/tnt/ - Tournaments & Events

Let's start this thread with a good opener:
What are some of the best winners ever?

>>205695
Shadow

>>205695
>ms.
Frankie
>mr.
Spider-Man
>queen
Curly
>king
Dante

Do we include the side tourneys too?

>>205697
Side tourneys aren't real tourneys.

>>205700
Fair enough.

>>205697
the /trash/ ones aren't side tourneys.

>>205697
I don't see why not

>>205702
Well on that topic, I guess it's Tyr for the female tournament and I'm not sure that's for coom reasons and just because I liked her in Duck Dodgers.
The male tournament only has one winner so there's not exactly options.

>ANOTHER capeshit OP
Can we not for once?

>>205702
They're not main one's either. This place constantly gassing them to be the same tier as /co/ and /v/ is stupid.

>>205706
>still seething over Death winning

>>205707
I couldn't give a fuck (or fap) what the gay tourney elects.

>>205708
You are quite literally getting mad over furries.

>>205710
How is that what you glean from my post?

>>205711
>furry tournaments don't count because…they just don't okay?!

don't feed the trolls
ignore him, he's trying to start a meltdown over shit nobody seriously has issue with again

Personally I never got the point of tournaments on /aco/ and /trash/.

>>205713
Because they're small. I would've said the same thing if it wasn't a furry tourney.
If the tourney cannot average at least 300 votes per round it shouldn't count with the "big four."
>now inb4 Mr. get less than 300 this year.

Predicted vote counts this year:
>Ms. /co/: 450
>Mr. /co/: 250 or barely 300
>Queen: 750
>King: 600

If a board's tournament has gone on for 3+ years at this point, can it really be called a side tourney?

>>205718
Aren't "side tourneys" just tourneys that happen in attached relation to a bigger one? (i.e. bottom, barred, tag team and co-op too I guess). I think the better distinction for things like /an/ and such is minor and major tourneys.

>>205720
The parallel to major league and minor league in sports is quite fitting.

>>205720
Yeah, I'd say the /co/ and /v/ tourneys are the main ones, Playboy and Tag Team the minor ones, and Bottom/Barred the side tourneys

>>205717
Grim

>>205749
He would actually be a good winner.

>>205733
Pretty much this.
I can understand the case for things like the team tourneys and /an/lympics being discussed with the big four as long as no one is treating them as such (they often share hosts with the main ones, the Wiki front page acknowledges them, blahblahblah), but trying to group Barred and Bottom with these is getting too far and should be viewed as nothing more than side acts.

>>205705
Kingbro btw

>>205705
No need to say that about Capcom, anon.

>>205806
Ain't no way /an/ or /his/ is practically the same tiered status as /co/ or /v/. I still think the main marker should be voter count and activity.

>>205811
/an/ and /his/ are smaller boards, of course they're not gonna have as many voters
they only feel like a sideshow because there's no meta for /tnt/ to circlejerk over

>>205814
They feel like sideshows cause they're small. Small = minor. Minor tourneys.

>>205716
After the shitstorm that happened with the staff on April we will be lucky if we get 300 if the raid from sharty didn't fend off the regular lurkers.

>>205717
I don't see how getting less than 500 is bad. We're talking about threads who had an ip count of already 200 people posting and a lot of them most likely using alternate accounts. If anything less than 500 is the right amount to define the thread is voting. Of course not /co/ or /v/ general vote in these tourneys but you get the point.

>>205820
By the latter I obviously mean that of course not the other lurkers who are in the other threads are gonna pay attention to the tourneys and vote. Unfortunately these tourneys never get the vote of absolute everyone in the board but just a bunch of us who are still in touch with them.

why not:
>main board tournament
>off-board tournament
>side tournament
main can be for all on 4chan, off-board can be for /tnt/ and side tournaments can be from either site and are attached to a bigger tournament?

>>205822
Cause again, just putting all "main board" tourneys together now levels an event like /his/ that gets 20 voters and one thread with an even like Queen that gets 1000+ voters a 100+ threads.

>>205820
I don't know why it keeps being assumed the thread post count is so indicative to the voter count. There's nothing unrealistic to me that the active thread posters are only like 40% of total voters. You constantly have "silent powerhouses" that no one actively supports or even mentions getting far.

>>205825
You forgot /m/

>>205826
That shit was cancelled by the jannies

>>205825
that's actually a good point that I missed, main tournaments take place ON their main boards and voter count isn't really a factor

>>205827
....................Why?

>>205825
>>205828
Just split up "Main" category into "major" and "minor." I don't know why we want to completely ignore the division between tiny and giant tourneys that get way more attention and content.

>>205831
It would be too cliche if we only consider the /co/ and /v/ tourneys as the only 4 main tournaments, We should but adding some more doesn't hurt the importance of /co/ and /v/ tourneys. I know /his/, /trash/ and /an/ don't get that much attraction let alone for some being too new but they still take place in their respective boards whatsoever.

>>205830
Didn't the organizer bail?

>people just finding out /m/ tournament was cancelled

>>205832
>too cliche
What? Why would it matter?
Also not even what I'm saying. You can call a tourney "main" but also "minor" under all these categories. I don't get insisting they're all equal when there's obviously a massive difference between them.

>>205837
stop trying to min/max tournaments lmao
#alltournamentsarevalid

>>205834
I thought this was common knowledge, it was posted about pretty frequently in 2023.

>>205837
I just personally think the category shouldn't be necessary. A lot of the differences come from the amount of voters around which not a lot are aware of these others. Other than that, it's not much different.

>>205842
It's seems pretty straightforward and common sense. Dinky loosely put together events with a few dozen circlejerkers and single threads vs. massive organized events with several hundreds of anons and tons of OC and off-season hype and discussion and meta. Does using more than one axis just blow your mind?

Just call them board tournaments.

>>205846
Boardies for short.

ngl this just feels like some people reeeaaaally wanting to have their tiny pet favorite tourneys thought of on the same level as the big old founding four in the inter-meta tourney autist-verse.

>>205849
I honestly forget /an/ and /his/ tournaments even exist sometimes.

>>205842
>it's not much different other than this factor that makes them hugely different

I think the only tourneys that can really stand with /co/ and /v/ in terms of numbers and fanfare are the hypothetical /a/ and /tv/ ones, both of which seem impossible to get started and just disappear into aether whenever anything seems to get going about it.

>>205849
This desu. Whole thing sounds like an anon really wanting a meme pick like Anon's Budgerigar Birb to be discussed alongside other "le ebin winners" like Johnny Bravo or Dante but is insecure about smaller tourneys.

>>205853
It kind of misses the point that these are CHARACTER contest and trying to replicate that with general plants and animals won't have the same effect as using fictional characters.

>>205852
/trash/ got like ~80 votes a round average? /an/ was about the same and so are the side tourneys here. /his/ is at the low end of about ~25.
Mr. gets about ~400, Ms ~700, King ~800, Queen ~1000. /mlp/ is kind of hard to find the data but looks like about ~100?
If I could guess at hypothetical numbers for other proposed tourneys:
>/a/ (female): ~800
>/a/ (male): ~600
>/tv/: ~1000+ (i legit think it could be the biggest on the site)
>/m/: ~80
>/lit/: ~150
>/fit/: ~120
>/pw/: ~150
>loli/b/owl: ~100
>/mu/: ~100
>/jp/: ~120
But this is all pre-hack. One of the interesting things with this years tourneys would be a hard look at how much the hack might've actually effected traffic.

>>205849
so really we should define them also as meta defining and non-meta relevant tournaments?

/mlp tourneys are weird. They're these events that are as old as /v/'s and seem to be decently active and well run but pretty much exist in their own completely isolated context with no relevance at all here. I keep forgetting about them then someone brings them up and I think "oh yeah, those happen."

>>205857
Doesn't help that they're near impossible to talk about outside /mlp/ thanks to GR15.

>>205857
When do those even happen anyway?

>>205851
which is?

>>205852
The doomerism about /a/ and /tv/ is so stupid because literally all that needs to happen is one guy manning up and making a nominations thread. Queen of /a/ was an absolute dumpster fire, like genuinely the worst tournament ever hosted thus far, but it was genuinely good for the single day that the host didn't sperg out. People were generally happy, threads were fast and even some OC got made. It was a little rough but absolutely could've ended great with better management.
We just need one man, A HERO, to rise to the occasion... but who? Whom will dawn the armor and be our shining knight?

>>205866
The heroes of heroes.

>>205866
My knees.... They are kneeling on their own!

>>205865
Why don't YOU do it anon? You know a host kit exists? Is it laziness? lack of motivation, confidence, and/or time? Therein lies the problem. Everyone talks about starting new tourneys but no one wants to run them. It's telling that the Queen of /a/ guy was also an apparent retard newfag, probably underage too. It seems to take that kind of brazen naivety to just storm in, create and try to run a new major tourney out of the blue.

>>205869
Plus there's the one thing that's been discussed over and over again; there has to be genuine desire from the home boards and so far there hasn't been much of that. A lot of the times, it just as across as people wanting to push tourneys on other boards regardless of what the inhabitants think.

>/tv/ -1000+
Still makes me confused why nobody's started one given /tv/ has next to no moderation, just last week I remember seeing a frogpost OP with no text and the thread was full of off-topic schizo rants and funposting, and despite all that it stayed up for like 16 hours with no deletion or autosage. And /tv/ is filled with these kind of brainless threads all the time, if the jannies allow those there's no way a tournament where people actually talk about television shows and movie would be a problem.

>>205910
Someone apparently went to contact the mods but there's been no word since.

>>205695
>Queen
If I put personal bias aside, then Midna. Otherwise, Samus.
>King
Dante
>Co-Op
Banjo & Kazooie

Dreams Never Die
I never participated in the /co/ tournaments, so I don't know if I could really give an opinion on who the best winners are, so I'll just say that I like Jenny and Bravo the most.
>>205910
I believe it was during Queen 2022 that someone tried to start a Queen /tv/ tournament out of the blue, but it got saged.

>>205911
Do we need to? Like anon said the moderation on that board seems lax enough that they wouldn’t give a shit if we ran a tourney unannounced.

>>205920
If that happens I never want to hear people say xitter is less cancerous than reddit again
Both are absolute cancer but xitter is way more invasive to 4chan in general, just look at how many retarded twitter screencaps from blatant tourists flood every single board.

>>205922
How are so many screenshot threads even allowed? A lot of the time they barely have anything to do with the board topic.

>>205920
Most seem to assume an outside flood would come from something related to /v/ tourneys. But the biggest leaks to date were /co/ related (ten reddit thousand views for that wedding OC and the facebook crossover).

>>205921
Better to be on the safe side and to ask because A. it doesn't look like a tournament is being forced on the board and B. insurance in case a janny decides to suddenly janny.

>>205924
Nope. The biggest tournament leak was Ashleynigger posting tournament thread OPs directly on twitter. A piece of tournament art for Madotsuki got something like a quarter of a million views. Xitter is still the worst of the worst.

>>205943
Riiight. Funny how that pretty much got memoryholed. I remember everyone having a meltdown and calling it the end of tourneys then everyone completely forgot about it next thread. Asheyfag even posted more OC in the threads later and no one brought it up.
Which honestly is okay since it didn't seem to have any perceptible effect on anything. Xitterfags seemed to not know what the fuck it was. The worst leak is still the facebook thing since it was a direct poll link that increased turnout 100+% and got a hated character to win and arguably ruined ms. /co/ for years.

>>205946
It's still more ammuniton for why lolifags are shit

>>205947
We know you're obsessed and want any reason to bring them up.

>>205949
You're right, I should stop. Apologies.

>>205943
Biggest you say, it was a complete nothing burger you autist.

>>205958
why would goku do that

>almost all of /v/'s most remarkable and prolific drawfags are lolifags /tnt/ hates

>>205958
Why is this crap so funny?

>>205963
You're autistic.

>implying autism isn't the fuel for all of these tourneys

COMPLETEMONSTERku....

>>205943
> posting tournament thread OPs directly on twitter
He didn't post the OP. He posted his art, which was then used for the OP.
Also if you looked at NiggerRock's king /v/ plane post everyone was completely oblivious to the tournament part and just going haha funny pilot.

>>205943
The only thing that would kill them (that is not mods ending them or the site dying) is if some YouTuber made a video directly about tournaments

>>205969
Someone should educate them.

>>205958
>that indentation in Bejita where the car ran him over
Keeeeeeeeeek

>>205953
Please continue.

>>205987
I'm afraid Goku killed them all
>>205967

>>205962
/tnt/ is faggity circlejerk that never represented source board opinions.

Gotta be honest I don't see as much motivation in myself about the tournaments. It could be related to some things but I say it's mostly because of that stupid 10 posts limit rule that 4chan established.

>>206001
Wasn't it less than ten now?

>>206001
It wasn’t that bad last year, everyone got their nominations in despite the rule

>>206014
We were setting nominations records despite the rule. Kind of bullshit tbh. Likely goes to show how samefagged it is.

>>206001
>10 posts limit rule
What??

>>205920
Well I mean he did posted a King OC once with no context whatsoever. Its more likely than you'd think.

>>206000
The tournaments themselves are faggoty circlejerks that slowly lose ties to its source boards.

>>206057
It's literally just a beauty contest powered by Google forms. Faggots like for example the cuckfag from /co/ don't even bother participating in the tournament they just want a reaction for the sake of that free (You).

>>206001
That doesn't matter much outside of nominations.

>>206060
>It's literally just a beauty contest
It's more like a favorite character contest. How would you explain the male tourneys?

>>206064
Shadow is pretty hot, seems more like a beauty contest winner to me.

>>206064
Straight male demographic.

>>206132
Nothing straight about what goes on in either male tourney. Or even some of the female tourneys if I'm being honest.

>>206134
That's just a loud minority.

>>206219
I checked every winner from both boards. The only one's to win and not be nominated the first thread are:
>Kronk (thread 2)
>Betty (thread 2)
>Reimu (thread 2)
>Recette (thread 7)
Once again Recette's a huge outlier. Every other winner seemed to get nominated pretty quickly. So your likely winner is someone nominated in the first twenty or so minutes.

>>206225
Kleinerfag always does manage to nominate one of his picks in the first five minutes...

>>206262
To be fair so do all of you
I guarantee that everyone but pure funposters who don’t care for tournaments who see this post will be refreshing the board tomorrow waiting for the first thread and nominate a pick within 2 minutes

>>206262
And they're all either literally whos or meme picks.

>>206263
>>206264
Now I'm wondering who the first character nominated in every tournament was. And I'm talking about every year.

>>206064
My dude a good bunch of people voting for Zorak just did so because they wanted to fuck him

>>206264
That doesn't narrow it down.

>>206272
Archives exist.

>>206297
Just take the L on the retarded take instead of throwing out more of them.

>>206320
>3rd is Death from Sandman
sad falloff, that one.

I think the nom system is kind of broken ATM, the (you) system filters out laggers and very very obscure characters. The number of yous scales pretty well with the number of nominations so it doesn't really alleviate anything.

>>206375
however inadvertedly it does help the threads archive faster so people can nom even more people. Although if the goal is to have fewer nominations, paradoxically it would be better to let everyone nominated with an image in and have the thread die out slower. But this would be asinine

>>206376
On the other hand there are redundant nominations quite often so perhaps there'd be more room for nominating new characters faster in each thread

>>206373
It's the duality of being a cult favorite waifu.

>>206373
She would've fallen off regardless, but it still has more to do with cartoonfags finding tournaments and drowning out comicfags past the first year because comics are a niche hobby. Even though /co/ owes its existence to comics, since it was created because people kept posting comic book pages on /b/.

Alright, here's a list of the nominee from every /co/ tournament. In 4 hours this will be outdated.
