Board 8 > itt we document Character Battle X

(+) Yeah! (+)

***Please use https://imgtc.com/ for image uploads***

I will be posting screenshots of potentially historical moments as well as whatever else I find pertinent to preserve. Basically anything where we can point and laugh at it in a few years as we try to contain the pain caused by Monika's victory.

I will occasionally be re-posting things posted here in this thread for further preservation: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/184626-traffic-jam/76917465

Feel free to join in. Try getting things in high quality. There is nothing not worth archiving. Please keep this thread bumped through CBX and its aftermath.











ps did anyone screenshot the contest announcement?

If you support this project also consider supporting Metal Sonic for a FREE match pic!

I will also archive this:

It seems I need to clear my ignore list.

itt: ZenOfThunder screenshots literally every post talking about the contest

Yes, that is the point. One day in 5 years when I'm referencing how James Bond somehow got into a contest or Monika overran our brackets then I'll have photos to go along with it.

Also see: When I did that for CBIX but I had no pictures so it wasn't as good:

EDIT:

ps you can als contribute to this thread, that's why the topic title says "we"

can't wait to post this in 5 years and cite it as the reason we didn't get Kiryu in a field of like 300+ characters

I assume it will be that many at least

EDIT: Or, conversely, we get both Kazuma Kiryu and Kiryu Kazuma in the same field

I am happy to cause some contest whining before noms even come out

imagine complaining about the level of "character" in a character in a series of contests that once had L-Block as a champion
---

Just wanted a small snapshot of characters with 1 nom right now for flavor

Years later we'll look back on the 1 nom for Vegeta and smile

come on man sometimes he says "Welcome to the League of Draven," that's one whole line more than Metal Sonic

oh wait


---

Is Sonic referencing His World on purpose in that strip? Because if so, that's incredible.
---

half of the recent sonic comics are just sonic in-jokes and fanservice, most of the creative team were poached from deviantart
---

Draven still has more personality than many of the characters who did get nominated in though
---

Tag

To be fair, one line is also one line more than Link throughout most of his adventures, unless "HYAAA!" counts.
---

And if you actually play the game he has at least 10-15 voiced lines plus a backstory
---

This topic seems sad.
---

This topic is the embodiment of the worst parts of the board so by definition it is sad

Wait until the contest starts and we get a controversial match and well get into the real shit
---

these will be good flavor when I do a post-contest analysis using all the pics from this topic

Eh Draven is a pretty decent character imo.

I just don't care for him after 2013.

I mean he is an executioner who decided to make shows out of it. That's pretty cool.

I actually wrote Draven's bio for CBIX because nobody wanted to, it's actually not a bad backstory, the problem is that it's contained within the website for the game and not the game itself, so if you're just playing League he probably seems bland. Same with most of the other characters I'm sure. They do all have cool designs though so I guess I shouldn't knock Draven cuz that's like 75% of the reason I love Metal Sonic.

What a twist

Apparently Conker didn't even start his own series, never mind his earlier cameos.

I'm Ngamer, and this is my favorite topic on Board 8!

While we're documenting things, I need to make sure my official prediction goes on the record.

tagalog

ngamer really wants to spite me if it happens doesn't he

It will be a sad day when those two reasons start to trend downward.

just wanna make note here that the Mega Man 11 demo dropped during the nomination period

he's gonna be in anyway I assume I just need to jot down some things to talk about in some of his early matches where he blows Visual Novel fodder out like he did to Serious Sam
---

Documenting how passionate @HaRRicH is about getting Metal Man in. I really admire that level of passion.

If he doesn't get in then in 20 years when we get CBXI PM me and I'll make a Metal Man banner for your next rally

also I stole your idea and now have the metal sonic rally in my sig
---

going to use this in a DK writeup

The 2018 Zenanalysis project is looking great so far.

The 2018 Zenanalysis project is looking great so far.

Hype for 2023.

Thanks Zen! For your documentation purposes, that rally was originally posted on 11/3/2013 -- it was the first rally started since the last Character Battle.

I also had four teaser topics leading up the month before the official rally, where I teased who would receive my next rally support. It was gonna be AKI Man for awhile instead of Metal Man during this period! I decided against it mid-teasers though and fortunately found a way to make a much better choice without retconning the teasers.

And hey, Metal Man may need your banner if he gets in! I did the math and your banner for Epona literally tripled her strength.
