(+) Yeah! (+)

If CATS couldn't do it, Lady D definitely won't.

Yeah, the window has closed on a Lady D contest win, but she could make it past a fourpack or so with favorable bracket placement.

I can't see her winning a fourpack unless she somehow lucks into something like the fourpack KOS-MOS got in 2018

Leon Kennedy is the only RE character to ever win a fourpack

Lady D cannot win a match, let alone a four pack, unless she somehow gets a match against Spring Breeze Dancin'.

Jill Valentine's wins over Kirby and Bomberman in 2002 mean nothing to you, huh?

Lady D would need a TJF pic and a fodder opponent to win anything.

You have to expect she's weaker than Wesker and Nemesis, who never did much to begin with.

Would Lady D beat Luca Blight? Sure. Would she put up a respectable showing against Lloyd or Ocelot? Unlikely.

If a contest was held today, whos the biggest meme threat character? I cant think of any off the top of my head, so maybe some random Pokmon?

Paimon

Nobody

There's no meme character or game I can think of that is in the window of time that they could ride a meme wave.

The cat from Stray maybe

Among Us guy probably has the biggest potential

I kind of feel it's a "Remember L-Block/Draven/Undertale? Boy, you ain't seen anything yet lmao." kind of deal, and I'm not convinced it'd be a one and done situation like L-Block and Draven were.

The Among Us characters are probably the best shot for a meme rally. So long as the game still has some popularity by the time we ever get a contest, I could see it. Though that's the exact sort of thing that would be fodder as fuck with our aging userbase, so there is no chance it would win any match whatsoever without extreme favorable bracket placement.

Among Us guy likely gets put up against Link by SBAllen to snuff out any rally potential. I can see it putting up Tanner-like numbers against Link.

Edit: That is if people even care to waste a nomination spot for it. My bet is it doesn't even get in the bracket.

There's enough people that will put forth a nomination slot for characters that have a chance at meme rallies. Draven and sans got decent spots in the last character battle after all.

Though the nomination system does present something of a problem here, as there are multiple ways to nominate the avatars of that game. They are called Characters, but could also be nominated as Crewmates, Imposters, or even Among Us or Amogus. I would laugh if all the different names for these avatars split the noms enough that they miss out.

Memes for games come and go, I'm surprised at how much staying power Among Us seems to be having since people found out about the game. It was a forgotten game before several popular streamers tried it out. Sus still gets used as a word a lot. I think enough people could put together enough nominations, although you're right that there's no consistent name for the characters in the game.

It's not even the best outer space mafia-style game out there. The Jackbox game Push the Button is a better game.

I'm not stressed about the Among Us cast. I think naturally they could be a little stronger than Draven but wouldn't be as naturally strong as Sans...and neither are much to write home about strength-wise, but more to the point I just think the meme-aspect has passed and they weren't as memable in a rallying kind of way with a contest. Memable for memes! Just feels like a different energy for getting the votes.

I do see people of multiple ages -- mostly younger people -- wearing their shirts so I could be wrong, but it's not the rallying kind of energy I imagine it takes to pull real upsets here.

I doubt you could get rabid Among Us fans to care about this site

We do have to worry about AOC linking to the site on Twitter.

The Congress Factor

That won't erupt into unpleasantness.

Some Genshin meme. Genshin's is the most talked about game on Twitter and it also has the most active gaming subreddit, so they could easily take over our contest if they cared to.

It probably won't because nobody will care, least of all AOC.

We should be more focused on getting the Green Ranger in anyway.

Among Us would have been way stronger two years ago

Now I dunno if I would take it over Apex or Fortnite

This will be the big new innovation in political campaigning.

Here's to another 20 years!

We haven't had a contest in a year ending in a 2 since 2002

Here's hoping 2032 is a kinder year for contests

I like how the PotD assumes a person only has enough time to be playing one MMORPG at a time.

I've never played a traditional MMO, but I'm unsure if something like Genshin Impact counts.

Bump

I saw a license plate that said MISSIN0 and immediately got Chrono triggered

how did missingno lose to sephiroth of all people

It was a night match

I always forget about the day/night feature of that contest

Let the record show that I was ahead of the curve of being against 12-hour matches

All the contests have their own issues that affect results. 4-ways have LFF, 12-hour matches have day/night splits, multiple matches per days leads to rally spillover, etc.

Except for the original format, but Allen will never go back to just 64 entrants (although I guess smaller brackets is the drawback of that format).
