It's that time again! A new contest is upon us, which means it's time for us to decide who gets in. Details are scarce but we know it's a character contest, our first since 2013! In past tournaments, LeonhartFour led us through a contest to determine who would earn (much of) Board 8's support, and now it's time to do it again!
We will again have two separate brackets - Newcomers and Returning Characters (Returners). Given the sheer number of characters in 2013, both the Newcomers and Returners bracket will be of the same size (most likely 64, but it may change based on number of nominations or if SBAllen decides to start the contest nomination period very soon). The general agreement is that those participating in the Nomination Rally Tournament will nominate whoever wins each bracket into the Summer Contest. However, you can support as many characters as you want. --- Nomination Rules You may nominate up to 10 newcomers and 10 returners. Characters can be nominated by more than 1 user - that actually makes them more likely to make the bracket. The characters you nominate must be eligible by GameFAQs rules. Characters that exist in a gray area (like Geralt) can be nominated for this tournament, but they may not get into the actual Summer Contest. A character that has been in a prior contest vote-in but did not make the bracket will be considered a Newcomer. Nominations will be tentatively open until Thursday, August 9th at 8 AM ET. I may extend the deadline if we need more nominations. --- Nominate and have fun! --- "The people who play Final Fantasy 7 actually have lives and dont NEED polls" ~MajinUltima BKSheikah won Guru, but you know that. ...

I forgot an important rule from past NRTs:
The character cannot have appeared in the previous contest. (They must be returning from an absence.) The previous character contest was the 2013 Summer Contest. @Whiskey_Nick @Shonen_Bat - please feel free to update your nominations as you desire.

Yeah I goofed and forgot about that when making the topic. So the Returners bracket may not have to be too big.

Characters who missed the 2013 bracket and are therefore eligible for the returners' bracket who might not be COMPLETELY pathetic (Looking for high fodder-ish or above):
Liquid Snake Chris Redfield Jecht Kain Highwind Cid Highwind Axel (Both the Kingdom Hearts and Guitar Hero Axels would be eligible to return! Was thinking the KH one, though) Vault Boy Darth Revan HK-47 Akuma Ken Arthas Prince of Persia Diablo Lucario Mudkip (Probably almost nobody even cares about the meme anymore but being a starting pokemon might keep it from completely falling off the map) Diddy Kong Sandbag (Edit: Not Eligible) Ada Wong Vergil Maybe Dedede or Serge? Neither looked good in their one match but they probably didn't get a fair shot. These guys looked kind of okay in the villains contest and never returned but it's tough to say how much that means: M. Bison Nemesis Dr. Wily Sin (Seriously, don't actually do this.) There's also BOTH Master Hand and Kuja, who looked bad at the time but each have reason to be stronger now! Then there's various GTA and Call of Duty characters and good ole Marcus Fenix, but those guys are pretty much just done on this site. --- [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] [NO BKSheikah NO PEACE] ...

well the point of the contest is to get fresh blood in not to help characters who get in every year even without our help because that last bracket was so huge most of those characters wouldn't get in again without our help either maybe we can expand the eligible list to include characters who were only in 2013?
