That's not a thing in Mr. /co/, powerlevels are pretty flexible. Unless you're Monarch or Silver, then you're just fucked forever.

As for Ms., well, you could see how much /tnt/'s predictions of that are worth last year when people here were hyping up Brisby and Jessica Rabbit and one didn't qualify at all while the other maintained her position as an E8 gatekeeper.

Monarch was the closest to beating Daffy last year before Spider-Man, losing only by 20 votes, and it was the second closest of the round 2 results with Mojo Jojo and Superman only having an 18 vote difference. His wife might have won first, but he still shows promise.

I'm already betting against Eris, Spongebob, Batman, and Superman. Eris will have the NSA stigma. Anons have tried saying it won't be that bad because NSA chose Wuya in the end, but Ms. /co/ voters are petty. Spongebob has the same problem as Shake, where voters want their grumpy neighbors to win way more. Spongebob has made an elite eight unlike Shake, and I can see him making another one, but I don't see him winning before Squidward. I don't think Mr. /co/ anons are predictable enough to vote for the faces of DC to win right after voting for the face of Marvel to win.

i'd extend this to any DC or Marvel character. I think comic characters are going to do better in general going forward (so long as people keep the enthusiasm up) but it's too soon for Mr. to have another capeshit winner.
However, I wouldn't say the same about Ms., and I think Raven is in a good position to win this year. Knock on wood.

I to this day don’t get Hank being overwhelmingly the strongest non-winner.
He’s fine, his show is alright in a subdued way but not a particular highlight of the era, his character personality is alright but isn’t that strong compared to the other heavies, he’s liked on /co/ but the presence of him isn’t as frequent as the CM shows. There really isn’t a reason I see why he’d be multitudes above every other contestant who hasn’t won, outside being maybe the show being the most subdued and mature of the ones with characters who have a shot

Going off that statistical chart anon made the strongest returners would be:
>Chel, Raven, Starfire, Eris, EVE, Toph
>Hank, Jack, Grim, JJJ, Daffy, Aku, Shaggy
Taking into account meta debuffs JJJ could taken off. Chel, Starfire, Grim, and Shaggy do not feel like winners with their current silent obligatory powerjobber trajectory. They need an actual campaign started for them. If they got a sizeable vocal base then they're in good standing for a win.
I also still stand by Ms. having a strong favoritism for consistent midcards that don't bring much attention to themselves. They're the possible inoffensive under the radar winners that wouldn't be surprising for Ms. /co/ winners.

Hot women characters do have a natural advantage. The anti coomer thing really only shows in OC output and some vocal complaining. Tourneyheads, cause they find standard coom boring or cause degenerate autists specifically are drawn to "tourney culture" have created an odd world where hot women get no porn and all sorts of gay stuff, furries, and even loli's get content instead, even in the porn tourneys. It's an odd ass backwards time being a normal goonfag in tourneys.

from my experience the outcry against prime "sexy" candidates had more to do with the "baby's first boner" archetype. characters old enough to have been the sexual awakening of the average 4chan user. you vote for someone just because they're sexy, that's whatever. they're probably not going to get far. but it's that extra dollop of nostalgia that leads to a massive overestimation of value.
also /co/ is a blue board. so when porn is all a character has going for them, there's not a lot to talk about. so now you've got the silentfag debate rolled in as well. that's a far bigger issue. active sex-focused campaigns are received positively, same as any other campaign.

tl;dr /co/ doesn't care if something is carried by sex appeal unless it turns into silent- or nostalgia-fagging

While I agree with the observation, the ground of meta arguments in general kind of comes from the counterpoint to this sentiment, being that if that's what the board is naturally inclined towards then it's fine that's what characters get voted on.
Coom debating in general seems wrapped up in the larger debate about more "interesting" and active picks and purposes of voting.

Personally I don't care if he's making some coom art for a coom character. It does get annoying when he gets his character pushed for shelling out a bunch of completely unrelated quirky avatarfagging in the main tourney though.

Being impartial about the contestants has always been integral to my shows. I don't do it out of any kind of fear, it's just what the listeners have come to expect from me. If I take distinct sides, it would seem like I'm punching down on whoever they're up against, and punching down is the worst form of comedy. I can understand your feelings that some content creators feel pressured to not express their own personal likes and dislikes and thus hamstring their creativity, but know that, for some of us, neutrality is what allows us the most creative freedom, rather than stifles it.

Truth be told? The only 'advantage' a character may have is if I've played their game or watched their show, and not done so for the other character, if for no other reason than my gags might not be as witty as I'd like them to be. You have no idea how many wikis I have to have up during tournament season to learn about obscure characters, /v/ or /co/, in order to attempt to make an appreciable joke that isn't just making fun of their physical appearance or the like.

If you start seeing spam of various obscure Eastern European characters this coming tourney, it’s a red flag he didn’t actually leave. The website is much harder to leave than one thinks, look at famicom. He once claimed that he was officially done posting on that website and he was spotted quite recently on /a/‘s animejapan thread again spewing out his fan fiction lies over the industry all over his obsession on animaniac’s, I’m very much expecting Augie to be present this year, no one’s ever really gone

In general, for those with only a cursory knowledge of Homestuck? Probably no one in particular; the virtue of a Homestuck character winning is enough to piss a remarkable amount of people off.

For fans of the thing? Vriska, Jane, Calliope, or any Beforus troll that is -not- Aranea would be pretty harrowing outcomes, but patently impossible even in a hypothetical where HS characters do qualify because they barely have any fanbase to speak of on 4chan.

With that being said, Homestuck has its fair share of good characters that would fit right in with the kind of humor and posting tourneyheads enjoy: Doc Scratch, Caliborn, Terezi, Equius, Jack Noir/Spades Slick and the Midnight Crew as a whole, just to name a few.

I know what you're trying to say, but that's just not what happened. Homestuck's prime dates all the way back to 2011, by the time the general was banned on /co/ the project was already way, way past its expiration date, and becoming a taboo topic was a consequence of that with the fandom around it growing despodent and bored.
With that being said, the point is that you can't really deny the impact Homestuck had on /co/ and 4chan in general. MS Paint Adventures has around 5 or 6 rotating banners for fuck's sake.

Literally everyone I’ve seen talk about this movie on /co/ says that it looks a massive waste of talent on Genndy’s party, no one likes this movie and I doubt any of the characters will get enough votes to make it past the bottom 128 let alone come close to qualifying for the top 128.

Hey, I know there's a rule for characters that are technically different versions of the same character, but I dunno if that should apply to everyone.
Like, Supergirl and Power Girl are technically the same person, but they're quite different from each other.
However, one clearly wouldn't consider Golden Age Superman (Kal-L) different enough from Silver Age Superman (Kal-El).
Guess all I'm trying to say is that some alternate versions of characters should be counted separately.
Yes, this is because I want to nominate Batman Who Laughs as his own separate character instead of just Batman, I think he's different enough.

I mainly say this cause recently I've been going through old Ms. and Mr. /co/ threads, I'm on 2021 right now, Batkek was nominated, but apparently just folded into Batman, and it got me thinking about other alternate versions of characters.
I'm not here to advocate every Multiverse variant should be considered separate necessarily, but it's something worth discussing, specially for alternates that are vastly different and/or have taken lives of their own.
Like, is Ultraman from Earth-3 different enough from regular Supes? They even had different names one time, Ultra was Kal-Il. What about Superboy Prime? I think he's definitely different enough despite also being named Clark Kent.
And what about the mess that is Superwoman from Earth-3, she's technically a Wonder Woman variant, but she's actually Lois Lane, Mary Marvel in that one movie, and most recently Donna Troy in the comics, would she only count if Wondy, Lois, Mary, and Donna didn't get in? I could probably go on and on about these fringe cases, don't even get me started on Stan Lee's weird versions of DC characters who all have different names.
Sorry if this has already been discussed, and it may seem like a non-issue considering how comic characters don't even get particularly far in these competitions, but it's something I wanted to bring up cause I'd actually like to see how one or two of these variants could do by themselves without being overshadowed by their main counterparts.

Peter Parker is barred. It never covered the entire Spider-Man identity. That being said most people associate the role with Peter meaning other characters won't make it; no one will seriously have Miles qualify lol.

See that’s where the conversation gets interesting
It’s already what hosts enforce (see the Batkek debate, or multiple Spider-Mans being left out). In those cases those two are grandfathered in for being voted in top 128 before this took effect, same way Spider-Ham was.
But if Batman won? They’d be banned, because grandfather rule does not apply to the champion ban rule, and that would void the grandfather protection those two have

It is not the same thing because we are referring to legacy characters, which is NOT the same thing as a variant. Legacy characters are distinctly characters who all share the same mantle (Wally and Barry, Sam and Richard, etc).
Hell, Green Lantern is an organization, not a singular identity. Do we ban John, Guy, and Kyle if Hal were to win, despite clearly being different individuals?

Let's say we allow Batkek, what about all the other Dark Multiverse variants? I guess those are fair game too, and if we allow the Maker, that would mean all of the Ultimate Universe should be allowed too, maybe even the new one, and even DC's Absolute Universe.

My only answer to that is that absolutely no one cares about the Dark Multiverse outside of Batkek, you're not gonna see Red Death or Mindhunter suddenly become dark horses, those type of characters probably wouldn't even get to the first round.
Truth is that certain characters have outgrown their original universes and variants, Power Girl, the Maker, and Superboy-Prime also come to mind. We don't even have to allow everyone from their universes, just acknowledge that these characters have changed so much that maybe they should be exceptions to the rule.
Again, I'm not saying every alternate version should be counted as a separate character, most of them comic should be treated the same as TV adaptations imo, but I think there are definitely certain cases where characters should be considered separately.

Miles is the alternative parallel universe Spider-Man. Even if they distinct name and identity it’s still Spider-Man. I’ve seen Spider-Ham banned (even if supposed to be grandfathered) due to this, even if he has a different name and design than Peter. The generalization rule applies to all characters of the same identity, which means all Spider-Mans

He might be the most fitting winner of all of tournaments, because he not only is a strong representative of /co/, he's also huge on /b/ and /tv/ and could've very well win in a theoretical contest for those boards.

If it makes you feel better, I never liked this rule either. I think situations like should should be addressed on a case-by-case basis, depending on how distinct the character variant is. Frankly, I'm not sure about its current purpose, as it mostly covers semi-obscure comic characters that are unlikely to ever qualify to begin with. And from what I remember, none of the current hosts are too strict about enforcing it. So if Batman Who Laughs, The Maker, or some other distinct variant of a pre-existing character somehow happened to qualify someday, we might let them in, depending on what the other hosts say. I wouldn't be opposed to it, at least.

We do actually have an reference for 2022 and 2020 that indicates that he was banned for generalization and why he was allowed later for 2022
An anon successfully nominates him in thread four
https://desuarchive.org/co/thread/133396162/#133396469
Later in the day in thread five he is nominated again, but with an explanation of being grandfathered from a “variant” ban because he was in 2019’s tournament
https://desuarchive.org/co/thread/133399027/#133400902
From this, it appears Spider-Ham was actually put in the barred section for 2022 until it was explained that he’s exempt via grandfather rule.
And even more, going through replies for 2020 Spider-Ham WAS originally in the nomination sheet, because Batkek fans were complaining to remove him from the tournament for being a variant when their character was banned. He was then later not in the qualifier poll
https://desuarchive.org/co/search/text/Spider-ham/start/2020-10-24/end/2020-10-25/
So, it’s just about directly confirmed Spider-Ham was removed from the contest via the generalization rule in 2020 due to being a “variant”, then was allowed back in 2022 after being argued for being grandfathered in when he was going to be barred again for the same reason. This is how it was ruled between two hosts also.

Jackie also might have potential considering how surprisingly close she came to making it in last year. Star I think is indubitably fucked though which is funny since she's the main character

Both have better legacies than Star vs. and both were more popular (Amphibia on /co/, OH outside of /co/). I never got the weird singling out they got compared to GF and Star vs. other than the fact they aired later and thus newer bad, or disney loretoons being stigmatized by then. But if there's an argument anything becomes nostalgia boosted given time then it'll happen for them too, and more so I think than Star vs. will.

I'd pay $30 if we got that, a much higher page limit for /v/ (a thread can stay up for about 2 hours without bumps), a 20mb upload limit, an NSFW filter option for coomer threads and draw threads, furry is allowed, Russia and Israel are completely rangebanned, an E-celeb board is made to contain personality wank drama, and a reddit or twitter OP is grounds for a board permaban. That'd be a really, REALLY good forum experience, but by that point it'd be so good I'd be in danger of being completely dependent on it. At least /v/ being shit lately has gotten me off the computer more.

If anything, this could open up a wider conversation on how accurate the tournaments as a whole are at reflecting the board's taste compared to a tourneyhead's expectation, especially where it concerns comics.
Before Rorschach qualified last year the only sucessful Watchmen nomination was a Dr. Manhattan R1 loss in 2018. Judge Dredd and Hellboy had been failing to even qualify for several years after the first Mr. /co/. Do they having poor tournament performance deny them of being board and medium staples?

People legitimately do like those compared to others and can still be called board and medium staples agreeably. Plus Watchmen characters failed to qualify because they were filed under Watchmen instead of DC, making them less visible for the longest time.

Johnny was a great choice, especially as the inaugural winner, because he's a good-looking and confident attempted ladies' man from a show that was a notable part of one of the most important and influential cartoon blocks of all time on what is probably /co/'s favorite network, with the show itself still being remembered fondly and talked about frequently on the board to this day (when it was still up). His whole character basically lends itself so well to the concept of Mr. /co/ and as an inaugural winner. As for why Eddy, Grim, and Dexter haven't won, I see it pointed out a lot that the Eds not being able to go in as a trio doesn't do them favors, though I would be willing to vote for any Ed as a winner. For Grim, I would also like him as a winner, but maybe he also suffers a bit from being in a trio, the runner-up stigma, which could still be an issue despite a main tournament getting a runner-up winner, and the hate for not being that vocal. For Dexter, people just don't get too invested in him in the tournaments.

Some people conflate campaigning with RP, but RP is not the only way to promote a character. Tom won. Fang won. Speech makes that particular type of campaigning easier but it's not the end all, be all. There's no lack of material for Wile E Coyote. The thing holding Wile E back is the same thing that holds any character back, regardless of how good it is: a general lack of hype. With a little hype, people get creative.

That is the consequence of wanting to abide by the most objective metric available, since what someone's opinion of a character really is comes down to being subjective.

If there's any kind of ultimate metric to a good winner it should be simply who's the most liked in a general sense with the board. Legacy, nostalgia and whatnot is correlative but not necessarily indicative of being the most liked.
I think all popularity/legacy vs. meta discussions are fundamentally actually about this. The problem with meta is that it interferes with voting for simply what people like the most. A most liked winner is the "purest" result. This kind of "pure" winner will strongly TEND to be a board legacy "classic" "core" kind of pick. Voting BECAUSE a character is classic or boardcore whatever is meta. Just have people vote naturally and you will probably get those results. That's been my take for a long time at least.
Is the winner actually liked by a ton of people on the general board? Then they're a good winner and representative of a board character tournament.

Well since there's no controversies to address, let's discuss the comic side of the tournament. My hopes and observations:

>Marvel
With Spider-Man winning, I hope there's a chance of Hulk and Daredevil qualify. The FF might also join Doctor Doom in the brackets but that's still not guaranteed; the Thing nearly getting in last time gives me hope.

>DC
So far it seems like it'll just be Starfire and Raven for ms. and Superman and Batman for mr. unless something changes. Watchmen characters could also qualify given Rorschach's positive reception.

>non big two
It'll probably be Invincible being the most notable picks, with season 3 boosting more characters than just Omni-Man. Maybe Spawn will make it in. Hope to see Hellboy and Dredd make it in and do better.

It's not surprising, we're starting to see what shows and characters from the 90s will live on as important from that era and which ones are going to join the HB characters who aren't going to have fans past the audience it first had when it aired in the graveyard of irrelevance

/co/ has pretty good furry threads, and the threads about movies or shows that have long ended tend to be much saner. Yes, threads about concurrent airings are shit but TV is shit. I don't think Anime has to do with it, stuff like BTAS or the Spawn animated series are way better than most weeb shit like Inuyasha, Naruto, Kill La Kill, etc. I think the real reason is modern nedobaby writers can't make a good script, and ultracapitalist producers hate animation because it's high risk low reward

I love me some Evangelion, but I dunno man that's dismissing Looney tunes/Merry Melodies, First 3 Seasons + First movie Spongebob, Iron Giant, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Fantasia, and pic related. As a movie I'd say End of Evangelion is a truly perfect film and a work of art, but you need the show itself for context and there's a couple of rocky episodes (Magma Diver, the robot episode, the flashback episode) that keeps the entirety from absolute perfection.

I gave concession to film to and comics. I thought I was generous. The television and series difference I thought was kind of indisputable. Anime has a massively bigger pool of shows, with far more coming out each season than western toons, and a way bigger canon of "classics" and lesser known gems. And of course there's mountains of seasonal slop, but for the huge output you inevitably have a lot that sticks over the years. I'm not trashing western series animation, there's been great stuff of course, but the difference in the whole last 30-40 years in abundance of quality is pretty staggering, particularly when you're talking the dramatic and "mature" front. The west has had a hard time breaking out of the Disney-esque children's industry and audience ethos. The artsy drive isn't nearly the same and there's a kind of output you're just not gonna see in it.

The one thing that people have been cribbing from Spider-Verse is how it plays with frame rate, but little else. It was around a month ago that people were losing their minds over Shrek's latest redesign but didn't know how to put what bothered them into words, when the actual difference is how the cast leans closer into looking more like genuine Disney characters now or "Cal-Arts style" if you want to go by the way Kricfalusi defined it. "Disney style" in this case continues to be the standard for children's animation and thus "high quality" western animation, and the fact most have a hard time pinpointing its traits shows how rooted it is into what makes character design appealing, for example.

Speed Racer's copyright situation was weird, America pretty much had a stronghold on the franchise until this show's very existence was partly why Tatsunoko got it back. You can also blame it for Speed not even appearing in Tatsunoko vs. Capcom. Aside from that, one of the Robotech movies and pretty much every Fantastic Four movie pre-MCU were solely made to keep the rights.

So? It's not /tv/. The vote would be for the books. There's a gorillion classics (I'd argue nearly all of them) more definitively known in their original book form than for any adaptation. Assuming this is actually a tourney for /lit/ and not just another pipeline tourney from here it's not a problem.

Well why didn't you say before, actually ranking the works themselves would be different from other character based tourneys and offer something new. If we do that, a /mu/ tournament where the vote would be for albums could take off.

Pibby discussion was always more about speculation than the event. Everyone wanted their favorite character to be one of the survivors, or someone who went down fighting in a blaze of glory, when in reality the majority of characters would inevitably get relegated to jobber fodder material for the actual main cast to kill. Then their fans would get disappointed and try to find solace in writing their fanfiction of this fanfiction.

What was about to say. Unless you happen to be an icon with a lot of history in the public consciousness (Betty Boop, Popeye) or just recently getting a boost in popularity through meme virality (Soviet Livesey), you need to posses some established fandom presence to have success in the tournaments, which doesn’t just translate to being popular and celebrated.

People forget this originates as a popularity contest in the end. It follows its own path but it’s a glorified popularity contest.
Great content, character personality and cult followings mean nothing in the grand scheme of voters. You just have to be known by most people while not getting negative or indifferent reaction when brought up
That’s why (if not rigging) you have to be one of three to even qualify
>Iconic, large series characters every voter has heard of and doesn’t hate
>Nostalgic pick for most voter base (right now late 90s/early 2000s)
>Newly release (and hence on the mind for voters) media’s characters getting a recency boost
This is why the main characters also will almost always make it over secondary or supporting cast, they are most known to people not even really into mentioned media. It’s about getting the most voters from a general /co/ audience

King still has powerhouse favorites. It is the most susceptible to antics after qualifiers though.
An old standard to use is the baseline moderate bar of popularity. It is fundamentally a popularity contest by nature as the baseline will always be a degree of recognition and agreeableness. Campaigning is something built off of that. You see it constantly where there are consistent "silent powerhouses" and highly active zoomer or off-kilter picks that can't break the barrier and get far (take the DTVA example being discussed right now). Something actually hated (unless it's just to be a round 1 joke) or obscure can't qualify. This varies some of course depending on the board/tourney/year but by nature it remains a basic fact.

No one likes pedophiles, but /co/‘s pedos are insane assholes and basically spam the board to an obnoxious degree that they borderline took over the board in a way /v/ hasn’t. The amount of pedos cooming over lolis, shotas, or self-inserters of shotas like IC make it very hard to discuss most topics, or participate in drawthreads, or literally anything else.
Here’s a prime example: want to have a thread to talk about the cool action of the 90s show Swat Kats? Well too fucking bad because one autist decided that they are making a shota OC cat who is fucking Callie Briggs and will spam it in every thread, then other pedos will reply how cool and hot their art is and spam it for dozens of posts that drowns out any other discussion, even if the thread OP was just about the main guy characters

This seems like an exaggerated personal hangup. I've hung around a lot of these fandoms on /co/ and it's plenty of show discussion. Definitely far outweighs pure coomer talk. I think more there's an issue of an extremely sensitive anti-coomer and by extension loli (and sometimes furry) group that gets super pissed about this and lets it dictate their opinion of the whole media itself. Not that it should be a major problem in the first place seeing it's 4chan and being freely deviant has always been one of the hallmarks of the place.

Really? If I'm not mistaken Amphibia and Star vs. have performed about the same at their best - round 4, heck the latter has completely fallen off by now.

Gravity Falls got a pass because it’s a contender for biggest 2010s show so it has brand recognition
Star Vs only had relevancy for the few years after it aired before support eroded but has zero characters qualifying last year and likely never will have any do so again

I don't know, I'm not arguing Enid is better looking than Amity. Owl House and DTVA has a lot of problems with the board that make it spite target otherwise.
But It was like a 5 vote difference wasn't it? Honestly if I had to guess it may have came down to tribefag schizo rigging. He was there the whole round shitting on Owl House and trying to pass as an Enidfag. And he blatantly rigged that poll about the worst character by like fifty votes a few years prior.

Somewhat related to everything that's been discussed ITT, one of the things having /a/ in the tourneyfag equation is I'm pretty sure you'd get a balancer of furfag to lolifag and less of these arguments. Lolifags to /a/ is basically what furfags are to /trash/.

Touhou is a mental illness on another level. Remember, they're the only franchise that truly justifies the "limit of 3" rule. Without it, they'd qualify 20 characters per queen. No other series has that problem. Generally Mario, Shrek, Zelda, TF2, Metal Gear, Looney tunes, and Ed Edd and Eddy might try to get a 4th or 5th character in a tournament, and Marvel and DC don't really get enough votes for their unlimited entries to even factor. That's really not a big problem like Touhou is, but a host can't just say "Ban Touhou" without raising a stink, so it's skirted around with the spin-off clause

I can only really think of Fire Emblem, Xenoblade, and Final Fantasy having that problem. But those franchises fight amongst themselves so much, they would clog round 1 with a ton of characters, kill themselves off, than become a laughing stock like project moon. Undertale/Deltarune would definitely get in some extras, they're a lot more unified.
