Important: How should the rivalries be decided for inclusion in the bracket?



Welcome to RR~B8E! This topic is for discussion of everything regarding the contest and bracket.

Speaking of which, we have a very important decision to make: How to handle the rivalries that'll get in.

  1. First option means that every entry would be separated accordingly, and the top entries from each category would battle it out later on for the supreme title of best rivalry.
  2. Second option means that everything would be mixed, but entries like Superman/Goku and Superman/Batman would get cut, as decided by a poll beforehand.
  3. Third option is pretty straightforward: Everything gets in the mix, regardless of the aformentioned partial-repeat factor.


I'll leave the decision up to you.

As for nominations, they are still open for a few hours, so make sure you get your most wanteds in: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/78831031 If my math is right, we are currently at 83 supported entries and 99 single entries!

The next few days will be dedicated to bracket-making, so I hope I don't mess anything up while working on it on the site. Wish me well!

Also, there seems to be a problem. I want this to be a big contest, but I didn't contemplate the actual number of entries we would have. 128 is a little too far right now, but 64 would be way too low imo.

Is 128 the most reasonable number to look after? If so, I may extend the nomination deadline and noms-per-user limit.

Stick with 64 unless you want to run some sort of protracted vote-ins IMO. You've already about maxed out the nomination interest as is, and I bet a pretty decent chunk of those who did offer nominations won't come back for more regardless. If you do bump the count up to 128, I recommend allowing each nominator to second one of their choices in addition to increasing the nom cap.

As for the poll, 3 > 1 > 2. We should be looking to fix Allen's mistakes, not compound them.

Thanks for your advice, @MetalmindStats . The result was really positive.

But you all know what this means... We have to cut 10 entries from the list. Though... I'm not entirely sure how to do it. This is where random.org comes in, right? I'm new to the protocol.

As I admitted in the nomination topic, you were right to go for 128 despite my suggestion otherwise!

Anyways, I think I prefer Drak's save-my proposal. random.org could work, but feels a tad too arbitrary for my tastes.

Great.

Then I would be hosting the Save My of the 64 entrants with 2-seeds at stake.

Expect the topic tomorrow at 4:00 PM EST. Unless I change my mind, I think 3 saves per user every hour + 2 saves per entrant will be the way to go.

Less than that. I just noticed that you missed all my last-minute doubles and nominations from the noms topic (post #142), so the following should all be in at 3 noms:
  • Thor vs. Loki (Marvel)
  • yoblazer vs. Shin Megami Tensei
  • Sonic the Hedgehog vs. Knuckles the Echidna
  • Left Pong Paddle vs. Right Pong Paddle
  • Dracula vs. The Wolfman
  • Luke Skywalker vs. Darth Vader

Hey guys, I need a little bit of context regarding Dante vs. Kirby. It's the only rivalry I don't know a thing about (well, at least regarding proper namings). Is Dante a B8er?

Also, I'm minimizing the use of parenthetical clarification, but those will be added for each of the 128 entries once the contest goes live.

Ertyu loves Dante and hates Kirby and would always tease a Dante vs Kirby ertyu show video. I think he's also made several drawings of Dante killing Kirby.

He would also harass the Smash Ultimate board saying "what ever kirby fans dante well never be in this game get life get job".

I moved a few things around in order to specifically rig a legendary match to happen, but other than that, everything stayed mostly the same as with the original seeding. It also helps that having only 2 or 3 nominations can give you freedom to move those among the field without messing things too much.

You can make predix now. Contest starts Monday at the latest.

Alright, so, important announcement:

  • Starting on Monday, each match will feature a simple image (or a pair of images) for each rivalry.
  • Additionally, every rivalry will feature a brief summary to make it cooler.
If anyone wants to volunteer, be it by selecting certain images/picsmithing them, or wanting to express a few words in a particular rivalry, they're totally welcome. Otherwise, I'll try to do them justice, though keep in mind that I naturally may be unfamiliar with some of them, so helping hands are always appreciated.

I want this contest to be inclusive for all Board 8ers, that's why it's "Board 8 Edition".

Guys! Today's the big day!

Every now and then, I'll be posting a featured rivalry not included in the bracket in order to give it some exposure. If there's a rivalry you think people should know of, and you'd like to write some words on it, PM me and it'll be featured later on.

I'm thinking of featuring one once a week, but if demand is high, I'll post a different one every few days.

Results:

SBAllen vs. Jane Eyre > Gryffindor vs. Slytherin, 8-6
Star Wars vs. Star Trek > Celtics vs. Lakers, 12-3

Day 1 has spoken.

We almost literally saw the 128-seed upsetting the overall 1-seed, so this really speaks volumes that anything can happen.

I think I've seen this film before, and I didn't like the ending.
You're not my homeland anymore, so what am I defending now?

Oh, right, about that particular match, I'm going to need someone to make a write-up since I have no idea what's up with those two.

Corrik kept trolling se7en, which led to se7en making a Top 1000 GameFAQs users of all time ranking to spite Corrik's joke User of the Year contest. It took se7en a long time to get through that ranking and Corrik trolled him throughout much of it with se7en often responding in hilarious fashion. Others might have more details.

Wow... I just found a super cool image for Kim vs. Shego and I'm here like: "Why didn't I watch Kim Possible when I was a kid? This looks SO COOL!".

I hope I do it justice with a good write-up.

Yeah that's pretty much the long and short of it.

Corrik used to troll, and se7en used to bite.

Fun fact: I ended up 22nd on his top 1000 users lol

Results Day 2:

Brown vs. The Board of Education > Batman vs. The Joker, 11-7
The Kid vs. The Guy < Dexter vs. Mandark, 5-11

The court case managed to beat what's arguably the most popular superhero rivalry. Very interesting...
Meanwhile, the geniuses' rivalry moves forward with relative ease.

In The Show, he complains about getting a bunch of matches involving SMT wrong (including Persona as SMT; in fact it might just be Persona really lol)
