I only played Wings of Liberty, but I give it a 1 for Nanis reasons. It's such a disservice to what they had built in StarCraft: Brood War. I was very confused when the game opened with Raynor trying to convert her and extremely pissed by the end when he succeeded. The Brood War quote where he claims he's gonna be the one to kill her is one of my favorites and to act like he never even said that was offensive to me.

Kerrigan should be irredeemable. But from what I know about the rest of the story, she becomes the savior of the universe. Fuck that noise.

There's no way they aren't announcing Persona 6 in the next year and I'm appropriately hyped. If they remaster/remake 3 FES or portable and remake 2, that'll be amazing too.

Bowser had a wicked good round. He finished with an average vote score of ~7.6. He had six +10 votes, and a whopping thirteen +9 votes. Just as impressive is he had zero +1 votes. I'm not sure anybody is going to top his score this round.

Dancing On My Own is so great. Not trying to be one of those "covers are never as good as the original" prudes, but when that piano cover, by someone whose name is Callum Scott I think, was popular on the radio, it sounded so wrong. This song needs to be dance-y because that's the damn point of it.

Thank you for the kind words. I appreciate them. Characters have definitely been a better subject matter for this kind of contest plus I've been more organized this time around, so it's been a little smoother and thus more fun to run.

I'll be posting the groups soon. In my opinion there are a couple of doozies, so be prepared.

I'll be drawing the groups soon. If you want to watch the process live, I'll be posting the groups as they form in the contests tab in the board 8 discord. Once all the groups are drawn, I'll post them here.

Let's look at how the seeds held up:

2v7: Two seeds won 19/20 times.
--Losers: Garrus (by tiebreaker)

3v7: Three seeds won 15/20 times.
--Losers: Mewtwo (by 3), Edith Finch (by 16), Kaine (by 1), Delita Hyral (by 2), and Proto Man (by 25)

4v5: Four seeds won 12/20 times.
--Losers: James Sunderland (by 14), Jessie (by 32), Little Mac (by 8), Edgar Figaro (by 16), Balthier (by 30), Cuphead (by tiebreaker), Wario (by 2), and Hades (Hades) (by 44).

So in total the higher seeded character won a little over 75% of the time. The two and three seeds won 85% of the time. I'll take that. That's enough variance for Round 2 to have the heavy hitter characters advance but not be a completely predictable slog. I'd run through the average margin of victory for each seed matchups, but I don't have the time at the moment.

The average user vote totals was 35-36, so that's pleasing. Thanks to all who are participating and I hope you continue to do so even as some of your favorite characters inevitably get knocked out as we move forward.

I don't really want to give a rating because I don't want to try and justify to myself a score, but I will just say I was satisfied by the ending and given the scope and situation of the story, that impresses me a lot.

Hey man thanks for sharing your story and I hope things get better. Grit and determination are assets themselves and you seem to have a lot of it even though you feel like your supply is dwindling. If this community can be a source of support or reprieve in any way, that's wonderful.
