Xeybozn 12/14/18 12:21:25 PM #5:	Maybe, but only if Allen would decide on a case-by-case basis which non-game characters had significant enough games to be allowed in. I wouldn't mind (for example) Batman or Spider-Man, but whenever this subject comes up B8 just starts talking about every big character in pop culture and saying "They technically have a game, we should get them in". --- Congrats to 2017 Guru champ BKSheikah! <cite>Xeybozn posted [p:914116789] in Would you ...

Ngamer64 12/14/18 5:00:32 PM #13:	I was fine with this bracket since it had been 5 years since the last Character Battle and 8 since the last traditional 1v1. But yes, the next should definitely allow all these new characters into the field. And I hope SB tells us about it ahead of time so we can pick our Day One rallies to get the characters we care about/have the best chance onto the nomination form before it goes live on the front page. --- BKSheikah dominated even The Show hosts in 2017, wow! board8.wikia.com \| thengamer.com/xstats <cite>Ngamer64 posted [p:914131221] in Would you ...
