Board 8 > Save My/Tournament Epic Rap Battles of History - Interest gauge topic

(+) Yeah! (+)

I love this series a lot (some entries more than others, of course) and I've been wanting to do something on B8 with it. Would you be interested in a Save My ERBoH? Or should it be a tournament instead?

Apparently there's 86 of them now. Maybe a nomination topic to thin it down to a 32 bracket instead?

Of course if there's not enough people familiar with them on B8 it wouldn't make sense to run it, so there's that too.

I would love to see a bracket.

ERB is super underrated. They may seem corny on the outside, but the attention to detail in these videos are staggering.

Isaac Newton vs Bill Nye is the best.

In this day and age, they definitely are. Weird to say about a content creator with multiple videos topping 100 million. Their attention to detail in the recent years, even though their uploads are slower, is pretty staggering. Most people seem to like their more simplistic battles from way back when, but when it comes to like actual quality those old ones really don't compare to the newer ones in most cases.

That said, I would fully expect any sort of contest to favor those older creations just because they're more iconic and people will associate them with "better days" of the internet.

As for me personally I do appreciate the newer videos too (Lara vs. Indiana is a banger) but they go on for just a bit too long than I prefer them to be. Around 3 minutes is the sweet spot for me.

Yeah that's me... first thing I thought when I saw this was "Napoleon vs. Napoleon" which certainly doesn't compare to their more refined later stuff, not to mention the quality of the video itself, but yeah... it'll always be a personal fav.

I voted tournament so we get the videos posted in each round, good opportunity for that trip back down memory lane.

Walter White vs Rick Grimes is a standout for me.

Oh and Bob Ross vs Picasso

I don't know that it would work too well as a save my but I'd vote in a tournament if it happened

ERB is sweet; I'd vote every day if it were a big 32/64 entrant tourney and you linked the videos right underneath the poll.

It would work best as a tournament. The Save My format doesn't work well for anything other than characters.

Id like to see a tournament
