Best Fight Tournment Sign Up Thread

[Devilbat]

Aye thats some very good points too. I was concerned that might be an issue too. I suppose I could ask people to post a funny panel or manga page or short scene from a show or movie as a video, but as you said, ti would have to be something that doesnt require priour buildup/knowledege/context, something that is funny on its own and thus you can laugh at it without knowing the series.

Thats some great advice, thank you. 14 people does sound like a pretty decent amount for a smaller tourney, I was thinking it was gonna be between 12 and 16 maybe so thats perfect.

Aye I can imagine! Light makes it seem so easy but thats just how chill he is ofc haha, also how used to it, experienced he is, got it down to an art now! I was dreading trying to run a contest with a much higher number of people like 20, 24 like you had or even worse higher than that too potentially. Sounds like a huge headache to manage and keep track of!

Oops I misssed this part out lol.

Even though I'm a big fan of these series ironically, I still want to exclude them as they have WAY too much power and popularity here, it really skews the contests WAY too much in their favour, just like One Piece from what I've seen many times now: Bleach, Naruto and Jojo's/JJBA.

I really hate Berserk and Made In Abyss for extremely personal reasons and wanted to ban them regardless, non negotiable lol. I considered banning AOT too as I really hate it now, I used to be a fan of it but im just sick of it now too.

Id love to see more and more niche entries get submitted but banning these series might put off a lot of people from entering too. Some contests like best OST or most emotional music or w/e type ones had some AMAZING, very niche, unexpected type entries and I discovered a lot of amazing music that way, so I really want to encourage more of that too. I much prefer seeing entries for lesser popular/known series and thus underdogs, rather than the same groundhog day circlejerk of the same few series and characters being repeatedly submitted and dominating these contests multiple times now.
The character design contest had some serious issues with this for example imo, which annoyed me a lot too.

I might focus on running video game themed contests too mainly as thats my passion too btw.

Tbh, there's a learning curve, but it's not too steep. I had a whole excel sheet with entries, helped mostly for tracking who's in/out plus who submitted which entry. But yeah, made me appreciate every host even more!

With regard to banning so many series, maybe instead have some rules for "underdog" series? I feel like running "most underrated series" tournament would be your cup of tea! I'm just thinking out loud, if you ban so many series, then people still can use some hype stuff like Star Wars or Batman franchise, and you still won't have the underdogs in the competition (or few of them). As a participant, I like to have my freedom of choice (or illusion of it). If it's "Best Running Gag", but the rules state "using 10+ series is banned", I would be like "eh, already had Kon in mind, but with those limitations I would pass". But if your tournament is "Best Running Gag in Underrated Anime/Manga series", then I feel challenged and can spend more time in looking for a perfect entry!
Anyways, I suggest you creating a thread and a poll for tournament ideas and see how many people are on the same page with you.

Hi, any space for me?

@GUI sign Kagu up.

Aye that makes sense, thanks!





Ahhh that makes sense too, thats good to know, tyvm! Thats a very solid system.

:cheers:

No worries, looking forward to it.

I agree with @Makima de Sade suggestions on having at least 14 people, it makes a quick and fairly easy tourney, I had 24 and the first round was a little overwhelming to me, with 3 brackets and all.

14 minimum. Yo I can imagine. I once had 38 entries lol. That was a ride.

Hi, any space for me?

Sure sure

 

[Light D Lamperouge]

Sure sure

Btw if no one else signs up, you should to make it 20 and an even number so you don't have to make three-way fights or something.

I will participate for sure lol, but I only need 2 more players to complete the list

Nice. You can go ahead with 20 as well. 20-10-6-3. Or you can make it last longer and go for

20 in round 1 - 14 aka allow 4 losing ones with the highest percentage to advance and 10 winning ones in round 2 - 8 allow one losing one with the highest voting percentage to advance and 7 winning ones in round 3 - 4 in semifinals - 2 in finals

@Shimotsuki Ghostly do you intend to go after GUI? If yeah imo you should make the thread about which tourney people want today so that you know what to expect and prepare for. Great avy btw.

Aye tyvm! Thought you might like it too naturally haha!

Hmm I guess so, it doesn't seem like anybody else is gonna be hosting one next after all right? So I dont have to worry about any potential timing/parallel clashes or whatever?

I had some more ideas but I forgot to write them down too lmao. Maybe Best Humbling Moment or something? Ill make a thread with poll to see what gets the most votes as you and Devilbat were suggesting ofc.

 

[Light D Lamperouge]

Yeah it's great.

Yeah there doesn't seem to be anyone going next so it's the perfect opportunity.

Nice. Humbling sounds great ngl. Nice. I'll be looking forward to it.


My advice is to make the thread today, nowish, because if GUI's tourney starts tomorrow, people will be tagged nonstop and might miss it lol. How many options do you have in mind? I'd say allow up to a third of votes compared to the poll options. So if you got like 10 options allow 3 votes or smth. Looking forward to what you have in store for us either way.

Aye thank you thats great advice. I'll get right on it then. I've got maybe 7-8 options at least.

[Gorosei Informer]

No worries. Looking forward to it.

Sorry got a little sidetraked and I'm also struggling on which choices to include so I ended up going with a LOT:

I ended up coming up with 15 ideas here lmfao, so I chose 5 votes maximum to go with how you said to make it about a third of the total @Makima de Sade .

@Devilbat what do you think too? Do these options look ok to you too guys? I wont make the thread until you guys say I've set it up right.

I did both best female protagonist and character as I was undecided which one to go for. Only 1 category will be chosen to be used though ofc, so I have to factor this in too somehow.

These look great. A lot have great potential. Maybe just close the poll in like 5 days so that you can have it ready by the time GUI's tourney ends.

Thank you! I'll do that then too. I was gonna wait for Devil to respond too but I think given GUI's tourney starts soon as you said, its best to get this started immediately as you suggested and just get the ball rolling.
