/tnt/ - Tournaments & Events

I’m feeling this one is going to be harder to fill than /co/‘s because so many games are geared for single player, 2 player or 4 player. 3 player is that weird middle where there aren’t many characters made to represent as a trio as opposed to just individuals or duos. /co/ has many trios ready to bat for this but it feels /v/ has just a few.

>>186187
>/co/ trios is largely serious with who gets voted ahead
>/v/ trios turns up largely into a non-serious event
That would check out.

>>186310
Shouldn't this be brought up in another thread.

Maybe? Trios just seemed like a fruitless endeavor despite the talk.

>>186187
Should be teams of 3-4. There are lots of reasons to do it that way and pretty much no reason not to.

>>186170
next year as in 2026? damn

I don't think crossover trios would be very prevalent but I would still campaign and support Wario, Peppino, and Anton.
Anton meets Peppino and Wario

Bringing this back

>>230283
When are we having it?

>>230286
After Trio of /co/.

Bringing this up again since it's supposed to happen next. I dunno.

>>242411
It currently needs a host since coayynon isn't going to do it

(we've been doing tournaments every 2 or 3 weeks for months)

Are ya'll good

>>242414
Right it's kinda ridiculous lol. After the loli tourney I think I'm done until September.

What if we speaking generally here saved /v/ Trios for next summer?

>>242414
>>242416
>>242417
I see no reason we can’t have /v/ trios this year, even if we have to push it to July.

>>242414
WE CAN STOP WHENEVER WE WANT

>>242417
You know what? Sure. The /v/ tournaments started one year after the /co/ ones. I guess Trio of /v/ can wait. Fuck, my mind is going places after these recent tournaments.

>>242442
Waiting just because the tournaments in main started a year late is not a good reason.

Looking at my calendar and taking the world /co/p into account, there's limited time for three player anyways. If the shota tournament happens, it would have to be one or the other while something gets moved to July.

>>242443
The reason is there's too many tourneys.

>>242454
That's not a good reason either. You're free to just not participate if you don't want to.

>>242446
I actually offered to host that. What I can do is host three player after world /co/p and then move the sho tournament to July, to keep the rhythm going with the other tournaments. Not sure if any tournaments in the near future need hosts.

>>242456
People forget this lol. You are not literally forced to participate in every tournament. You can pick which ones you want to follow
I do not for shit I don’t care about like /v/ side tourneys or the loli one that happened and don’t feel burned out

>>242456
>just ignore it bro
Explain why forcing tournaments is fine without headcanon or sounding mad

>>242482
This. I was in /cov/ 2026, got burned out, nothing since

>>242483
>Why is having more cake options bad

>>242485
>food analogy

>>242486
It isn't wrong

>>242487
The loli tourney had been a proposal for a long time and had some legit supporters for a while I think that tried to help it go on well. Don't know about some of these other ideas.

>>242414
>Are ya'll good
This board is like a tourney junkie's crack den. By definition, probably not.

>>242456
>>242482
The biggest issue imo is enthusiasm. Tourneys should should some hype base and support before they go off. A lot of hosting attempts in recent years just seems like an "i want to do this so it's happening" kind of thing out of the blue or regardless what anyone says. You can pick and choose but as it is it's spreading the /tnt/ and tourney regular crowd thin too.

>>242487
>>242489
The loli tournament being a success is a point in favor of more tourneys. And we have been tossing around the /a/ tag team for a while.
>>242492
Attendance actually hasn't been too bad with past tournaments.

/loli/ vote count
>R1: 89 votes
>R2: 67 votes
>R3: 98 votes
>R4: 139 votes
>R5: 75 votes
>R6: 56 votes
>R7: 99 votes
Wow awesome and definitely not rigged as fuck /lol/ tournament you had here guys! Thanks for making Tag-team 2021 look legit in comparison! keep ragebaiting, maybe one day you'll do it properly even if it takes decades!

>>242496
>accuses others of rage baiting
>pulls this shit
Come on now.

>>242496
I can defend round 4 given the host's questionable decision but the rest are way too obvious how blatant rigging happened

>>242498
Did you not read the results?

>>242498
>posting inconsistent results compared to the previous tourneys is now ragebaiting
Keep defending it.

>>242501
>inconsistent
Retard, that word is too kind for blatant rigging

I see the Fangbro/Edfag is still upset over the loli tourney for some fucking reason.

>>242496
Honestly when you figure this place has like ~15 people tops regularly lurking, all tourneys here are pretty bullshit.

>out of the ETHER

>>242506
>coped out of the AETHER
Fixed that for you.

Now that the porn shit is banned there is room for this between now and September is there is a host for it

>>242508
>>242506
>ÆTHER
Fixed it for you

>>242570
Wait really? No playboy or playgirl?

>>242570
That's not what he said.

>>242573
Of course not, those are on prime 4chan, anyway.

>>242570
K, B, C

>>242580
Literally just don't spam

So we can have three players or not?

Call it /v/ Party and make it 3-4 players.

>>242722
That could be incredibly uneven.

>>242723
The teams aren't literally competing against each other. There's no numerical advantage in a contest decided by votes.

>>242739
The groups of 4 would have an inherent advantage since there isn't a whole lot of video game trios. Just make it an even four player tournament.

>>242795
Besides, 4 players is better since video games started with arcade machines (see Computer Space) even though we didn't get to multiplayer until years later, it was still the first to start the 4 players mode in 1985 before video game consoles did in the 64-bits era

>>242795
>inherent advantage
I'm not sure what you mean by that. Every team is competing against every other team. It's not all 4-player vs all 3-player. Maybe the ratio would affect the likelihood of one or the other winning if we were just picking randomly, but when you're deliberately selecting one team over another, a 4-player team has no inherent advantage over a 3-player team. The team voters like more will probably win regardless of the actual number of players in it.

>>242827
How many three player teams would be iconic enough compared to four player teams? People have pointed out that four player would make more sense than three player so having it be varying sizes would just be dumb.

>>242834
>How many three player teams would be iconic enough compared to four player teams?
I'm trying to understand the fixation on the relative number of each. Does it ACTUALLY matter what the ratio is? Simply stating that one is more frequent than the other is not actually an argument for excluding either. This sounds like the assumption is that we absolutely HAVE to pick one or the other when there is no detriment to either if both are included. If it's more generally focused on teams that wouldn't compete in co-op rather than getting anal about the specific number, you can include the oddball trios without needing to force them to include roster filler to compete, and they would just compete normally. The idea that there's any advantage one way or the other is weird, and if that's really the issue, maybe walk through how that works in practice, because I don't see it.

>>242848
I honestly agree. I find the push for four-player over three-player kinda odd, anyway. You'd think there would be more vidya trios than vidya...quads?

>>242849
Blame /co/ fags for not allowing quartets in their trio tournaments so now we have to pick one one or the other.

I don't care if it's three, four or five members, trying to expand teams beyond co-op is fucking stupid. What a weird argument to have.

>>242850
/dbg/ ban evader….

>>242852
>/dbg/ods out of the aether

>>242848
>>242849
Outside of Kingdom Hearts and King of Fighters, there isn't a whole lot of trios actually, especially compared to how many games support four guys and how trios was crafted for /co/ specifically. If anything I'm curious why people want to keep trios in when it's more of a hassle to implement.

>>242854
There's also the Cooper Gang, Sanic, and probably some others. And if there's really not enough of those for their own thing, that's all the more reason to just include them.
>If anything I'm curious why people want to keep trios in when it's more of a hassle to implement.
I'm questioning the idea that it's in any way a hassle. Like specifically WHAT is difficult to implement about that? Same nomination format, same qualification process, same voting process. I've yet to see any actual argument against it except that it was conceived with a strict number of characters per team, which seems less for any practical reason and more because that's how /co/ did theirs.

>>242870
You can just add an extra member; it's not that much of a filler complaint especially since there's only a handful of trios anyways.

>>242870
I've yet to hear any actual argument "nooooo the hecking trios need to be included!!!!" It sounds an awful lot like /co/ fags trying to force their format on /v/, when people have been pointing out trios doesn't work that well for video game characters.

>>242854
Trios is what was voted on.

>>242875
It was "voted" on

>>242872
I've explained a few times. It's a team format. Your argument against it is that it isn't a specific number.

>>242890
>explained it
lol
lmao

We don't even have a host, a date or if this is actually going to happen and you retards are at each other's throats over a hypothetical number of members.

>>242898
Yes, we have a host, Samaritanon.

Alright, I've waited long enough. As no one has offered to be a host, I'll be hosting 3-Player /v/ on Saturday, 11th of July. Get your nominees ready, and I'll see you there.

>>245003
Based as fuck Gabe! Not to overwhelm you but how are we for shota?

>>245003
For fuck's sake, can't we just take a break before the main tournaments?

Funny enough, someone asked about the /an/lympics last week on /an/.
https://boards.4chan.org/an/thread/5137838
>thread not archived yet
Lol

>>245019
We had a week long break anon

>>245022
Hope he gets /an/lympics up and running.

>>245019
Afraid your pick will lose?

>>245019
…You do know you are not forced to participate in every single side tournament right?
I won’t be partaking in this one for instance

Just give this one to the Sonic Heroes.
There's really no reason to participate because there's barely any good canon trios.
Only ones I can think of are the Cooper Gang (Sly, Bentley, and Murray) from Sly Cooper. Even if I were to support them it would't matter. Sonic and Sega fans are obsessive.

>>245127
>Just give this one to the Sonic Heroes.
You're not pulling a EEnE on us.

>>245129
Well I wouldn't be because I'm not participating.

>>245129
>>245127
This, blud's being dismissive of "Lost Vikings" for the SNES

>>245134
You're acting like Blizzard made anything good before Overwatch.... which was the only good thing they made... and then they fucked that up as soon as they removed Mercy's Ult.

Pencil Anon seriously needs to switch to being a tripfag at this point. The impersonations are getting ridiculous

>>245147
I don't know if those are impersonators. I think he is just dumb and unaware of how dumb he sounds.

>>245147
Wouldn't it be funny if they weren't impersonations?

>>245147
Have you ever considered that it could just be a shit take?

>>245147
What's wrong with saying Blizzard is bad. I thought we all agreed it was.

>>245156
…and yet you all voted Arthas over Kiryu. Guess they don't think it's so bad after all.

Pencil Anon has been acting really questionable lately. If he leeches off of my picks, they're going to be fucked.

>>245156
Put your name back on.

>>245160
But this Anonymous fellow has kept the same name this whole time?

>>245161
Pencil…

>>245159
If anything they get boosted

>>245164
>he didn't even look at the round 1 results for the teams he made art for in Co-op 2026
Anon...

>>245127
Sora Donald and Goofy

>>245166
Wouldn't it be Sora, Kairi and Riku given the whole /co/ thing.

>>245169
that's that the iconic Kingdom Hearts Trio

>>245166
>>245169
>>245174
I'm a diehard Kingdom Hearts Fanboy... and even then I can see them reaching to Round 3 at best. Kingdom Hearts always got screwed over in King and Queen of /v/ I see no difference here.

Roxas, Xion, and Axel are a better trio btw

>>245175
Given how /tnt/ results can vary widely from the main board it would be interesting to see which if any can get far. Any KH team has my vote at least.

Finalists would be Sonic/Tails/Knuckles vs. a KH team, but knowing /tnt/ it will be Sam/Geralt/Alex vs. Roxanne Wolf/Glamrock Chica/Nixie.

>>245179
Why did trio have such a normal finals all things considered?

>>245179
Don't you guys complain all the time about /v/ choosing wacky winners? It would only fit if the /v/ trios were the same way TBH

>>245183
It would be more exciting than /co/'s three way tournament.

Kris, White Ralsei and Black Ralsei as "sex sandwich"

>>245184
/co/'s was more get the circlejerked trio out of the way so if it happens again it can be an actual contest

>>245187
This feels like a gay way of going about tournaments.

>>245188
Yeah but at some point it was clear they were voting Eds no matter what so it became a formality tournament

>>245179
I'll be honest the latter idea is at least funny

>>245189
This is just a coper tournament with extra steps. How could /co/ be this retarded?

>>245188
Perhaps but The Ed’s not winning it would’ve been gayer and felt like big time contrarianism tbh. It’s how it had to go I guess.

>>245195
You'd have a point if it was the Eds vs that Dale/Sticks/Dib filler team. But Coast to Coast is a trio with a lot of history behind it and had plenty of campaigning so they would have been good inaugural. Saying it had to go this way skirts dangerously close to "they were entitled to win it".

>>245178
0%

>>245195
It really wouldn’t. There are so many good trios, outside of /tnt/ Eds are usually not even brought up first
Main reason Eds losing would be seen as contrarian is because people kept memeing for years they would win this and the fact this team consisted of three top 10 seeded in main tournament characters. That OPs any other possible trio combo just by character prominence in tournaments

>>245200
>outside of /tnt/ Eds are usually not even brought up first
They are though, they’re THE /co/ trio and would win there too. The tourney was practically made for them.
>people kept memeing for years they would win this and the fact this team consisted of three top 10 seeded in main tournament characters
Yes also EENE being arguably the most liked work of media ever on /co/ and the three of them having always been seen as a trio unit before individuals, which is probably why it took so long for one to make E8 despite high seeding, popularity, and support.

>>245205
>The tourney was practically made for them.
I think this kind of attitude is what people are finding gay. It felt like circlejerking a single show versus actually celebrating trios in /co/.

>>245003
Here's a timer to keep track when it's happening:
https://www.tickcounter.com/countdown/10782311/time-for-3-player-v-nominations
>>245007
I can not give a precise date, it's gonna happen after this for sure.

>>245224
Sweet. Looking forward to it.

>>245224
I'm sorry, but I just can't trust you in doing this. You already proved yourself to be a shady host in round 4 of the loli tournament.

>>245174
>the iconic Kingdom Hearts Trio
That's actually Xehanort, Xehanort, and Ansem (Xehanort). But not Xehanort. Fuck that guy.

>can't nominate Sora, Goofy, and Donald
Welp

>>245443
Should have gone with /cov/ trios.

>>245446
I knew someone was gonna say that

>>245446
Name two other /cov/ trios.

>>245449
Superman, Mario, Mickey
Team Name: Faces of the Industry

Homelander, Joker, Shang Tsung
Team Name: Immoral Kombat

>Chapter 5 got an update with new lore
>Gaster is now apparently a Mafia Boss
new team idea for Gaster, NormalNPC, and FRIEND

The timer ran out

>>245627
Good, now let's all go home and focus on whatever we are doing.
