/tnt/ - Tournaments & Events

The Final Smash with all the other Mega Men is cool too.

>239140
>239141
Can you niggers fuck off?

>>239145
Does three players even have a host yet?

>>239153
It's a bit quiet but otherwise stable and running smoothly.

>239141
How come you don't do this bullshit in any of the /co/ side tournaments?

>>239153
Not much is really going on in that tournament, but it's a million times better than the poopy diaper that was /cov/ 2026.

>>239223
He's a better man than that.

>>239610
Except for the first point, wrong on all counts.

>>239610
Still not getting in.

>>239610
>got the biggest redemption arcs in gaming history since No Man's Sky.
How many redemption arcs are there in gaming?

>>239622
Depends on the number journos feel like throwing out.

>>239624
You know who truly needs a redemption arc.
>Blizzard
>EA
>Naughty Dog
>Ubisoft
There's probably more out there. Hopefully Game Freak gets a good redemption arc with the new IP they are making.
Also didn't Capcom also get a redemption arc?

>>239622
Cyberpunk, maybe?
>>239628
How do people feel about Konami nowadays? I remember the hate for them was particularly strong back in the 2010s.
>Hopefully Game Freak gets a good redemption arc with the new IP they are making.
Didn't they already try making non-Pokemon games that ended up sucking?
>Also didn't Capcom also get a redemption arc?
I wanna say that from the mid-2000s up until RE7 their reputation was in the gutter. I think people attributed it to Inafune and "appealing to eh West."

>>239610
>No one plays his game
Yep yep yep, nothingburger. Sorry Atari

>>239628
>>239630
Pokopia was kind of already that.

>>239628
>>239630
None of those got or deserve/need redemption arcs.

>>239628
>Naughty Dog
Beyond saving lmao.

>>239634
Outside Crash Bandicoot, it was never good. I actually don't know why /tnt/ is bringing up those specific companies come to think of it.

>>239630
Didn't most of the hate come from the fact that Konami fired Kojima and allegedly tried to blacklist him.
>>239628
Also you forgot Final Fantasy XIV.

>>239636
And Battlefront II

>>239635
Even Crash is overrated garbage.

>>239636
That's how I remembered it, but some of came from how they mishandled their legacy IPs.
>canceling Silent Hills despite how well received PT was
>Metal Gear Survive
>a shit ton of pachinko
And I think they were screwing with the development of MGSV, but I might be wrong on that part. After looking at the games I listed, it being mostly connected to Kojima might not be too far off.
>>239637
Did that game really "redeem" itself? After they revamped the progression system, I thought/hoped everyone moved on.

>>239638
The first game was good. But Spyro was the premiere PS1 platformer and Sly Cooper the premier PS2 platformer.

>>239639
Crapcom is still Crapcom even years later.

>>239638
>>239641
I thought Crash Bandicoot Warped was the best of the series.
>>239642
If we are talking about overpriced DLCs maybe, everything else seems fine. Hell we got them back to talking to and crossing with SNK.

>>239641
>Spyro
I agree that's better as far as PS1 goes, but imo Ape Escape is the standard on that console.

>>239643
Outside Monster World, RE and Street Fighter, they haven't done much of anything. I'm not even holding my breathe on their supposed revival plans.

>>239630
Not to mention Capcom's fighting game division around that time shitting the bed in succession after the fluke that was Street Fighter 4.

>>239645
Wasn't DMCV part of their Redemption Arc?
Devil May Cry 5: The Dante Dance

>>239647
And then the series went on hiatus immediately afterwards to the point they made a big deal about supposedly resurrecting it as part of their plan.

>>239646
Not like we got Darkstalkers back and Street Fighter hasn't seen the best of days recently.

>>239610
Bubsy is a lock for Playboy now!

>>239650
>Beerus is off E8 break

lmao

>>239649

>>239643
>SNK
Speaking of companies that could use a redemption. I hear that CotW was received decently but the game itself sold miserably.

>>239653
>redemption
More punishment you mean.

>>239628
>Blizzard
There's nothing Blizzard can do to save their asses, they died and now they are dragging Microsoft with them.
>EA
I still question how the fuck they are still alive but at least for the most part they are anti-ai.
>Naughty Dog
As this anon said >>239634 beyond saving. Niel Cuckman killed them all.
>Ubisoft
The fuck did Ubisoft do?

>>239655
>the scummy corporation is alright because…they're anti ai

>>239655
Naughty Dog and Blizzard are still alive and can turn it around with one trick.

>>239657
Firing Niel Cuckman?

>>239655
>>Ubisoft
>The fuck did Ubisoft do?
Are you for real? Do you not remember when they would make yearly AssCreed games that came out mediocre at best and buggy messes at worst? How all their Far Cry games were just derivatives of 3? How their "quadruple-A" pirate game crashed and burned? Assassin's Creed: Black Man in Japan and all the shit that brought? And that's just the crap I can remember. The Siege hack that gave the players billions of in-game currency earlier this year felt like nothing short of karmic justice.

Ubisoft hasn't treated Rayman well.

>>239660
>karmic justice
There should be karma for still playing Siege in present day.

>>239610
Bubsy sweep? Basically guaranteed.

>>239663
Oh shit can Bubsy go for /co/?

>>239664
Maybe

>>239659
No…

I think the protagonist from stupid never dies is going to qualify.

>>239668
Dazaibros, here's how we can win this year!

>>239668
It's supposed to release this year, so we'll have to see if it comes out soon enough to avoid the FOTM range. Even then, it may depend on how well received the game is on /v/. It looks decent, and I wonder if anyone who's working on the game used to work for Grasshopper.

>>239651
I hope him and Fox go nuts again, that was great.
Fox has the Galaxy movie and Beerus is going to have the BOG remake.
Weird that both of them have their introduction story remade a pointlessly large amount of times.

>>239630
>Cyberpunk, maybe?
lol no

>>239679
I remember when Little town hero was supposed to be their saving grace.
And then it got lower ratings than some famicom shovelware, it was bad on OBSCENE levels.

>>239657
Blizzard had their chance with WC3 Reforged. Unfortunately, you know what happened.

>>239673
It's going to be a roguelike so it's a 50/50

>>239674
>FOTM movie boosts are suddenly okay now

>>239679
>>239681
Better to stick with Pokopia

>>239654
Didn't they use AI for their ads?

>>239702
Unfortunately, yes. I suspect that was the doing of the Saudi fuck who owns them. Though, Ronaldo and not Maximilan Dood being in Fatal Fury was definitely because of him.

>>239645
Did Pragmata do well?

>>239702
>>239703
They would have done so without the Saudi fuck.

I think that's supposed to be the point.

>>239834
Y-yeah...

>>239834
Shadow would've been better received as a playboy winner than he was as a king winner, just sayin'.

>>239876
Could Shadow get people to like him if he whored himself out on playboy?

>>239834

>>239882
Maybe he could

>>239882
He might've gotten /tnt/ to like him a lot more at least.

>Shadow might have been a /tnt/ favorite all along

I'm replaying through FFVI right now, it reminded me of how disappointing it is that none of the playable characters ever do well in anything.

https://boards.4chan.org/v/thread/739793220/mina-the-hollower-waiting-thread-2#p739800006
Very interesting post.

>>240133
You want to fuck the mouse don't you anon?

I personally can't wait for Mina to be the next Hornet and job in round 1.

>>240139
Wouldn't be as funny tbh
>>240140
This on the other hand

>>240133
Half the people are calling it a failure and shit when they aren't begging for mouse sex

>>240111
At least Kefka qualifies even if he's a perma round 1 jobber, and yeah I know you specified playable characters but actually qualifying is still more can be said for most non-VII Final Fantasy characters

>>240148
I specified playable because I would rather have any of them over Kefka, they're all better and more interesting characters than the evil clown man that is evil.

Maybe the FFVI characters just need one good campaign.

>>240139
Which Mina are we talking about? Mina Ha, Minä or another Mina?

>>240153
Considering Cyan got so little votes that one time he got in Bottom, I don't think a campaign is going to be enough.

>>240152
You never know what to expect when checking this board, such as finding someone who likes everyone in the VI ensemble but NOT Kefka.

>>240160
Oh, don't get me wrong, I like Kefka, he's just not the best FFVI character by a long shot.

>>240153
you VILL accept garland as your only final fantasy winner

>>240165
Never

Garland is a great king and I'm tired of people thinking otherwise.

>>240193
Better than the recent winners for sure

>>240193
In bizarro world

Garland is mid.

>>240193
He's the worst one.

>>240203
But enough about Batter

>>240213
That's the second worst.

>>240220
I would like that but what are his chances realistically?

>>240222
Decent actually.

>>240193
He's the biggest disconnect between /tnt/ and core /v/.

>>240309
You can tell since no one in core /v/ would be caught dead playing FFVI

>>240220
>Raiden? Winning soon.
I have Metal Gear E8 fatigue even more then Spunchbob E8 fatigue, so I'm expecting both of them to get at least top 4

>>240347
>so I'm expecting both of them to get at least top 4
Don't you mean to say "at best"?

>>240357
Nothing, he's the best king we've had yet.

>>240357
Probably a Wariofag.

>>240347
>Spunchbob
Is that his German counterpart?

>>240357
NTA but he had a boring as fuck and OOC campaign compared to Wario's.

>>240367
you're retarded and probably trolling

>>240368
I'm not even trolling tho. Scout's campaign is just better man posting and breast expansion fetish shit.

>>240367
>>240369
He raises a good point, especially if we're comparing him to Garland

>>240372
>not even Wario will accept disrespect to his opponent
Wariobros...what now?

>>240373
Meh, we have other winners to choose from.

>>240309
Garland was arguably the beginning of /tnt/ splitting since it was the earliest meta argument here, and earliest example of popularity vs. campaigner merit arguments that i'm aware of.

Armstrong and Garland are the same king wise.

>>240378
I think Armstrong's always gotten the benefit of being the inaugural winner so no meta baggage or established tourneyfag idea of how a winner should win is applied to him.

>>240371
No he doesn't lol.

>>240378
Armstrong is lacking in comparison

I just think most kings are fitting for /v/ considering the shit posting and memes and thread presence. If we voted on these merits though we'd have some kings that /tnt/ would hate.

Dante > Scout > Garland > Armstrong > Shadow >>> Batter >>> Grimm >>>>> whoever (You) want to be king this year

>>240392
Switch Shadow with Scout and this sounds accurate.

>>240393
I see a lot more tf2 threads than Shadow related threads, and if it comes down to having to choose which autistic fanbase is worse I'm choosing Sonic's

>>240394
Okay but TF2 is legitimately way more autistic

>>240391
>shit posting and memes and thread presence
What about the actual character.

>>240395
sonic has chris chan

>>240396
What about them?

>>240396
Of course character also matters but the other three matter more if you want an actual /v/ king

>>240395
Nah.

>>240394
>>240395
TF2's community legitimately has a pedophile problem.

>>240401
i mean yeah
but then sonic and tf2 are still at a tie

>>240403
Sonic doesn't have pedophile fans

>>240404

>>240437

This one is just a plain good pick.

>>240430
>lot of pityvotes this year)
Well that but mainly cause he's legit the strongest non-winner in King and would've won twice over by now had he not been stymied by some surprise seasonal hype pick. He'd be pretty fitting considering it's the m/v/p year too though and it'd finally give King a former runner-up winner (it's the only tourney that hasn't had one).
>>240437
>>240440
Yeah I don't think anyone would be dissatisfied with Leon.

>>240437

>>240456

MafiaGAWDS

>>240460
Post your main

>>240459
>>240460
>>240479
Combine Officer is more soulful than most of the /tnt/ approved king picks.

>>240456
Grand Dad gets spitevoted by most people, so you don't have to worry about him winning. Bootlegs need to be banned tbh.

>>240482
the only people who actually unironically push for grand dad to be banned are people that don't want free fodder for their pick for some reason or picks that couldn't qualify

>>240642
if there were better picks they would push him out of the bracket altogether

>>240644
Why not let the Grox get in the bracket? Fuck, even Bubsy would be a better meme pick than him.

>>240645
better stop sleeping on qualifier campaigning

>>240644
Who gets in the bracket is based on popularity and meme funnay.

>>240648
Granddad would still win.

>>240656
>dude let's bring back the whitelist
all this because you want a free win

>>240656
I still think this was bullshit. A GC is a GC, you can't say it's only a half.

What we think of Queen though? That's actually the more intriguing tourney to me this year.

>>240675
To answer the questions asked earlier but for Queen:
>want to win
Someone from Persona or fighting games
>don't want to win
Your favorite
>honestly believe is going to win this year
It's hard to even guess since there doesn't seem to be any "heavy-hitters" going into this year, like Pomni is (was) for Ms. /co/. Even if there was, Queen isn't really affected by recent releases to the same extent that King is. I think the last time a new game actually got someone far in the tournament was 2022 with Ashley and Ranni.
>think it would be funny if she won this year
A FF7 girl who isn't Tifa.

>>240407
>>240675
>Felicia
>Hex(fag) Maniac
>Tifa or Hornet
>Miku

>>240675
I don't think there's any powerhouses left that are that interesting. All the good picks will be wiped out by the coom ones by round 4.

>>240680
What does coom ones mean in this case

>>240685
Something like Shantae who has one good game (pirate's curse) but none of her voters have played any of them.
Even with Palutena her fans will at least roleplay and talk about her game.

>>240407
I have very little opinion on things but I'm more curious if Illidan could qualify since Arthas somehow succeeded, albeit with a low seed.

>>240680
Queen must be the major tourney that inspires the least amount of enthusiasm despite getting the most votes. None of its powerhouses have seemed to ever interest /tnt/.

>>240756
The loli characters are more coom picks than stuff like Palutena, Shantae, etc.

>>240763
Well sure, but most of them job before round 2 so it's a non factor. And the ones that do get far either have massive baggage or have arguments surrounding their depicted age like Mado and Etna.
Either way it's not really them that sweeps most of the bracket so it's not really the problem I'm referring to.

I think Queen gets shafted so much in discussion and hype cause it's for the most part a straightforward attractive moe-ish girl tournament, which is about as far from the usual tourneyfag autists sensibilities and funposting as it gets.

>>240641
Now this is a joke pick I can actually accept. He's funny and has someone who campaigns for him, unlike meme garbage that only gets in because they were relevant at the time (Chicken Jockey) or le silly game title (Grand Dad and Transfer Student).

>>240769
>attractive women are a apparently a problem in queen
>>240770
You know, I never actually heard what the ideal queen winner is despite this board constantly poopooing every other pick.

>>240786
>>attractive women are a apparently a problem in queen
StrawmanRETARD...

>>240816
When you call them boring coomer picks, it's not a strawman, you’re just a retard.

>>240818
A pick can be attractive without being boring. You just took what I said as an attack towards your main.

>>240820
Bold of you to assume those were my mains.
>A pick can be attractive with being boring
And how is Shantae boring? No one on /v/ would call that a boring pick in a female tournament.

>>240821
>No one on /v/ would call that a boring pick in a female tournament.
Yes, that's exactly what I said? Otherwise them sweeping the bracket wouldn't be a problem, naturally.

Still waiting on those "interesting picks" that are supposedly screwed over by coom.

>>240826
So why are you making it a problem? How are Shantae and Palutena boring?

>>240828
Now I know you're just skimming over my posts and assuming the worst about me. I already said Palutena has more qualities to her than her porn, as other KIU fans will be more than happy to tell you. Which is why she isn't boring like Shantae. Again, I insist that "Palutena isn't boring" in case you want to paraphrase in the future.

Shantae's games are mainly just "okay" at best, and if you ask a Shantae voter what their favorite game from her series is, their answer will be a resounding "uhhhhhhh"
There just isn't much to say about her. Even Rottytops has more of a personality.

>>240836
>says someone is skimming their posts
>makes wide reaching strawman about a character's supporters
…

>the voters don't actually play their games
This is what was said about Roll for years and it was shown to be wrong. Why always jump to the immediate cynical assumption that an attractive female character only does good due to non-player gooners?

>>240839
You see it's okay when OTHER people assume the worst about other people.

>>240840
There's all sorts of retarded tourney arguments, but I do see this one brought up a lot over the years to disparage the dominant characters in Queen. Seems to be a Queen specific thing too cause you don't have nearly that kind of antipathy about porn popular character powerhouses in Ms. /co/.

>>240845
>this same argument used to shit on 2B
I'm noticing.

>>240839
>This is what was said about Roll for years and it was shown to be wrong.
No it wasn't lol.

>>240853
Turtlefag got cooked and eaten.

>>240850
Even if I told you I believe 2B's a victim of her own fanbase and actually is an interesting character you wouldn't believe me. And I do think that.
In fact, a lot of stoic characters like her are misunderstood and misinterpreted as flat, boring characters when they're actually a lot more complex. Seriously, a character being sexually attractive and not one-note aren't two mutually exclusive things.

>>240856
I don't disbelieve you at all. I've been the one poking wholes at this boring coomer pick argument all thread.

>>240845
This feels like moving the goalpost from what goes on in the tournaments to "Look at what they're doing in another thread!" Again, just like what happened after 2B beat Hornet.

>an NPC character class managed to get 3rd place using off model big booby fanart
You're all attacking the wrong characters.

>>240856
This. 2B's been one of the most unfairly looked at characters in tourneys. The whole Hornet thing doesn't help.

>>240862
Hexo Sexo being a shitty powerhouse is just a given. In that case the critique it's arguably not even about the coom, but because it's the drawfag tranny's headcanon version of her getting her the wins.

>>240862
Spot on example of what I'm trying to make a point about but I'm not trying to set the thread on fire by mentioning it directly.

>>240861
You can't just say "must have been the wind" when anyone can see consistent behavior in the threads.
And what happened after 2B beat Hornet was falseflaggers spamming the threads. Not really comparable.

>>240854
No. Turtlegod WON.

>>240868
Okay so should we judge a character by their supporters in the tournament or other threads. I'm not sure what you're getting at by bringing up Shantae threads in general.

>>240856
>>240860
>>240861
>>240863
>>240868
I like how we can shit on boring coom picks except for the pet coom picks /tnt/ likes for whatever reason. If she was so interesting, her campaign would reflect that.

>>240873
I'm just going to ask you if you think Shantae voters spawned out of thin air just for the tournaments, then just decided to never post in Shantae threads ever, and then wait for your answer.

>>240845
>>240868
>>240875
This is such faggy argument because you're shitting on Shantae's supporters because they hornypost, as if they're the only ones who have ever done this.

>>240875
I'm not even following what you're trying to argue.

>>240876
I gave you plenty of examples of hornyposters that I have no problems with. Hornyposting isn't even the issue.

>>240877
There's overlap between Shantae thread posters and Shantae voters.

>>240878
>I gave you plenty of examples of hornyposters that I have no problems with. Hornyposting isn't even the issue.
Quite frankly it comes off as hypocrisy since you like those particular characters so they don't count.

>>240878
>There's overlap between Shantae thread posters and Shantae voters
No matter how many times you cry about it, people being horny for Shantae doesn't mean they don't play her games. Again, you tried this with Roll and were proven wrong.

>>240879
Palutena and 2B just have better games and better character arcs. Shantae, cute and heroic as she is, doesn't have much to speak of in that department. I'm not even saying Shantae is a bad character, she's just not Queen winner material.

>>240881
I wasn't even talking about Roll. She's never beaten any characters worth mentioning other than Tifa or Fio so she's not even part of the problem I'm talking about.

>>240887
Shantae hasn't beaten anyone worth mentioning either. Unless you think Miss Pauling or Ebony and Ivory deserved higher billing, I'm not sure what problem you're talking about.

>>240887
>She's never beaten any characters worth mentioning other than Tifa or Fio
Ayla? Alice? Shantae? Miku? Her whole run last year which were facing all E8's? Crazy how much people here undersell her.

>>240887
What character arc did Palutena have?

This really does come off as trying to shit on a powerhouse to prop up their usual mid carders and round one shitters. Puts the whole "interesting picks" remark into perspective.

GLaDOS was sort of a notable win.

Well yeah but that was one time and GLaDOS only ever loses to heavy hitters so it's not like she suffers in the tourney. I'm truly not seeing what problem there is as it's being spoken about.

Apparently Shantae doesn't count because reasons. I do find it funny how the only one to ever break Shantae's perfect attendance was a 4x perfect attendee.

>>240893
Oh and fucking Madotsuki lol. Shantae beating her in the 1st round was the reason people thought Mado was shit and finished for a year.

Was Charles even in the game or is he just a funny commercial character

…Could you imagine if it turned out people were voting for a commercial this whole time rather than something in the game?

If it's that easy to get commercials in then I'm hoping for Cowboy Jed for King of /v/ this year.
