Video Game Dog Bracket 2023

BTW! because holding a preliminary doesn't just fit right now! I have decided to make it so each fandom with 2 individual submissions that only have one will go through one, somewhat. The most recognized one will be the one who joins the bracket!

HERE IT IS

BTW, this is for almost gentle giants, not complete GG, more characters who almost fit the trope but have a few drawbacks (but still joined both of the summer-autumn and spring brackets at times)

The tournament is open for submissions. Timing is flexible and subject to vibes. Fill out the form below:

RULES!!!! yeah!

This is a lighthearted tournament. this isn't meant to shame anyone or any character on account of being stinky. This is just a silly bracket to have fun with, don't take it seriously and don't be ableist with your propaganda, please.

TERFS FUCK OFF!!! BIGOTS FUCK OFF!!!! GET OUTTA HERE!

Please no Harry Potter or South Park characters. Anything else is fine.

Propaganda is allowed and encouraged!

I'll be lenient with the definition of what a stinky character might be, but please have a reason for them to be silly stinky guys. EX: Character hasn't bathed in years, character couldn't bathe, character enjoys being stinky, etc!

Here's the form! Submissions will be open for about 2 weeks, so until September 11th. (Subject to change and i swear to god this wasnt intentional)

Inspiration and exposure thingys under the cut!

this is a tournament for all vocaloids

rules:

• must be vocaloid

• Utau is allowed

thats it! submissions close whenever i want them to

[ all the main vocaloids - miku, rin, len, meiko, kaito, luka, gumi- will automatically be in the tournament ]

Submit all your blorbos from the Kirby universe here! :D

You'll notice there are already 8 characters on the bracket, these characters are Taranza, Daroach, Bandana Dee, 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 or Season 2 may be confused about why Kirby and Meta Knight aren't here, and the answer is that Kirby won Season 1, and Meta Knight won Season 2, so they will be left out of Season 3 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 and Season 2 (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 or Meta Knight, since Kirby won Season 1 and Meta Knight won Season 2!

Do not submit the characters already in the bracket (Taranza, Daroach, Bandana Dee, 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!

Characters from the anime, novels, and manga are allowed! However, manga, 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! Manga characters that play small roles in the games will 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!

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 Monday, August 21st at 9pm EST or until this receives 350+ submissions!

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

can we maybe not do reactive propaganda for one party on the same post as propaganda of the other? it feels really rude and an attempt at devaluing someone's thoughts on their favorite. and i say this as someone who doesn't know either of the finalists and whose fave got knocked out early.

Okay, I see your point. I accepted it up until now because it mostly struck me as good-natured, like a friendly debate/conversation, but you do have a point.

HOWEVER.

amaterasu is literally the origin of ALL that is good (and mother to us all!)
