That would happen if a) the original match was super close b) there's a rally or rally spillover that affects future matches But what about if the results of the first match causes the rally? If not Link in the finals, consider it for one of those early top 16 matches. Like, imagine Pikachu manages to get the better of Mega Man, and then gets trounced by Link. Mega Man takes care of, say, Vivi, and then squares off against Pikachu again. I could see the board coming out and defending him against Pokefear. OR, if it goes the other way and MM wins the first one, I could see the registered users riding in support the rat. Maybe a better version would be if Sans actually pulls together some strength and wins his division. Sans vs Sonic might result in a rally deciding the first match, and then the board rearing up for the rematch, or the site dumpstering Sans and then a rally mounts after that to keep him alive. One more variation: Snake could lose to Mario, and then rise up to win in the rematch because people would rather see him in the finals than another Link/Mario SFF-fest. Especially if Mario loses in the WB finals. I dunno. At the very least, this possibility of the door swinging the other way on the rematch simply because the voters remember the first results and are responding to it is reason enough for me to want to tiptoe around those LB matches very carefully. --- Video Game Music Contest 12 winner: Ys 8 - Sunshine Coastline <cite>azuarc posted [p:909928410] in Character ...

I mean youve allowed non-characters (L Block), game versions of a real person (Hitler) and characters who didnt originate from video games to be in character contests so could we please get characters who have actual legit good games and stuff now like Batman? Kinda stupid his games are allowed to be in Best Game contests, but the character is banned from character contests. A lot of us would love to see the field opened up to anybody who has been in a video game. I just dont really get why some characters are allowed even if theyre not even remotely close to being a character at all. It makes it feel like the rules/eligibility are just whatever you feel like at the time because theres no real consistency to what is or isnt allowed. <cite>swordz9 posted [p:910075686] in Character ...

Spider-Man would probably need lots of outside votes to win still and if the doors were open to everybody he might not even go far at all.

xp1337 10/07/18 12:45:22 AM #144:	azuarc posted... So I just looked at the point breakdown on the bracket for the first time. I noticed it's 8 points throughout the late stages of the bracket...and then it's SEVENTY-SIX for the finals. Is that a typo? Was that supposed to be 16? Because I'm really struggling to come up with a plausible explanation for why 76. Seems like all that does it make people who mavericking on someone other than Link winning rise to the top. Uh, the Winners Bracket doubles points each round. The WB Finals is 64 points. Loser Bracket is 8 points all round. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? <cite>xp1337 posted [p:910096795] in Character ...

Team Rocket Elite 10/07/18 12:48:56 AM #145:	The Grand Final has its own strange point amount. It is not double the winners finals.

Right, I get that, but azuarc's post implies he thinks that all the preceding rounds are stuck at 8 points. That's only true for the Loser Bracket.

azuarc 10/07/18 9:07:46 PM #150:	azuarc did not scroll up before making that comment, and made the horrible assumption that LB and WB would carry equal weight. That is, also, a really odd decision on Allen's part, imo. I understand why capping matches at a certain point value might make sense, but to do it on one bracket and not the other does not. --- Video Game Music Contest 12 winner: Ys 8 - Sunshine Coastline <cite>azuarc posted [p:910142648] in Character ...
