Over the course of 12 years (with multiple hiatuses), and after 1415 rounds, we have had 128 characters receive 100% yes votes. I figure that's a great number for a tournament. Seeding for this bracket was determined by # of votes received.

https://challonge.com/dyltc

The tournament should start in a few days. I'll probably do 4 matches per day for the most part, but I might do 8 matches for the first round.

I see a few I would've given Nos to if I saw their days.

But also a few I'm impressed managed to do it.

I noticed predictions werent turned on, but its now fixed. Is it better to be set to points increase exponentially, or points increase linearly?

Prince of Persia > Willy Wonka

Vito Corleone > Andrew Ryan (pretty much my real finals, first half was stacked)

Oh wow, several characters on here that I know for a fact or assume came up through my user poll. I suspect without looking at the specific and theoretical matchups that Agent 47 will fare better than Sly, Jade, and Sam & Max.

Wow this is a neat idea for a contest. Plenty of characters that I'm surprised got 100% but I assume some of them were low votal apathy days. Fewer VG characters than I'd expect for this board, too!

We talked about this a couple years ago during a LOST ranking topic... it's less sexism on the part of the consumer than it is the male-dominated writing industry not knowing how to write female characters.

I think there's also an undercurrent societal sexism to it, too - if women show their emotions, they're called "weak." We know that's not true - weak people let their emotions control them, but you can be both strong and emotional. We have seen these ridiculous hypocrisies on Survivor on the regular. People are more judgy of women than they are of men.

What fuels this is probably all those male writers in Disneywood displaying what's supposed to make a woman "strong" vs. "weak" and that leads people to believe those as reality. All it does is perpetuate sexist stereotypes. And that's not fair.

I pistol whipped the hell outta that bracket. I got the Breaking Bad Boys at #1 and #2 although I think Alucard, Calvin and some others have a great shot. No matter what the winner is I think I'll be happy (which makes sense considering the theme here)

IMO Ron fell off in the later seasons of Parks (like most of the cast) when they made him a wise sage dispensing life advice, but I'm guessing his poll was done pretty early in the show's run.

I'm surprised Walter White got 100%. Personal opinions aside, I thought he'd be more likely to get some pushback especially when people like Gus and Mike aren't here.

Walter White was done too early into the shows run. Hes a low seed because he only received 10 votes. Jesses round was later, which is why he has 40 votes.

I don't know many characters in the contest, so I can't make a favorites bracket, but I'll say that I'm hoping for a Spike vs Alucard vampire fight lol

I'm glad I'm not the only one that mentioned this. I was looking through the bracket again, I'm lucky if I know maybe a quarter of the characters. And a good handful of those are just passive knowledge of their existence. I guess I'm not watching the right tv shows.

Same here. I made a bracket anyway, and if there's someone I haven't heard of, I don't take them very far. Hopefully others haven't heard of them either.

Let it never be said that I am not a true DYLTC fan. I made a duplicate "tournament" on Challonge just so I can track the score of my dumb favorites bracket.

https://challonge.com/tournaments/11700893/predictions/801179

I'll list my results for the quarterfinals on, like everyone else did.

David Xanatos > Jafar
The Shredder > Ender Wiggin
Bilbo Baggins > Yusuke Urameshi
Vanessa Doofenshmirtz > Haymitch Abernathy

The Shredder > David Xanatos (the true finals)
Bilbo Baggins > Vanessa Doofenshmirtz
