Woo! This had quite a few surprises, but here's the results for Round One!
I must say, I had a lot of expectations - and just about every single one was blown out of the water. I'm very excited to see the next part!
Oh, and one more thing...
Here's the loser's bracket! Those empty spaces are for the next matchup these characters will face.
-Detective Pikachu (Detective Pikachu) VS Batman (DC)
-Iris Archwell (Nintendo's StreetPass) VS Honor Mizrahi (Murder by Numbers)
-Goro Akechi (Persona 5) VS L (Death Note)
-Kyoko Kirigiri (Danganronpa) VS Tohru Adachi (Persona 4)
-Kaname Date (AI: The Somnium Files) VS Lady Love Dies (Paradise Killer)
-Shinichi Kudo (Detective Conan) VS Nancy Drew (Nancy Drew
-Hank Schrader (Breaking Bad) VS Inspector Gadget (Inspector Gadget)
-Sherlock Holmes (Sherlock Holmes) VS Amelia Watson (Hololive) and Kyle Hyde (Hotel Dusk)
I am implementing a special rule - should a character have to face someone in Losers that they already lost to in Winners, they will swap with whoever is on the opposite side of the bracket. This may come into effect very soon depending on what happens!
With that being said, you may notice Kyle and Amelia stacked together. This is because I have decided to keep Kyle, the two are now in a duo slot! No three-way polls, just duo slot for both of them. The three way rule was only ever meant for BBC Sherlock who has been destroyed. GOOD!
With that, I'll be announcing the date for round 2 very shortly! Thank you all!
