/tnt/ - Tournaments & Events

Predicting James from Pokemon takes a spot in king along with a spot in tag team.

>>200157
Looks good. Maybe add some smaller dolls next around each one that are connected via their games and maybe a couple of similar kid doodles.

>>200158
Oh yeah, I plan to have smaller knickknacks and posters that reference frequent elite eighters and tourney regulars. If I go for an antique store theme, I gotta include our resident old-timey radio host in the background.

Here's each winner sorted by fanart on Danbooru; I hope your QUEEN or KING isn't an artlet, anon

>Reimu: 84064
>Samus: 6724
>Madotsuki: 2096
>Midna: 1988
>Curly: 346
>Recette: 85

>Shadow: 2642
>Dante: 2128
>Batter: 176
>Grimm: 125
>Garland: 86 for FF1, 26 for SoP
>Senator Armstrong: 64

>>200162
Danbooru’s not a great representative since it’s obviously gonna favor an otaku icon like Touhou media massively.

>>200148
I wish.

>>200170
He might get the same boost Misty did

>>200175
Biff for king 2025

>>200176
Bathtub can't even qualify for /tnt/ tournaments, much less the real deal.

>>200162
This isn't a good way to represent the characters, like the previpus said it's going to be be extremely skewed to Touhou.
If you used e621 as an example, it'd hugely favor Midna and Shadow.

>>200162
>86 for FF1
Has nothing to do with Chaos bullshit man, doesn't count.

>>200157
Yeah what this anon said
>>200158

>>200148
/a/shit will never qualify with the pity boost, the VA wasn't even his original voice.
>b-but he was in Yell-
No one will vote for him for the games, he unironically has just as much character as Hex in those.

>>200184
You'd have a point if this wasn't king we were talking about.

James won't get the pity vote this year. It's going to be Professor Oak.

>>200182
Holy shit it's boudica

>>200148
What gives? Did something happened with him this year? I don't follow Pokemon.

>>200189
His third VA died recently. This is the second Pokemon VA that's died from cancer between 2024 and 2025.

>>200190
Ahh so that's why, well I don't think VA passing is gonna give him a boost that much.

>>200191
Probably not but AZ is really the only serious contender for a spot and you could get /v/ to vote for a lot of things. VA death is the only way to explain Misty qualifying last year come to think of it.

>>200202
None of you bitches stand a chance against my Grievous/Armstrong team (with Curly assist)

>>200204
>not going full grappler shithouse by pairing Armstrong with Bravo or Kronk
Doesn't matter cause I'll still beat your ass with Spider-Man/Dante with the Samus assist.

>>200202
I think a full-on /co/ vs. /v/ tournament would be even cooler. Mr. AND Mrs. included. Imagine all the tag-teams.

>>200219
>a full-on /co/ vs. /v/ tournament
Oh good lord…

>>200219
/v/ would win

>>200222
…the laundry folding competition.

>>200223
...After winning the /co/ vs /v/ competition.

>>200224
…which is your daydream as you fold laundry.

>>200225
You just summed up why /co/ vs /v/ would be a terrible idea

>>200225
The /co/ tears would be delicious. We have to do it,

>>200225
Imagine if a popular /co/ girl lost to Bazz or Vivian or Bridget.

>>200226
...which anon said to keep himself from crying.

>>200230
…which happened in anon's FF.net story.

>>200231
...in your schizophrenic delusions.

>>200233
…which is what your AO3 stories are.

I swear the IQ points of this place get lower with every new thread made.

>>200236
Why is this unfunny border hopper trying to steal Sam's gimmick?

>>200236
Why is this based Azteca warrior trying to improve on Sam's gimmick?

>>200236
Why is this based Chicano hero better at Sam’s gimmick than Sam himself?

>>200236
The /v/ tears would be delicious. We have to do it,

I miss my niggerbuff

>>200243
Nyarly…

>>200247
Strongni is better than Chel

>>200249
*Tak

>>200337
Finally.. LoR cutscenes OC once more

>>200225
Men are funnier than women so I could actually see this happening.

>>200380
Heroes of /a/…

>>200382
More like heroes of g/a/y

>>200380
SHITdow isn’t funnier than any Ms /co/ winner.

>>200384
No Ms /co/ winner is funny but every Ms. /co/ loser is funny though.

>/v/ thread obsessing over /co/ again

>>200386
When aren’t they?

My random prediction for King's winner this year is Scout. Feel he's got consistently great campaigning, general anon support, and simply a lot of likability. This is also the first time he's going to be back since the comic finale, which might give at least a small boost.

>>200162
Most shocking number is that Batter is so low. Rest I can get why they're where they're at here. Armstrong and Jack definitely suffer from being realistic men who can be harder to translate into art (with the caveat Jack has a form easier to stylize).

>>200389
>King /v/ retiring an E8 beloved board character

>>200385
Fang was funny.

>>200389
/v/ doesn't read comics.

>>200407
I mean, last year was alreayd majority former E8, with only three new members.

>>200408
You ever think king's E8 is getting too stagnant and bloated?

>>200409
King's E8 is getting stagnant because the voters won't let a single one win and retire.

>>200410
The whole tournament has gotten kind of stagnant if you think about it. Same kinds of winners, same guys in the E8 line up, same "rolling for rapes" in each threads, etc.

>>200393
Why retire when you can compete forever? Don't you want to cheer for your favorites eternally?

>>200389
>he's got consistently great campaigning, general anon support, and simply a lot of likability.
True, but being a conventional favorite doesn’t win King /v/.

>>200425
>King's E8 becomes season 5 Samurai Jack.

>>200425
No, the goal is to WIN. That's why people are getting resentful of the good characters not winning.

>>200425
Hexfag…

>>200425
I don't understand this logic. Wouldn't it be nicer to have your character be immortalized and basically get a free pass to bring them up anytime because they're now a winner? Plus you don't have to worry about campaigning for them ever again.

>>200441
>Plus you don't have to worry about campaigning for them ever again.
And that's the snag. Being never be able to campaign for a character means a campaigner loses, by the logic of king at least.

If I can't win I want the character I campaign for to be immortalized in the tournaments in some way.

>>200441
It’s the quintessence of campooner mindset. The tournament itself is actually a non factor, it’s basically just a discord chat to rp and share art.

I thought the point of king of /v/ was to have fun?

>>200453
Having the same things happen over and over again every tournament isn’t really all that fun.

>>200448
Even according to a campaigner mindset I still find it to be retarded, because once your character wins you get a free pass for inserting them everywhere on top of being immortalized as a winner.

>>200452
Would be a real monkey’s paw if he won only because of another hype schizo campaign.

>>200458
I'm surprised Armstrong hasn't been posted more considering the tournament idea fits his ideology of the strong coming out on top and how Raiden has had notable writefagging the past two years. Bit of a missed opportunity there.

>>200458
Most recent kings batter included aren't even looked upon as fondly anymore and are more or less blamed for everything wrong.

>>200457
That's my reasoning too. Queen is great because my favorite girls already won, so I can just talk about them whenever and get to comfortably watch what everybody else is doing.

>>200463
The more generally agreeable a winner is the less meta presence they have has generally been the trend in tourneys.

>>200469
So in essence, "Jenny, Bravo, Kronk, Armstrong, Dante, Tom, and Midna were too likeable to fuck anything up"?

>>200463
Honestly I'd argue all Kings have presence to some degree. Armstrong does show up from time to time either to be used as opinion or just funposting. Dante shows up more often as a duo with Reimu. Jack shows whenever chaos is mentioned etc

>>200465
Can't imagine being a fan of Samus or Reimu, coming to this once a year party, and then not being able to do anything fun or meaningful, or witnessing what others bring to the party. For all practical purposes, your character is banned forever.

>>200472
There's a reason anti E8 fag tried getting the rules lifted. This is basically prison for your favorites.

I predict a horse will reach e8 in queen this year.

>>200472
I guess that's why GameFaqs doesn’t have the “retire the champion” rule for their champions.

>>200465
>>200474
A horse race scenario applies as an analogy, if your horse wins but then retires, you lose the thrill of betting on it. Sure, you can talk about your retired champion, but nobody will care as much, because the excitement is always about the horses still in the race.

>>200476
This is why retiring more E8 members would be disastrous for the tournaments.

>here’s why winning is bad and you should actually support your enemies

>>200474
Better than Hex.

>>200474
MLP bros…it's our time.

>>200474
Worse than Hex

>>200470
Funny you didn’t mention Samus, who’s probably the most conventional and agreeable winner across all tournaments and has the least discussion. She doesn’t even have presence in retrospectives.

>>200484
>Samus
>Midna
>Dante
>Kronk
>Tom
These are the winners that have basically no presence beyond being on the champion list. There’s a conventional universality to them on the board plus being straightforward utterly uncontroversial in how they won that just doesn’t lend any comment.
It’s only been a year but Frankie seems to be the same. Mado as well, but that also might do with how like 4-5 other girls eclipsed her as center of attention last year for various negative reasons and pretty much everyone still talks about them.

>>200488
Mado is only going to be mentioned and seen as the only "right" winner in a long time for /v/.

>>200459
i will be shocked if he doesn't make it to E8

>>200474
EPONASISTERS...

>>200494
Kirby and Captain Falcon seem the most likely to me, there's also a chance Battler and Asura make it there purely because of memes

>>200494
I mean no insult to the characters themselves but it's impressive how 90% of these are either completely irrelevant, would make for quarterfinals filler at best, or just have shit reputations.

>>200494
Captain Falcon seems the most likely and deserving (consistently a midcarder, came really close last year and lost to a former E8 member, from a well-liked series, really the only racing game rep)
Kirby could maybe make it depending on how Kirby Air Riders is
Bowser could potentially make a deep run since some anons seem to really want to make a push for him
CJ might make it far again if he keeps up momentum from last year

>>200484
Samus is my favorite one, I just forgot lmao.

>>200494
Why only post King characters tho?

>>200501
Kirby is right there, bro
