#SUPERDAFFY*

>>219951
It wasn't great back then, but I do kind of miss when this place was more preoccupied with shitting itself over how Ms. and King would unfold rather than making a hundred of failed attempts at establishing a tourney culture on other boards.

>>219963
The "coob" schizo and forced site tourneys to stick it to him is probably the dumbest shit i've ever seen here and that's saying something.

>>219965
Winner predictions next year:
Pomni wins Ms. /co/ of course, only nearby competitor is Tyr'ahnee who is currently a wildcard cause it's unknown how much Daffy winning same series fucks her. After her there's Jucika and ENA who while statistically significant and vocal simply don't feel like finish line "winner material." Anyone else would be a surprise. Ms. /co/ will also be a shitfest again with possible rigging cause of everything surrounding Pomni and Circusfags.

Mr. /co/'s most obvious returner is Courage, but I think Popeye's broke the mold and will get a big push now. It's also possibly (hear me out) Batman who is long overdue for another big run and would be the perfect male DC accompaniment in the lineup now.

Queen is genuinely up in the air. I have no idea. After Hornet lost R1 and Tron snuck in amidst all the shit this year and most of the big returners being silent or controversial in some way, it feels like anyone's game who's at least been midcard before. I'm gonna throw out Felicia and say she finally gets the overdue run. It's gonna be a shitfest tourney, especially with the return of a certain pokemon trainer and the riggering and meta context of 2025's.

King is either gonna be JC or Demifiend, or a harsh swing back into a another hype non-E8 dude in which case it can't be called exactly who.

>>219973
There's also Kim and Azula, who used to be considered powerhouses, but have kind of fallen off

>>219974
Kim and Azula are kind of jokes right now. The former is E8 filler who got a humiliation ritual last time and the latter is fraud outdated acronym filler. Maybe one of them gets a massive boost in vocal support and wins but it'd be a surprise.

If Jessica Rabbit ever gets lucky and gets into E8(and she's come close two years in a row now, 10th place and 9th place if you compare ratio) she's a major threat for that one year due to the boost of the gatekeeper getting in and leaving Club Perfect. If she fails that's it, she's not getting another shot at it, but that one year she'll be an A+ Tier powerhouse.

>>219973
Hmm, what's up with the confidence in either JC or Demi-fiend winning?

>>219973
>Felicia
Also worth noting I think she's the 2nd best performing non-E8 in queen? It could definitely be her. The only one above her I think is Zelda but she'd never win the whole thing cause same series curse + boring normie mascot mainstream character perception.

>>219977
Hypest returning powerhouses.

>>219973
Miku is going to sweep

>>219982
I think she'd unironically be a fine winner.

>>219982
Miku ain't dimes enough to fight back any potential controversy.

>>219985
She's full of dimes though.

>>219986
She's typically very silent and has no diehard campaigners, is what I mean.

>>219979
Are you sure about that?

>>219989
Yes. If you're thinking of AM or Sam they're more of a meme hype thing.

Another year-end dump of some statistical autism.

4. Queen /v/ 2024: 1,454
5. Ms. /co/ 2022: 1,422
Things to note, plenty of characters in Ms. /co/ 2025 were missed and added to the form later so it's probably about 1,500. Also the /v/ tourneys in 2024 had 10 nominations instead of the 12 (might've legit been an OP mistake as the year before and after weren't like this) which may have contributed to the high number that year. In any case all tourneys following this year's Ms. /co/ bumped form 10 to 12 replies.

Biggest blowouts of each tourney this year:
>Ms /co/
Raven > Ahsoka Tano at 789/344 (69.6%) in round 1
>Mr. /co/
Jack > Mao Mao at 304/71 (81.1%) in round 1
>Queen /v/
Morrigan > Krystal at 889/430 (67.4%) in round 1*
>King
Doomguy > Pac-Man at 558/215 (72.2%) in round 1
