I mean I believe Allen will cater to us a little bit but certainly not to the extent of letting us decide the bracket or whatever.

We've had them to ourselves for a week now, so maybe in the next 24 hours?

It doesn't seem like he's updated the autofill since the day they opened either.

Every time a contest like this comes up why I'm I always reminded at how bad I am at picking the winners. It gets so bad that only 5 sorry saps can predict the trollish nature of the community and just throw logic out the window.

I still can't grasp that Undertale won best game ever. Well no one cares about it now! It was just a bandwagon and a fad and like all bandwagons and fads was left behind for the next bandwagon and fad!!!

Really? I've been seeing and hearing D.Va this and D.Va that. Ive never played Overwatch either and wondered why she's so popular. And then that trailer at Gamescom 2018 played and I said to myself "huh... so thats why people like D.Va." Think about; she's a PRO MLG gamer turned World Hero and member of Overwatch (I think) and part of an advanced mecha sports team, and keeps a trim figure while eating junk food and drinking soda... so yeah everything gamers wish they were.

This.

D.va and hanzo are the most powerful in a contest possibly but even then I'd guess not much without a rally

Wait are you talking about Tracer or D.Va? Not that it matters really my only reply is a quote near the end of a video with the link here that says "of the fans make her lesbian"

Think about it this way, you wouldn't put Samus under Metroid Zero Mission instead of just Metroid, would you?

Well we've seen what rallies can do. And by that I dont mean our Board 8 rallies to help the people who care most get their characters in, but if Reddit can simglehandedly make a character win the damn bracket, who is to say they cant get 20 Overwatch characters as the top 20 seeds?

Nominations are just a strong suggestion. Also series/company caps have been used against Nintendo and Square-Enix in the past. Overwatch would likely get capped at well below 20.

Just got to thinking, with KH3 on the way, it might be interesting to see Kairi back. She did just a tiny bit worse than Tidus against a common opponent (Claire Redfield) and avoided an SFF beatdown by Rikku (42%), so she's not a total weakling or anything.

128 makes sense with only 8 of the noble nine in the logo. Sephiroth will probably be someone's #2 seed, hopefully not Cloud's.

The Noble Nine get high seeds based on noms

CBIX was the exception but they all still get tons of noms from the site at-large. I remember SBAllen giving some nomination statistics before the 2010 contest and he said Link got the most noms of anyone by a decent margin, so yeah, Mario would never get a 12 seed.

I mean I instantly nominated Squall as soon as the form went online and I always will every contest

I'm sure there are plenty of people who nominate the same Noble Niners every contest

they're among the most popular characters on the site for a reason
