Topic List	Page List: 1
GavsEvans123 06/02/19 5:00:57 PM #1:	Hello everyone, and welcome back to Best of the Trope! Here are the rules. Each day, I will post a trope from TV Tropes, and each poster can name up to three examples of that trope. Whichever nomination gets the most mentions wins! Posters may also name as many Honourable Mentions as they like, but they are purely optional and will not count towards the running score. You may look at the TV Tropes page for that day's trope for examples, but you do not have to pick all your examples from the page. You can nominate whatever examples you like, as long as they qualify for the trope. Each trope will last around 24 hours before the next one goes up. Posters may also nominate any tropes they wish to see come up during the series. This is optional, and you don't have to do it every day, or at all. Tropes will be randomly selected from the list each day, except for some occasions where I will pick a thematically appropriate trope that may or may not be on the list. Here's the list of previous tropes, so if you wish to nominate some tropes, check on here that it wasn't previously done. http://board8.wikia.com/wiki/Best_of_the_Trope Trope List: Launcher of a Thousand Ships Even the Girls Want Her Even the Guys Want Him One True Love Disc-One Nuke Beef Gate Stupid Statement Dance Mix Lethal Joke Character Difficult, but Awesome Tier-Induced Scrappy Glass Cannon Breather Boss That One Level Breather Level Giant Space Flea from Nowhere Game-Breaker Broken Base Roaring Rampage of Revenge Cliffhanger Cruel and Unusual Death Sudden Sequel Death Syndrome Evil Cripple Torch the Franchise and Run Lights Off, Somebody Dies Grand Finale <cite>GavsEvans123 posted [p:922701076] in Best of th...

GavsEvans123 06/02/19 5:04:46 PM #3:	Today's trope is Joke Character. Here is the link: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/JokeCharacter Characters, often in the form of Easter Eggs, deliberately unbalanced in the negative sense. They mainly have a humorous value and the fandom often likes them due to their sheer awkwardness or strangeness. This is mainly a trope of fighting games. Joke characters are sometimes used by especially proficient players to beat other players, mainly for bragging rights. Note this is not the same thing as a Easter Egg where the player's appearance simply switches (like a redone sprite) or a Fighting Clown (a character who simply looks silly but plays well) TL,DR: This character sucks, and they're not viable for serious use, but they sure are funny! Nominations: Dan (Street Fighter) Little King Zero (Bayonetta) Han Solo frozen in carbonite (Lego Star Wars) <cite>GavsEvans123 posted [p:922701193] in Best of th...
