHA STUCK

>>165418
I'm still gonna campaign Chris this year but this development is very funny. We'll see

I'm going to support Father Garcia and I hope to see Johnny Cage again. The OCs last year were hilarious and I hope to see more of the anon who made them

>>165419
This gonna be The Godfather Part 3, the better one.

The yiik update is happening December 2nd. It's over bros

>>165718
Maybe you could put a little reference to our favorite jobber Eggman.

>>165855
>ACK studios can release more cope

>>165858
Still managed to release before silksong which is funny.

>>165862
It's because Yiik is a actually good game.

>>165863
His classic Yiik stare

>>165863
He looks like he really wants to say it.

>>165869
Say what anon?

>>165870
Bejita being undefeated against Goku

>>165870
it

>>165928
I'll vote for him as much as I voted for Oogie and Bramball

>>165953
>>165954
Perfect, good job anon

>>165954
Sorry for not commenting last time, but I think you nailed it here!

There's gonna be a YIIKBILLION votes until Alex is unfortunately forced to fight the top seed and lose.

>>166046
Anon they're getting rid of the whitelist Geralt is going to be shit and finished

I think Geralt fits more as /v/‘s Livesey than AM.

>>166048
>/lit/ characters who never had a seed above 100 who had a free ride to round 3 by beating other low seeds through randomization up until they face an actual threat

>>166047
>revoting on the whitelist during qualifiers
>anons will be campaigning their whitelist picks not even knowing if they’ll be allowed at the end
What a great idea, nothing will go wrong.

>>166051
I think it'll be pretty funny.

>>165855
ALRIGHT BOYS
Post your predictions for the top 10 seeds, doesn't necessarily have to be in any order
>1. Alex YIIK
>2. Phoenix Wright
>3. Jetstream Sam
>4. JC Denton
>5. TF2 character (probably Heavy)
>6. Vergil
>7. Half-Life character, toss-up between G-Man and Gordon Freeman
>8. Agent 47
>9. Wario
>10. Raiden

>>166062
>All save picks + Alex YiiK because le funny Yiikman update
Boring

Rank 2022's elites by how likely they are to be E8 again.

>>166065
From most to least, imo
>J.C. Denton
>Travis Touchdown
>Phoenix Wright
>AM
>Jack Frost
>Albert Wesker
>Luigi

>>166062
Not bothering with the order mostly, but I do agree with at least some of these here. Phoenix is absolutely top three after Maya's own seed, and I would say Edgeworth will also rank top ten. Alex is going to seed very well just off timing, so he's another safe bet. Going to make a wild bet that Battler could go up. I think Luigi is going to be nine exactly. Just a gut feeling. Mario is in the teens range while Bowser is around middle of 20s. Heavy will be back. Raiden will be back. Vergil is a great bet. Regigigas will be the top sixth, but top 10 is a question. Still a fun guess to say he goes HIGH.

If I had to say then?
>1. Phoenix Wright
>2. JC Denton
>3. Regigigas
>4. Miles Edgeworth
>5. Heavy
>6. Alex
>7. Raiden
>8. Vergil
>9. Luigi
>10. Battler

>>166067
What WILL Battlers seed be, actually? He's guaranteed entry, thanks to winning loser's bracket. I don't remember the hosts going over this. Would it make Battler the automatic top seed, or would he be the very bottom? Or split dead in the middle, at 64?

>>166070
Shodan also had a guaranteed entry on Queen, and she still was put in the qualifiers.

>>166071
Huh. So the "guaranteed entry" is pretty much just a safeguard if there were too little votes or a series limit were to apply?

>>166072
In that case, whoever got seed 128 would basically be Shit and Finished.

Who are the hyped up characters going into this King? Last year for example was Rayman after the show and Rabbids DLC, which ended up paying off since he got to E8.

>>166074
Alex, since he has an update happening December 2nd.

I'm making a poster for King 2024. All the past kings are in it including Dante. A pose I'm drawing him in requires Dante to be holding a knife. Is there a particularly cool knife from one of his games?

>>166076
>>166076
Dante's basically never been a knife guy, he's just about always using big swords. However...
Devil May Cry 4 - Lucifer HD (720p)
You could probably get away with using a blade from Lucifer, if you shorten the summoned blade a bit.

Alternatively, taking one of his signature big swords, and shrinking it down to knife-size, could be funny.
Or him TRYING to use one of his big swords like a knife, without shrinking it down, would be even more comical.

>>166074
regigigas

why did TF2 characters jobbed in miss?

>>166103
Scout's Mom and Pyro are meme picks, nobody actually cares about Miss Pauling like that.

>>166104
I'd prefer if Administrator got in over Scout's Mom or Pyro since the latter are both kind of wastes of slot, Pyro moreso since at least Scout's Mom usually is involved in funny OC even if she is a free win for whoever she's up against (yes even turbo jobbers like fang would probably beat her), Pyro just kind of does nothing and then loses round 1 while his own fans wish he were in King instead

>>166103
Only real pushes are Miss Pauling and Administrator

>>166104
>>166106
Miss Pauling jobbing round 1 this year was somewhat worth noting after she seemed to be getting potential momentum last year. So much for all that.

>>166076
Agni & Rudra maybe

>>166107
TF2 getting a Queen winner will never happen. That’s like Touhou winning King of /v/.

>>166110
Maybe, but I still think Pauling could least be touching Elite Eight with the right effort.

King this year will have a winner that breaks the curse of having winners that break curses in 2024

King of /v/ 2024 is a story... About breaking a curse.

>>166115
What if king of /v/ never breaks the curse?

>>166117
then the /v/ tournaments will be trapped in the loop

>>166118
I want the loop to stay.

>>166118
What if Ko/v/ was TRAPPED and BETRAYED in hyperbolic time loop?

>>166122
>Say, wasn't this also a rule added by NSA?
No, it's been standard since forever. And it makes sense; why should a character be given the two chances of participating in both the female and male tournament?

>>166122
It's an unfortunate side effect of /v/'s rules.
/co/ doesn't have problems with ambiguously-gendered characters at all, since usually there's a voice that can be used to sort them into Ms. or Mr., and even if they don't, there's no way they'd actually qualify. But /v/ has had four characters participate in both tourneys (Terry, Baba, Cacodemon, JPEG Dog even though he's definitively male) with the possibility for many more (Pyro, basically all Pokemon, etc.).

So, since absolutely nobody wants characters taking up space in BOTH tourneys, the obvious solution is that if they get in one, they can't get in the other that year. And since Queen always comes first and basically nobody wants to change that, that means anyone who gets in Queen gets locked out of King, even if they'd do better there.

It'd require a special ruling to change this, and unfortunately there's not really a pressing need to do so. Baba's doing just fine, BETTER even, in Queen than it ever did in King. Terry hasn't qualified in ages, and JPEG Dog is a joke character. And even IF Pyro got special permission to be banned from Queen next year to give them a chance to participate in King, they'd still have to beat the other TF2 characters for one of the three franchise slots, and... well, I wouldn't put money on that possibility.

>>166123
>why should a character be given the two chances of participating in both the female and male tournament?
-The two tournaments have people vote for completely different reasons (Queen is waifu/porn, King is memes/cool)
-Characters that qualify for both will do better in one tournament over the other (Gardevoir will never get anywhere in King, same for Pyro in Queen)
-If people don't want a character to qualify in King after getting in Queen, they'll just not vote for them
-The rule is fucking gay

>>166126
>last year's TF2 qualifiers were Heavy, Scout, and Spy
>Scout made E8, so he's out of the running this year
>but that just means that the third TF2 qualifier will likely be one of Engie or Soldier instead
>even in an absolute "cataclysmic for KoV, but godsent for Pyro" scenario where three TF2 characters make Top 8 in a single year (let's say Heavy, Scout, and Spy), and he's allowed to participate in the next one, he's still at the back of line behind Engie, Soldier, Medic, Demo, and Saxton fucking Hale
There's no gentle way to put this, but Pyro is fucked no matter what
He wouldn't even make it if the franchise limit was increased to 4, and that's an extremely unpopular idea as is

>>166126
All this says is that Pyro could qualify.
>Pyro will never get anywhere in King, either.
He will absolutely do better in King than fucking Queen.

>>166114
was curious as to how the payday gang would fair, I thought last year with 3's release it would boost them, but obviously it came out and was shit so none of them got in
fun fact, before becoming a host I wanted to try to learn to mod pd2 so I could create a custom election day heist where you rig King /v/ polls instead of the machines, ifk if I mentioned this before or not so let me know if my brain is dying

>>166130
Oh no Hexfag sweep imminent.

Wouldn't it be funny if hunk didn't qualify solely because of battler getting a guaranteed spot?

>look at an IHNMAIMS thread earlier
>some anon was sperging out about AM and accusing it of being a stealth thread
>other anons were completely confused

>>166147
I've seen that happen in OFF and Recettear threads before too
I guess certain tourney autists *cough bad E8 fag* don't realize people actually like these characters outside of a tournament context

>>166128
No he won't, if people aren't willing to campaign for Pyro in Queen what makes you think they will in King?

>>166136
My pick would be the cause of bomb even existing and to be about to blow up. That's said, no, he can't defuse the bomb in both of his "forms"

>>166147
I think the funniest one had to be when an OFF thread was sperging about Batter, and cried "Even Alex would be better"

>>166132
I think I planned on just changing text around mostly and a few textures to make it King/Queen /v/ themed

>>166154
That was pretty funny.

>>166155
Can you still do it for this year?

>>166164
Sometimes I wonder if the creator of a game popular enough to have characters qualified for these are able to campaign for them, and if that'll be enough for them to win.

We should nominate Dedan

>>166165
That'd be really gay of them to be perfectly honest

MegaChud (Megaman Fangame) FULL Game Playthrough (+Download link)

Can he qualify?

>>166165
>>166168
The creator would not only have to answer to normies about participating in these tournaments (because of the whole "le 4chan SPOOKY and EVIL" stigma), but their character would just be tainted by those who felt the tournaments were hijacked. Not saying it's impossible, but I'd weigh on it not happening bar very specific circumstances.

>>166165
The creator of the Blu Rivers comic themself actually campaigned in Ms. /co/ last year and the character won bottom 128.

>>166171
Thought the creator only made art once Blu won?

>>166173
See now THAT is based, you like a character enough to show off your take of them to the creator itself. It's not the same as the creator shilling their character, that's just cool as hell completely divorced from tourney stuff.
I was going to do the same with a drawing I had made and an actor that played the character I drew, but the faggot was simply late and never showed up. After I had paid for tickets and driven way out of town to the convention center. Yes I'm still mad about it.

>>166172
No, they made a few drawings during the tourney. it was afterward more people noticed. I think there was so much controversy in the threads it sort of got overlooked when it was happening.

>>166130
Hunkbros, can we do it this year?

>>166187
If he does make it in I really hope his campaign is actually about the character and not just some meta drawfag shit or Hex simping
Both because it'd be a gay way to spoil years of anticipation of him finally making it in and also I'd rather not bring Queen's baggage into King

>>166190
As someone who's gonna campaign for him I genuinely hope the Hexfag won't draw for him because one, I hate that fag and two, if he can't get in without his help that means he's just never worthy for the main brackets in the first place. I really hope he can get in.

>>166193
Whenever I play Spore, I stop after reaching the Space stage.

>>166193
Somehow I still recognize that as Battler no matter how deformed he looks

>>166204
>basically aborted in development by EA
I'm really starting to think every game EA gets their hands on ends up getting fucked in the middle of development, no exceptions.

>>166205
They robbed me of my money with Darkspore ages ago, haven't given them a cent since.

>>166193
I was making a spore adventure for queen but I dropped it when oogie lost in barred, Play whatever you make for king.

>>166191
Hating him seems overdramatic tee bee eych

I think Hexanon's someone just in it for fun but let all the creaming he got get to his head. It's annoying how he basically became the central focus and director of last QoV and it almost makes me rather prefer he didn't return desu.

>>166229
I think it's a case about being "too dedicated" combined with a lot of skill. If I spent 24/7 making AI voice dramas with characters instead of spacing things out, it'd probably get really old, so I kind of get it.

>>166191
If Hexfag can keep it in character like he did with Eggman then I welcome the support.

>>166235
I don't know why, but something about that statue makes me respect its strength

Honestly, most of the blame falls on the anons, especially the falseflaggers. Hexanon was just sharing OC occasionally. As for the Bainken drama, it's really just a non-issue that’s been exaggerated way out of proportion by funposters.

>>166237
The word being "character". Had he been supporting an actual character with a canon accurate campaign last QoV there wouldn't have hardly been any controversy at all. In fact his whole Eggman campaign's only critique was when he decided to insert his Hex OC for some weird friendship powerup at the end.

>>166241
>murderjobbers

>>166239
That's an understatement. Hexanon is a machine and the single most prolific OC anon ever. Naturally he becomes a tourney celeb and draws huge attention to whatever he supports. His main support happens to be a controversial non-character. Shenanigans ensue.

>tfw could've gotten Hexfag to draw my main for King if I spammed a bunch of edits of him in his art and astroturfed enough support for it

>>166241
Bro this is the King of /v/ thread why are you talking about MDfags

>>166245
>the single most prolific OC anon ever.
that would be nsa

>>166177
>actual creator of a show makes art for the tourney but anons are too busy being drama queens to notice
Classic Ms. /co/ moment

>>166272
playground-tier comeback

>>166276
I wasn't trying to "comeback" at shit I was asking a question, why is Jobber Drones being brought up out of nowhere

>>166276
Comeback to what? What were you even trying to say?

>>166291
Dante > Armstrong > Garland > Grimm > Batter

>>166291
People love to pick on Garland, but he at least had a pretty solid bracket to go up again. Doomguy, Jetstream Sam, Pepsiman, and AM?
Same with Grimm, there's some respectable picks to take down.
Armstrong and Dante pretty much had hell matches from round 4 onwards, their victories are undeniably well-earned
Batter's bracket was basically a free ride, Isaac Clarke was the only contender not a complete wet fart until the finale against Eggman
Also fun pattern I noticed, Pepsiman, Scout, and Doomguy have been defeated by winners twice now

>>166160
not enough time to be honest, even if I wasn't super busy rn

>>166317
Even then, how much of a push did Isaac have pre-2023? I remember the hate when Engineer beat him but not much otherwise.

>>166318
If you can't do it for this year, you might as well get it ready for Ko/v/ 25.

>>166296
I'd switch Grimm and Garland but otherwise yeah I think it's at least safe to say Dante had the hardest bracket and Batter had the easiest

>>166274
>Actual creator of a show that only got into the bottom 128
Of course most people didn't care, wake up the voters when they see someone who worked on Space Jam make campaign art for Lola or something.

>>166322
Apparently not much, when Morshu of all characters fared significantly better against Batter, and he was AFTER the schizo glasses TTGL hype posting

>>166245
> the single most prolific OC anon ever.
that would be groxfag

>>166380
Pretty much. Round 3 of 2022 was controversial in general.

>>166380
>image
Didn't valve remove that? I remember some fag tried sneaking some tranny shit onto one of his submissions and it got removed immediately after he started gloating about it

>>166383
going by the mod to restore it the answer is yes

>>166387
Nah, I can appreciate that level of autism. Just save it for the actual tournament.

>>166391
What are you talking about, you can't just post a random image and say that everyone is being stupid without saying why.

>>166392
I legitimately have no idea what point this guy is trying to get across he's just kind of being incoherently angry over some unspecified issue while posting Murder Drones pictures for some reason. Is this some kind of Ms. /co/ thing I'm not getting?

>>166393
No I'm a Ms /co/ fag and I don't get it either.

One of my hopes is that Mad Rat qualifies. Love that fucking game.

Sometimes I feel bad about the people making all kinds of art to get a character further just to fail at that, but then I remind myself it's a 4chan tourney and the idea is to make art for characters and matchups, and you really do have to acknowledge the fact that your character can still lose. With bracket luck and the inconsistencies of qualifications, as well as Madotsuki losing early in 2023 just to win in 2024, I think as long as a character is fairly popular, they have a chance to win under certain conditions. There have been a few winners who have won through sheer force, but there's also some who have won simply because they got there.

>>166398
I'm still not a big fan of randomized brackets. Seeded brackets fuck over the very low seeds but randomized brackets have a chance of fucking over anyone under the high seeds.

I knew that /v/ would choose randomized brackets. They didn't have Stats and Temp so they don't have this culture of reverence towards the traditional way to do things, plus they're more volatile so they will always go towards the option that will seem more fun.

>>166402
Yeah I don't know which I prefer but randomized can fuck with some things and is a big issue in some cases, while low seeds can get fucked over by traditional brackets and there are some really good low seed characters

>>166403
Pretty much. I think /v/ is going to stick to randomized brackets until a controversial round 1 shuffle happens, to which people will overreact.

>>166402
Scratch that, it fucks over high seeds too. Maybe if you main mid/low seeders it helps but stuff like Miles vs Heavy and Shantae vs Mado being Round 1 matches feel insane.

>>166406
I personally preferred traditional and I can live with randomized but I do agree I don't like getting shit like 1st vs 4th, 11th vs 5th, and 9th vs 3rd all in the first round, feels anticlimactic.
Also Ayla is a funny case of a successful low seed because under traditional she would've faced BS Alice in the first round, who she beat. It's not even a case of "this low seed had more time to gain momentum" since I don't remember Ayla's campaign really starting until round 3-4, so it's likely she would've still had similar or the same results under traditional despite being a 125th seed. Which makes for a way more compelling underdog story in my opinion, being a successful low seed isn't nearly as fun when you're beating a bunch of 60-110 seed jobbers in a row and basically lucking your way through instead of actually beating the odds.

>>166396
We know, Wario

>>166402
That's why Randomized is better, everyone has a chance of getting fucked over, not just the bottom seeds. The argument that Seeded is better because it means the high seeds will campaign more is not true, it's the opposite if anything.
I think we should try out that "#1 seed vs #2, #3 vs #4..." seeding that was brought up, it could be interesting.

>>166412
Whatever you say, Kleinerfag.

>>166412
>I think we should try out that "#1 seed vs #2, #3 vs #4..." seeding that was brought up, it could be interesting.
This. If you can't beat a seed directly above your own, you don't deserve to be in

>>166412
>I think we should try out that "#1 seed vs #2, #3 vs #4..." seeding that was brought up, it could be interesting.
I originally thought that's what seeded meant. What's the fucking point of having No.1 vs No.128, No.2 vs No.127 and the like. Only interesting stuff will be in the middle.
Randomized creates chaotic and fun matchups but it can fuck over a high seed as much as a low seed.
Your idea is also great because theoretically every match could be hard to tell.

>>166417
It also means every character has a reason to campaign, since everyone is against someone of "near equal popularity".

How do we get rid of the /dbs/pics?

>>166396
Same

>>166412
>everyone has a chance of getting fucked over, not just the bottom seeds.
How is this better? “Looks like your main got unlucky, better luck next year’s bracket”?

>>166417
>What's the fucking point of having No.1 vs No.128, No.2 vs No.127 and the like.
To benefit higher seeds. That's the actual explicit purpose of it. To keep them from being out early and let them build hype by taking out jobbers before they face each other. It's been said already this works better in skill-based sports than a popularity contest.

>>166421
you can't anymore as they've been seeping out of the site and spreading fat and wide, why else do you think dbz_episode_121 is a tag on e621?

>>166424
>"Oh? You finally got your guy qualified, even if it's low seed?"
>"Well, FUCK YOU FAGGOT! Here, this seed 3 guys will fastly destroy your participant in round 1. Have fun!"
Randomised is the equality. If someone is destined to get fucked, than everyone should have about the same chance to get fucked by gods of randomisation.
>but muh rigging
If host needs to rig a seeded bracket, he just rigs it in qualifiers results.

Reminder that the lowest seeded winner ever (Recette) won on a traditional bracket.

>>166428
>>"Well, FUCK YOU FAGGOT! Here, this seed 3 guys will fastly destroy your participant in round 1. Have fun!"
remember when Izzy beat Loona in 2021? good times. we were so innocent back then.

>>166430
Ironically /co/ would never let this happen, and they're the bigger sticklers for traditional.

>>166426
It still applies in logic to a popularity contest. The arguments over randomized always boil down to encouraging meta and what's "interesting" rather than a more organic "best of the board" kind of result. At least in principle. In practice it's about the same at the end.

Seeded essentially sees the qualifier round as a competition on its own, upholding the premise that a higher seed will grant you a more feasible bracket, or at least at the beginning. In theory this would give not just heavy hitters but tournament regulars as a whole a reason to campaign during qualifiers (how this upholds in practice is another discussion). A different important point is how it also rewards rising momentum through consecutive tournaments, see: John Ward in 2022 vs 2023, Madotsuki in 2021 vs 2023.
The main argument used to advocate for Randomized is the possibility of preventing the bottom seeds from immediately losing, and a lot of times these positions tend to go to contestants who are just making their debut (though not necessarily). I think it's no wonder people who generally campaign for qualifier jobbers and only qualifier jobbers and nothing else to think it as the superior choice because they don't really see the bigger picture. Needless to say Randomized can and will fuck over campaign newbies who otherwise would have had a more balanced first round match, see: Asterix in 2023, Ruby Rose in 2024.

>>166403
You're giving too much credit to Temp lol. I've probably argued more for a "traditional" approach than he has. If anything he hurts it by being such a notorious sperg. I think it really just comes down to /co/'s temperament being different. As a smaller userbase with a more focused medium it's autism is more elaborate and neurotic in turn. /v/ as has been pointed out many times by now is a fast, highly populated, retarded kind of autism and doesn't think too much about consequences, that is until the crossboarding increased.

>>166445
Don't side tournamnets (both the one's mid-tourney and on /tnt/) exist for that crowd though? imo main tourneys should just be the big main thing, where the actual wider board champion material competes. The rest can be the more specific tourney autist fun.

>>166390
Okay. I have it as both a .txt file I can catbox, and a gargantuan image that's like 6700x4800 or something like that

>>166445
i think people do see the bigger picture, they just don't care.
the thing about qualifier jobbers is that there's a lot of overlap in their supporters. everyone's got their main, but they also have several backups they can switch to. but when all your backups also eat dirt right out the gate, there's little reason not to say "fuck this" and outright leave. but nobody wants to do this, so they try to create conditions where every character they were mildly excited about doesn't immediately lose.
now, i don't think randomized is the solution to such woes. but a lot of other qualifier campaigners do.

tl;dr nobody cares about the "bigger picture" if the tournament experience isn't enjoyable

>>166445
/v/ hates silentfags while /co/ loves them, you can do absolutely nothing the first 4 rounds and be remembered as a beloved winner. Naturally, /co/ will like whatever gives the silent majority a free ride, while /v/ will want anything it can get to advance campaigning

>>166453
...according to my headcanon, of course

>>166457
Furthermore, while partaking in /tnt/'s tournaments can indeed be fun, it's just a very different energy and atmosphere from those on 4chan. A lot of this simply comes down to these kind of tournaments not happening on the main site.

I think at the end of the day people just kind of gotta accept their lowcard or jobber mains won't do well and not try to bend and piss all over a tourney when it happens, and their best recourse is indulging in side tourneys and pushing their picks there. Of course people won't accept that and these squabbles will continue but it's my thought.

>>166453
This whole meta argument started with /co/. Silents have been trashed just as much on /co/, look at the whipping and falseflagging Chel received the last few runs over her status. It's not a /co/ or /v/ thing, just a tourneyfag thing.

Unfunny, stale meme forced by a single autist.

Now imagine if this character had an extremely dedicated drawfag who made a dozen quality pics a round and Pikman beat the #1 seed and made semifinals. Then King would have the Queen experience this year.

Also all the pikmin drawings are off-model and ooc like that pic.

Adachi is unironically winner material though

I might get shit from this but I really think that Geralt might've been a higher seed only if he managed to have other witcher characters nominated alongside him. Some of these characters either were part of a franchise or were tourney staple characters. Geralt meanwhile had been up to that point a solo nominee in sheet of 1300+ nominated contestants.
2023 saw another witcher character, Letho of Gulet, also nominated which is what I think managed to tip the scale and have Geralt qualify for the tournament.

And to make the math, Letho had 27 votes which isn't a lot but these were most likely shared votes with Geralt who had 119 votes. 119 - 27 sums to 92 votes which is around the same Geralt had in King /v/ 2022.

>Actual picks like Geralt were sent to die against Eggman
... In round 3, winning against same low seed characters prior to that.
Now let's if it was seeded bracket whom he fights:
>Doomguy in Round 1
Well, good luck there Geralt, hope you have that samechad army with you in that round.

"Funniest" as in "potential to cause the wildest reactions"?

>>166666
Sam, Battler, Rance, any of the whitelists

Actually, Terry participated in both Queen and King all the way back in 2019.

What was Phoenix doing in the Pony tournament?

>>166666
Well quintuple satan, if we're talking "funniest" as in "cause the most seethe" it'd absolutely be a whitelist character. Half of the afterparty would just be shrieking "not vidya", it might be a bigger disaster than Spinel. If funny by "Does absolutely nothing" either Kiryu or Jack Frost. If funny by "Biggest Shitpost" Jetdtream Sam, entirely for the "wouldn't it be funny" meme

>>166666
Sam would break the same series curse and cause shitflinging because of that and the "Wouldn't it be funny" meme
