It couldn't have mercied anyway unless we'd seen an absolutely crazy amount of votes, well in excess of the usual cutoff. First, because it never hit 15-0 or 16-1, second, because discussion means no mercy. I might be inclined to bend the rule a little if we saw something like 30-0, but not when it hasn't even hit the cutoff.

We've got up to five matches that might potentially turn out to be excellent. Wait and see of course, but I have faith in them.


which are you particularly excited for?

Smith/LuLuLly, Aang/Red, Yuki/Lagann. Each of them operates at a different power level and offers us a different kind of battle. Akemi/Ness has a chance to be good too, and 'maybe' Negi/Goku could provide some entertainment too.

He has a Pikachu that is pretty much as hax as the anime pikachu...and five other badass pokeymanz backing it. He's also not afraid to send them out to brawl either. Red is no joke against a guy like Aang. I could say more but I'll save it for the match because I don't wanna spoil the clash.

I don't know, I'm pretty sure Lelouch/Smith is going to be a stomp also. Lelouch is invincible to damage, and his showings of invincibility are against everything Smith can do.

Smith also has his Buu like absorption hax though. Plus he himself is also tanky as ****.

Don't think we have, and I'm not sure how to rule for that. We actually had a character like him in the nomination process, Dread Wulgaru, and I was going to ask his main nominator about what would be most fair to do if he got in as he went from tough normal human to reality warping god depending on the setting.

It seems to make sense as far as Freddy goes, since he's never going to be running around in the real world at all unless he's forced to. His tactic is just about always 'Kill time till the person passes out'

Honestly, rather than her reality warping, Yuki's "exist outside reality" thing has probably been the deciding factor in most her big matches. Off the top of my head, it's what saved her against Sarda too. Thanks entirely to this one page of 8-Bit:

So since it's come up in the current match, let's get some arguments on this whole issue of characters having things carry over based on their previous matches. I'm opposed to it because it defeats the purpose of MPFC as I see it, which is to take the characters as they are in their source material, by changing the characters into "source material plus stuff from prior matches". If prior matches count for these characters, it makes a huge difference, and having Ganon be the only one to gain makes no sense, because he's not a special case - having him gain abilities between rounds was something he did in the source, but MPFC is not his origin.

With GANON's victory over Buu, he is entitled to pick one spell or item from his opponent. Remember that innate abilities are a no-go though!

Still curious as to why one character and one character only (what a shock that it's someone popular that gets the exception!) gets to have the rules changed so they don't have to be based on their source material anymore.

I think one way to mitigate the issue is strike it at the source. For the next MPFC nomination topic, we should allow people to anti-nominate certain characters that they just don't want to see in (The cost of doing so being, say, 3 positive nominations)

That really has nothing to do with ganon there. Most already assumed ganon had that power in the first place. F any had a problem they had a clear question and answer before any match started. Hell before the bracket. Far as I'm concerned I like that idea. If a character has the ability to take something from a defeated enemy its more fun to see them evolve than be the same stale one. And really, fun is the only way you could justify the way this contest even was in the first place. Its effectively a popularity contest with arguments that may or may not sway anything. Anyone whining about anon didn't se that in the first place

Maybe next year. I've learned a lot of lessons from this contest and the next one will be better than this one was.

(That said, there will never be antinoms as long as I am still at all interested in these topics. The idea is bad and you should feel bad for even thinking about it.)

Also in the case of GANON, he's allowed to break the regular rules because everything takes place on b8 and he's an ongoing character. He's never NOT been capable of taking spells from anyone he beats in a one on one b8 topic fight.

Hell, that's the only consistent non-interp thing for him aside from the name!

Unless there's overwhelming demand for another full-power tourney SoK is not going to make it in. I am not opposed to making the next MPFC similar to this one (but toonforces will be banned except for Ipkiss, because **** toonforce), but as far as I can tell people want a slightly more down-to-earth MPFC. Of course, this is just Wang and Ed Bellis' opinion so far, people whom I acknowledge and even respect, but with whom I fundamentally disagree on some points. If others could chime in on this I would appreciate it.
