8 out of 11 top performers form last round made it through, no surprises. Almost every mid-carder made it through, which was surprising. Only one who did not? Aragorn. Half the low-cards are ousted and almost every wildcard form last round got cut. On the other side of the fence, Darth takes his 3rd 1st place finish. He is a heavy favorite to win, but Board 8 hates heavy favorites as past contests have shown (Magneto and Tyrion winning were surprising at the time). Han Solo stays in the top, we might have a Han versus Vader final if this keeps up. Hermione gets another 3rd place and Bowser (a two time Top 10er) get another 4th place. Scar (another previous Top 10er) rounds out 5th tying Yoshi. Luke, Chewy, and Obi keep Star Wars representation very stable. Jesse Custer and Edgar Figaro are now the tournament's biggest underdogs. But Link and Ariel are the only two characters remaining with two Wildcard wins. Belle, Winnie, Gandalf, and Indiana have yet to finish in the top of any Round in any format, yet they make the Top 24.

Who finished 25th?
Iron Man! Officially having the highest score of the Wildcard contenders.

Here is a more simplified list of the Top 24!

Next round will start at 5PM ET about right on the dot.

It will be a Save My format. The round will not last 24 hours, but rather until there only two characters left to save, and thus are eliminated.

Please be ready for the round if you plan to participate! Save trading will be allowed, but no alts. It will take 44 save posts to complete the round so this one will go quickly by Save My terms (I'm guessing 3ish hours).

Expect one Save My round to go up once a day between 4-6PM ET.
---

...And I thought this was cool, just to see how big of a favorite some characters are or how much of a longshot. I made a formula for characters previous finishes and calculated how well each has been doing compared to the other. This is the overall standings so far based on all other rounds...

1st. Darth Vader (Star Wars) - 40 points
1st. Hermione Granger (Harry Potter) - 40 points
------
3rd. Han Solo (Star Wars) - 31 points
4th. Bowser (Mario) - 28 points
4th. Yoshi (Mario) - 28 points
------
6th. Chewbacca (Star Wars) - 24 points
7th. Luke Skywalker (Star Wars) - 23 points
7th. Spiderman (Marvel Comics) - 23 points
9th. Scar (Lion King) - 21 points
9th. Snoopy (Peanuts) - 21 points
11th. Batman (DC Comics) - 20 points
------
12th. Professor Snape (Harry Potter) - 18 points
13th. James Bond (James Bond) - 17 points
14th. Mario (Mario) - 16 points
14th. Obi Wan Kenobi (Star Wars) - 16 points
16th. Indiana Jones (Indiana Jones) - 14 points
16th. Jaime Lannister (Game of Thrones)- 14 points
------
18th. Jesse Custer (Preacher) - 12 points
18th. Belle (Beauty and the Beast) - 12 points
18th. Edgar Figaro (Final Fantasy VI) - 12 points
21st. Gandalf (Lord of the Rings) - 11 points
21st. Ariel (Little Mermaid) - 11 points
21st. Winnie the Pooh (Winnie the Pooh) - 11 points
21st. Link (Zelda) - 11 points

As you can see, Vader and Hermione are very clear favorites. Having them lose before the Top 10 would be extremely surprising, but not at all impossible. Solo, Bowser, and Yoshi have all shown the same amount of strength and are clear second tier characters to win it all (which honestly makes them the true favorites).
The next tier down belongs to Chewy, Luke, Spiderman, Scar, Snoopy, and Batman. If any of those guys won it all at this point we couldn't consider it much of an upset. However, if the next tier down wins (Snape, Bond, Mario, Obi, Indiana, and Jaime) we have an official upset winner on our hands. And finally, the last seven characters on the list are all about equal strength to each other and all are likely just coming along for the ride at this point. Anything inside the Top 10 will be wonderful for them.
---

Couple last things of note that I always like to point out...

- Hermione, Ariel, and Belle are the three strongest, and only remaining, female fictional characters!
- Star Wars has a total of 5 characters left! (Chewy, Luke, Vader, Obi, Solo)
- Mario has 3 characters left! (Mario, Yoshi, Bowser)
- ...but there are 5 video game characters left (with Link and Edgar) (Edgar is the only non-Nintendo character left)
- Harry Potter is the only other multi character series with 2 left. (Hermione and Snape)
- There are 3 superheroes left. (Spiderman, Batman, Custer)
- There are only three villains left (Vader, Scar, Bowser)
- Not including Star Wars or Marvel there are 4 Disney characters left (Winnie, Scar, Ariel, Belle)
- 13 of the 24 characters are primarily drawn or animated. Eleven are live action or book based.
- 18 of the 24 characters appear human while only 6 are animals or other creatures.

In the Top 24 There Are...
3 Jedi/Sith
3 wizards
3 superheroes
2 space pirates
2 reptile like creatures
2 princesses
1 lion
1 bear
1 dog
1 knight
1 master engineer
1 special agent
1 plumber
1 silent protagonist
1 archaeologist

One more Save My round to go!!

It will begin tomorrow at 5:30PM ET. I have a wonky work schedule tomorrow, so maybe later, but if so I will be sure to keep everyone posted on the exact time.
---

Back! Thankfully out of the consequential Save My characters, only Luke fell. I'd be happy if eight or nine of the remaining people won.
---

Have any of the remaining characters won before?

Magneto and Tyrion Lannister won the only two iterations so no.
---

There is a LOT of new blood this year (though its been three years since the last contest so that's expected).

Let's see...
Characters left who have seen the Top 10 before include Bowser...and Yoshi. That's it.

Vader has never made it that far (going out twice int he Save My rounds, lol). Obi Wan has made it to Save Mys too. This is the furthest Luke or Chewy or Solo have been ever.

Batman, Snape, Spiderman, and Scar were all previous Top 10ers but they're gone now.

Top 20 or so...Belle has been here, Mario and Winnie have been here too.

Everyone else is brand new.
---

Round today will be 6:30pm ET. Had a hold up at work, as expected.
---

Pains me to say this, but if I put a round up today its be at like 8pm ET. I wouldn't be able to tally or stay up late.

No round today guys. Look for one tomorrow at 530 pm ET.
---

No problem, thanks for the heads up.

No round?

Round today at 7:45pm ET.

What are the rules for the next round?

Next round eliminates 6 more characters to bring us to our Top 10. The name of the round is "Who Doesn't Belong?". Groups of 4, allocate negative points to the one character that doesn't belong.

Rounds are back to the 24 hour format too. Round will start around 6:30.
---

Hmm, that's probably it for my top two characters with those rules.

Hermione becomes the number one favorite after a strong Save My Round, but Vader stays in second by a wide margin. Yoshi moves into third overall in front of Solo Bowser and Chewbacca get the same place but Snoopy moves up two spots overall. Anybody in the first two tier has a great shot at winning. But it is not guaranteed of course. Mario, Belle, and Jesse jump way up the leader board. This format was their exact strength. Link, Winnie, and Gandalf are on life support heading into the sweet 16. But hey, a top 16 finish is an awesome accomplishment.

Results Round 6:
Who Doesn't Belong Group 1
-50 Hermione Granger (Harry Potter)
-110 Gandalf (Lord of the Rings)
-------
-130 Jesse Custer (Preacher)
-------
-150 Mario (Mario)

Congrats to Hermione and Gandalf on making the Top 10! Jesse isn't done yet, and has a Wildcard Round to fight through. Mama mia! Mario falls into a lava river and his contest run comes to an end.

Who Doesn't Belong Group 2
-40 Darth Vader (Star Wars)
-90 Snoopy (Peanuts)
-------
-140 Belle (Beauty and the Beast)
-------
-160 Winnie the Pooh (Winnie the Pooh)

Congrats to Vader and Snoopy on mkaing the Top 10! Belle is into the wildcard round while Pooh falls out of Board 8's graces.

Who Doesn't Belong Group 3
-70 Obi Wan Kenobi (Star Wars)
-90 Link (Zelda)
-------
-110 Chewbacca (Star Wars)
-------
-130 Yoshi (Mario)

Kenobi and Link will rep the Top 10 as well. Yoshi, who had a wonderful run in the contest up to this point, with scores suggesting he might take third, is now gone! Chewbacca takes the Wildcards.

Who Doesn't Belong Group 4
-30 Bowser (Mario)
-60 Han Solo (Star Wars)
-------
-160 Edgar Figaro (Final Fantasy VI)
-------
-160 Jaime Lannister (Game of Thrones)

Bowser gets the best score this round and marches to the Top 10 with Solo. Edgar keeps his underdog status and goes to the Wildcards after edging Jaime out of the contest (who got all -20's while Edgar got a handful of -10's).
---

This is honestly the best possible set of scores that could have happened.

-110 Edgar Figaro (Final Fantasy VI)

Well Chewbacca did very well. In fact, I was the only one to negative vote him. So he makes the Top 10 easy peasy. On to the exciting part, Jesse Custer NARROWLY edges out Belle for a spot int he Top 10 by receiving only 3 -20 votes to Belle's 4. Edgar even did very very well and only lost by a small margin. Valiant fight all around. Belle gets 11th and Edgar finishes with a very respectable 12th place.

There's some clear tiers in the Top 10. The two heavy favorites, as they have been for the past 4 rounds, are Hermione and Darth Vader. Odds are one of them win this whole thing. If another is going to win though, it might be Bowser or Solo, who have about equal strength but Bowser is favored. Chewbacca and Snoopy are the next tier down. It sounds weird to say, but Obi Wan has the same general strength as Jesse Custer, who has had an absolute miracle run thus far. Link and Gandalf round out the Top 10. Those two hope to break the Top 5, but thier chances of winning the whole contest are very low.

One more Round to go!!!! It will start later this afternoon.
---

- Hermione is the only remaining female fictional character! No matter what, she is the Most Excellent Female Character.
- Star Wars has a total of 4 characters left! (Chewy, Vader, Obi, Solo)
- There is only 2 video game characters left
- There are only two villains left (Vader, Bowser)
- Not including Star Wars or Marvel, Disney has been completely eliminated from the contest. This is the first time EVER that has happened before the Top 10.
- 4 of the 10 characters are primarily drawn or animated. Six are live action or book based.
- 7 of the 10 characters appear human while only 3 are animals or other creatures.
---

Just you watch Gandalf pull out the winning performance precisely when he needs to.
---

Fuck everyone who anti-voted Belle. The user whose named after the fucking random comic book character didn't event vote this round and he still advanced. Fuck off. 4 Star Wars characters overkill central.


Why the fuck do the people who save Belle in Disney antivote her here btw?
---

P.S. when you talk about chances of winning, it all depends on the format. Who knows who will have the advantage on a certain format.
---

P.P.S for such a Disney-heavy board, no reps in the top 10....ouch.
---

Only one character left I would be content with winning...
---

aww yeah Jesse

for what it's worth (probably not much), my last Belle antivote wasn't actually "about" Belle -- I really wanted Jesse to advance after Tsunami threw his tantrum in the previous topic

I actually wanted to antivote Chewbacca but there was no chance on that one
---

Day 1 of 4 Results
Final Round Group 1
8 Bowser (Mario)
7 Link (Zelda)

7 Chewbacca (Star Wars)
8 Obi Wan Kenobi (Star Wars)

Bowser comes from 5 back to top Link with the last handful of votes. Obi Wan mounted a comeback as well, Chewy was up on him until the very end.

Final Round Group 2
7 Han Solo (Star Wars)
6 Gandalf (Lord of the Rings)

9 Snoopy (Peanuts)
6 Jesse Custer (Preacher)

Solo gets a much close match from Gandalf than he would have liked while Snoopy takes down Custer for an opening win.

Who Doesn't Belong Group 1
-20 Chewbacca (Star Wars)
-100 Jesse Custer (Preacher) Three -20's
--------
-100 Belle (Beauty and the Beast) Four -20's
-110 Edgar Figaro (Final Fantasy VI)

Well Chewbacca did very well. In fact, I was the only one to negative vote him. So he makes the Top 10 easy peasy. On to the exciting part, Jesse Custer NARROWLY edges out Belle for a spot int he Top 10 by receiving only 3 -20 votes to Belle's 4. Edgar even did very very well and only lost by a small margin. Valiant fight all around. Belle gets 11th and Edgar finishes with a very respectable 12th place.

Mother fucker. Edgar would've survived if I'd voted this round. Probably. I might've -10'd Chewie instead of Belle. Actually no I wouldn't have even risked a -10.

...Wait, there were 500 to start? ...Still doesn't belong in the field, but I figured it'd be something like 256. Even I can't go through with my planned "you could double the field size and this thing still wouldn't belong in" rant, even if I do think it was just pulled out of someone's ass.

Results Day 2 out of 4:
Final Round Day 2 Group 1
3 Chewbacca (Star Wars)
12 Hermione Granger (Harry Potter)

7 Obi Wan Kenobi (Star Wars)
8 Link (Zelda)

Final Round Day 2 Group 2
5 Snoopy (Peanuts)
10 Gandalf (Lord of the Rings)

14 Darth Vader (Star Wars)
1 Jesse Custer (Preacher)

Hermione and Vader make their opponents look silly with very strong opening acts. Kenobi loses a very hotly contested match with Link and Gandalf might be way stronger than I first thought after having two pretty great first performances.
