So despite the obvious war the was going on between Missle and Bowser, The Boss and Bleck actually had more activity in their match in terms of GPs. Meanwhile Samus/GLaDOS got much less attention, but was equally nail biting.

Missile :(

ah well, can't win 'em all. I'm not at all invested in anyone left but I'll support Bleck I guess.

Great job Team Missile, we got closer than anyone expected us to!

I failed Missile by giving up on them too early. Boo.

And Boss loses by a hair too. Double boo.

Yeah GP round is most fun even if some of the results were bummers!

Aerith, Bleck, Bowser, Miles, and Samus are a great top 5.

If Bleck wins itd be legendary.

Bowser and Samus would be typical.

Aerith reps FF.

Miles reps the Board mascot.

It's been a desire of mine to somehow find a way to combine a bunch of different elements from the rounds up until this point. While not perfect, I've decided on around that combines at least two of them. For Round 7, users will be voting on the outcomes for each character rather than the characters themselves. It would be the +10 to +1 ranked vote that we've seen a couple of times up to this point. Here would be an example vote:

+10 Zazi Guado ADVANCES
+9 Giera Guado ELIMINATED
+8 Nav Guado ELIMINATED
+7 Noy Guado ADVANCES
+6 Yumi Guado ADVANCES
+5 Yumi Guado ELIMINATED
+4 Giera Guado ADVANCES
+3 Noy Guado ELIMINATED
+2 Nav Guado ADVANCES
+1 Zazi Guado ELIMINATED

This combines the ranked list of Round 3 and the concept of voting to both advance and eliminate a character that we see in Round 5 (Boot and Immune). I dabbled with the idea of some GP equivalent, but since we are just exiting that round it seemed like it would be a little too iterative. This is something that can be workshopped in any potential future, but for now this is what I've settled on.

So as for the results, let's say this is the final ranking:

Noy Guado ELIMINATED
Yumi Guado ELIMINATED
Noy Guado ADVANCES
Nav Guado ADVANCES
Giera Guado ELIMINATED
Zazi Guado ADVANCES
Yumi Guado ADVANCES
Zazi Guado ELIMINATED
Nav Guado ELIMINATED
Giera Guado ADVANCES

The characters that would advance to the finals would be:

Nav Guado
Zazi Guado
Giera Guado

To score this round, I'll simply be going down the final ranked list until three characters have advanced to the finals due to process of elimination. In this instance, Noy and Yumi ELIMINATED were the two highest ranked outcomes, and thus leaves the three above as the finalists. This is where the potential controversy occurs as Noy Guado ADVANCES was also a Top 3 ranked results, but since Noy Guado ELIMINATED finished higher, it is the result that occurs. Meanwhile, Giera Guado ADVANCES finished dead last while Giera Guado ELIMINATED finished mid-table. However, more people wanted to see other characters eliminated, and so Giera sneaks his way into the finals.

My concern is that this round potentially awards ambivalence more than anything else and potentially gets rid of the characters people are passionate about (in one way or another), but my hope is that since this is the Top 5 of the contest, every character remaining has some sort of passionate fanbase behind them.

I think this punishes the most prominent characters a bit too much as it is. Edgeworth and Bowser could easily put in contest-winning performances this round, but get enough attention to lose anyway. Bleck would likely be eliminated simply for putting in the same performance he has been the entire contest.

I do like the idea of combining previous rounds, though. Maybe weight 'advance' votes slightly higher? I'm sure that solution has its own problems but I wanted to throw something out there.

I think this is interesting and probably will be controversial. Should be fun!

I think I like it as is. If you weight advance I feel like it kinda takes away the point of the round.

I anticipate it to start on Wednesday at the usual time. It's been 12:00pm CST and the topic will go for 48 hours. This should allow the finals (which is three characters and users vote by handing out a single +1 and a single -1) to run mostly on the weekend.
