/tnt/ - Tournaments & Events

/tv/ didn’t seem interested in doing a tourney, what are the odds this takes off?

>>192745
This is a /tnt/ thing.

>>192746
Fair dinkum. Still, is there any appetite for a /a/ duo tourney after three consecutive ones?

>Johnny and Gyro will win because SBR anime got announced

>>192748
That, and there's like 3 duos in Anime even worth considering. Panty and Stocking, Spike and Jet, Johnny and Gyro.

Everyone talking about the /tv/ tourney but I'd give a hundred bucks to see an (actual) main /a/ one happen.

>>192750
There's still plenty of duos that could be viable contenders. From the top of my head: Joseph and Caesar, Jessie and James, Lupin and Jigen, Simon and Kamina, Edward and Alphonse, Yugi and Joey or Kaiba, Goku and Bejita to name a few.

>>192751
We could have had it in our grasp, then it was cruelly snatched from us by a retarded host…

>>192754
This is it. The absolute /a/ duo.
Spoiler from the series: Killing Rei was a huge mistake and it looked like the writers tried to make up for that with characters like Shu and Shachi who resembled Rei a lot and even then they also ended up dying

>>192754
Top tier /a/ duo, but Ken already won so I don't know who else.

>>192744
Oh boy tag team bystanders

>>192773
Yeah, this one would be fun. There's really a few Jojo duos that could work. I'd say Johnny and Gyro could be strong as well, but SBR's adaptation is coming a little too late to give it that exposure.

>>192786
Even setting aside the the small reference pools people here seem to have, you'd think they'd be thinking of crossover teams to go along with the canon ones.

>>192744
iirc this will be occurring instead of another /a/ tournament

>>192959
Fitting since we probably won't even have an /a/ anymore

>>192960
Nah it’ll be back up

IT ALL RETURNS TO NOTHING

>>193207
IT ALL COMES
TUMBLING DOWN TUMBLING DOWN TUMBLING DOWN
Rei and Asuka for t/a/g team?

LETTING ME DOWN LETTING ME DOWN LETTING ME DOWN

>>193255
Didn't Ryu inspire Kaworu?

>>193260
I'm pretty sure every blond/white-hair pretty boy villain in anime was inspired by Ryo.

>>193255
>>193247
put the guys together in a team

You ran out of IPs too didn't ya you bastards

>>192963
How well did this age

>>193279
Honestly it'll still probably be back up but when it does, a week or two will have passed.

ANTI-4CHAN FIELD DETECTED

>>193400
SOON INDIVIDUAL BOARDS WILL BE UNABLE TO STAY UP

>>193413
>>193400
Given how important EVA was to /a/ and how we kind of started the 'tumbling down' meme, I do think there's some potential for artwork here.

>GNR is a Soyjak Amalgamate
>Bridge Bunnies is board /tans/
>Reiclones are Soyjaks
>Maybe Yotsuba is Shinji?

>>193137
>Bystanders get shit on Heroes of /a/ for being off board cancer
>another off board cancer, Shou Fu Khan, gets a free pass in Heroes of /co/ and gets treated like a god in that because people thought Torresanon’s campaign was great

>>193810
Heroes of /co/ is basically what would happen if king ran a /co/ tournament

I may possibly can run this one in July or August. Can't make promises since my schedule is weird this summer.
If someone else wanted to do it then of course go ahead. If a someone interested in hosting wants to try it to get a feel for hosting then that'd be good too. The host kit was made for that reason.

>>196980
Based!

>>194054
That’s pretty much the direct consequence of holding the /co/ tournaments immediately after the /v/ ones

>>196980
Neat

>there exists an unofficial Arabic stage play that crosses over Detective Conan with Pokemon, even getting the official voice actors in that region involved
I think I know who I'm going with.

Not available July. Provided there's still interest in this and no one else wants to host it I can schedule it August 1st or any time the first week of August. Probably later than the 1st.

I wonder if we'll get a Tag-team /tv/ one daya before the actual /tv/ tourneys, wouldn't that be funny Sam?

>>199328
Potential winners for the hypothetical tag-team /tv/?

>>199331
Bill and Ted

>>199331
El Chavo and Quico

>>199331
George and Jerry

>>199331

>>199331

>New PSG's English dub recasts everyone
New PANTY & STOCKING with GARTERBELT - English Dub Trailer
tbdesu I don't really mind it, the Funimation dub was kind of overrated and I thought the subs were better because hearing Japanese VAs swear was part of the appeal.

>>199662
I get that Funimation doesn't exist anymore and there was no one in hell the original VA would reprise Garterbelt but this sounds like such a downgrade even if you didn't like the original dub.

>>199662
Funny enough Gainax loved the dub since P&S was supposed to be like South Park and Drawn Together to begin with and the dub captured that spirit. They even used the dub to teach their staff to swear better.

>>199662
While I fucking hate Monica Rial (aka the lying bitch that probably leaked all the DBZ outtakes and gave Sean and Chris bad names) I will admit her only good role was Stocking.

>>199663
Funimation doesn't exist anymore? Is that even a real loss, besides Ghost stories there's no such thing as a good anime dub.

>>199677
Their best dubs were literally the ones with Vic in them.

>>199677
>there's no such thing as a good anime dub.
This. There's adequate or entertaining dubs (when it's just funposting performances) but default as a rule should always be subs (or learning nippon).

>>199677
>>199683
Mexico made some of the best anime dubs and it’s not even close.

>>199677
>>199683
Ghost Stories was ADV, not Funimation.
Both are long since dead and became absorbed into new companies.

>>199685
This only matters if you are Hispanic.

>>199687
So it matters to Dragon Ball fans.

>there's no such thing as a good anime dub.
We really trotting out this tired argument?

>>199689
let them be, it's hard coming to terms with that fact they'll never be Japanese

>>199679
>Fullmetal Alchemist
>Ouran High School Host Club
Huh, good point.

>>199689
Dubs are just shit and awkward by nature. Don't know why you'd choose them over the original language unless you can't read subs or something.

>>199693
Movies are meant to be watched, not read.
Hayao Miyazaki.

The funny part of these dub debate is that it's pretty much an American thing; most countries, including Japan, have dubs as default. So basically 99% doesn't want to read subs.

>>199690
t. Illiterate

>>199693
Don't know why you'd choose anime over the original manga unless you can't read word balloons or something.

Ideally you wanna watch the original product. Even if you don’t speak the language you’re listening to the intended native expression. And it usually just sounds better than any dub anyways, since dubs invariably have to twist what’s said to fit timing and flow and meaning etc. which just sounds auditorially awkward, not to mention how genki kawaii whatever just comes out sounding weird in my language. That’s been my reasoning for subs.
>>199696
Yes toonami and shit aired dubs, cause it’s for mass consumption, usually by kids. But this preference for dubs is pretty much just a thing I’ve seen in casual anime. Any kind of television or film thing anywhere else it’s considered retarded to prefer dubs (unless it’s king fu or kaiju in which case it’s funpost humor quality).

Why do we always have these retarded sub vs dub wars on /co/ of all fucking boards

>>199693
>>199699
Don't know why you'd choose certain anime or manga over reading the books they're based on (in Kanji, of course).

>>199704
As stated before, people are desperate to be Japanese and prove how cool they are by watching subs.

>>199703
Japanese female voice acting is ear splitting. I'd rather have dubs or the sound off.

>>199703
>Any kind of television or film thing anywhere else it’s considered retarded to prefer dubs (unless it’s king fu or kaiju in which case it’s funpost humor quality).
No many tv shows and movies are preferably dubbed by their home country. Many famous Japanese VAs are assigned to voice over famous American actors.
The sub vs dub debate is localized to American weebs for the most part.

>>199689
I think this place just loves arguing considering how it seems the same few arguments pop up often.

>>199704
Blame the mods for shoving Toonami and Digimon threads on us.

>>199708
Sure there are dubs everywhere, but it’s retarded to prefer them. Imagine going on /tv/ and telling French or Russian cinephiles it okay to watch their kino in dubs.

>>199711
>Entire countries are retarded for preferring dubs

>>199711
And people should care what /tv/ thinks because…?

This thread would have aneurism if they found out how beloved certain dubs and dub actors are in their countries.

>>199712
Sloppa consuming audiences that never even think about details are yes.

>>199715
>Entire countries are sloppa consuming audiences
Basically just "everyone is stupid except me".

>dub watching /co/faggot casuals voting for /a/ tourneys

>>199714
The producers of El Hazard think the English dub is the definitive version. Not even the actual Japanese are as anal retentive as the weebs who white knight for them.

>>199717
You inflicted Toonami generals and east vs west threads on /co/. Don't act surprised.

>dub watching /co/ chads voting for /a/ tourneys

>>199716
>Entire countries are sloppa consuming audiences
Yes lol. Not that the original statement is correct anyways cause most people will still watch foreign movies subbed.

>>199721
No the very much do not anon. You're talking out of your ass to prove a retarded point.

>>199721
>Yes lol.
Why do /a/ fags have this weird superiority complex over watching Chinese cartoons in moonspeak? I'm sure actual Japanese people are repulsed by them.

>>199709
Japan is just a superior language even if you can't understand it. Something like King of the Hill or SpongeBob sounds better in Japanese than the original.

>>199717
Actual /a/utists have nothing but disdain for the tournaments. The only ones pushing for it are /co/mmies, /v/ermin and /tnt/oddlers.

>>199722
Yes, they usually would. It can be conceded children's content would probably be dubbed, but that's for children. But any kind of serious effort to appreciating media will involve getting the original language presented. This isn't even esoteric for American normie audiences. Most people watched Parasite and Squid Game in sub.
Not that the appeal to majority would have bearing on one being better than the other anyways.

>>199723
It's more just that the majority audience being sloppa consumers is correct. That's basically the definition of it. Saying x is better cause more people do it is dumb for anything art and media related.

>>199726
Anon I can guarantee you it isn't limited to children's media and most people would look at you in confusion over debating this. Most people would prefer watching in their own native language simply because movies are meant to be watched not read. Nobody was even debating one being better than the other, this is just about preference which you have stick up your ass about.

>>199727
But no one was debating one was better than the other…

Was sub vs dub a big deal in heroes and villains? Because this just seems like someone stirring shit for thread activity.

>>199726
>But any kind of serious effort to appreciating media will involve getting the original language presented.
Which actual Japanese producers of anime don't subscribe to.

>>199727
>Saying x is better cause more people do it is dumb for anything art and media related.
Fighting shonen slop and moe garbage isn't art just because you watch it in subs.

>>199731
>the /co/ and /v/ threads are silent while this is all happening
HMMMMM.

>>199728
>>199729
The obvious intent of bringing audience up is that the argument is one-sidedly stupid cause it's a localized preference with weebs (it is not.)

>>199735
It totally is anon, I've been to other countries and the sub vs sub does not exist among other people.

>>199735
That still isn't saying one is better than the other, you're debating over people liking one thing over another. It is not that deep.

How the fuck is any of this relevant to tournaments?

>>199736
You can literally google this right now and the vast majority of responses will be subs.

>>199739
>appealing to Google when I've been to other countries
Not everyone is online anon. There's a whole world beyond the internet.

>>199731
>Was sub vs dub a big deal in heroes and villains?
No one brought it up then lol. It's like a powder keg topic though.

>>199741
This discussion is proof it never should have been a thing. I don't want to be with these kinds of people.

>>199742
True. Dubfags suck bigly.

>>199742
True. Subfags suck bigly.

>>199745
That would explain why the heroes and villains results were so weird.

Current debate aside, are there really actual /a/ voters in this? I honestly kind of assumed there was a good portion of crossboarders.

>>199749
>>199725

>>199738
it would be relevant if we got off our fat asses and fucked tried hosting it ourself
>ooooh but the failed one last year ooooooh it won't work
You'll never know if you don't go. Even with the Jannies occasionally nuking a thread It was going nearly perfect until the literal who running it went full moron. Just get vetted people like Balls and Bill on it and it'll be great.
of course nobody will listen to me because obviously something going wrong once means it's fucked forever and should never be tried again unless your Tag-Team then you get to continue running after 2 of the worst years ever
I don't want these local /tnt/-only shit I want fucking S/a/imoe and S/a/igar 2.0

>>199751
Coayynon's the only existing host that's expressed wanting to run it (same person running the /a/ side tourneys here).

>>199751
Well alright…what's stopping you?

New Panty and Stocking is apparently great.

>>199764
It helps they managed to most of the old crew back so it’s like it never missed a beat. Kind of like B&B and PnF come to think of it.

>>199774
BERSERK
2

>>199774
At least Ken managed to win a tournament.
Also what is up with all the remakes and revivals in anime?

>>199776
>Also what is up with all the remakes and revivals in anime?
Same as any franchise across all media really. I wouldn't have believed that Panty & Stocking and King of the Hill would both return in the same year if you told me a decade ago.

Here is Bo-bobo.

>>199780
They would be too busy arguing with each other and not focusing on their opponents at all.

>>199751
Your frustration is almost understandable but you're forgetting one thing; this has to come from the actual board rather than people from the outside. If tournaments on /a/ are started because someone else wants to make SaiGAR 2, you're just going to get colony tournaments with King tier results. If /a/ decides they don't want tournaments, people will have to learn to just respect that and stick to side tourneys.

>>199751
You do know tag-team is still permabanned from /co/ right? That’s why it’s here in the first place
No different if you host /a/ tournaments here now, which you can

>>199814
>men are better than women
That tracks.

Discussions on /a/ tend to be more nuanced than people give them credit for. Although they just might be a minority and plenty of people tell them to fuck off.

>199814
/a/nons voted for Guts in their proto tournaments with Kenshiro making it to quarter finals. The results aren't that far off.

>>199814
This place doesn’t vote for girls in general. Side tourneys have always been male favored, even the porn tourneys.

>>199822
>in their proto tournaments
Their male tournament.

>>199825
SaiGAR allowed both genders actually.

>>199824
It's amazing how much gays hate women.

Where were all the lolifags complaining when the tournaments happened a year ago?

Where are the /dbs/pics to put the moecaca lolifags down when you need them.

>>199826
Sure, ACKSHUALLY, but of course it's basically a male tourney, like saimoe was a female tourney.

>>199830
Or maybe women are just too lame even for 2007 /a/ tournaments.

>>199829
/dbs/ is the reason why the tournaments and /a/ are so shit.

>>199814
>these tourneys are bad because I can't jerk off to the characters
Gee, maybe if you wanted lolis/women so badly, you'd host a female tournament on your main board.

>>199829
/dbs/ aren't real /a/nons. It's no wonder they hang out around here so much.

>>199832
>literally just mentioned saimoe
Retard nigger.

>>199837
>we were talking specifically board tournaments
Double nigger.

>>199830
>>199837
I'm sure if saimoe allowed both genders male characters would still win.

How would loli even fit the theme of heroes and villains. I would understand being baffled female characters like Sailor Moon not making it far but it sounds people want moe crap.

>>199838
Saimoe was a board tournament, yes.

>>199842
If you're not voting on the board it's not a board tournament.

>>199842
GameFAQ contests are tournaments.

>Saimoe were actually 4chan tournaments
Either historical revisionism, trolling, or retardation. Call it.

https://saimoe.fandom.com/wiki/SaiGAR
>SaiGAR (meaning most GAR) is the male counterpart of SaiMoe. The word is a combination of the words Sai (最, a Japanese superlative) and GAR (a slang term used to describe badass men with very masculine traits).

>>199847
SaiGAR is a western bastardization of Saimoe, much like how 4chan was a western bastardization of 2channel.

>>199847
>using a wiki started by /tnt/fags
Shit nigger what are you doing?

>>199849
So? Doesn't change what the apparent purpose of SaiGAR was.

>>199851
The apparent purpose was to rip off what the Japanese were doing, not to be a "male counterpart". Which would make current tourneys a rip off of a rip off.

I swear this place cares more about arguing than actually campaigning or participating in tournaments.
Do people really care that much about women/lolis that they're complaining a YEAR later and debating ancient shit?

>>199850
That wiki was around since 2010.
>>199852
It's intended to be the counterpart to saimoe. It's obviously male in nature even if there were a few (controversial) female entries. This is such a blatantly retarded and obvious thing to argue about.

>>199854
>controversial
No one finds female characters controversial, you just want more female tournaments.

>>199854
>This is such a blatantly retarded and obvious thing to argue about.
It is because SaiGAR was never something 2channel did. Anons were doing coverage of Saimoe and wanted to be just like that. It's the entire history of 4chan.

This would have all been avoided if we just banned /dbs/.

>>199839
Technically the ISML allow male characters in.

>>199854
>That wiki was around since 2010.
It's been long since colonized by /tnt/roons, it's not something 4chan can claim anymore.

>>199856
>wanted to be just like that.
Except GAR instead of moe which is the point.

Are we just not allowed to have tag-team unless it's loli/moe oriented? Will it be more in line with what /a/ wants?

>>199863
Because westerners can't into moe, hence the bastardization. Just look at this thread.

>>199866
Okay.
>/tnt/ reading comprehension

>>199869
But enough about you.

>>199889
>>199893
Kek I laugh every time I see these

>>199902
Why doesn't Superman just end 99% of his conflicts by quickly laser beaming someone's elbows or knees to burn and disable them? Then they can't do any more harm but aren't permanently crippled either, if he targets muscle and not cartilage (when he can see, thanks to X-ray vision). Is he stupid?

>>199904
Some of Superman's enemies are as strong as him and can tank that.

>>199923
But what about the overwhelming majprity of them that aren't?

>thread has now devolved into Death Battle autism with Superman of all characters
Maybe we really shouldn't have any more anime tournaments.

>>199931
They can just heal themselves up and go back to causing harm.

>>199936
>Superman lasers a guy's hamstrings
>Now guy is a cripple
>Cripple is thrown into prison
>Cripple also can't escape, because surprise he's a fucking cripple

>Cripple is not a problem for a significant amount of time, as in significantly longer than the 3 days a DC character typically spends in prison not being a pest

>>200046
It's DC, they can just heal up using magic or technology or some shit.

>>200333
>TFW /tnt/ argues about /co/ death battle autism so much they end up forgetting the /a/ tag team tournament’s deadline
At least we both care about our real priorities than pointless bickering, give of a deadline on when it starts already!

>>200333
>>200338
Maybe if /tnt/ knows how to read.
>>199324

>>200339
Ah nice

So… is there actual enthusiasm for this?

>>200871
With how rough /tnt/ discussiom has been lately, I think it'd be more likely people would just spend most of the tournament griping about other tournaments like with what happened in /cov/

>>200872
Somehow more people are bitching about /a/ tournaments in the /v/ thread than here.

>>200871
What's the point? People would rather vote for Johnny and Gyro than something that actually reflects /a/'s tastes.

>>200884
/a/ would've still voted for SBR shit too.

>>200978
>modern /a/
>ever wanting anything to do with JoJo

August draws near.

I actually really liked the results of heroes and villains of /a/ compared to the others.

>>201569
Pretty much everyone did. There are no complaints except maybe heroes could've had a girl.

>>201569
It was probably because it was the first modern /a/-related tournament (even if it was off-site), so the voters were more keen on characters that they'd vote for in a proper tournament as well as who best fit the theme.

>>201575
Following the other tournaments, villains would have had a girl in the E8.

>>201569
>>201579
Also during the /v/ and /co/ tourneys, no one really knew if they were one-offs, so they went for the campaign-heavy characters since they assumed the arguably better-fitting picks would get their due later.

No hype for this. Getting close to the main season. I say maybe try this next year or forget about it until main /a/ tourneys happen.
