Bestest Best Friend Bracket

Rizz: Originally short for "Charisma", Rizz (for this tournament, at least) refers to the appeal, charm or general "ability to pull" a character has, either romantically and/or sexually. (The character doesn't necessarily need to be attracted to anyone to have rizz. If they can make others fall for them, it counts)

How to vote

Propaganda

Submit your blorbos from the Kirby universe here! ^-^

You'll notice there are already 8 characters on the bracket, these characters are Taranza, Daroach, Susie, King Dedede, Shadow Kirby, Dark Meta Knight, Marx, and Magolor! There's no need to submit these characters since they're automatically in ^-^

Those of you who haven't been around for Season 1, Season 2, or Season 3 may be confused about why Kirby, Meta Knight, and Bandana Dee aren't here, and the answer is that Kirby won Season 1, Meta Knight won Season 2, and Bandana Dee won Season 3, so they will be left out of Season 4 to give others a chance at winning!

Qualifications for submissions

The characters you submit must:

Be a Kirby character, no OCs allowed!

Show signs of sentience! (ex: While Whispy Woods is a tree, he has definitely shown signs of sentience and emotions! Therefore, you can submit Whispy Woods here!)

Not have already been denied entry from Season 1, Season 2, and Season 3 (you can check if a character has been denied by looking in the #poll character: denied! tag!)

Be submitted using the google form found below! If you try to submit a character using the askbox, it will be ignored and deleted!

Rules for Submissions

Do not submit Kirby, Meta Knight, or Bandana Dee, since Kirby won Season 1, Meta Knight won Season 2, and Bandana Dee won Season 3!

Do not submit the characters already in the bracket (Taranza, Daroach, Susie, King Dedede, Shadow Kirby, Dark Meta Knight, Marx, and Magolor!)

You can submit multiple characters, but please don't submit the same character multiple times!

If you want to submit multiple characters, please fill out the form separately for them, instead of submitting them in the same submission!

Characters from the anime and novels are allowed! However, novel and anime versions of already existing characters (specifically characters that we already have a large understanding of from the games, like Kirby, Marx, Magolor, Meta Knight, etc.) will not be allowed!

Only a total of 64 characters will be allowed in the bracket, and 8 slots have already been filled, so only 56 characters will be making it onto the bracket!

Certain characters can be submitted together! (For example (but not limited to): Adeleine and Ribbon, Tiff and Tuff/Fumu and Bun, Lololo and Lalala, and the Mage Sisters!)

Kirby villains/monsters are allowed!

Even if a character has enough votes to qualify, they may be turned down from the tournament! The mod will make a public announcement for the character, and explain why.

And that's basically it! If you have any questions about the rules, qualifications, or about whether or not a certain character fits the requirements, feel free to ask! ^-^

You can submit a character here:

You can find a regularly updating (unless mod is asleep or busy) list of submitted characters (along with the amount of submissions they've received) here!

Need help remembering a character? You can check the Kirby Wiki or WiKirby! (Mod recommends WiKirby!)

The number of submissions needed for a character to be safely on the bracket will depend on the number of submissions this gets, but it'll be somewhere along the lines of 3-6 submissions!

Even if a character doesn't have enough submissions by the time it closes, they'll still have a chance to get in the bracket by winning their Preliminary Round Poll!

The Submission Form will be open until Friday, December 29th at 9pm EST or until this receives 250+ submissions!

Tagging some other tournaments for visibility! Feel free to ignore this if you want!

Paladin Tourney - Submissions OPEN closed, preliminary polls will be up soon!

Welcome, one and all, to the Paladin Tourney! Here, we will pit our beloved knights in shining armor against each other to determine who is Tumblr's favorite paladin!

I'm loosely defining "paladin" as any character who is, or who resembles, a paladin or knight, in either appearance or personality. They may wear the iconic shining armor, have an oath that they're fiercely determined to keep, or just have the vibes.

Tourney rules:

Be kind. You're welcome to make propaganda for or against characters, but don't attack people over who they vote for. Being racist, ableist, homophobic, or otherwise bigoted gets you blocked.

Please don't submit characters from Harry Potter, Attack on Titan, Vivziepop, or South Park. No OCs either, sorry. I probably won't accept submissions from real life unless you can make a good case for them in the propaganda section.

You can submit multiple characters, but please don't submit the same character multiple times unless you need to add or change something. Fill out the form separately for each character unless you want them to go together as a team.

If there's something wrong or you have tips for improving the tourney, please let me know! I've never run a Tumblr tournament before so I don't really know what I'm doing.

Submissions are closed, and polls will be up soon!

Time to celebrate the best trope ever made. We'll make our best dead, queer, and fictional characters brawl it out!

Submissions are here and are open until Monday, October 16th, 11:59PM EST. Please reference the nomination guidelines on the submission form before voting. Good luck!
