/tnt/ - Tournaments & Events

>jokes about Skeletor cucking the characters he beats like The Monarch, Marvin, and Farquaad have been going for awhile
>when he finally wins a tournament, he gets cucked by the runner-up
Kek.

>>64818
It’s like pottery, it rhymes.

>>64818
Bro didn't need to sperg out when the drawfag in question wasn't even sharing the magma board drawings in the thread.

>>64818
The Monarch chiming in towards the end to talk about how much he hates Zim and Skeletor was funny. I hope that anon comes back for Tag-Team and /cov/.

>>64823
He usually comes back for Tag-Team

>>64824
Also /co/ winners from highest seed to lowest seed
Spinel - 1
Fang - 1
Bravo - 4
Kronk - 5
Grievous - 16
Dr. Mrs. The Monarch - 21
Skeletor - 23
Wuya - 26
Betty Boop - 30
Jenny - 37
Tom - 46
Zorak - 81

Mean winning seed: 24

>>64824
Just two more years to get a character I care strongly about to win so I can make OC for an all-stars tournament.

>>64824
Dang I forgot how overwhelmingly strong Kronk was.

>>64824
What would be the best format for an all-stars tourney?
>one side male, one side female, strongest male and strongest female face-off in finals
>each starting match is a male vs. female
>randomized

>>64830
Leaning towards randomized.

recap anon shat his pants and got trapped and betrayed

>>64833
Recap anon FLED

Recap? more like nocap fr fr

Recap? More like he GOT CAPPED, he was a real one rip.

I noticed in the Afterparty threads people were posting runner-up rankings and every single time without fail Johanna was put at the bottom, often right next to Captain America and Shirley who were literally rigged. Now I'm not too familiar with her or her series but what do you think are the main factors that would've made her such a bad winner in the eyes of many? I mean she was only 10 votes away from being that year's Ms. /co/, it's worth considering.

>>64838
From what people have said, it's because she's the most generic MILF pick the crowd could have went with, to the point that she's not particularly attractive either due to being so bland.

>>64838
The 2021 spitevoting with Johanna and Hilda being accused of being tools of it

>>64838
Most anons not being familiar with her to begin with and beholding her entire run a fluke given the circumstances that led to Ms. /co/ having such mediocre results. Also having any notable qualities outside of being a milquetoast milf.
Now I’m not familiar with Hilda, but I’m like 99% certain she wouldn’t be so despised if she had made top 8 in a different year and under other circumstances, because if one thing’s true is that Johanna had a VERY dedicated campaign.

>>64841
Her and Hilda performing so terribly this year has made the claims of them being spite tools more plausible.

>>64824
>That Ms. /co/ lineup
Remember when people thought Ms. /co/ would cycle through all the major 2000s cartoon waifus that the board grew up with after Jenny? And then the 2nd cartoon winner from that era is from Xiaolin Showdown of all things lol.

Mr. /co/ is unsurprisingly a much bigger nostalgia-fest.

>>64829
I mean I would never vote against anyone from New Groove. It's still a great movie and the best post-Renaissance Disney movie. Hopefully Kuzco and Yzma can do well next year.

>>64838
hostile boopers

>>64830
Conceptually I like the idea of a round robin tournament. Everyone faces everyone else once. But it would take forever.

>>64844
>Mr. /co/ is unsurprisingly a much bigger nostalgia-fest.
Not a single 2010s character has ever made top 8 in Mr. /co/'s history

>>64850
No one DESU'S like Gaston desu!

>>64849
Lord Hater might have a shot provided he gets another strong push plus a lucky bracket, but he could also easily get voted out due to being DTVA, even if his show isn't apart of the newer DTVA shows that get constantly meme'd on.

>>64849
Okay, you know what, I was too harsh. There are at least a dozen franchise I think would be good in E8. Uncle Grandpa would be hilarious.
>>64852
Benson could make it.

>>64852
DTVA hate is slowly but surely wearing off, he'll make it far sooner or later.

>>64852
>>64854
DTVAfags only refer to Molly, Owl and Amphibia as DTVA. They didn't care for Pacifica, Dominator, Hater, or any other characters that also have been new or old DTVA. They just care about their three strooges.

>>64855
This.

What would even be the least contriversial 2010 winners for a male tournament? I can think of Regular Show, Smiling Friends, and Puss in Boots 2. I know there would be some stink over Gravity Falls and Black Hat would be the most likely Villainous character to take it home which would make a lot cry Gary Stu Tumblr Sexyman.

>>64855
And also always the same fucking characters of those three shows.

>>64859
Definitely Regular Show.

>>64849
The fact that Villainous and Smiling friends are the only 2020s shows putting up a fight nearly 4 years into the decade says more about the industry than the board desu. I see some people bringing up Regular Show and Adventure time, but they're not what I'd call recent at this point, and AT was a huge jobber until the Fionna spinoff game them a boost.

Remember the Bill Cipher drawfag and roleplayer? Where was he this year?

>>64859
Regular show for sure, second least controversial would be TLW.

>>64865
Bill didn’t qualify, did he?

>>64855
Then why not just rename their own team as MAO? (Molly, Amph, Owl)? That would make way more sense than tying the other tv shows to it.

>>64867
I think he participated in Qualifiers before and had Bill threaten to rape NightShift

>>64859
Besides those mentioned I don't think there'd be too much controversy over Wander Over Yonder, it's fairly well liked on /co/ if not especially popular. If only Hater got the same amount of support that Dominator got in Ms. /co/, but I guess the competition is just tighter.

>>64868
Or just drop the whole thing and vouch for their picks separately, Molly isn’t even tied to the other two outside of being from the same era.

>>64864
Adventure Time is a weird case where it feels like it COULD easily make Elite Eight with the right tools, but always falls out by the third round. Do feel bad for Simon's supporters this year. Could see some of them trying to come out of their shells, but the brapposter was a major distraction. Don't feel it was actually affecting votes directly, but can absolutely see how he still took attention away from genuine support.

>>64872
Same. I don't think I will vote Silver because of The Plunderers but rather because Zorak and Ruber finally got their time to shine as champion and runner-up respectively. Only Silver is alone now.

>>64874
What I mean is, I will vote Silver because I love the character and the movie, but not the Plunderers

>>64873
Simon and maybe Huntress Wizard are the only two I could see making it. I don't remember the last time Jake has qualified and Princess Bubblegum, Marceline, and Finn are never making it for obvious reasons.

>>64877
Jake qualified this year but lost round 1 iirc

>>64873
It's unfortunate but maybe it's for the best this wasn't his year, since he was already getting FotM accusations due to the recency of Fionna & Cake, kind of like how it's better Zim made it big this year rather than 2019 since that year his movie just released.
If it's any consolation I wasn't voting against him because of brapfag or whatever (i was barely paying attention to that) but because I was campaigning for Doof instead.

>>64877
Just checked. Jake was in this year. High seed too. I guess no one cared.

>>64859
I don't think people would make a stink about Ice King winning, despite the bizarre RP this year. The show went to shit but he himself is still fairly well liked. I'm drawing a blank on anyone else, but I know there are others, mostly from movies, like Rango, ParaNorman, HTTYD, etc.

So what exactly do you believe was the reason JJJ didn’t qualify? Some people mentioned he was separate from the other marvel characters and Balls did say some of his votes were lost.

>>64882
I fully believe the theory NightShift went too far throwing out votes and couldn't fix it.

>>64882
>what happened to JJJ's votes
I ate them

>>64861
>>64866
It helps as well that Regular Show has several contenders under its belt. Benson and Muscle Man are looking to be the most consistently promising right now. Gut tells me Pops could maybe pull out a surprise run, but he doesn't have the numbers to back that up right now. Feel Rigby and Skips would be harder to keep any real momentum, while Mordecai is presumably impossible.

>>64877
From what I've seen Marceline is usually agreed to be the better part of Bubbline both as a character and a partner, so I could see her edging into E8 one year. Winning? Yeah, probably not. Feel Simon is easily the best bet. People love the Ice King, people usually enjoy Simon's backstory, and there's actual campaign potential. Would say Jake is actually feasible if he got off his ass, but at the same time probably another E8 at best pick. Huntress is a favorite and surprisingly competent looking at her results this year (beat out Hilda, didn't get destroyed against Raven). Still feel the stars will have to align for her to win. Looking at it, those three are probably the only ones, but they're there.

>>64880
Feel Simon and Finn stuck out way more this year, and even then they weren't top campaigns.

>>64879
Yeah, I agree with this. I was one of the people who wanted him to do better this year well before F&C's release, but it would have tainted his success for some people similar to what happened with Dale.

On a side note, Doof is overdue for a second E8 run. He's always a strong contender, but keeps falling to other titans since he's been back on the bracket. It's way too early to say and anything can happen, but would not be surprised if we see a lot more returning characters in E8 next year than usual.

>>64881
Rango is absolutely a slept on choice. Shame he always seems to just be a quiet pick.

>>64886
He did have a drawfag last year, but it seems Rango fans have a preference for Rattlesnake Jake.

>>64888
You don't need your team to be labelled as DTVA, in fact that's the laziest and most uninspiring way of creating a team. Especially with larpers like the Annefag latching on Doof just because it sort of "benefit" them when the character isn't even from the same era and Scrooge McDuck also being there. I have a better proposition for you >>64872

>>64885
>would not be surprised if we see a lot more returning characters in E8 next year than usual.
I could see this happening, but who would have the best chances? Going off what I saw this year, there's Kuzco and Doof who both got decent support this year so I could see them making E8 again. A couple anons expressed interest in making a push for Shaggy, so he could also make it again seeing as he's always been a heavy hitter. JJJ will definitely make the bracket again after what happened this year, so another E8 for him wouldn't be surprising. There's also the 2022 Elite Eight coming back next year, so one of them up there again would be likely.

>>64889
You're probably taking this too seriously. If you want a real explanation there's an apparent loose strain of calartsy lore shows from Disney in the 2010's+ that got basically the same fanbases, creators, themes, styles ect. Then there's the meta that they are super popular on the board but get dunked on in the tourney's and seen as a heel by others. These groups sort of naturally come together, and there's probably more reason for an "alliance" there than something like the plunderers. But ultimately it's just fun tourney autism and a way to sort of create a distinction and talk-back amongst them. That's the way I see it at least.

>>64893
Honestly I've seen more support for the Plunderer's as a group than I have for DTVA despite them having less in common, I usually only see DTVA being mentioned as a punching bag.

>>64895
Also I'm fairly certain the DTVA thing didn't start with the actual posters but years back with others noticing stuff like the show grouping's popularity, thread presence, and relative failure. A loose history from my perspective:
>Jackiefag whores around amidst rp fest of Mr. 2020
>Amityfag latches on stalking cause autism/trolling
>goes on for a few years while people start pointing out "DTVA"
>Darcyfag and Libbyfag arrive at some point and Amity groups with them
>general "alliance" ensues that occasionally seems to pull in others
>>64895
I would say the general attitude towards the series's has probably helped solidify them as an "alliance."

>>64892
This is how I feel at a glance.

>Returning classics

>>64893
Doesn't change the fact the name of the group is misleading because it literally groups a number of other people with them when the more vocals about it are from the recent shows, that alone should indicate a new group name. Looks more like a desperate way of attempting to get a pity win from any other old or new Dtva character that doesn't affiliate with them.
>>64896
Naming them after that was retarded from the first place. Reasons like
>>64868 explained make sense considering the shows in question and some of the posters like Jackiefag have built a negative image on them

>>64898
As a SpongeBob main, I did at least enjoy the banter with Plastic Man's own supporters. That said, it's still a shame. I was really rooting for Doom in particular this year. Granted, he would have likely lost to Skeletor, but he could at least given more content and had a stronger path to an elite run next year.

>>64899
I dunno man. That's just how it worked out. I wouldn't worry about it dragging or propping anything up, cause it really hasn't. It's just kind of dicking around and I highly doubt anyone really cared about Annefag and Doof or whatever lol.

>>64824
Bros you told me no one actually liked fang how did she average almost 60%?

I know predictions pretty much always jinx themselves but:
>this year we had a surprise campaign surge character win ms. and a classic returner winning mr.
>next year we'll have a surprise campaign surge character win mr. and a classic returner winning ms.

>murder drones get destroyed round 1 in spite of a constant general and very vocal fanbase
Will digital circus suffer the same fate next year?

>>64904
>you told me no one actually liked fang
Maybe one butthurt asteriskfag.

>>64905
It's really hard to say how Mr. will go since we were coming off several surprise winners, but in Ms. I could absolutely see it. It's easily the most chaotic set of winners thus far, and with Toph and Raven both getting quite close this year the door's certainly open. Different tournaments, but I feel the opposite with King and Queen of /v/ next couple months: King has a lot going for a more classic pick, while Queen could really go either way.

I don’t dislike Wuya as a winner, but looking at the lineup of winning shows Xaolin Showdown sticks out like a sore thumb. Everything else in both mr and Ms are things /co/ really enjoyed, I haven’t seen anyone talk about showdown in like a year

>>64902
Doesn't mean it can work another way though, way more fitting than just labelling DTVA. That would be like just labelling a team of recent CN characters just Cartoon Network.

>>64906
I wonder if they'll fare better next time, they seem to have won over quite a few people in spite of their detractors.

>>64909
Tyr'ahnee and Chel have gotten a lot of attention in the last year, and while it could backfire on them cause spite or whatever if they get dedicated campaigns I think they could seriously win. Frankie too.

>>64910
Threads blew up after her win at least

>>64912
I think the newness and the unknown-ness definitely counted against them. It seemed like it was off the radar for people who weren't already into it, and seeing it qualify triggered some resistance to a potential upstart knocking out the characters people have already gotten invested in. It's kind of like how Ongezellig was last year, or was that 2 years ago? It seems to have at least a little staying power since the show had a rep requalify this year, even win a round, and I foresee at least the same for Murder Drones.

>>64910
I've seen XS discusses some, and Wuya's always been sort of popular. And like i said in another thread she's right in that sweet spot of being 2000's, being from a decent nostalgic show most have seen, both character and sex appeal, general inoffensiveness. She qualified every year and finally got a good starting bracket with the right push.
If there's an "odd one out" without context it's more Spinel or Betty.

I feel like Chel would be a weapon to surpass Fang if she just got a handful of actual campaigners and drawfags. She's coasted THREE times to E8 with total silence.

Wuya is pretty cool but I think her pair with Skeletor adds more extra charm to it given how XS and Masters of the Universe have witches and magic shit.

>>64917
Chelfags aren’t known for putting in effort, they’re honorary FARTS

>>64918
As much as I'm mixed about Fang winning I also think the same about Zorak winning and wanting to have his head eaten by her. Especially when one is the character that kickstarted adult swim and the other one from the network most recent show.

>>64917
Still shocked me how she beat Tyr'ahnee last year.

>>64922
I'm confident the rigging took away a lot of attention from that year. I hope we can finally get her and Daffy to win.

>>64924
To me it feels like some people were satisfied with her Ms. /aco/ win but seeing how well Hank did despite winning Heroes that doesn't seem to be the case.

I posted something similar in one of the Afterparty threads but here's what I think in regards to each of the 2022 E8's chances next year
>ENA
Her video game is going to be released soon enough to give her a popularity boost but not too soon to have an anti-FotM stigma attached, she'll need a really strong campaign to win but I can see her making E8 either way.
>Nani
I don't see her making the E8 again unless she gets insane bracket luck or a great campaign
>Tyr'ahnee
If I had to place my bets on which of the '22 returners has the best shot it's her, assuming she's not completely silent.
>Mrs. Brisby
No way in hell she wins but most anons consider her the most sympathetic rigged character of the Night of the Long Tails so I guess she's not completely doomed for E8.
>Nicole
Anti-rigger sentiment + MILFfags have had much less influence after 2021, round 2 fodder at best
>Shirley
lmao
>Chel
Essential silent majority-core, but >>64917 is right that she could potentially win the whole thing if she got any active supporters for once

>>64924
The general Top 4 was strange that year. I could absolutely buy Fang being Brisby despite both having strong campaigns, and while the thread favorite ENA was niche enough where a silent yet popular pick like Nicole winning wasn't out of the blue. Tyr'ahnee and Nani's losses were way more surprising.

>>64925
Most anons don’t care about that kinda shit. It’s only a small group of tismos (us) that care at all. Anyone who goes “we can’t have X win because Y won Z tourney!” is concern trolling and trying to get people like us to go against that character.

>>64929
This, /tnt/ and side tourney wins aren't the same as major tournament wins and never have been, anyone who brings that up seriously is trolling or spiting.

>>64911
May as well ask FARTS to stop or be changed. The meme is too far gone.

>>64926
I did it for the guys, so what about the gals?

>Pretty likely

Pretty hilarious how there's way more bottom picks here than with Mr. /co/. Anyways, with 2022 specifically I'd go as far as to say that Mrs. Brisby and ENA are the two biggest wildcards of the bunch. Both still clearly have a lot of love behind them, but also have pretty clear catches. I can see them ending up just about anywhere in the tournament.

>>64931
Both changed is better. Also wasn't the Once-ler the one who came up with FARTS though? If that's true even the guy who was a major factor on that is basically retired.

>>64933
>Also wasn't the Once-ler the one who came up with FARTS though?
No lol. I remember he made FATS posting, as a joke on FARTS.

>>64934
When even the guy who is a former fatposter is against FARTS you know your teamname has hit low.

>>64925
I do wonder how much Dale's own performance affected Hank. On one hand, both Jack and Skeletor were tearing through the bracket this time. On the other hand, the rest of the quarter-final winners seemed to line up a lot with general thread opinion and momentum. Even when it came to 5th-8th Hank was the top pick by a wide margin. Livesey was his weakest win to date, but if anything you'd think that might help his momentum afterwards. Felt the "Dale vs. Hank" point was more a minority fearing that outcome, but do wonder if a decent chunk of people were outright voting against it directly.

>>64926
>>64932
Ms. is way more volatile and unpredictable. Maaaaybe this has been msotly because of riggerniggers though and they're gone. Who knows. But I'm not confidently laying down any prediction with it.

What happened to the King and Jim Ross poster? He just vanished.

>>64937
Yeah, that's more than fair. I don't feel as confident in these as I did with Mr., and while I tried to take one side or another you could easily add way more into 50/50. Despite me keeping Chel toward the top since it's Chel, the only one that I'd be actually surprised not to return again barring a wild bracket would be Tyr'ahnee.

>>64936
I think on some conscious or not level two characters of the same show in the quarterfinal vote just discourages voting for those characters. It's the risk of finals face-off, "too much" representation or whatever.

>>64940
This might hold some credit, since the Spies also had their progress halted after reaching the E8.

>>64929
>>64930
While I don't agree with the sentiment fully, I don't think it's trolling. I understand some people think different characters should win every tournament and that it can still be brutal to win a /tnt/ tournament.

>>64939
I'm not even confident about Chel. I'd put her wildcard now cause the whole 2022 situation brought a lot of attention to her when previously there was almost none. It can go several ways. Like she can get a boost to spite the whole circumstances of 2022 or because she's finally gotten noticed, get ragged on early for being the prime silent pick or because she's a visible threat now, get falseflagged, ect.
Kind of the same with Tyr'ahnee really.

>>64844
Venture Bros. debuted in 2003

>>64922
I think they're each the closest thing to a rival the other has. Not that they're the only strong contenders, but they have history with each other and tend to be brought up in the same breath. I've been holding out for Tyr'ahnee for half a decade now, and now that Fang's out, Chel is probably the girl I'm watching closest.

>>64940
Not wrong, but at the same time we do have examples to the contrary: Jack in 3rd during Mr. /co/ 2018, Aku in 3rd during 2021, Hilda AND Johanna advancing in Ms. /co/ 2021. The voting demographic is certainly different, but if we're talking general tournament mentality /v/ also has its examples: we got Reimu winning with Cirno, Dante winning with Vergil, and of course both Raiden and Jetstream Sam in E8. All this happened in the same year.

>>64935
FARTS isn't a team name. It's a deliberate spite campaign. No one who is a fan of those characters got together and said "we're gonna make an alliance named after flatulence." It was created in malice and persists in malice.

>>64947
Speaking of Duck Dodgers, is Porky a no shot candidate? He obviously has to qualify for one, but if he DID could be run a surprisingly decent campaign? The others of the main four in the show have made E8 at least once, with Daffy and Tyr'ahnee in particular being consistent powerhouses.

>>64904
Fang's haters are louder than her supporters and NSA stupidly gave the former a lot of ammo last year.

>>64953
He gave them a lot of ammo this year with his inflammatory form questions showing he wasn't backing down from it too.

>>64920
how quickly we forget CKS
Chel, Kim, and Starfire

>>64949
Hopefully it'll go away if one of the FARTS members actually wins.

>>64951
Truly there is no winner worse than SHITnel.

>>64951
Raven really does feel like she could have been a near perfect second winner for Ms. /co/ if you think about it. Represents both cartoons AND comics, breakout character from her show, really solid design, obvious sex appeal, and even would have been a nice follow-up to Starfire's finals appearance the preceding year. That's not even to mention how her mere absence would have had a butterfly effect on future tournaments.

I'm happy with the Wuya vs. Eris finals we got, but at the same time I feel it would have been a good year to retire Raven or Toph. Then again, at least we have two more strong candidates to be the tournament's historic eighth winner.

>>64956
That's more like allowing them to get what they want, anti-campaign or not

>>64958
It always seemed evident the organic finale was meant to be Frankie vs. Raven. Recent events (Raven outlasting Frankie and regaining E8, beating her directly in ms. /aco/) incline me to think Raven likely would've won.

>>64956
I feel Toph and Raven's bans next year should help at least.

Which of the remaining three is the weakest at this point actually? I'm leaning on Azula.

>>64960
This year's Ms. /aco/?

>>64961
None of them are particularly strong imo unless they get massive campaigns. Frankie > Azula = Shego.

>>64962
Yes. By a decent margin.

>>64961
With more people realizing villains/villain-aligned characters make up a good chunk of the winners I can see Azula's and Shego's campaigns tanking.

>>64961
Azula is definitely the weakest. I notice she doesn't get as far as the others and loses to girls who, while strong, would probably be eaten alive by Toph or Raven. Frankie tends to coast until things get serious and Shego is probably just below her.

>>64966
girl who herself lost to another FARTS member in Ms /co/*

>>64965
>With more people realizing villains/villain-aligned characters make up a good chunk of the winners
It's like half and half for both tournaments. It's mostly the streak people are focusing on, and across both tournaments rather than just Ms where Wuya was preceded immediately by Fang. Ms may even have fewer villains based on where you place Spinel on alignment. Neither tournament happens in a vacuum, though, and the events of one can affect the other. I just hope it's not the case.

Mind people thought Toph was the weakest and should be replace by Tyr until suddenly she was the strongest.

>>64962
>>64964
I've never participated in Ms. /aco/. What's the general ratio between campaigning vs. sexual attraction?

>>64970
If we threw in Chel and Tyr'ahnee, we can just call it FACTS.

>>64971
Campaigning consists of posting smut or attractive pics of your girl, which is why I'm not very fond of it, I appreciate the more chill mood than the main tournaments but there's not a whole lot to do, you just horny post a few times and then wait.

>>64972
That sounds much better

>>64970
It helps that Toph had competitors with some bite to them going up against her in her bracket.

>>64965
I wonder what this will mean for Mr. /co/. Even if you don't count Kronk and Tom, that's Grievious, Zorak, and Skeletor all in a row. Plus Skeletor is basically THE goofy cartoon villain, and it feels perfect to take a break from there.
>>64898
Scrooge would be a good pick. He's been on the brink of Elite Eight twice in a row now, and honestly he should've beaten Dale this year.

>>64976
>honestly he should've beaten Dale this year
Dale technically did more overall than Scrooge thanks to the Boomhauer match.

>>64976
Also forgot to mention Popeye who's had a streak of losing to eventual Elite Eight placers, and also only losing to Dr. Livesey by 3 votes.

>>64976
>>64978
They remind me of Squidward prior to last year. You THINK he would be a jobber, but no. Look back, and he's a genuinely threatening competitor.

>>64938
>What happened to the King and Jim Ross poster? He just vanished.
I was there in every thread anon, fighting GOD
IT'S ME AUSTIN!

>>64898
Big comic characters like Batman, Supes, and Spidey are literally too popular and just get spited for being boring or normie picks. It'd take a huge campaign effort and to overcome those sentiments. I also think you guys need capitalize more on recent material to make the characters and campaigns feel 'fresh'. Like you guys should've capitalized more on Batkek stuff for Bruce's campaign back in the day or something. You don't need to devolve into silly RP shenanigans, but just make them seem more exciting.

>non Marvel/DC comics characters
Garfield or Arbuckle should be doing a lot better than they have, but there's just no campaigning for them. They could be actual heavyweights if anyone tried. Scrooge is also a good pick. Omni-Man should be doing better but he's somehow featured more in the Ms. /co/ contest.

>>64986
The problem with Omni-Man is that that after he jobbed in 2021 and 2022, his character ended up completely devolving into OOC RP nonsense in Ms. /co/ 2023 from what I saw. If he got serious campaigning and OC, he could do better. Same thing with Homelander who just hasn't qualified at all.

>>64991
Reading over again, probably should have said "that", not "this". Used the other design as a point of comparison.

>>64987
I fell if Invincible OR The Boys had gone more under the radar, the duo could have hit a sweet spot in Mr. /co/. Instead, they're probably the main reasons their shows hit mainstream. Obviously their comics date back well before the past few years, but don't really have to elaborate why that's not really going to be much a factor here. Guess the real question is HOW you'd approach a successful campaign for either one.

>>64987
At least the RP was funny even if it did absolutely nothing to help his chances in Mr.

>>64993
Homelander has a great personality for campaigning and writefagging and I’m surprised no one’s tried. Mr. /co/ is the exact kind of thing he’d want to win to boost his ego or throw a temper tantrum if he lost.

>>64976
I wonder if the streak of mostly action game characters as Ko/v/ will also continue.

>>64986
It's kinda sad that contrarianism can overpower a decent campaign.

>>65000
He should still be on /tnt/ at least, the vast majority of the faggotry in the main tournaments doesn't come across to here.

I don't know or care about this thread personality but I will say I never want to see a thread shit up with metafaggotry and schizo discussion as bad as that one Mr. /co/ 23 Finals thread, that was abhorrent and everyone who partook in it instead of actually discussing the tournament should feel a measure of shame

>>65004
You mean that afterparty thread? Unless something happened during the night I remember the final threads went smoothly.

>>65005
This one
https://desuarchive.org/co/thread/140018888

>>65006
Ohhh that one, I must've tuned it all out after I started DBSposting once the thread got derailed with schizo shit and metafagging.

>>65012
I predicted he would be fodder from the beginning kek

>>64898
hey at least you got two technical comic characters in the E8 with Optimus and Skeletor since their comics were the first fiction they appeared in

>>65011
Poor Ruber, plunderer or not I was looking forward to his campaign this year.

>>65016
How many voted did he get in qualifiers?

>>65016
His chances would've been better if he wasn't the only character from his movie nominated. It makes it harder to find him at a glance unless you're specifically looking for him. The lower-than-usual qualifier votes didn't help either.

>>65008
I sure do hope /v/ anons don't throw another temper tantrum at the slightless mention of the /co/ tourneys during their own tournaments

>>64965
Well, I think now we can say Azula is SHIT and FINISHED but for a different reason.

>>64882
Spider-Man stole all the missing votes in qualifiers, hence the low turnout. The hosts were working with him and allowed it to happen.

Azula was always the weakest of FARTS statistically. FARTS was just a thing to group the strongest returning 2021 girls and Azula was the 5th best one (5th place in 2019).

>>64897
I might bump Mr. Incredible up a bit since he made some waves this year with his silent campaign, although that also could've been a bit of a fluke since I don't think he even qualified last year.

>>65030
Even then his silent campaign only happened because some anon (probably not IC) harbored a serious grudge against him making E8 in 2020, though the weird cuck shit (that was probably IC) didn’t help at all.

>>65031
The fact that Mr Incredible of all picks got a campaign after all the bitching about him being silent is never gonna stop being funny.

>>65016
Lbr Ruber's never going to do well unless something puts Quest for Camelot back in the spotlight. Maybe if Gary Oldman dies he can at least coast a little bit on that.

>>65047
I feel like femanons would be into gay rape. A lot of them have been here the whole time, even during peak gay rape.

''''femanons''''

>>65058
Cope.

>>65058
Yes femanons, they exist.

The current stelth /v/ thread is kind of terrible.

>>65063
This is way better than the /co/ ones were. Trust me.

>>65062
doubt

>>65069
The Wuya song wouldn’t exist without a femanon.

>>65070
>implying anon didn't get his sister or gf to sing that for him

>he fell for the femanon's are real meme

>>65102
Yeah, I don't get why they weren't swooning over Gaston, desu

>>65104
Desu, I think they didn't want to stesl him from the desu girl.

I wonder of the SpongeBob poster is also here. Now that he's doing SpongeBob on his own I can quit SpongeBob lusting after the Monarch.

This is said without malice but I feel like we potentially dodged a bullet with this Digital Circus thing

>>65111
Why? People were concerned about Murder Drones fans and they turned out to be chill.

>>65113
SOME Murder Drones fans are chill, particularly those I have seen post here.

>>65113
I don't know anything about this Digital Circus thing but it looks like a web animation, so if it's anything like Murder Drones it'd probably just be a bunch of drawfags coming in to campaign for a character who qualifies, loses in round 1, and then gets awarded Ms./Mr. Literally Who

>>65104
because Gaston is made for Jason

>>65115
>then gets awarded Ms./Mr. Literally Who
Digital Circus has had a far bigger launch, so I'm not entirely sure this would happen.

>>65107
Ngl but it was quite obnoxious how he acted sometimes

>>65107
>I can quit SpongeBob lusting after the Monarch.
Was that meant to be a pro Spongebob campaign?

>>65107
If you’re referring to the other Spongebob RPer who was around early on at the same time as you then yeah, apologies for the dupe gimmick kek, I figured it’d be funny and a way to capture that rare side of his personality where he can get pissed off if he was anxious about other Spongebobs but it didn’t really work out.

>>65128
Eh it's fine. You actually did a far better job than I could have imagined. I just kept the "SpongeBob lusting after the Monarch" meme going on because he also normally engaged with the funposting. It's something I did for last year and also for this one until I stopped. Since Chris has been tarnished, I've found funny the idea of someone annoying the Monarch as replacement and that resulted on me basing the idea from a post from 2021? Where SpongeBob was lusting after him while Mr. Krabs dragged him away. However, I am not sure who will serve as the annoying character for him now that I'm not pushing for it. Maybe Bugs Bunny but his posters barely show up to interact with the Monarch.

>>65104
Gaston is for Suiseiseki

Now what do we talk about?

fuck guys I think I know why the votes are so low in the qualifiers
>Skibidi Toilet was allowed in
>Balls said it wasn't a big deal as he expected the toilet to not qualify
what if Skibidi Toilet did get enough votes to qualify and Nightshift decided instead of just letting it in instead he removed most of the votes for it and Squibidi Toilet so they wouldn't get in

>>65133
We'll talk about who will be our picks for next year.

>>65058
all of the hosts are femanons btw

>>65135
no it wasn't getting in full stop, we just missed it when checking for non-characters, didn't matter if it got top seed or enough for bottom lol

>>65137
Feminine PenisAnon...

>>65137
FemSA

>>65136
I'm mainly gonna writefag for Kuzco and JJJ next year. Kuzco did better than I expected this year, so with a stronger push, I could see him reaching Elite Eight again, even with him having winning series spite. I wanted to writefag for JJJ this year, but obviously that didn't happen, so I'll start doing stuff for him in qualifiers and hopefully he'll get in this time.

>>64818
Orko's magic.

>>65136
Master Shake again. I might have a job by then, but I'll still stop by with bumpers and art whenever I can. I started making OC for him, so I want to stick by until he finally wins.

>>65116
Jason jobbed hard though
how the fuck do you lose a quint

>>65152
Source? Also what makes you sad?

Are the Murder Games happening today?

>>65152
no problem lol, I saw you said it made you laugh in the thread

>>65136
SpongeBob is out for the year, so I’m leaning on pushing for a classic this time. Primarily between Scrooge, Popeye, and Daffy.

I fucking hate Mr. Incredible.

I fucking LOVE Mr. Incredible.

I'm indifferent towards Mr. Incredible.

I’ll go through the threads for any missing OC left to be uploaded to the booru latter today. Is there anything you think is screencap-worthy for me to archive, like Farquaad's speeches?

>>65308
Gastonposting was pretty top tier this year, you can probably find something good from that
Somewhat related, should we move OC from the old boorus onto the new boorus? That was if someone goes through say the Zim tag, they'll see OC from every year instead of having to switch between boorus to see non-2023 OC.

>>65308
Some of the iconic Optimus GETs might be worthwhile

>>65308
I was hoping someone would get Farquaad's speeches. Try getting the song parodies people were making and maybe some of the best desuposting.

>>65315
Good for you, Ema. Now it's time for you to go back to being neglected by Capcom.

Ok but how come nobody ever pointed out the thematic weight of Puss (spic cat) losing to Kuzco (inca emperor)
