Board 8 > Guys this is a really well put together bracket

(+) Yeah! (+)

Let's all give @SBAllen his due.

Good job Allen.
---

Yup, it is.
---

Great job!
---

Nice job allen
---

Ya dun good mr. bacon
---

I agree. Awesome job.
---

I like the legendary byes and losers' bracket
---

Yeah, this is good. Im a lot more excited for this now than when it was announced.
---

I just started filling it out from the top and thought "oh neat he took out all the traditional steam rollers"

Then I got to the legendary section and though "oh cool the steam rollers just got byes that opened so many fresh matchups"

and then I finally got to the double elimination portion and though "holy crap I love double elimination this is aces so many more great matchups thank you Allen"

And then I made this topic. It was very fun.
---

yeah I really like the format.
---

There are some wasted r1/r2 characters that could be swapped around but overall I like it

It feels weird that this is the first 1v1 character contest in 8 years

I really liked the 2010 character battle too
---

Indeed. Allen's had plenty of time to think about the bracket design, and this definitely seems like it ought to be a homerun.
---

Let's get one more round of dues given.
---

Allen. You the man now, dog.

Hey man it was my pleasure. Any time.
---

I'm very happy with it as well
---

Nicely done!
---

Im going to give SBAllen his due. Im burning im burning im burning for bracket
---

Really great bracket format. I think Allen is close to having perfected the format.

I am also giving praise for how the bracket turned out in this topic.
---

You can always find something that could be better, but could anyone really do a much better job?

Gotta give Allen lots of credit here.
---

Aside from my Sephiroth salt which is mostly tongue in cheek anyway, this is a fucking phenomenal bracket.

The only minor criticism I have is the way the double elimination rounds are set up, we're gonna have a few rematches which will be largely pointless.

Other than that, huge thumbs up.
---

Well done Allen, I have no idea what to expect and that's a good thing.
---

This really is a bracket to die for. I'm super excited.

I am sad that Cuphead is getting fed to Dante right off the bat, since I feel like he could actually do some damage if he started in a weak 4-pack. But hey, if he only received enough noms to be a 16-seed, that's obviously not Allen's fault.
