How did we get Fox McCloud in a MARIO movie before we got the third and final episode of "A Fox in Space"? I thought the guy making them switched to high-quality 3D models so he could animated faster, and we somehow got two entire megabudget hollywood movies since the second episode.

Man, they did go and make Fox McCloud pretty hot in the Mario Galaxy movie. Those lucious black lips reminded me of Diane Foxington.
I thought it was weird that Illumination included a scene of those Fox lips suck Rosalina's futa dick though, and the cum shooting out of his nostrils was really excessive. But maybe the sheer size of her cock was what let the movie get away with a "PG", that thing looked pretty unrealistic. I don't think the blowjob scene needed to last 8 minutes though, it could've been shorter.

But you're correct in that this 8th year's show should be a big deal. Hah, kind of wish E3 still existed since I could easily shoehorn it into being E8.

Hmm. I certainly could for the image I use, but translating that into audio? I already have the 1920's effect and aesthetic going on. I guess I should ask instead what the 'story' is I should use. Every theme has a story (even if paper thin) going from a definite start to a definite finish.

Bringing the discussion over here cause so as not to keep shitting up the porn thread.
How come npc class sorts of characters weren't a concern or rule point in /v/ from the start? You got npc non-characters representing a whole type like Hex Maniac and Gardevoir and in all those years, and it's hardly ever been brought up until the Hexfag drama got out of hand six years deep in the /v/ tourneys. If "Hex Maniac" won the tourney would if default to Helena? Seems like something that should've been restricted, would've saved a ton of drama in the long run.

Nobody expected them to do that well so nobody cared until it was already a problem, and then retroactively fixing it is messy as hell. Hexfag was a surprise x factor and then a lot of anons would have been pissed off if we banned archetypes and forced them to nominate a specific one. That's why nobody stopped sweet lady propane, she was supposed to be a qualifiers gag who was never supposed to qualify, and why nobody who knew spoke up about the loli on trash until too late.

TL:DR, the Princess Marco problem of nobody stopping a rulebreak or ruleunclear troll because nobody thinks it will matter until suddenly they're in and now they're effectively grandfathered. People often do it intentionally specifically to try to grandfather them(albeit that's probably not the case with Hex)

If Joey got in first than the precedent should be you have to nominate specific characters and not an entire NPC class, but because that one was a small meme thing and Hex has an army of thirst traps we all know the hosts would ignore that fact and let Hex run despite a strict following of the original written rules saying that's not how it should be.

Both Gardevoir and Hex Maniac were somewhat controversial for being pure coombait and hogging pokemon slots and got fairly far before their E8 runs. In hindsight it's pretty strange this was never an issue brought up all those years. They might've been successfully barred with a vote early on, but it feels far too late now.

We're also supposed to nominate characters in their original design and yet Hex is nommed with off model fan art of the Kalos design and not on model canon art of the Hoenn design. The hosts don't care.

People don't see a need to rule on something they don't think can happen unless it's already happened, and then after that the grandfather clause ruins everything and makes fixing things impossible. See Sweet Lady Propane, Princess Marco, or the /trash/ winner.

Really the Grandfather Clause was originally intended to be used for, like, 2018 characters like Robotnik or Lydia who got in before the rules were finalized as an easter egg, not to greenlight characters who snuck in due to rule vagueness or the mods not catching a violation in time. They don't know everything, hell even Psyanon didn't know Cassandra Cain and Stephanie Brown existed so how can we expect them to know a Family Guy character is just Meg?

Because there were no concerns, they are characters. The only reason there are complaints now is because of other reasons, and complaining about rules is a way to try and get those characters out.
If Hex Maniac wins, Hex Maniac wins. Helena is just a named Hex Maniac, so technically she does wins too, but Helena alone would not win because nobody gives a shit about her, she's not the popular Hex Maniac.

What, your issue is it not being a single instance of a character?

Joey is the most popular Youngster, he's the face of the trainer class, which by itself is not popular in any way.

The Generalization clause is about every instance of a character being that grouped together, so that Toon Link, Young Link and CD-I Link are all counted as one, to both not have the chance of multiple Links taking spots in the tournament but also to combine all their characteristics into one and making a stronger contestant.
Hmm, every instance combined into one, huh? That sounds awfully like a bunch NPCs being grouped into one thing, one could even say, one class.

The conversation started with character ClASSES and then got warped into "Oh so all generic characters are bad hmmm?" Then Link and Zelda were brought which is such a weird motte and bailey.

Sadly, you can't stop people from going out-of-character after the nominations, especially when the most popular depiction of characters is fanmade stuff. Touhou characters come to mind, for example.
Generic characters can be molded into a lot of things, but not absolutely whatever. The trainer classes have characteristics to them, like Hex Maniacs being dark and gloomy and using Ghost and Psychic-type Pokémon. You can do a lot with this, but you can also do things that wouldn't fit.

Character classes are generic characters with multiple instances, there are other characters that are also generic and have multiple instances, that's it.

>>230684
It literally does? When nominating a character like Link, you're nominating all of them, from all games. Someone might vote for CD-I Link but not BOTW Link and vise versa, so combining both into one character that gets the votes of both makes for a stronger contestant. It wasn't the goal of the clause, but it does end up doing that, that's what I meant.

The creative aspect of Pokémon comes from the players catching, changing and using them, being able model them as they wish.
Nominating one Pokémon from a certain NPC removes all of this and replaces it with "belonging to the NPC", which is not interesting in any way since at that point why are you not nominating that NPC instead?

Maybe there can be like a two year clause for grandfathering. If one character slips through and it's generally agreed after they've qualified that they shouldn't have been there they can be barred from then on. If they make it in two years though they're practically accepted and officially grandfathered. This would at least clear some really odd picks from getting in again at the moment.

The important part for me is individual Goombas by and large do not have names and functional identical mechanically, while members of the same trainer class all have canon names and canon teams that are different and thus all play a little differently.

Youngster Joey got in first because he's popular, not the class of Youngsters. Hex Maniac is nominated as such because dude, it's just porn and that's the tag. The most popular Hex NPC is the milk seller with no name, which I suppose you could nominate her as "the Hex Maniac that sells Moomoo Milk", there wouldn't be any difference though.
Gym Leader isn't a generic class, it isn't one design with character traits, it's a bunch of fully distinct characters sharing the title of Gym Leader. The generic classes share more than title, they are the same design and usually very similar personality and traits, they are similar enough to be grouped into one class.

The issue, in the end, is that a class should be nominated under whatever the face of said class is, like Joey, and if it lacks one and isn't popular then it wouldn't qualify because it's not popular, Hex Maniac being the unfortunate exception of this.

/v/’s tournament culture is just as much of a popularity contest, the only real difference is /co/ is popularity based on long-term character impact and notability while /v/ is based on immediate campaign notability and who is the most popular campaigner in the threads, while the character itself is the irrelevant proxy for the campaigner
So /co/ might vote for Raven or Daffy as the most popular characters, but /v/ will vote for Aerd and Hexfag for being the most popular campaigners

I can't even articulate reasons for me to like her either unlike the other winners with source material I don't care about. I don't know much about Grimm nor did I ever vote for him either, but I can at least give him praise for his cool design and some of the crazy lore people mention about him. But that's just me.
>they can't blame her for pulling a controversial underdog win like tron in finals
I mean beating someone like Mado as such a massive underdog with some confessions of people saying they are voting for you because of the OC and the effort put in by your drawfag was bound to cause controversy eventually when looking back on it even if it didn't at the time. I know some people think you shouldn't bring up the meta aspects surrounding Recette's win, but talking about wins in general will naturally lead to some meta discussion and Recette is one of the winners I feel that hinged on the most meta. I can at least respect that it got some more people into drawfagging and doing stronger campaigns even if quite a few of those campaigns got annoying. Also, I thought the Tron hate was actually pretty forced. She seems like a pretty straightforward winner to me and it's not like she came out of nowhere. She has gotten pretty far before and has always been generally well liked. I think people got a little too invested in the Etna hype when both were pretty good choices. Etna still has good odds in the future.

In a statistical sense she actually wasn't as odd as she's made out to be. Practically however she was a pretty left field. Roll was taking all the Megaman attention and expectations, and Tron was never a big name in Queen. I don't recall anyone ever saying she'd be a potential winner. Consider also the roll randomized played in the tourney which is another point of controversy about her.

Do keep in mind /co/ was also sliding heavily that way during NSA's years, albeit how much of it was due to board behavior actually changing and how much was due to randomization and how much was due to NSA tampering is unclear. 2023 felt the most /v/ style even though in hindsight Wuya and Eris were being rigged for and Wuya should have lost R2 to Velma.

Interestingly, Ms. /co/ swung back hard to being super traditionalist, even moreso than it was in 2019 and 2020, but Mr. /co/ has a bit more of a mixed position as of last year. Daffy is very popular, but was carried over the finish line by a pretty forced campaign

I'm a centrist on this argument. I like my winners with close to a balance of popularity and campaigning, though true balances aren't really possible, with campaigns close to their original characters and maybe a few OOC jokes that come from some larger fandom in-joke or spirals from an exaggeration of an official event that happened to that character, but I'm not opposed to a campaign underdog or a silent majority character building up to their win and have at least voted for both extremes at some later parts in the tournaments before.

What should matter most is simply whichever character you like the best imo. Campaigns have always basically been tiebreakers to me. When the board collectively votes along this line you tend to get the "traditional" powerhouses and winners, and i think such a winner is the best example of winner or mascot representative or whatever for the board. I guess that naturally puts me in the "popularity" side. But it's always come down fundamentally to what someone thinks the purpose of a tourney or tourneys are in the first place. It's hard to define the line at which tourneys should be a celebration of themselves, and hence how much weight pure campaigning and certain meta should hold.

The whole Superdaffy meme is late revisionism focused on what was really around 10 posts or so in an entire round to try to justify to themselves why they got a shit finale instead of vs Hank, and also to try to find something to shit on a largely flawless winner in Daffy as funposting culture does to every winner.
To them it wasn’t that Superman had a hyped recent film (or Daffy for that matter) it wasn’t how the insane Betterman falseflagging and bad reboot finally catching up to Hank, it wasn’t the meta fears of one the characters becoming Eggman. No, it was they were “tricked” by some retard who made 5 posts that were barely recognized at the time.
Superdaffy does not even explain Superman winning in earlier rounds. There were many off-ramps, you could have voted SpongeBob or Donald and might have gotten a better end result, the results were close for both. Voters chose Superman and he got to the finals because you wanted him to be there. Regret or not people do need to own that is what they wanted vs late claiming they got tricked when the inevitable happened.

Eggman was always getting shitted on as the ultimate jobber. Last King it just went from joke to a lot of unironic hate cause people were finally getting tired of meme. It seemed like he obviously wasn't gonna win and was just getting far to job again and thus was wasting the E8 slot beating a very vocally favored guy in the process (Demi-fiend).

You mean not super strong? Luigi is a 2x E8 and Pepsiman is statistically the strongest non-E8 in King.
But I agree Falcon is practically almost a powerhouse, he's like a filter and can easily go far in the right circumstances.

Meta is lobbying politicians around the world to implement laws that make operating systems have mandatory age fields. They are doing this because their Instagram is full of children who are legally not allowed to browse the site, risking them a potential 50 billion dollar fine. But if they just rely on the OS giving them age data, then they can say they acted on good faith and it's the OS maker who is responsible with providing accurate age information.

Best case scenario is that you have an extra age field in your OS account that websites can query, and we have absolutely no clue as to how accuracy will be enforced, if ever.

Digital IDs are a different thing entirely.

I really shouldn't engage in this discussion, it's so blatantly just that one guy who tries making a molehill out of anything he can again, but like it's such easy-to-follow logic man
Vinny And Jobel = Real Guys. Eccentric but not playing any sort of character
AVGN = Not a real person, just played by one. Hilariously fictional character who regularly reviews other vidya and has 2 official games. His entire existence is based in Video Games culture ala Captain N or Android 21
Grand Dad = Original Character made for a game that just happens to be a bootleg. Best supplementary material is also a youtube channel that frequently uploads vidya ost rips
Nostalgia Critic = Same as AVGN, but unlike the former he's not allowed in /co/ because he's very clearly leaning more towards /tv/ with things like the ChannelAwesome films and The Wall review.
By this line of thinking ALF isn't allowed in Star of /tv/ since he's not played by a human actor despite his prominence in a life-action sitcom. Now I will concede that, by the logic I laid out, would also mean some others like Moviebob or Irate Gamer would also count. But like... people vote for The Nerd because they actually like him and want to see him compete. You saw how hard he swept Barred from King /v/.

AVGN being an ACT doesn't change the fact that AVGN is just James. If you choose to disregard this and pretend James Rolfe doesn't exist when talking about AVGN, then you are left the character of the Nerd... who is still not vidya. It's a character for a fucking YouTube skit that is primarily known (and only cared for) YouTube videos, the Nerd is just a YOUTUBER. The only difference between AVGN and any Youtuber that has and is in a video game, like Vinny, is that James SAYS the Nerd is an act. That's it. They're the same thing, people heavily related with video games that got popular enough to have video games of themselves, which isn't enough to be considered vidya as neither were made as video game characters to begin with. They're real dudes, one acts in front of the camera and the other doesn't.

You don't have to start busting that out when it's just a debate about eligibility. The fact of the matter is that /v/ voted to whitelist him because they decided his old videos were /v/core enough to warrant it. If we really were voting picks based on the current status of their series, almost every /v/ elite eight ever would be shit and finished. Much could be said about the current state of Deus Ex, or NMH, or Metroid, or Megaman, but people still enjoyed them when they were still good and remember them for that.

Also consider that he's only ever gotten past r1 once and it was against another r1 jobber. Unless you happen to be a big Spamton fan I don't get the hostility like he's knocking down all of your mains. Even if you hate the premise of a whitelist to begin with, you really don't need to get this heated when he's one bad qualifier round away from fading into obscurity like Tony Hawk and Mike Tyson.

I don't think /dbg/ can really do anything to shit up King and Queen, the worst they did last year was brigading the qualifiers polls to get Kratos to qualify, but even didn't stop him from jobbing round 1, so basically all they did was create the Bazz of King /v/. There are a bunch of /sthg/ posters in there too but honestly Sonic (the character) is always going to job regardless and I don't think they care about Metal or Eggman enough to latch onto them.
If they do ever screw over a tournament it'd be an /a/ tournament since most of their big funpost targets right now are popular shonen series like JJK, CSM, MHA, etc but since we don't have an /a/ tournament and probably never will at this rate I doubt it'll be an issue

Despite her winning Queen I still see Etna in more places. Tron's hot but Idk man her stomping Roll and beating the big sexy campaigner pick in the final round doesn't feel right to me. It's like if Amaterasu beat Curly. Realistically we knew that wouldn't happen but it wouldn't have been as bad as the timeline of Jack Frost beating Garland so there's still something decent to gain from it. I can at least say both MML and Disgaea have been cult classic /v/ games for the longest time but I don't see Tron fitting in with Reimu, Madotsuki and the like.

To be fair Maya Fey has the alphabetical order boost in the qualifiers, it's the same reason Phoenix is always in the top 3 seeds. They're both from a very popular series granted, so even if they weren't at the top of the voting list they'd still consistently seed in the top 30, but being right there when voter attention span is at its highest basically guarantees Ace Attorney will always show up in the top 10 seeds.

Etna and Tron seem to be both beneficiaries of randomized but on sort of opposite ends. It gave Etna a huge boost at the start beating Bazz and then some powerhouses, and gave Tron a quiet glide with a bunch of easy opponents. Narrative (which /v/ loves) definitely favored and seemed to lead to Etna winning but Tron took it which might be the biggest wtf surprise moment in tourneys thus far.

Notably, Etna only started losing voters after her posters started going against bazzposters in the threads. Which is surprising since they were good sports to each other in round 1.

You'll notice Etna won round 1 at 838 - 478.
If just 10% of Bazz's voters voted for her in the final round (and as committed as they are to the meme, they would have) she would have stuck the landing.

Samus is still a very good character and I wouldn't have chosen any other inaugural Queen. But Prime 4 kind of ruined her streak. In an M/v/P context, you're probably going to see a lot of MacKenzieposting.

Prime 2 was alright but Prime 1 might be the most overrated game ever made. So damn boring, The bosses are bland sponges and Metroid isn't a scanning simulator.

"Adult Requests"? You're right, it's gone. I never used the board, but I did like the funny banner of Konata mashing the F5 key.
Give us /yiff/ or /fur/ already gookmoot, I tire of the AI and racebait spam in /trash/

4chan is never getting a furry baord m8. That's basically the function of /trash/. It's always been implicit policy/culture that they're hated.
