My KING.

>>86570
MY 2024 KING, I KNEEL!

>>86644
the king of /v/? (You).

>>86589
Spamton is at 100 suffering but idk how deserved it is

>>86644
Red pikmin

>>86644
The Winner of 2024 will be King Boo

>>86644
Alex

>>86589
Spamton is 100 suffering 50 deserved
Ballsanon is 70 suffering 0 deserved

>>86644
>All old participants
New guy will ENTER and DEMOLISH the competition and people WILL cry about it like the ALWAYS do

>>86712
Eh, move him up a little bit in deserved, probably 10. He has been complacent a few times in the past. That said, I agree otherwise.

>>86644
Pikmin.

>>86712
Balls should have some deserving for the Kaine bullshit

>>86644
Gex

>>86805
NSA was the one who pulled that shit. Balls was just too complacent.

>>86644
Bubsy or Gex will beat a heavy hitter because of trans shit.

>>86644
Isaac Clarke, Raiden, and Wario will definitely have some momentum after their narrow R4 losses last year.
Captain Falcon, Chris Redfield, and Mario have shots at finally making Elite Eight this year.
For the 2022 Elite Eight, JC, Travis, and Phoenix are likely to make it far again, the rest are pretty spotty.
King Boo and the Icon of Sin will job harder than last year.

>>86644
I’m going to bounce off a lot of what >>86855 said. I’d also throw in Jacket as a strong contender to finally make it. Captain Falcon is a huge maybe. While he’s being overblown, I could certainly see AM at least returning to Elite Eight depending on the circumstances. He’s the wild card going into next year.

>>86886
To be frank she's much more likely to have WORSE odds after the revelations about OFA/NSA, she'll likely still qualify but I expect her to job even sooner than before.

>>86889
Not sure it’s much reassurance, but as one of Curly’s early supporters last year I’m happy to support her long as her campaigners stick around.

>>86889
Even before the revelation's I'm not sure she was all that helped by loser's and grand finals.

Pepsiman's finally gonna make it bros

>>86892
just hope we don't get bullied out of the threads again

>Roll is on heat!
>Roll is so sexy bros
>Augie shit
Man I'm glad we got this over literally anyone else Roll faced for our Elite Eight

>>86924
>when Rollfags started whining about one of the elite eight images using NES Mega Man art because they thought it was ugly

>>86924
I’m willing to forgive Roll since she is a good pick and her sprite campaigner was fun. That said, this is also a fair reason why I’d also prefer her not to actually reach finals. Having her get 3rd coming off the robot girl match and her relationship with SHODAN seems like good enough a peak for her.

I find it interesting how there’s far less certainly around powerhouses in Queen 2024 compared to King. Most seem to agree that Hornet is going to do well unless Silksong both released AND bombed afterwards, yet outside that there’s far more certainty.

>>86934
Far more uncertainty, my bad.

Goku will win

>>86927
>Rollfags don't actually play video games
Roll deserves better fans.

>>86930
I like Roll and like you said, that guy doing sprite art was pretty good, but she's nowhere near my top Mega Man pick. X, Zero, and Tron Bonne are all way better but always do substantially worse.

>>86946
Trom Bonne is an unlucky midcarder. I don’t think she should win either, but she certainly has Elite Eight potential.

Strong agree on X and Zero, especially the latter. He deserves far better than he’s gotten.

>>86924
"roll is on heat and so sexy bros" is at least very funny

Is Demi-fiend the youngest character in-canon to make Elite Eight in King of /v/ thus far? He’s right on the border of adulthood, but that’s still off the norm compared to other elites. Typically the men who make it are in at least their 20s by the time we cover their main portrayals. Only vague cases here are Jack Frost and Rayman.

WARIO IS SHIT AND FINISHED.
BATTLER IS SHIT AND FINISHED.
YOUR FAVORITE? SHIT AND FINISHED.

>>86958
GOKU? HE WON BTW.

>>86972
Based Gus

TOTAL RIGGER DEATH! FAGGOTS THAT USE MULTIPLE ACCOUNTS DURING QUALIFIERS AND TOURNAMENTS SHOULD KILL THEMSELVES!

>>86984
I rigged for Goku with over 9000 accounts.

>>86985
She runs on design and general fame.

>people complaining about loli's and lolifagging again
You all voted aerd's golden girl Recette back in 2021 lol.

>>86993
Kindof a shame with what happened with him, honestly his run with her legitimately inspired me to campaign and have fun in these.

>>86993
Not my problem.

I'm just glad that most people think Recette is such a shitty winner now. Even when I first knew about her winning I was baffled (I wasn't there for Queen but I found out during King). If King wasn't so unbelievably kino that year I wouldn't have been an active campaigner for basically all the main tournaments today.

>>86993
Why are people are turning back on the 2021 winners?

>>87000
Recette is outright bad and Batter means absolutely nothing if you haven't played OFF, because the character gets VERY little attention outside of the tournament contexts on /v/. It isn't like The Ace Attorney guys, where even if you haven't played Ace Attorney you certainly know who they are from secondhand cultural exposure.

>>87000
because recete and batter are mid as fuck

>>87004
Funny how it's the same year there's almost overwhelming agreement the runner-ups are better than the actual winners, even though the tourneys themselves are beloved

>>87002
I still think Batter's OKAY even if I preferred Eggman, and his significance to games and the board is better than Recette's.

>>87000
Recette has been controversial ever since her honeymoon period ended. The aerd situation mentioned didn’t help, but even without that she’s remained a debated figure in hindsight.

The Batter had a way more positive reception in comparison. He’s gotten more controversial now because of the previous two winners. Feel a lot of people were expecting another cornerstone winner by now and instead we got two picks that while quite liked are pretty niche in most contexts. Grimm being another RPG Maker protagonist is especially notable.

>>87005
Johanna?

>>87007
I like Grimm the most out of than the last three winners even if he's the most frustrating situation to win out of them

>>87000
They are bad winners, even more so compared to the 2nd placers and the Elite 8.

>>87008
Ms. is always a different story because it was mindraped by gems in the mild september of 2019 and never recovered.

13 and all those who shit on Grimm winning get raped by him

>>87015
You can’t get GETS in this board, Yugi

>>86952
Yeah he seems to be the youngest one

>>87027
The queens are all pretty conventional outside of Recette. There's not much to debate on them. There's been complaints about Reimu as a touhou winner but that's not a big deal anymore.

>>87028
If anything I like Reimu winning, so obnoxious secondary shit like Cirno gets spited out because "we already had a Touhou winner"

>>87030
Reimu's pretty much been fully accepted. it helps her relation with Dante ended up fitting so well.

>>87032
Dante-Reimu and Curly-Grimm really are the power couples

>>87028
All are also generally accepted as winners except Recette, which is probably also why Armstrong and Dante are rarely brought up in the debates as well

Anons how many of you have been rigging characters?

>>87040
I've been in over ten tourneys now and still have stuck to the single email this entire time. If I can't win with campaigning, what's the point?
Now anonymous complaining against characters I don't like to hopefully spiral out of conrol? Oh yeah. Now THAT'S fun.

>>87027
>Fellas, are the female characters just more boring in general
Yeah, of course they fucking are? Female characters already tend to be not great and nearly all the ones that get in are coompicks. Literally all the Queen winners are coompicks.

>>87040
I’ve been rigging since day 1, but y’all knew that

>>87046
We know, Nightshit

>>87048
Not Nightshift. I’ve been rigging these tournaments on /v/, /co/ and /tnt/ for years. Anytime you all got close to finding out me rigging characters, I would sabotage and blame an innocent character of rigging to cover my tracks.

The Batter is still the best King btw

>>87050
I’m the one who rigged Pepsi Man into this year’s tournament too. Of course, I didn’t intend him to win. Just to enter the tournament.

>>87055
No, that's just voting based on personal taste. Which is the right way to vote.

>>87052
OK answer us right fucking now. Did you rig Grimm?

>>87057
Ironically no I didn’t. However, he was easy to frame.

I rigged for Dracula

>>87060
Honesty I voted for Eggman and I thought that he was going to win but I guess that’s just the curse of me being a sonicfag. However i’m not disappointed. I can always rig him back in the tournament for 2025

>>87049
Oh yeah? Who you rigging in tag right now?

>>87062
I rigged for Grimm with 8 alts because I genuinely thought Eggkek was going to win.

>>87064
I can’t tell you until after the tournament. That would spoil the surprise ;)

>>87065
Yeah. This wasn’t my doing.

>>87056
Some people really didn't seem to like that I thought Alex Eagleston is just an inherently dumb character, his campaign stuff was completely irrelevant to me when he's the obnoxious autist from fucking YIIK
I really felt like I was in bizarro land when these people "loved" him

>>87067
OK o wise one, tell me. Why do you rig? What is your method?

>>87064
I rigged against Superman and Batman because of that stupid Goku spammer.

>>87069
>Why do you rig?
The lols tbh. My method? I don’t really give a shit about the king. what I do is that I rig in candidates to enter and with a coin flip I rig one side. I repeat this until semi finals then I vote legitimately.

>>87007
Grimm is THE /v/ pick at least, a BS thread just hit bump limit earlier today. Batter isn't really the same.

Batter?
Recette?
SHIT AND FINISHED!

>>87070
Based.

Batter is shit, Jack is shit, Grimm is shit, but it doesn't matter. AM will win this year anyway and he's the shittiest.

>>87070
Regular Show is SHIT and FINISHED!

I can get wanting to rig the main tourney cause it's the big one and probably full of other riggers.
But rigging side tourneys? Come on now... not even DTVA niggers seem to do that.

>>87027
all the interesting ones always job early

>>87071
How many accounts do you usually use to rig?

You guys know literally anybody can say this stuff, right? Watch
I used one hundred alternate accounts to rig against Hornet in the Queen /v/ 2022 finals, because I found a cockroach in the bathroom and it was icky

>>86889
Just cause the rounds turned to shit for meta reasons don't make me think she's got worse chances. With a luckier bracket and SS2 Enhanced Edition she could probably do decently.

>>87027
>>87044
All the Queens except for Recette are better than Kings btw.

>>87090
Hornet bro's...

>>87090
That's correct but there definitely was rigging about.

>>87095
It's true. I rigged it so specifically your main lost.

>>87094
The muzzle picture is hilarious

>>87100
NSAbro btw

>>87100
The sheer amount of drama and impact it caused is hilarious.

Fuck RIGGERS

>>87000
I always thought 2021 had some of the weakest winners. Betty Boop is the only one I can definitively say I prefer to other ones from her respective tournament.

The muzzle picture shouldn't have caused any drama

>>87105
It was a good thing it did though.

I rigged the Lisa characters out

>>87109
nobody cares lol

Reminder nobody cared about the muzzle the first few times it was posted and NSA had to start spamming for it to get a minimal amount of attention.

>>87105
It in and of itself wouldn't, but it was REALLY awful considering everything else going on. The hosts dropped out of nowhere "Oh by the way, we can also revoke second place from her, have fun with that!", AND some autists couldn't stop complaining and hating on her to a horrible degree. Plus in 2022 some dickwad kept posting poop porn of her. She's suffered disproportionally badly, the muzzle spam was the straw that broke the camel's back.

muzzle deez nuts

>>87114
You just reminded me that it's probably also NSA that also posted poop porn of her a lot.

>>87116
Nah the scar guy must have been a random funposter, he also posted poop shit of Midna during that same round.

>>87094
>the explosive shitstorm that's going to happen when the main board learns it's almost undeniably NSA that was behind that
How are we gonna tell em?
>hey guys turns out NSA actually is an unhinged schizo obsessed with the tourneys to an unhealthy degree who has been smearing contestants for several tourneys and may have rigged against some of your favorite characters purely out of spite

>>87122
Just say NSA went full schizo

>>87090
kek this. But I didn't find cockroach in the bathroom, since my house isn't shithole. I do dislike bugs though. Rigged all tournaments, btw

>>87116
NSA had nothing against Amaterasu in 2022. He had nothing against her in 2023 until the finals, when likely the combo of her beating Bayonetta by a HUGE blowout and several Ammy posters (I was one of them, know there's more) being pretty vocal about his precious loser's bracket being a bad idea likely mindbroke him

honestly I don't really care about rigging because every single tourney was and is getting rigged

>>87129
Thanos I thought you were on our side...

>>87131
Anon thanos is the biggest schizo of them all.

>>87133
No...

>>87109
Bradbros... buzzo got us again

>>87092
It's true. Queen has much better variety and arguably their picks succeed better at what King picks do. Samus gets a lot of hate for being non-existent in tournamemt lore, but I think she was the most solid pick for a first year tournament winner with how much of an impact on female protagonists she left while Armstrong, who I think is fun, I also think was a bit of an odd choice for a first year tournament even accounting for his meme status and I think a main character or a more prominent antagonist should have won the first year instead. Curly I find more fitting for a 4chan tournament indie winner and a more iconic indie character overall than Batter. While Black Souls might have started its fandom on 4chan, Touhou is one of the first things I think of when I think of 4chan.

>>87142
Also not only does Midna have such a great and interesting tournament history, she's the best Zelda girl AND her threads constantly hit bump limit AND she's just a great character in general.

>>87145
If the game receives a multiplayer gamemode, I can legitimately see the dealer as a high seed.

>>87145
Who is this?

>>87000
Not me on Batter at least, he's a good winner. Recette is debateable.

>>87000
People are just now realizing that, despite the year being one of the most engaging and considered the gold standard, the winners weren't that good in hindsight. Recette even as a character is meh and the entire reason behind her victory was just cunny lovers. Batter was more warmly embraced as while not a extremely bad winner, he is underwhelming compared to the other winners that we currently have.

>>87145
FOTM indieshit. Will be mostly forgotten when the next main tournament comes around.

>>87151
Jack is more underwhelming than Batter in about every aspect expect board culture.

>>87157
>Jack is more underwhelming than Batter in about every aspect expect the most important one.
I agree.

>>87157
They're both shit. Grimm too.

>>87158
Batter is also more underwhelming than Recette in that aspect too.

>>87166
Nice

>>87167
Nah

>>87174
Yes. OFF barely had an impact on /v/ when other Internet communities started becoming aware of its existence and anyone who claims otherwise is a lying whore.

>>87177
Nah

I’m one of the more positive ones on Batter’s win, but even then it is a shame how perfect it would have felt retiring Eggman that year.

>finally makes Elite Eight after Dante blocked him TWICE
>had to take down the first runner-up in Doomguy to do it
>had a face-off with the other beloved fat man powerhouse, Wario
>took down a silent powerhouse in Kiryu

I loved Batter vs. Spamton like a lot of other people, but I think it really carried the character’s win hard alongside the obvious schizo alliance. Even the Nyarly match was mostly focused on the conspiracy posting jokes.

Big reason I bring this all up is because there felt like a role reversal last year with Grimm. He actually had a perfect storm while Eggman meandered a surprising amount despite at least three great opponents. Wario vs. Eggman was indeed a highlight, but it wasn’t even the kind of crackmatch you got with Batter vs. Spamton.

>>87177
OFF didn't have impact on /v/ my ass, it literally get threads.

If there’s any lesson to be learned, betting on any runner-up simply being able to come back later should never be a safe assumption. I remember people saying that about Eggman in 2021, and look what happened. It can absolutely happen, but it’s a huge risk.

I’m curious now. If Eggman had won over Batter, how would you all actually rank him against the other kings assuming they stay the same here?

>>87185
I would rank him pretty low, not a fan of Sonic.

>>87183
What games DON'T get any threads at all on /v/? Last year was OFF's 15th anniversary and the celebratory thread in question didn't even reach the bump limit.
OFF is a niche within a niche on the board, people are aware of its existence but it's very far from what I would consider a /v/core game.

I'm not even saying this in order to dunk on Batter, it's just the plain truth.

>>87185
Same position as Batter for me, so I'd go
Armstrong = Dante > Grimm > Eggman > Garland

>>87187
Yeah but saying Recette has more impact than he does is just plain wrong, he clearly have more staying power than she does. I was in the celebratory thread and it ALMOST hit bump limit. Meanwhile you don't see Recettear as much there anymore, OFF still get brought up regularly in RPG Maker threads too.

>>87068
I can at least respect the campaign efforts, but I still never voted for him because I think him and his game are garbage, and it's still weird to me how his loss to Wario was close while Geralt got stomped by Eggman despite his qualities as a character.

>>87193
OFF has had anotable impact on the indie videogame scene in general, which is NOT the same thing as saying there's fanatism around it on the board. By comparisson 4chan is literally the only western site I know of that ever gave a shit about Recettear at one point (and Recettear still gets threads from time to time).
>I was in the celebratory thread and it ALMOST hit bump limit
It didn't even reach 300 replies...

>>87194
>and it's still weird to me how his loss to Wario was close while Geralt got stomped by Eggman despite his qualities as a character.
Unironically it was the nigger poll picture

>>87198
>It didn't even reach 300 replies...
Guess I must be getting old then because I thought it was around 300+ replies or so. But then again I was rangebanned at time so I couldn't post.
>which is NOT the same thing as saying there's fanatism around it on the board
Now I actually disagree, I'm 100% sure OFF has a sizeable fanbase in /v/ even if its not as cult-like as BS.

>>87194
It’s wild how Eggman was just curbstomping, yet fumbled that hard against Grimm.

>>87202
SameCHAD of Rivia...

>>87202
>the SameCHAD of Rivia now has a funny poll picture
He's now unstoppable

>>87185
Armstrong (I kneel) > Eggman = Dante > Grimm > Garland

>Batter is le bad because...he's not /v/-core enough!!!
>Grimm is le bad because....he's not automatically recognizable enough!!!!
Ok so notes taken: if they're not a pop culture staple already we do NOT campaign for them.

Mariobros...this year we wahoo to victory!

>>87234
This but unironically, the machinimas made for him last year were kino and it's a shame we didn't get more.

>>87234
Recognizing Batter won primarily thanks to his campaign and not because /v/ honestly likes his game is not the same thing as saying he is bad winner.

>>87142
>It's true. Queen has much better
It's all porn

>>87244
... in my headcanon.

>>87166
Cute and wholesome. Hex just doesn't need to hear what Grimm does to the Alices.

>>87248
Just look at Link, with a normal pic he jobs but with the CDI pic he has a chance.

>>87241
MY KING!

>>87254
He had a chance?

>>87237
Mario has just gotten better with each year and has several memes that got their start on /v/, so I'd be fine with him making Elite Eight. I wish I did a bit more for him last year but I was too busy with my main and sorta forgot.

I think Alex would've still beat kim even without nigger in his voting picture.

>>87202
Finally, now my heroes Geralt and Alex will win.

>>87260
AIEEEEEEEEE I KNEEL I KNEEL

>>87260
Samenigger of Riveria

>>87105
No, it shouldn't have. Even if people consider it a net good, Erikaanon was still an incredibly petty autist and shouldn't be lauded as a hero.
>>87114
>She's suffered disproportionally badly
She got second place. You guys don't understand what "disproportionally badly" is because you never tried campaigning for actual controversial characters, so when your generally-beloved high seed pick gets into some mild controversy you think it's the worst thing that could happen to a pick. It's not. Some of my picks over the years got completely shat on and had their chances effectively ruined. You don't have that.

>>87244
It's literally not THOUGH

>>87271
Let me guess... DTVAfag?

>>87273
It literally is.

>>87270
You shouldn't use multiple accounts in the first place

>>87278
… on opposite day.

>>87271
I think you are making the grave mistake of implying that Erikafag is what led to people pointing their attention to those pictures, and not the fact we had someone (the host) obsessively reposting them while demonizing Ammy's supporters for entire threads to such an extent that he was still at it in the middle of King of /v/ (and chances are it would have bled into the following tournaments weren't it for these recent discoveries)

>>87287
sissygetabro btw

>>87284
You can't stop me.

>>87131
I am, is just a funny gif

>>87234
Mario would be an unironically kino winner and I won't pretend otherwise. Hotel Mario posting is essential /v/ and Super Mario 64 is one of the most beloved games on the board. A phenomenal comeback too, going from getting 3-ruled by Waluigi, to getting pooped on by Jack frost, to losing early having a great campaign start but l9sing to an also great campaign start, to outright winning

>>87202
Alex was carried hard by that, wasn't he

We GameFAQs now?

>>87301
yes

>>87312
Kek

>>87322
lol no
