/tnt/ - Tournaments & Events

>>247244
/a/ tag team never

To whomever cares, it looks like the English Mr. Freeman channel is finally going to dub the remaining Russian videos from before Frenki left. Mr Freeman, part 08

>>247246
What about Frankie?

>>247271
Haven't seen her posted much outside /co/ or /aco/ personally.

This felt like the year tourneys were supposed to scale back but instead we got alt timelined with a bunch of awkwardly forced niche within a niche tourneys.

>>247254
Who Cares Higher Quality

Can we close /tnt/ for a year? Just a year

>>247659
"/tnt/ darling" came about as a term for characters that are particularly appreciated by the crowd here and tend to do exceptionally well during the secondary tournaments while not necessarily being very noteworthy in the main board. Erika Furudo, for example, has made top 8 three times (including being the runner-up in Villains of /v/ and /cov/ 2024), but as of 2026 she hasn't qualified for a single Queen of /v/ edition.

Conversely, a lot of people apply it to just about any character that is perceived as a sacred cow and treated beyond criticism when involved in some controversy, especially if they a have prominent fanbase here.

>>247659
It was a term that originated in 2023-2024 to refer to characters that consistently do really well in the small side tournaments and at the same time struggle to even qualify for the main ones. Characters that have been considered /tnt/ darlings in those years include:
>Loona
>Mrs Brisby
>Ruber and John Silver
>Mao Mao and Morgana
>Erika Furudo
>Matias Torres
>Little Mac

Tbqh this term isn't very relevant these days. The campaigners for most of these characters have retired or moved on, and I struggle to think who could be considered a "darling" these days. Maybe Miko and Grox, but it's not on the same level as the Plunderers back in the day. The other thing is that /tnt/ has kinda gone to shit since then and most side tourneys this year feel too forced and inorganic to single out darlings.

>>247662
>Miko
By those metrics, she is one. She struggled to qualify half the time and when she does she's a quick round 1-2 out, not to mention her supporters crashing the loli contest once she lost.

>>247661
>>247662
Thanks for the replies. However, I do see some people use the term for certain characters to stir up drama or misuse it, even if the character struggles in any of the /tnt/ side tournaments.
Playgirl and Playboy don't count. Those are tournaments hosted on /trash/.

>>247662
I would definitely say Sticks from Sonic who makes E8 every tournament she is in

>>247664
The original meaning just doesn't carry as much relevance nowadays, so most instances of it are either baiting and/or accusing the site of favoritism.

>>247662
I think Ben Tennyson counts as one now since he got 4th place in the team tournaments but struggles in the main tournament

>>247659
>>247661
>>247662
>>247663
>>247664
>>247665
>>247666
>>247668
Truthfully, it feels like some term indsutrycuck started pushing precisely to start shit.

>>247662
Geralt was another one. Miko and IDW Sonic/Sticks are probably the best examples now.
The term actually sorta started in 2023 with plunderers and others being called golden boys and it evolved out of there. It probably can warrant a wiki listing.

>>247665
But Sticks reached Round 4 on Ms. /co/ last year

>>247663
Is that why so many people bet on her in Round 1 during the charity betting thing Psyanon was doing only for her to lose to Creepy Susie in the single biggest upset of the betting circuit?

>>247675
There's a betting circuit? And there's upsets there?

>>247664
>Playgirl and Playboy don't count
Those tourneys have always felt huge /tnt/lite.

not this upset shit again

/mlp/ is the actual weirdo. It isn’t /tnt/ influenced and is comparable in size to Mr. /co/, but isn’t usually considered a major tournament

>>247680
You are just trying to confirmation bias it
They are definitely mostly of the interest of the actual board like with the fatfag spam that pissed off /tnt/

>>247683
The fatfaggotry shouldn't have caused so much controversy or surprise in the first place. It's obvious /tnt/ at least has a big relation with the /trash/ tourneys and wank it off way more than any other non-major event.

>>247684
The blacked and scat faggotry shouldn't have caused controversy either tbh

>>247683
In an interesting turn of events, /tnt/ would have fatfags in its own ranks, making the backlash weirder

>>247670
Shut the fuck up industrycuck.

>>247688
>immediately throws out industrycuck accusations as a response
Sounds like a hit dog hollering

>>247690
NTA but the term was created around three years ago and has little if nothing to do with IC. What we do suspect is that IC is trying to run it into the ground.

>>247684
It happened that way because the lard wave made Frankie win by 1 vote in All-Stars

>>247696
That was some bullshit that doesn't get called out enough

>>247694
Considering he showed up around three years ago and is now running it into the ground, there seems to be some kind of connection.

To be fair Jenny also had an /aco/ thread active and helping her, a Robo general rather than a fat thread.

It’s just the fat thread rolled the crazy digits

>>247701
So /co/ also lets gets influence their tournaments…

Raven should have won all-stars. She didn't have generals going to bat for her.

The porn board buffs are overstated.

>>247703
Raven, Jenny, and Frankie were all decided by one or two vote margins and are basically a three way tie for “Great winners” . Then Betty and Mrs. Monarch are basically tied for “Good winners”, Fang is “Ok winner”, and then way way below them are Spinel and Wuya both “bad winners”

>>247706
>Fang is “Ok winner”
More like split even winner. Seems like she's been a case of either you love or hate her.

>>247694
>>247699
I haven't even seen the term applied this year outside of Miko. In fact i kind of suspected it's a butthurt Mikofag pushing the theory since the moment she started getting a bunch of flak with it suddenly darling is an ICuck term and ICuck hates Miko.

>>247707
>Seems like she's been a case of either you love or hate her.
And for me, I REALLY love her! BOIOIOING!!!!!!

>>247710
Beavis…

>>247708
>I haven't even seen the term applied this year outside of Miko.
I have seen one or two people call Klonoa a "/tnt/ darling."

>>247770
THE most COMPETENT host on /tnt/

>>247662
>Little Mac
Waluigi and Glamgals (specifically Roxanne) are way better co-op examples tbdesu.

>Neo is the new Temp
>Gabe is the new Numnuts

>>247773
>THE most COMPETENT host on /tnt/
Well yeah, because he is the only host on /tnt/
The regulars are not hosting here anymore and everyone else would rather troll and make /dbg/ circlejerk posts then host things

>>247290
I think a big and unsolveable problem is anyone can basically do whatever they want as far as making a tourney, regardless of what anyone says or if it's contextually timed well or actually worth doing. And then naturally there will be always some traction and acknowledgment (wiki playing a big role). The world cup /co/ thing was one of the most forced and least hype strange tourneys ever but it still got something going and major wiki acknowledgement. It's always been an implicit potential problem but 2025 onward we now have plenty of examples of new hosts (troll or not) just saying fuck it to everything.

>>247786
Where does animalfucker fit in here?

>>247881
/tnt/ got too well known and it doesn't have the silent majority power to smother out nonsense the way the actual site does so we now have the worst of both w worlds

We need to move as many tournaments as we can to the main board

>>247921
That's how you get tournaments as a whole banned.

>>247948
Literally nothing happened with world /co/p. This is just paranoia to keep everything on /tnt/.

>>247921
This feels like a psyop

>>247952
If anything, the sudden desire to keep tag team away from the main board feels more like a psyop.

Cant we all agree Gabe should suck a

>>247958
Suck a what? Suck a what? Anon? Anon!!!

>>247921
This, I'm having withdrawals from not being able to post about futas and cucking

>>247960
Gabe took him out like Oliver Tree

>>247964
We don't need to hear about your fetishes.

>>247964
Those aren't even the popular fetishes here.
This is a furry board

>>247968
>This is a furry board
Just so you know, I've banned people before for excessive furry posting.

My predictions the last two years have come true for Ms. /co/ (Frankie and Raven) so I'm going for gold.
>Pomni will win 2026 by a narrow margin and it will be very controversial
>Toph will win in 2027 as people want a safer pick in reaction to Pomni

>>247972
Here's my going for the gold guess
>The paranoia over Pomni winning leads to a repeat of ms. /co/ 2021, resulting in a dark horse pick no one expects

>>247973
Might go forward and say the dark horse pick in question is Minnie Mouse

>>247977
Then they'll just try to have Ragatha win as revenge and that will be even worse.

>>247978
The /co/ Circus fandumb won't exist by 2027.

>>247979
>fandumb
Twitter talk

>>247981
It's where you should go back, yeah.

>>247982
>uses Twitter lingo
>proceeds to tell others to go back
Nerve struck

>the anti circus/glitch fag is here
/tnt/ really is going downhill

>>247979
That’s what this board said when the finale came out and it’s still dominating the board along with /dbg/.

>>247985
Well, it isn't even 2027 yet.

>>247986
And when that doesn’t happen /tnt/ will say 2028 and if they haven’t moved on to hating whatever else glitch produces. It’s predictable.

>>247988
>"There's no way that's not an edit-"
>it's real
>and apparently Futurama just made Leela into fatties
oy vey

None of this matters. i wanna rub my crotch against zooble's featureless butt

>>247982
Hit dog status: HOLLERING

>>247993
Surely, anon is just yanking my chain because "fandumb" is an easy portmanteau I came up with on the spot.

>>247978
So...Improvement?

>>247995
Is it? I've heard mixed views.

>>247994
Suuuuuuuure

So
>What are the names of the furry and non-furry porn tournaments gonna be?
>Is Tyr'anhee the only canon winner of the latter? (I know there was some argument about Zone and some other argument about which Rouge should be on)
>Are they gonna try to go to /aco/ or stick to /trash/?

>>248015
Zone's tournament is very very non-canon we settled this months ago and frankly I hate the fact it was brought up at all because it contributed to the /cov/ drama. As for Rouge, we never really made up our minds, the arguments were-
>She's a furry
>Her tournament wasn't entirely done on /aco/ proper
for her being the inaugural furry winner and-
>Her tournament started on /aco/
>The Vivzie fans would vastly prefer Loona be the inaugural winner for the furry tournament
the argument against

>>248016
The Vivzie fans also voted 70-30 to make Charlie an official /cov/ winner and look how that turned out

>>248017
Wasn't that rigged? I'm pretty sure everyone on /tnt/ was against that shit.
There were so much better /co/ characters to pair Doomguy with than Charlie fucking Morningstar.

>>248020
Then why didn't they? We had Hulk and Doomguy last /cov/ so if there were better options, they would have come up.

>>248023
Fuck, we could've had Spawn as a better choice for Doomguy.

>>248024
You all had three separate chances, no use regretting it now.

Charlie and Doomguy are based and crackship pilled. But they didn't need that stupid canonization vote and that almost felt like Neo was purposely trying to cause a ruckus.

I just realized Conor McGregor is the Hornet of irl fight autism.

>>248026
>they didn't need that stupid canonization vote
Or that retarded and very out of character fat fetish "campaign."

>>248026
Reads to me as people pleasing as a new host to try to avoid trouble, Vivzie fans were getting uppity and blaming metafagging for their loss and throwing a tantrum

>>248154
But there were people bringing up the temp attempt out of nowhere and claiming that was the reason they didn't vote for them so it's unfair to claim they're throwing a tantrum and lead to that vote. If anything they were more pissed about the fat shit.

>>248152
Should have had an actual campaign then.

>>248154
The people-pleasing part sounds right, but are we sure the backlash wasn't just one of our handful of trolls trying to cause a stir?

>>248180
Neo kept trying to pander to the thread(kicking out Nixie, letting Charlie/Doomguy go to vote as winners) until it finally backfired on him enough times to dig in with his finale ruling.
>are we sure the backlash wasn't just one of our handful of trolls trying to cause a stir?
When he did finally dig in and stop listening to the thread it pissed the thread off so much that after a couple hours of tossing ideas around people decided to memoryhole the whole thing. So it was real, the backlash did happen the one time he didn't listen

Neo is just a very sketchy guy in general.

>>248314
People also thought for sure he was Gabe at the time. If he had proven he wasn't maybe we wouldn't have had to get rid of /cov/

>>248324
The fact that he lied about not being familiar with tourneys before /tv/ is already suspect even without the Gabe connection.

>>248327
Only King hasn't had a former runner up win. Raiden or JC got a nice shot this year.

>>248330
Raiden would also break the same series curse while he's at it

>>248327
Eggman at least won Shitpost Showdown and he didn't slip all the way to R1

>>248322
>Neo is just a very sketchy guy in general.
What do you expect? This is the same guy who literally put a question asking people if they're fat fetishists or not in one of the voting forms for /cov/ 2026.

>>248332
Yes, but at the same time he has a far worse reputation than anyone in the E8 tier proper.

>>248337
Does he? It seems like the "bad reputation" is a status forced on him.

>>248338
It's not his fault, it's just something he's historically saddled with now.

But remember, Banjo's jobbing days are over thanks to co-op.

>>248346
I blame everything getting out of control in 2025.

>>248376
More delusion /tnt/ pushes after the split.

>>248376
>for Cheesecake
Lol, Lmfao even

>>248376
>Cheesecake
This has gotta be the most disproportionately talked about nonentity tier character in tourneys.

>>248376
>Fio and May
Also Splash Woman.

>>248402
She didn’t make E8, I think

>>248397
>>248399
If you think about it, she's kind of strong

>>248404
Indeed, Round 4.

>>248409
She’ll never qualify and if she does I’ll eat my hat. Only /trash/ old fags like her and she was on the weaker side of the fatty adjacent candidates in Playgirl. It was the ongoing fat comics that did the best.

>>248402
She somehow became a /v/ fat thread mascot years ago and I have no clue how

>>248409
PUNCHING

WEIGHT

>>248428
She has a presence despite not even qualifying. That indicates a certain strength.

>>248429
>Not qualifying is strong now
How does the cope keep getting worse?

>>248430
It's not always about qualifying, presence and impact is a factor to consider

All I'm seeing is a bunch of Temp gobbledygook.

Cheesecake was literally a big factor in Frankie winning.

Isn’t Playgirl the furry one now

>>248433
Not in Ms. /co/, you’re thinking of All Stars where the fatfag quints won it
>>248436
Ask the pickle man

>If you think about it, she's kind of strong

>PUNCHING

>She has a presence despite not even qualifying. That indicates a certain strength.

>Cheesecake was literally a big factor in Frankie winning.

Ah boy, here we go

>>248438
In addition to that, the main Frankie campaigner who led her to victory was a Cheesecakefag. Basically, Frankie owes a lot to Cheesecake.

>>248438
Stop disrespecting MechaDoomsday machine Dill Clynton

I just came back after 6 months, why the hell did we have so many tournaments this year and what happened to /cov/

>>248450
Gabe.
>/cov/
Thread anons were stupid and Neo was stupid and they made stupid babies in the closet and I saw one of the babies and it looked at me

>>248450
It's the successful tournament season people have been asking for.

>>248455
dear god

>>248450
>why the hell did we have so many tournaments this year
Some attention-seeking idiot proposing tournaments against most of the board's will.

>>248458
People have been asking for some of these for years so not against the will of the board

>>248459
>People (2 or 3 is plural)

>>248460
>trios and loli was just by three people now

It astounds me so many stupid ideas went through yet, something as simple as tag team for /a/ or /tv/ wasn't even seriously considered.

>>248457
there's more

>>248468
NO...

I think this is now becoming the worst year of tournaments. Started off good... I love the Konata win... but please... just give us main board tournaments. Fuck I'm probably going to skip Miss and just only go all in on Usagi for Mister.

>>248546
What's your two cents on Tag Team? The tournament in January voted 66-33 to move back to /co/ for the 8th tournament, but now people are getting iffy on the idea?

>>248547
Tag-Team was OK, I say this as a fan of Regular Show, but I barely participated.
Co-Op is currently still our best tournament this year.
Loli of /tnt/ being a close second (even with the bullshit)
/an/lympics is the worst main board tournament this year.
Trios of /co/ and /cov/ get the worst tournaments of the year in general, /cov/ getting an edge for being dead last.
Three player is fine.
Shota.... is just no fun at all.
I didn't even give a fuck about Miss World /co/p.

>>248547
Not Pencil Anon, I say we do it at least for one or two years, it was voted on and we don't want to establish a precedent of votes being meaningless. /cov/ was a freak exceptional case, but twice is a pattern, and we've been down that road with NSA. That said if things go wrong we move back in a year or two no question

>>248548
>/an/lympics is the worst main board tournament this year.
motherfucka this one isn't even happening

>>248551
And that's mostly due to a shitty (OP) who fucked it up so bad with nominations that it killed the tournament.

>>248550
That seems reasonable.

>>248550
>>248556
>he's same fagging
All this over wanting to get tag team back on /co/ because of the one year

Why are we asking what random namefags think about tourneys as if they have any power over it?

>>248578
I don't. Nor do I care to run a tourney. I don't want that stress on me.

>>248465
>Tag Team TV
It'd ether be CIA and Bane or Jesse Pinkman and Walter White, not much of a contest.

>>248581
I mean, the same could be said about trios and the winner being obvious yet we still had that.

>>248581
There's also George and Jerry and maybe Mulder and Scully. Doesn't feel as cut and dry as the other tourneys to completely shoot it down for that reason. Plus CIA might come off as a bit tainted.

I find it funny that despite supposedly being shopped around for so long, when trios finally did happen it ended up being polarizing.

>>248551
>>248554
Animalfucker will save the tournaments, trust the plan

>>248662
The fuck is his deal?

>>248678
IT’S FINALLY HAPPENING

>he's using strawpolls
ffs…

I'm starting to notice that these tournaments are sucking a lot more than usual.

>>248849
Nah you’re just getting disillusioned. They’ve been this bad for a while.

>>248850
We haven't had this many in a while

>>248853
Neo and Gabe at least listen to anons so yeah, big fucking stretch.

NSA was malicious in a way most of them weren’t.

>>248856
I can't think of why someone would consider them worse than that bitch.

>>248855
They don't have to deal with Water laws, doesn't count

>>248855
>>248856
>>248857
Trips on

>>248853
nahhhh

I'd rather have someone competent and malicious at the helm than an incompetent retard that means well.

>>248546
>I think this is now becoming the worst year of tournaments.
The year of tournaments hasn't even started, unless you think filler team tournaments participated in by the same dozen fags hold more weight than the main 4chan tournaments that represent the tastes of and are decided by hundreds of different anons from the board's general userbase
If the filler /tnt/ tourneys suck then come back for the main 4chan events that actually matter, not that the /tnt/ ones are inherently bad or anything but they're also pretty clearly just time killers for people to satiate their tourney addiction until the /co/ and /v/ tournaments start, and if they aren't fun then you're not missing anything of note by skipping them

>dipperfag shitting up the one vocal rematch in /an/
I hate that nigger

>>248869
Which rematch? The tournament as a whole isn't very vocal.

>>248884
It is ridiculous we have to self censor and not talk about tournaments in the tournament general because of one nutjob. Hell, it didn't even look like it was going to run.

>>248872
Rematch was a typo, just meant match
>>248885
>>248884
This is the bigger problem, this board is literally made for tournaments on 4chan. If we can't even link the threads here, as in fulfill half the purpose of this board, then what the fuck are we doing?

>>248886
Tbf, peaches already the vocal support and two of the amphibians just won. I don't think he's having any effect besides being a fucking nuisance.

>>248884
Can you please stop bringing that irrelevant retard up?

>>248890
I literally did not bring anybody up in particular

>>248890
Leave Shrek alone anon.

>>248890
But ENOUGH about Azula

>>248912
…'s jester Toph

>>248913
I forgot a comma between "jester" and "Toph" btw

>4chan dies in 2027 like that staff member predicted before the tourneys can start that year
I’d laugh

>>248916
>owns up to his minor grammar minor mistake
AzulaCHAD

>>248917
I mean, by that point /v/ would have already had m/v/p so it would just feel like a natural bookend.

I think the consensus was if it dies we finish up that years tournaments here and then call it quits, maybe afterwards try to get someone like Whang to cover it for the memories

>>248917
In a year, most boards will be down to 2006 levels of post rate (except half of them are AI generals so in reality it will feel a lot slower).

>>248917
4chan will permanently shut down on Thursday, September 9, 2027 at 8:10 pm EST immediately after /co/ lets Jessica Rabbit into E8

>>249009
Mighty Eagle just got another boost for Ko/v/.

Uh oh, Sunflowers got caught cheating

>>249011
I wonder if amphibians are getting rigged by you know who at this point

>>249013
I doubt it, their matchups have the same amount of votes as everybody else. 43 to 30 is insane, most matchups only have 28-36 votes total.

>>249015
Fair point. I can't believe sunflowers of all things is the center of a rigging scandal.

>>249016
/an/ can't catch a break

>>249015
There's a guy who likes to troll cat threads on 4chin (usually by bringing up toxoplasmosis and tranny puns), so that's my guess.

>>249021
The White Tigers match had the same amount of votes as everything else, Sunflowers vs Jef is the outlier

>>249022
I haven't seen him going after wildcats, to be honest.

>>249023
Nevermind, he's doing the >toxofag
shtick now so I guess he's either trolling or rigging, probably both

That's going up there with the water laws.

The anti cat/jef fag is still going.

yeah gonna be real this /an/lympics has probably been the best tourney so far in several months. Not better then Tag or co-op but mogging the hell out of everything inbetween

>>249132
Trip on animalfucker

>someone used poopdickschizo in the /an/
Fess up, which one of you was it?

Are people actually rooting for this tourney or is it ironic?

>>249175
I think it's a mix of the handful of people who defend /an/lympics and people just taking the piss.

They're literally fighting over cats and dogs over there

The host is an absolute faggot, but I've still been having fun.

>>249187
>people who defend /an/lympics
The fuck you mean by that?

>>249201
What "fun" is there to be had?

>>249201
The people, ie humans, who defend the tournament held on /an/.

>>249214
There's just been arguing over cats and dogs, no OC or campaigning and the host being retarded. I don't even think the natives enjoy this tournament.

>>249175
>autist can't understand enjoying a tournament he doesn't
Of course.

Think we can squeeze in one more tourney before ms. /co/?

>>249215
There have been some shitty spots, especially with the host, but I'd say it was completely worth it for the E8 lineup we ended up getting. Good shit

>>249219
>a shitty tournament is completely worth it for an E8 I like
Not even /v/ would think this way.

>>249220
This E8 isn't even that good. People just wanted birds out of the way.
