From: vcharon | #050 Right, and those types of matches used to be special and something to look forward to. Now it will just be overkill on them and the interest just won't be there. I'm not sure I understand you. The randomized conferences had plenty of "strong vs weak" matchups. We've had conferences where one or two characters/games dominate everyone as predicted. I wouldn't call that special or something to look forward to.
But in this scenario, you get hectic battles for supremacy in conferences like Smash Bros. and Metal Gear ACE, while smaller fish get a chance to shine in conferences like Shadow Bombplex and Tales of Democracy, Ho! And there's also some interesting midcard/wildcard battles in conferences like No-Life 2: Effect 3 and Nintendo Power.
There are still plenty of matches to look forward to.

Oh.
I think I liked randomized better <_<.
Far superior; this way will be extremely predictable when the conference schedule rolls around. Woohoo, exciting... SFF matches galore.Actually, matches between same series/company characters of similar strength tend to be good matches (in past NCAAs). The blowouts come from strength gaps, and you already expect one to win easily over the other in such scenarios.

Characters are grouped together this year based on similarity, not randomized. That's how conferences like Smash Bros exist.

Day 3 Results
6 - Crimson Viper (Street Fighter, In-Conference DLC) (0-1) 16.7% 30 - Nathan Drake (Uncharted, Playstation All-Stars) (1-0) 83.3%
Look out, world! Nathan Drake is here to rock you like a hurricane!
24 - #5 Miles Edgeworth (Ace Attorney, Metal Gear ACE) (1-0) 58.5% 17 - Captain Falcon (F-Zero, Smash Bros) (0-1) 41.5%
Captain Falcon was successfully prosecuted for property damage via Falcon Punch.
15 - Tidus (Final Fantasy X, Playstation All-Stars) (0-1) 40.5% 22 - #20 Commander Shepherd (Mass Effect, No-Life 2: Effect 3) (1-0) 59.5%
Second half voters overwhelmingly push Shepard over Tidus in this battle of gender ambiguity.
25 - Magus (Chrono Trigger, Ye Olde Squaresoft) (1-0) 71.4% 10 - Recette Lemongrass (Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale, Tales of Democracy, Ho!) (0-1) 28.6%
Recette is used to selling items to help RPG characters. She's not going to do well with that mindset.
25 - Sephiroth (Final Fantasy VII, Ye Olde Squaresoft) (1-0) 64.1% 14 - Pablo Sanchez (Backyard Baseball, Tales of Democracy, Ho!) (0-1) 35.9%
It was a bit unfair that Sephiroth could use his sword to hit any pitch out of the park.
21 - Cecil Harvey (Final Fantasy IV, Ye Olde Squaresoft) (1-0) 55.3% 17 - Pyramid Head (Silent Hill, In-Conference DLC) (0-1) 44.7%
I got nothing.
9 - Travis Touchdown (No More Heroes, Shadow Bombplex) (0-1) 23.1% 30 - #11 Samus Aran (Metroid, Smash Bros) (1-0) 76.9%
This match was tied at 5. Then Samus got to work and scored several touchdowns.
21 - Blastoise (Pokemon, Nintendo Power) (1-0) 51.2% 20 - #19 Zero (Mega Man X, In-Conference DLC) (0-1) 48.8%
This last second upset is going to cause an Uproar.
19 - Naoto Shirogane (Persona 4, Shadow Bombplex) (0-1) 48.7% 20 - Falco Lombardi (Star Fox, Smash Bros) (1-0) 51.3%
Falco had to be bailed out at the last moment to avoid losing to a Shadow Bombplex character. His Smash Bros future will be painful.
10 - Jake Peril (Lode Runner, Game Jumping) (0-1) 29.4% 24 - Fang (Final Fantasy XIII, Playstation All-Stars) (1-0) 70.6%
Perhaps the biggest surprise is that Jake Peril managed to get double-digit votes. That was a rare occurrence in his last NCAA appearance.

And with that, the conferences! (Names are preliminary, feel free to suggest better ones.)
Smash Bros. Mario Luigi Bowser Kirby Ike Griel Samus Aran Yoshi Falco Lombardi Fox McCloud Link Donkey Kong Captain Falcon
Just like old times! Nintendo's best are ready to duke it out, but this time, supremacy of one of the two strongest conferences is at stake!
Metal Gear ACE Solid Snake Big Boss Revolver Ocelot The Boss Raiden Sniper Wolf Phoenix Wright Miles Edgeworth Dick Gumshoe Kay Faraday Maya Fey Manfred von Karma
Two series with six characters each. Both featuring drama and hilarity. They go quite well together, and it will be a heck of a show.
Ye Olde Squaresoft Kefka Palazzo Cloud of Darkness (FF3) Frog Cecil Harvey Dad Magus Rydia of Mist Cloud Strife Zack Fair Sephiroth Ramza Beoulve Delita Hyrial
Can you believe FF7 and FFT were released in the 1990s? Makes you feel old, doesn't it?
Playstation All-Stars Vivi Orunitia Lightning Rikku Tidus Squall Leonhart Auron Sora Fang Nathan Drake Ezio Auditore da Firenze Victor Sullivan Kratos (GoW)
Newer Final Fantasy characters take on a challenge from the Uncharted duo and a powerful killing machine. (Oh and Kratos too.)
Shadow Bombplex Yu Narukami Kanji Tatsumi Chie Satonaka Naoto Shirogane Mitsuru Kirijo Laharl Etna Prinny Catherine Rin Tohsaka Bomberman Travis Touchdown
The Persona and Disgaea group were having a party, but then Bomberman barged in, looking to claim victory over even more Persona characters.
Tales of Democracy, Ho! Yuri Lowell (ToV) Shulk (Xenoblade) Dunban (Xenoblade) Rita Mordio (ToV) Vyse the Legend Ghaleon Pascal (ToG) Recette Lemongrass Alicia Melchiott (VC) Pablo Sanchez (Backyard Baseball) Manny Calavera Guybrush Threepwood
An eclectic mix of JRPG contestants, point and click adventure heroes, and one of the biggest stars in video game sports. What more could you ask for?
No-Life 2: Effect 3 Garrus Vakarian Mordin Solus Tali'Zorah Urdnot Wrex Commander Shepherd Wheatley GLaDOS Spy (TF2) Jimmy Hopkins (Bully) John Marston (RDR) Max Payne Tommy Vercetti
Three giants of Western gaming come together for a new-school showdown!
Game Jumping Sly Cooper Crash Bandicoot Dr. Nefarious Sonic Tails Knuckles Prince of Persia Banjo Captain Qwark Shadow the Hedgehog Toad Jake Peril
It's platforming bliss! Who will complete the speedrun to the final goal? (Tool-Assisted allowed, but frowned upon.)
In-Conference DLC
Mega Man (3) Morrigan Aensland (5) Crimson Viper (2) Mike Haggar (2) Cammy (2) Felicia (2) Zero (2) Missile (GT) (3) Leon Kennedy (2) Amaterasu (1) Heihachi Mishima (Tekken) (2) Pyramid Head (Silent Hill) (2)
When asked why Heihachi and Pyramid Head weren't available initially during conference re-creation, Capcom cited the ease of delivery to gamers.
Nintendo Power Kingler N Eevee Blastoise Professor Oak Blue/Green Oak Pikachu Mewtwo Charizard Mr. G&W Kyle Hyde Professor Layton
Of course Nintendo gets two whole conferences to itself. You nominated it that way!

Initially, I wanted to replicate the first NCAA Characters and have game-related conferences of various sizes. But I realized that scheduling it properly was going to take a while, and I didn't want to keep you waiting. So I've compromised. There will be 10 conferences of 12 characters each. Most of the characters are in conferences with characters from their game/series/company. Those without a good match look a bit out of place, but I tried to make it work the best I could.

I am constantly amazed at the number of tiny gaming sites. I have no idea how there is a market for all of them.
