Since there was a CROSSBOARD DEATH BATTLE for this year, which was surprisingly evenly matched by the way, maybe it'd be fun to see how 2023's /co/ and /v/ Elite Eights would fare against each other in a fight. So who would win between
>Skeletor vs Grimm
>Zim vs Eggman
>Samurai Jack vs John Ward
>Optimus Prime vs Demi-fiend
>Hank Hill vs Scout
>Spongebob vs Solid Snake
>Dale Gribble vs Kazuma Kiryu
>Lord Farquaad vs Rayman

And the female side:
>Wuya vs Curly Brace
>Eris vs Amaterasu
>Toph vs Roll
>Raven vs Bayonetta
>Harley Quinn vs Malon
>Alex vs Fio Germi
>Clover vs Ashley Graham
>EVE vs Taokaka

I think this depends where you poll it. Overall /v/ is the bigger voterbase by a long shot so you'd probably get preference to them among tourney participating crowds, that includes if you held it here. But in a general neutral everywhere sense:
>Skeletor, Grimm's not very popular
>Eggman
>Jack
>Prime, SMT is kind of niche
>Close one, could narrowly go either way, maybe Scout since I think TF2 is more dispersed than KoTH now
>Close one, maybe slightly Solid Snake

Farquaad vs Rayman could be fun but it depends on how we can scale Farquaad. He gains ghost abilities in Shrek 4D and subsequent lore from the comics reveals that he refuses to let his spirit go away, survives the event of Shrek 4D (where his ghost is seemingly destroyed), and slayed exactly 1,000 men in the "Battle of 1000 Deaths".

As the maker of the winner roster pics, I'm actually gonna be waiting until all of other the side tourneys are done before Ms. /co/ happens like I did with last year. Honestly, it was somewhat of a last-minute thing for me because of how varied the side winners were and I thought it'd be funny to make a DeviantArt-esque ensemble for them.

Someone mentioned before Frankie despite being pretty universal pick wasn’t so celebratory cause she just felt like a belated win. Basically she should have won 2019 or 2021. Basically Spinel’s fault and ensuing weirdness from that.
I’d also say Madotsuki was a belated win from 2021 and that was part of the reason there didn’t feel like much fanfare. Ideally the first collection of years is used for retiring obvious picks but meta creeps up very quickly.

Finals was pretty cordial. I just think the afterparty was low energy. I think it was mostly the tourney being dumpy up to finals (mostly involving what >>178375 mentioned) that made a lot of people lose enthusiasm. Mado not being a fresh face and all the stuff about Recette and 2021 making it seem like she should already have won anyways might've had some to do with it.

That's the problem that we've fucked ourselves into. King 2025 is going to be a shitshow of people wanting to finally push an E8 winner, but at the same time it might make that tournament feel like ass if we inorganically push a character into winning just for the sake of "fixing" the tournament. I agree with the sentiment that King really should've had an E8 winner by now but I also have non-E8 mains and don't want to push them aside just for the sake of unfucking King.
We really entered the bad timeline in my opinion, the comparisons have been made before but it feels like what would've happened if Zim beat Skeletor in 2023.

It's odd too cause Queen is the opposite, having had three former E8's in six years, more than any other tourney.
>would've happened if Zim beat Skeletor in 2023.
I don't know, Zim was #1 seed and had always been a high potential character. The bigger problem there would've been the eventual NSA connection. I think it's more like Livesey winning. Had that happened i'm sure you would start seeing way more complaints beyond Jack poster about Mr. being tourney hype based and not retiring anyone big or conventional.

Whilts I agree with everything else expressed in the other post, every time I see anons disparage Zim as if he were some weird campaign fluke run I get the impression I'm speaking with someone from a bizarro alt-timeline. It's one thing to say Zim was the underdog in a tourney context (which he absolutely was), but IZ itself is a /co/ staple and nobody would be surprised to see him next to the other champions had he won. That's not even going over how he always seeds high and was shy of making E8 in 2019.

If anything, it should go to show how consistent Mr. /co/ voters are about picking its finalists in general.

Zim's stigma is weird. Because he's a high-performing character sightly below elite but is never brought up in tournaments outside the stigma that NSA campaigned for him one year and is portrayed as a fluke
Consider that
>He qualified every year besides the weird 2018 year of limited nominations where he was not nominated
>His lowest seed ever was #12
>He has had a 1st or 2nd seed three times
>He made round 4 before his finals run
>Never lost round 1
>He has beaten many strong characters before
And it's clear it isn't just a fluke or NSA's sole work. He's close to elite but not quite there.
He's one matchup result against Bugs, one anon drunkingly nominated him in 2018, one statistic from being portrayed differently

It wasn't as clearly many anons had fun with it. It started when someone got a lucky 5 that states Grimm rapes Yugi, coming off the hype of rapist face-off with Rance. Then a couple of anons made drawing about it causing many funny reactions. Series of lucky and funny gets followed and that's how it all started.
An example of something being actually forced would be cuck Luigi and 2B shota castration.

So just like with the Freddy getting shoved into Sam posting? Your argument doesn't make any sense. Inserting losers into the threads will always be perceived as "forced" because it distracts from the characters that are still in. I would even argue that Grimm Yugi poopoo rape was even worse by virtue of not having anything do with a match.

How can it be forced if the threads like it and have fun to with it, more so than some matches where nothing happens or where one drawfag is facing a brick wall that doesn't do anything?
What else do you consider forced?

No. Samposting is here to stay but it could have been avoided if there was no seething at the original post. Hell, Samposting could have happened with any character that did a funny face in those circumstances.

Kinda got me thinking about an old query: how discussed, comparatively, were all the winners after they won? Also just how used and RP'd and all that? Some winners seem to have way more presence than others, usually for negative reasons though.
The most recent winners have less time to judge on but I think in the next few years you'll hear a lot more about Shadow, a fair amount of Spiderman (if just for being a good comic winner finally), and Mado and Frankie are basically just agreeable winners with not much to say about them.

The Witcher filler was nominated for the sole purpose of getting Geralt to a higher seed. Losing to Tom Nook in round 1 proved he was a fluke who benefitted from randomized brackets.

I barely saw any discussion regarding Geralt at all. I really don't see what the deal with this character even is being brought up this goddamn much.
In fact, I have seen Geralt being mentioned unfathomably more times after he lost. This almost seems to be forced, it isn't funny or engaging either. I'm making this regard because the only times I have seen discussion around geralt is when he's getting complied as a jobber or loser that profited off of randomized brackets.

I disagree, there definitely were at least a few anons hyping Geralt up and one was being obnoxious with retarded fortnite dances. They especially were really rampant on here when it came to it, but they've since gone quiet.
Although you actually bring up a honestly good point, I have seen more discussions around Geralt after round 1 than prior. Something I have noticed is that he's always brought up for his results and ALWAYS his E8 runs on /tnt/ without fail. It wouldn't be a stretch at all to say this is terrible E8fag just being autistic about it, I remember vividly that he included Geralt in his terrible E8 list.

That's even worse, in my opinion. Honestly, just like the women's royal rumble they should have put Hendry and Alexa as their respective #30th. Don't get me started on that Penta botch as well

I think he used Geralt for the randomized argument because he happened to be the most extreme case of it, as seen with him being the 126th seed beating the 128th and 123rd seeds in a row until Eggman. I can't think of anyone else who could fit that mold, and even Livesey himself is debatable because in his debut year he jobbed to a 100th seed in round 3 and took out a much higher seed right away the year after.

It's scarcely been pointed out but Ellis last year had a very funny randomization run. First time qualifying and made R3. In the first two rounds he got Banjo followed by Steve (the two biggest KoV joke jobbers) then faced Denton and got annihilated.

kek, I remember that. Then again, Banjo and Steve both had noticeably higher seeds than Ellis so really it was him beating two designated jobbers in a row (and Steve lucked out by facing a completely nerfed Nyarly in round 1) rather than being a really vocal low seed going up against other low seeds that were relatively silent.
