/tnt/ - Tournaments & Events

Undoubtedly Eggman:
>Lost to Bowser in the Death Battle
>Lost to Madotsuki in the runner-up department
>Lost to Shadow in the Sonic rep department
Three in a row.

>>172132
Seconding this

>>172132
Eggman's KWAB status is forced. There are people who unironically voted Shadow just to dunk on Eggman and the Death Battle shouldn't even matter. He's also an unironically good character and forcing him into KWAB status is lame.

>>172132
>lost to Rouge in the side tourney rep department

Erika
>got to the finals a second time in the side tournaments after beating Eggman
>despite beating Eggman she still lost again in the finals when everyone wins when they beat him
>still hasn't qualified yet again
>got less votes then a picture of a cat

>>172137
There's no shame in losing to another powerhouse, especially when that character is the runner-up. If nothing else it's not KWAB status worthy, just a run of the mill "popular character loses to another popular character". Call me if he loses to Steve or Red Pikmin or something, now THAT would be KWAB worthy
Also the biggest KWAB of Queen of /v/ this year is Vidya Butts and it's not even close

>>172137
Phoenix just has had bad luck in losing to another powerhouse.

>>172135
We just need Omega to win the /m/ tournament now to complete the Dark Team campaign

Here's the biggest nominations for each tournament as far as I'm concerned:
>Ms. /co/
Either Creepy Susie or E8fag
>Mr. /co/
Guy Gagne
>Queen of /v/
Vidya Butts
>King of /v/
Eggman

>>172142
Eyup, Still Tony

>>172142
Had to take a break from the black cocks and shit, Vince?

>>172141
Mr. should be Omni-Man, at least Gagne is a joke

In terms of just being the biggest fucking jobber ever? Banjo.
In spirit? Eggman.
Including posters? NSA easily. Followed by E8fag in a fairly distant 2nd.

In terms of who actually competed:
>Ms.
Chel
>Mr.
Mr. Krabs
>Queen
Bazz
>King
Geralt

>>172132
Don't forget that the first two happened on the same exact day.

>>172146
>Banjo
He made it to round 2 in Playboy, doesn't that count?

>>172132
To add to this
>lost to Dante TWICE and then Batter and Grimm, all whom later became kings
>lost to both Glamgals and Knockout Kings in the exact round 4, both whom became Co-op champions

>>172149
side porn /trash/ tourney? not really.

>>172132
>Lost to Sam in the Shitpost Showdown finals, meaning pity voting wasn't enough to save him

>>172141
>Creepy Susie
>there's still people who fall for Temp's blatant falseflag

>>172154
Temp was Susiefag?

>>172155
Yes lol

>>172156
How'd that get figured out? This is the first I'm hearing about it.

>>172158
It was being discussed here slightly previous to Queen and during it. And *I* didn't figure it out, multiple people came to the same conclusion at the same time.

>>172141
>Guy Gagne
forced meme

>>172155
>>172158
temp isn't susiefag, it's anons poopdicking
some people also tried to claim he was the frankiefag

>>172162
Psyanon...

>>172162
Escargot

>>172141
It's gotta be E8fag
>the rule you've been trying for years to get rid of is finally put on the vote
>spend the entire finals sperging out about why you think it should be gone
>75% of voters decide to keep it

Wouldn't it be funny if the E8 rule is eventually done away with but in a tournament that is NOT Ms. /co/ and has nothing to do with E8fag?

>>172168
/his/ voted not to use the E8 rule as I recall though admittedly that's not quite the same as revoking it

>>172166
Its fucking mental that this fag actually spent nearly 24 straight hours arguing on why E8 rule should be abolished only for it to kept by a significant margin.

>>172141
I'd go with
>Ms
E8 fag for sure. TWENTY-THREE HOURS? Keep in mind, that's how long he kept his TRIP ON. He was probably awake for LONGER than that, meaning that dude sacrificed at minimum a day's worth of sleep to lose at a 75% ratio
>Mr
agreed
>Queen
agreed
>King
I'd argue Battler. He went from having the fabled Battler vs 47 match, and being the only person to ever get the title "king of the losers", and lost to a dead-silent WALUIGI round 1. Eggman at least has some form of proxy recognition by a Sonic character finally winning something, Battler got NOTHING positive out of 2024.
And to add one more
>Playboy
For sure, Quote. The first top seed to EVER lose to the bottom seed in a seed bracket, and he was a huge meme in King /v/ to generate prior hype.

>>172171
Real Santa.
>>172172
Cringe LARPer.

>>172179
>he was a huge meme in King /v/ to generate prior hype.
Brap posting isn’t really the kind thing that generates positive hype.

>>172171
Not my Santa
>>172172
My FUARKING hero

For me, it's Mr. Mercurial-Darkness himself.
Motherfucker got his tumblr, pixiv AND twitter doxxed and admitted that it was his.

>>172185
To this day, i still don't know who posted his email for everyone to see. And likely, we never will know. But anyway, chalk it up to another cautionary tale on why you shouldn't have your username be the same name as your email.

>>172185
Who?

>>172185
Who the fuck are you talking about?

whew, that was close. we managed to go the whole year without a dbshitter winning something.

>>172205
AAAAAAIIIIIIEEEEEEEE

>>172203
>Toriyama dies
>Manga ends on a cliffhanger
>Daima's utterly pointless as a story, since it just take place between Buu and BoG and nothing from it is referenced in Super
>FOUR Toriyama characters have choked at finals, Piccolo, Freeza, Ayla, and Beerus
2024 has NOT been kind to Dragonball

>>172188
>>172191
sorry, lemme correct myself
uhhh the fucking dipperposter with the bulls and shit, that one

>>172205
AAAAIIIIIIIEEEEEE

>>172205
FATBROS

>>172203
Goku...

There's a few criteria for such a title. Could mean most losing-est loser, textbook jobber, or just the most dunked on or badly meta tarnished. Top to bottom for who I think is actually most deserving of the title each tourney.

Ms. /co/:
>E8fag (years of arguing about this shit and 24 hours straight in the finale to lose in a blowout lmao)
>MD (for real now, biggest gorillion OC's campaign two years in a row and still not a single character can break R1, including jobbing to an SU character)
>Primos (for proving despite their board presence they were the most irrelevant DTVA girl hit ever and it's not even close, seeds 900/1000's)
>Chel (disgraceful R4 hijinks/falseflagging all around, got dunked on by Pomnifags hard, lost her perfect E8 streak in a boomer icon vs. zoomer icon stand-off)
>Jessica Rabbit (continues being hyped up for her breakout potential, continues just being the E8 filter)
>Pacifica (lost her perfect R3 streak by losing in R2, continues being a power filter)
Mr. /co/:
>Black Hat (NSA's rig support wasn't enough to get him through convincingly and now he's got a fucked rep as her personal tumblr boy and seeds 400's)
>Guy Gagne (a fucking snail)
>Livesey (similar to Black Hat, NSA drama and perhaps just fading meme relevancy, went from narrow R4 loss and being meme hype of the year to seeding mid 200's)
>Eddy. (still can't get a fucking Edboy past R4 despite being THE nostalgia classic toon of /co/)
>Mr. Krabs (character kind of meta fucked by a spam meme, only real sponge rep. to not make E8 now, lost to Plankton)
Queen:
>AK-12 (failed to qualify and vidya butts fags being giant whiny bitches basically over their rigging not working)
>Tifa (she can't seem to shake the reputation of being the hated boring silent majority pick and getting raped by Reimu, even after getting a campaign this year. had the bad luck to narrowly beat a campaign favorite with very ardent fans and got trashed and 8th zoned behind fucking Miku as a result)
>Hornet (went from consistent powerhouse filter and runner-up that narrowly lost to Midna, to R1 loser against an opponent that would've been thought to be way weaker)
>Blaze (lost to someone like 120 seeds below her after her mysterious top 10 placement , some fag got really angry afterwards after not campaigning for her at all)
King:
>Banjo (Of course. Fucker has been crushed at R1 for six years now. Even Steve moved further than him.)
>Battler (went from LB winner then lost all his years-long hype and jobbed to silence to Waluigi in R2)
>Geralt (lot of hype and high ranks in /tnt/ tourneys, got mogged by an animal crossing character in the first round, has become a symbol of hypejobs and being an argument by example for anti-randomized people)
>HUNK (hitched to and used by Hexfag, became the Hexfag pick and spited)
>Doomguy (continues being a jobber power filter despite continual hype and attempts to regain first year glory, narrowly lost to a newbie)
/tnt/ and general tourney meta:
>Eggman (c'mon now)
>NSA (disgraced kicked out host, got investigated and dunked on most of the year)
>Queen /a/ host (moronic asshole, tourney got deleted and pissed on along with possibly the chance of ever having a full /a/ tourney)
>itoddler (continually dunked on spam bitch)
>Hexfag (became the controversy vortex of the last two months of the year, reputation tanked considerably and he handled it terribly, had a brief redemption of sorts at the end of King but then made an ass of himself shortly after)
>Quote (became brap pick, only character across any tourneys to be a topmost seed losing to a bottomost seed - in a smaller side tourney but still)
>Erika (continual runner-up despite having the Eggman rub, can't qualify in Queen, basically a symbol now of /tnt/ metapooners)

Kleiner might be up there. Despite this year being HL2's 20th anniversary and the game getting mod support, he got three-ruled by another Kleinerfag pick (Combine officer) who was only the 89th seed, while Gordon and G-Man were among the top 10. Kleinerfag also disowned him when anons started to realize how OOC he was.

>>172243
HUNK still had an impressive showing from qualifying at all considering he was always cucked by the series limit (he had the same amount of votes as Leon, even). Despite the Hexfag falseflagging he still had a pretty good reputation and his output for HUNK wasn’t even that high. I think him secretly being a Shadow OC maker pretty much overshadowed it.

>>172243
>HUNK hitched to and used by Hexfag
To be fair, I doubt HUNK would've even qualified if it wasn't for him.

>>172252
You mean because of Hexfag drawing for him, or because of the edits made during Queen over his art? In the case of the former then no, I think HUNK qualified because of his presence during the Queen tournament. The fact Hexfag wanted to support him "genuinely" didn't even come out until later.

>>172253
Yeah, Hex basically said in the OC itself that HUNK would only get his help if he could actually manage to qualify

>>172253
I doubt the edits would've been more than an amusing footnote if not for Hexfag actually acknowledging it at the end and making that picture of him with Hex. The reception to that was surprisingly positive and, at least for me, it convinced me to vote for him in the qualifiers and later down the line, too.
I'm biased because I was the one who dared Hexfag to draw that.

>>172249
It's funny that in retrospect, Sam not only had meme but also genuine campaigning as well. The memes were definitely a highlight but he was also out there doing actual Sam stuff. I doubt even they expected that

>>172255
Hexanon is a good artist, but I feel ambivalent towards most of his stuff knowing he cares more about the attention and the act of drawing for a community rather than pushing for certain characters out of passion for them and their games.

>>172257
Ironically enough, I think he is at his most passionate when.. campaigning for Hex lmao.

>>172258
I was about to mention that, yeah. Hex and to a lesser extent, Hat Kid, are the two characters he appears to be the most passionate about.

>>172259
It's weird because back in around 2022 there were a lot of genuine support for him and his pick. Especially during the loser's bracket moment where he was churning out like 4 drawings per thread and people say they will support him again. Come present day and now pretty much most people turned against him

>>172260
Or 2023 actually, I can't remember when the loser bracket shit happened.

>>172262
Sam for damn sure
>went from LITERALLY not nominated to 3rd place

>>172260
>>172261
Hex Maniac has been getting bashed as a contestant since the very beginning, there's even Hexfag OC dating back to 2022 with critical posts from the threads attached to it. If the character did well in 2023 without much controversy it's solely due to it being, well… the loser's bracket.
However, things only really turned against the drawfag himself during the Baiken vs. Hex match when he started addresing dissenters in a less than graceful manner. One thing led to another and right now Hexfag has the reputation of an attention whore who might care a bit too much about the parasocial aspects of the tournaments.

>>172264
That is probably it. People didn't care much because it was loser's bracket and Hexfag were still nice to everyone in a hindsight. Now after the Baiken incident his reputation is now not the same.
Doesn't Wariofag also have a similar reputation now? Which is kind of an ironic considering their little collabs

>>172266
Sorry Princessbro but the utter sore loser attitude from your fanbase after she lost ruins any claim of her being an uncrowned champion. I will keep voting for her again next year through.

>>172266
>Batter and Grimm
>Both niche picks that won after a bunch of people played through the game in threads
I'm starting to see it

>>172265
Yes, kinda. Only it's not ironic at all, both already campaign for the characters they do as a sense of reciprocated support for each other. Why do you think Hexfag's animation and other Wario fanart features both Land Wario and Ware Wario as two separate characters cooperating?

>>172262
Wonder how people will look back on Playboy and Playgirl

>>172273
>>172267
QRD on the assblast reaction from Princessfags? I sort of skipped threads around round 4

>>172272
I don't give a flying fuck and this sentiment will be agreed with both /co/ and /v/.
>But I care
Anon, be honest here, 90% of the site hates furries and doesn't give a solid ass shit to even bat an eye what degenerate retards are doing at /trash/. Some might be fan of Crystal or Lobo winning but those are most likely fans of the series, not a single other soul will care.

>>172274
I'll just let this speak for itself
https://arch.b4k.co/v/thread/694611805/#694613569

>>172275
Agreed, it's weird because you'd expect actual /trash/ rep like gacha chicks would be here but no it's just furries. So yeah it seems more like a tourney for tourneyheads rather than actual main thing.

>>172278
Everybody who's won so far is a /v/ or /co/ character, so yeah it probably is

>>172262
Dazai and Grox
Dazai made me finally try SMT
Grox is quite creative with tools he has.

>>172132
Death battle shouldn't even count, it has nothing to do with tourneys.
>>172136
Erika at least should've qualified for Next 128, right? How did she do there?

>>172253
Hexanon made a couple of pieces of HUNK OC at the end of Queen and promised he'd draw more if HUNK qualified, so he definitely played a part.

>>172259
I'm pretty sure Hat Kid drawfag is a different guy?

>>172286
Same person, he just switches brushes.

>>172287
Their stuff looks kind of similar in general ways, but it's also differently styled (monochrome vs. colored, black bars on top/bottom vs. no black bars).

>>172288
Anon, he uploads all his stuff under the same account in the old booru. Not to mention Hexfag uses black bars base to frame his regular art for other characters as well

>>172252
I mean HUNK would've qualified anyways since Chris didn't get enough votes to qualify

>>172284
that's the funny thing, she didn't since she got seed 295 meanwhile a random fuck off Goomba did because it got a higher seed then her

>>172291
Chris probably suffered from bystander effect this year
>HUNkfags just assume people will vote for Chris as usual
>Leonfags just doesn't care
it hurts because I nominated Chris in the first thread, did it as fast as I could.

>>172291
>>172293
It’s sad because I and other HUNKbros in threads did love Chris and we were mostly gunning for Wesker to be left behind. I love HUNK and of course would be happy with his win but I think Chris legitimately deserves to win one of these tournaments. Chrisposting is classic /v/ culture and Chris himself is and has proven to be in the past a really fun character to campaign. I’m baffled he wasn’t even excluded due to series limit and just got left out of top 128 entirely.

>deserves
When will people learn there's no word that bites them in the ass harder

>>172244
I wish people stopped attaching characters to people, I only made stuff for Kleiner because my main lost Round 1 in 2022 and I was bored, so I looked at who was left, saw him and said to myself "Kleiner is Gmod, messing around in Gmod could be fun".

>>172264
I think all the dicksucking in 2023 got to his head. The loser's bracket was a particular thing that fitted him, his choice of character, and tourney attitude, but it should've been pretty easy to see how he'd become very controversial. His crap pick actually doing good in the main tourney and becoming synonymous with him opened a can of meta worms about campaign vs. character and thread personality's.

>>172262
The UNKWABOTY barring winners is easily Sam. Biggest turnaround in tourney history. Went from former E8 getting dunked for no one even NOMINATING him, to 3rd place and premier meta meme of the year.

>>172304
MY FUARKING MEME HERO

>>172299
Considering there's two categories to this:
>he deserves for being a classic
>he deserves it because it's his only chance
It bites some, some it does not.

>>172275
I agree and think it’s pretty poor rep for a porn tourney but bringing that up is almost impossible cause of the place’s obsession with some schizo fag who spammed it.

>>172308
It tends to bite the former and gurantees the latter win.

>>172311
It’s exclusively a King problem because the other tournaments don’t really have that boost every year.

>>172262
Rocky the Flying Squirrel
>Goes from a character apparently associated with some schizo to being first 128 seed to beat a 1 seed on 4chan and actually getting support and OC onto round 3
Yeah it was the porn contest but he won't ever qualify for /co/ so I think that's the best result the character could have, and it'll be a tourney lore trivia for years onward

>>172313
Are you implying 2Bfags are butthurt and caused a bunch of shit? Cause 2Bfags don't even exist in tourneys.

>>172317
Nah, both had an E8 run a long time coming and have made it close before. Same goes to Popeye.

>>172321
The only active 2Bfag was, unfortunately, the same fag that brings /co/ in /v/ threads and kept shitting /trash/ tourneys.
You know who I am talking about.

>>172309
Who was your preference for Playboy?

>>172322
Soon as we got into the Elite Eight, I knew it was likely coming down to whoever won between Spider-Man and Popeye.

>>172325
Bazz's bitch?

>>172313
I figured Phonecuck was behind a lot of the Princess/Tifa shitflinging but I didn't realize he was spamming non-tourney threads with that shit, that's pretty low even for him

>>172338
The Playboy thread also mentioned he was behind some Samfagging in King. Can confirmed I wasn't him

>>172333
I'm not really especially gay so i didn't participate. From the looks of it it was another fur domination though.

>>172538
Funny thing is Beerus is a hairless cat, had he won he'd be the only character to technically please both the furry and not-furry crowd
