Oh, I completely misunderstood your post.

...But then I don't get the point of trying to get behind somebody that isn't an autofill just because they're not an autofill. Like, the autofills aren't locks or anything, and the non-autofills pretty much have 0 chance of doing anything but losing in the first round.

It'd be more wise to get behind one of the autofills that isn't a lock.

Yeah, the auto-fills don't mean nothing, but they don't mean what is and isn't getting in.

I posted this in another topic, I think it's a pretty solid theory.

Something interesting I noticed - the initial list includes almost every character that made the bracket in 2013, with a small handful of exceptions (stuff like Magikarp that was obviously added in well under the nomination threshold), but contains some characters who have never even touched a character battle or haven't been in in years, yet doesn't include every character that has ever made the field. Additionally, it doesn't look like it includes any characters that debuted after the last contest; those are all in the first update. Seems to me like the initial list was pulled directly from the 2013 nominations, which gives us a glimpse into some of the "close but no cigar" nominations from that year.
