ThatGuyNamedMikey | Mega Man RPG World Leaderboard

Let's say I do decide to start doing repeats. Should I be asking you all to make new suggestions, should I be pointing out the old suggestions they had, or should I be doing both? :P

@TheDoc : It's also worth mentioning that there were guys like MegaMan.exe, Magic Man, King, Bass, and most notably, Ballade, that never got a real chance to prove how much of a contender they'd actually be because they just happened to get caught in awkward battles with unexpected vote totals. In fact, with the exception of Mega Man > Ballade, all of the other 4 battles--Roll > MegaMan.exe, ProtoMan.exe > Magic Man, Skull Man > King and Enker > Bass--were ALL decided by a difference of just ONE vote.
As far as I can tell, all 8 of these characters have the potential to be Division Finalist material at the very least--some might even challenge the likes of Vile, Sunstar, Mega Man and Proto Man, themselves. That's just a prediction, though; we'll see for sure in 2-3 months. :P


@MusicalKitty : You mean, like a Tournament of Champions. GameFAQs did 2 of those with their Character Battles, too.
Link won both of them. Pretty much just as easily as he's won 4 of the 7 GameFAQs Character Battles that he's shown up in. Now, granted, I'm almost positive that this is because there's always a prize in it for whoever predicts the bracket most accurately, and there was no such prize for this Tourney. There likely won't be, either, 'cause as far as I've seen, that would corrupt the unpredictability of this tournament by having the same people vote for the same characters over and over again, even when they wouldn't, otherwise. That's no fun.
I know of ways to keep this tourney fresh besides including prizes; if the 2nd one turns out to be subpar [it SHOULDN'T, but, it could], and people still want a 3rd one, I'll have a way to make that one better. I promise. A mad genius always has backup plans for his backup plans. :P


@Meta : I just told you, it's called "Seasonal". Some also call it "Quarterly", but, either one works. :P

@TailsMK4 and @Tobyjoey : Yeah, I could go with a whole seeding, ranking thing, but, that creates massive amounts of predictability. I figured it would be much better for every1 if the entire bracket was randomized without me tinkering with it at all; this makes for boring blowouts, like the aforementioned King > Bomb Man, but also crazy upsets, like Enker > Bass, Auto > Ring Man, Sigma > Zero and, of course, Proto Man > Sunstar. With all due respect, There was always either 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 or--in the case of the Final Battle and the Galaxy Man > Saturn tie that I had to break--11 voters. This could easily change 2-3 months from now, as we won't have precisely the same audience.....I think. Proto Man, for all the votes he had going for him, still had some pretty close calls down the home stretch; He only beat Mega Man by 2 and he only beat Sunstar by 1--that could easily reverse if they ever face off again, 'cause it won't be the same 10 and 11 people voting on it. I guarantee it.

Whether Proto Man maks it in or not, I'll leave it up to the people of Prototype; there'll be no Guaranteed entries for the 2nd Tourney. If he does win that one, too.....well, your idea will be a lot easier to consider, then, won't it, T.J.? :P

@Meta : It's called "Seasonal", my friend, due to how the seasons change every 3 months. "quad-yearly" isn't a thing, and even if it was, that would be every 4 years. :P

Definitely a Level 100 Pikachu, here

I'm still determining if there's anyone in the Top 50 that I HAVEN'T interviewed that still comes around here on at least an almost-regular basis--I'm still waiting to hear back from Spinstrike, after all, and I don't wanna wait that long for anyone else. If there aren't any, that's cool, too, 'cause then I get to do REPEATS! WHOOOO!

Srsly, though, any ideas, fellow programs?

@TheDoc: Awww, you're too kind. You kick butt, too, for all the work YOU put into participating in it so much. =)

Actually, I've said this is the Chat plenty of times, but, if there is a 2nd Tourney, I'd be nixing the idea of the 5 Mega Men being guaranteed entries altogether. In fact, not even Proto Man will be guaranteed in. To compensate for this, I'll be allowing 30 nominations per person instead of 25, next time.

There's also pleanty of characters that people forgot that I think would be pretty good contenders, if nothing else. Not naming names, though. :P

Proto Man will likely have even stiffer competition, next time. Just sayin'. :P


@MegaBossMan : The Final battle was not only the most popular non-Mikey battle of the whole tourney, but, Proto won it by one, buddy. That IS theatrics. Put it this way, what was more theatrics: The Final Battle or King vs. Bomb Man [R1 of Division 5]? :P

Oh, also, I edited the opening post. =)

Sorry about the extremely late announcement, here; meant to do this earlier, tonight, but, I had too much stuff going on my comp at once, and I shut it off to let is rest before rebooting it, completely forgetting about this. :P

Anyway, we have our tournament champion:

THE FINAL BATTLE [voting ends at 11:59 PM, EST on 1/2/16]:vs. (6-5)

It's an upset and a half, in all honesty. StupidStudiosN broke the tie with his vote. It was a close one, but, you, the people of Prototype, have decided that Proto Man is the greatest Mega Man Character EVER....for now, at least.

[The pastebin has been updated accordingly, along with the [almost] complete rankings of all 71 characters who made it into the tourney, from the Eliminator all the way to the Final Battle.](http://pastebin.com/D8gmNq4J)

When you're done looking at that, do me a favor and vote on one last bonus battle:

BONUS BATTLE!
2 months vs. 3 months [voting ends at ??:?? pm on ??/??/????]

How long should we wait before doing another tourney like this?

Also, feel free to give me your thoughts on the tourney itself; How do YOU feel about it?

Huh. All the votes in this round took place in the 1st 12 hours. :P

Grand Division, Round 2:
Proto Man [Mega Man 3] vs.(6-4)
vs. Sunstar [Mega Man World 5 (8-2)

And with that, we have our grand finale. Our crème de la crème of the Mega Man universe:

THE FINAL BATTLE [voting ends at 11:59 PM, EST on 1/2/16]:
Proto Man [Mega Man 3] vs. Sunstar [Mega Man World 5]

Who will be crowned champion? It's up to you to decide, Prototype, startiiiiiiing NOW!

HAPPY 2016, ALL!

Grand Division, Round 1:
vs. Proto Man [Mega Man 3] (6-2)
vs. Mega Man [Mega Man] (5-3)
vs. Terra [Mega Man World 5] (5-3)
Sunstar [Mega Man World 5] vs. (6-2)

Let's celebrate by narrowing the field down to the final 2!

Round 2 [1/1/16; Happy 2016!]
Proto Man [Mega Man 3] vs. Mega Man [Mega Man]
Terra [Mega Man World 5] vs. Sunstar [Mega Man World 5]

It might be difficult, but, I know you all can do it. BEGIN!

All righty, then: Our final Grand Division entry iiiiiis.....

Division 8 Final:
vs. Enker [Mega Man World] (8-1)

Speaking of the Grand Division....

Grand Division, Round 1 [voting ends at 11:59 PM on 12/31/15]:
Pharaoh Man [Mega Man 4] vs. Proto Man [Mega Man 3]
Vile [Mega Man X] vs. Mega Man [Mega Man]
Knight Man [Mega Man 6] vs. Terra [Mega Man World 5]
Sunstar [Mega Man World 5] vs. Enker [Mega Man World]

....here it is, the final push to decide who is the greatest Mega Man character of all time [for now, at least] starts now. Let the Grand Division.....

.....COMMENCE!

WOW. Easily the biggest upset, yet:

Division 8, Round 2:
vs. Shade Man [Mega Man 7] (5-4)
vs. Enker [Mega Man World] (5-4)

...Now we get to see who has to face Sunstar in the Grand Division:

Division 8 Final [voting ends at 11:59 PM on 12/30/15]
Shade Man [Mega Man 7] vs. Enker [Mega Man World]

En Garde!

Yeah, this round went about how I expected, save for the lack of blowouts. :P

Duo.exe [MegaMan Battle Network 4] vs. (5-2)
Shade Man [Mega Man 7] vs. (7-0)
Bass [Mega Man 7] vs. (5-2)
vs. Enker [Mega Man World] (4-3)

Let's see if the 2nd round will be any closer.

Division 8, Round 2 [voting ends at 11:59 PM on 12/29/15]
Duo.exe [MegaMan Battle Network 4] vs. Shade Man [Mega Man 7]
Bass [Mega Man 7] vs. Enker [Mega Man World]

GREEN LIGHT! :P

I just thought it was worth mentioning that Sunstar got what's called in the Mortal Kombat circles as a "Double Flawless" in rounds 1 and 2.

Division 7 Final:
Sunstar [Mega Man World 5] vs. (6-2)

I think we have a new favorite for the Grand Division. Who will have the unlucky task of facing him? Only one way to find out: Enter the 8th and final Division!

Division 8, Round 1 [12/28/15]
Duo.exe [MegaMan Battle Network 4] vs. Tron Bonne [Mega Man Legends]
Shade Man [Mega Man 7] vs. Rock Man Shadow [Rock Man And Forte: Mirai Kara No Chosenshu]
Bass [Mega Man 7] vs. Quick Man [Mega Man 2]
Mikhail Cossack [Mega Man 4] vs. Enker [Mega Man World]

Who will be our final Grand Division entry? Let's see!
*FIRES PISTOL IN THE AIR*

Sunday Night Chatroom 12/27/15

More Mega Man Mega Quiz opinions, and the possible return of Adrian?

@TinyTailsMK4 : I'm afraid your vote came 3 minutes too late, friend [12:02].

.....not that it mattered:

Division 7, Round 2 [voting ends at 11:59 PM on 12/26/15]:
vs. Sunstar [Mega Man World 5] (7-0)
vs. Gemini Man [Mega Man 3] (7-0)

Glad I didn't make any predictions. I could make some for the final, but, that'd be considered swaying.

Division 7 Final [voting ends at 11:59 PM on 12/27/15]:
Sunstar [Mega Man World 5] vs. Gemini Man [Mega Man 3]

Let's see if there's any remaining upset to be had. TO BATTLE!

Well, well, well, well, well. There's some upsets in this bunch:

Division 7, Round 1:
vs. Elec Man [Mega Man] (4-3)
Sunstar [Mega Man World 5] vs. (7-0)
vs. Roll [Mega Man] (4-3)
vs. Gemini Man [Mega Man 3] (5-2)

I'm not gonna make any predictions on Round 2; quite frankly, all 4 are liked by most, and I've been wrong too many times before. :P

Division 7, Round 2 [voting ends at 11:59 PM on 12/26/15]:
Elec Man [Mega Man] vs. Sunstar [Mega Man World 5]
Roll [Mega Man] vs. Gemini Man [Mega Man 3]

Should be very interesting. CHAAAAAAAAARGE!

I feel like I sent Galaxy Man to the slaughterhouse.....geez.

Division 6 Final [voting ends at 11:59 PM on 12/24]:
vs. Terra [Mega Man World 5] (9-0)

So, Terra will face Knight Man in the Grand Division. This means that we have 6 spots filled and only 2 to go. This next Division is gonna be something else, though, I think:

Division 7, Round 1 [voting ends at 11:59 Pm on 12/25/15]:
Punk [Mega Man World 3] vs. Elec Man [Mega Man]
Sunstar [Mega Man World 5] vs. Strike Man [Mega Man 10]
MegaMan.exe [MegaMan Battle Network] vs. Roll [Mega Man]
Rush [Mega Man 3] vs. Gemini Man [Mega Man 3]

Happy December 25th. Now, TO BATTLE!

We got ourselves a tie!

Division 6, Round 2:
Galaxy Man [Mega Man 9] vs. Saturn [Mega Man World 5] (5-5)
Terra [Mega Man World 5] vs. (8-2)

That means I have to vote, huh? Hmm. Well, I've never played either of the games that they've appeared in, so, I'm solely basing this choice on which one would be more interesting for Terra to go against:

Galaxy Man
Roll.exe

...which means...

Galaxy Man [Mega Man 9] vs. (6-5)
Terra [Mega Man World 5] vs. (8-3)

...and we now have our Division Final:

Division 6 Final [voting ends at 11:59 PM on 12/24]:
Galaxy Man [Mega Man 9] vs. Terra [Mega Man World 5]

....Enjoy. GO!

@Beta Blizzard : Actually, it is based on most favorite.

Auto beat Ring Man. If this was based on strength, that wouldn't've happened. -_-

I guess, when you think about it, these 4 were too easy to predict, huh?

Division 6, Round 1:
Galaxy Man [Mega Man 9] vs. (5-1)
Saturn [Mega Man World 5] vs. (4-2)
Terra [Mega Man World 5] vs. (5-1)
vs. Roll.exe [MegaMan Battle Network] (5-1)

I think this'll be closer, though.

Division 6, Round 2 [voting ends at 11:59 PM, EST on 12/23]:
Galaxy Man [Mega Man 9] vs. Saturn [Mega Man World 5]
Terra [Mega Man World 5] vs. Roll.exe [MegaMan Battle Network]

Let's test my theory, shall we? BEGIN!

Huh.....and I thought this would be close.

Division 5 Final [voting closes at 11:59 PM on 12/21/15]:
Knight Man [Mega Man 6] vs. (6-2)

Now, uh, I wanna apologize about this next Division and the overabundance of characters originating from the same game in it, but, it wouldn't be random if I tinkered with it, you know?

Enter Division 6.

Division 6, Round 1 [voting ends at 11:59 PM, EST on 12/22/15]:
Galaxy Man [Mega Man 9] vs. Blizzard Man [Mega Man 6]
Saturn [Mega Man World 5] vs. Gravity Man [Mega Man 5]
Terra [Mega Man World 5] vs. Mercury [Mega Man World 5]
Heat Man [Mega Man 2] vs. Roll.exe [MegaMan Battle Network]

Who will survive to face Knight Man? We begin finding that answer.......NOW.

You can all thank Retro Pikachu for these results; both fights were tied before his vote:

Division 5, Round 2:
Knight Man [Mega Man 6] vs. (5-4)
Skull Man [Mega Man 4] vs. (5-4)

Place your bets, ladies and gents; we have probably the closest final yet, coming up.

Division 5 Final [voting closes at 11:59 PM on 12/21/15]:
Knight Man [Mega Man 6] vs. Skull Man [Mega Man 4]

Huh. A surprise upset, here; see if you can spot it.

Division 5, Round 1:
vs. Knight Man [Mega Man 6] (7-2)
vs. Sigma [Mega Man X] (5-4)
vs. Skull Man [Mega Man 4] (5-4)
King [Mega Man And Bass] vs.(9-0)

This leaves us with a couple of interesting battles for Round 2:

Division 5, Round 2 [voting ends at 11:59 PM, EST on 12/20/15]:
Knight Man [Mega Man 6] vs. Sigma [Mega Man X]
Skull Man [Mega Man 4] vs. King [Mega Man And Bass]

I'm looking forward to this one. PLAY BALL!

@TheGrinch : Please refer to both the opening post and to Post #118 about abstaining from votes. I must have an vote for ALL 4 battles by 11:59 PM, EST.

Huh. I expected it to be a tad closer, but, still....

Division 4 Final:
Mega Man [Mega Man] vs. (6-3)

So, it'll be Vile against Mega Man. That'll be good. 1/2way through the touney, now, and to be honest, I'm sorry I didn't cut the voting time sooner; We'd be closer to the Grand Division if I did. :P
Still need 4 more for it, though. I give you the verrrrry interesting Division 5:

Division 5, Round 1 [voting ends at 11:59 PM on 12/19/15]:
Uranus [Mega Man World 5] vs. Knight Man [Mega Man 6]
Zero [Mega Man X] vs. Sigma [Mega Man X]
Thomas Light [Mega Man] vs. Skull Man [Mega Man 4]
King [Mega Man And Bass] vs. Bomb Man [Mega Man]

Should be some good ones, here. START!

Well, thanks to StupidStudiosN for taking the pressure off of me. I did NOT wanna have to decide that. Whew.

Division 4, Round 2:
vs. Mega Man [Mega Man] (8-1)
Bass.exe [MegaMan Battle Network] vs. (5-4)

THIS should be a good Division Final. Winner advances to the Grand Division, where they'll have to take on Vile.

Division 4 Final [voting ends on 11:59 PM, EST on 12/18]:
Mega Man [Mega Man] vs. Bass.exe [MegaMan Battle Network]

BEGIN!

OK, I'm putting the kibosh on abstaining, right now. Doc's votes were counted, this time, but, a new rule has been added to the opening post saying that if you vote, you must vote in ALL currently running battles, or your vote won't count, PERIOD; I don't wanna have that happening--a tie could be happen because of a withdrawn vote, and then, it's up to me to break that tie, and controversy 'cause someone only voted in 3 battles. I don't wanna have THAT kind of controversy in this.

I got lucky 'cause it didn't matter, but, I don't want that situation happening, so, that's why I'm putting a halt on it, now.

Division 4, Round 1
vs. Duo [Mega Man 8] (6-3)
vs. Mega Man [Mega Man] (6-2)
Bass.exe [MegaMan Battle Network] vs.(6-3)
Auto [Mega Man 7] vs. (6-3)

That was a good Round 1, right? Let's see if Round 2 will be better.

Division 4, Round 2 [voting ends on 11:59 PM, EST on 12/17]:
Duo [Mega Man 8] vs. Mega Man [Mega Man]
Bass.exe [MegaMan Battle Network] vs. Auto [Mega Man 7]

Should be a good one. COMMENCE [something other than 'GO', for once]!

So, your Division 3 winner is an X series character who beat 2 Classic characters and a BN character before finally winning the 3rd Grand Division entry.

Division 3 Final:
Vile [Mega Man X] vs.(6-2)

...but who will he face, there? Enter Division 4!

Division 4, Round 1
Time Man [Mega Man: Powered Up] vs. Duo [Mega Man 8]
Ballade [Mega Man World 4] vs. Mega Man [Mega Man]
Bass.exe [MegaMan Battle Network] vs. Chill Penguin [Mega Man X]
Auto [Mega Man 7] vs. Ring Man [Mega Man 4]

ReadyGO!

By the way, The Pastebin has some extra info for those of you that are worried about how the 24-hour cut in voting time will change things. vote totals that you see in triple parentheses are what the results would've been if that fight was only 24 hours.

Well, well, well, one battle was predictably lopsided, while the other was a complete and total upset.

Division 3, Round 2:
Vile [Mega Man X] vs. (8-2)
vs. ProtoMan.exe [MegaMan Battle Network] (6-4)

This should be an interesting final:

Division 3 Final [voting ends at 11:59 PM, EST on 12/15]:
Vile [Mega Man X] vs. ProtoMan.exe [MegaMan Battle Network]

3, 2.....oh, fudge it, just GO, already. :P

Heal Meta, Hurt Music.

Heal Tails, Hurt MegaBoyX7.

It's getting down to only people I really know, now. Fudge.

Well, you are in the lead, Tails, so.... Heal Meta, Hurt Tails. Sorry.

Not quite as much blowouts as Round 1 of Division 2, but, pretty close:

Division 3, Round 1:
Vile [Mega Man X] vs. (9-1)
Albert Wily [Mega Man] vs. (7-3)
Magic Man [Mega Man And Bass] vs. (9-1)
vs. ProtoMan.exe [MegaMan Battle Network] (6-4)

2 interesting round 2 fights, though; Let's see how they play out.

Division 3, Round 2 [voting ends at 11:59 PM, EST on 12/13]:
Vile [Mega Man X] vs. Albert Wily [Mega Man]
Magic Man [Mega Man And Bass] vs. ProtoMan.exe [MegaMan Battle Network]

ReadyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyGO.

I'd like to keep it going, myself; I don't think the problem was 20 contenders, it's that there was a combined 200 points between them. Better to start every1 at 5 or 6 or 7, next time.

Also, there's the spontaneity of the -2 bombs. Can't they be -1 and be released in a set time pattern next time [like 'every 40 posts', for example]?

Oh, also, heal StupidStudiosN, hurt MegaboyX7.

Sorry for the long update. I overslept a bit. :P

Division 2 Final:
vs. Proto Man [MM3] (5-2)

This means that Pharaoh Man's opponent in his Round 1 Grand Division fight will be Proto Man. That's near the end of the tournament, though. We need 6 more before then. Enter Division 3.

Division 3, Round 1 [Voting ends at 11:59 PM, EST on 12/11]:
Vile [Mega Man X] vs. Metal Man [Mega Man 2]
Albert Wily [Mega Man] vs. Tornado Man [Mega Man 9]
Magic Man [Mega Man And Bass] vs. Star Man [Mega Man 5]
Axl [Mega Man X7] vs. ProtoMan.exe [MegaMan Battle Network]

Also, since all the votes for that fight took place in the 1st 24 hours again, STARTING WITH DIVISION 4 [12/16], ALL FIGHTS WILL BE 24 HOURS LONG. That'll give you all time to prepare for the quicker fights.

That aside, you still have until 11:59 tomorrow for THIS fight. 321GO!

Heal Meta, Hurt Spinstrike.

Well, actually, I decided to listen to what you all said LAST time:

Retro Pikachu [currently Retro Sneasel] is up next; I wouldn't get him angry if I were you all--he might be Lv. 100. :P

Suggest away.

I know I said that Round 2 wouldn't be closer--it was, technically.

Division 2, Round 2:
Napalm Man [Mega Man 5] vs. (7-2)
Proto Man [Mega Man 3] vs. (8-1)

We have our final. The winner faces off against Pharaoh Man in Round 1 of the Grand Division.

Division 2 Final [voting ends at 11:59 PM on 12/9]:
Napalm Man [Mega Man 5] vs. Proto Man [Mega Man 3]

Also, I noticed that all the votes for round 2 were made during the 1st 24 hours, which would suggest that I should lower the voting period, so, when you make your vote for this battle, also vote on whether or not all future voting periods should be lowered to either 24 or 36 hours, or if they should stay at 48 hours, pleaseandthankyou.

That said, Readyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy, GO!

Heal Tails, Hurt Crystal Miner.

Napalm Man v. Magnet Man was close, but, the other 3 were the 3 most lopsided battles yet.

Napalm Man [Mega Man 5] vs. (5-4)
vs. ElecMan.exe [MegaMan Battle Network] (8-1)
vs. Proto Man [Mega Man 3] (9-0)
Mega Man X [Mega Man X] vs. (9-0)

I get the feeling that the Round 2 battles won't be as close. You have until 11:59 PM, EST on 12/7:

Division 2, Round 2 [voting ends at 11:59 PM on 12/7]:
Napalm Man [Mega Man 5] vs. ElecMan.exe [MegaMan Battle Network]
Proto Man [Mega Man 3] vs. Mega Man X [Mega Man X]

ReadyGO!

Heal Meta, Hurt Spinstrike.

And the winner of this division [and the first entry into the Grand Division] is.....

Division 1 Finals:
Pharaoh Man [Mega Man 4] vs.(5-4)

Closest battle yet, but, Pharaoh Man goes on. The pastebin has been updated accordingly [scroll to the bottom], however, there's still 7 other open spots; Enter Division 2:

Division 2, Round 1 [Voting ends at 11:59 PM on 12/5]:
Napalm Man [Mega Man 5] vs. Magnet Man [Mega Man 3]
Freeze Man [Mega Man 7] vs. ElecMan.exe [MegaMan Battle Network]
Wind Man [Mega Man 6] vs. Proto Man [Mega Man 3]
Mega Man X [Mega Man X] vs. Iris [Mega Man X4]

Remember, you're voting on all 4 at once, just like with Division 1's round 1. The 4 survivors face off in Round 2. Readyyyy, GO!

Heal Tails, Hurt Ender.

Heal Meta, Hurt Crystal Miner.

vs. Pharaoh Man [Mega Man 4] (6-3)
vs. Pluto [Mega Man World 5] (7-2)

This means that the first competitor moving into the Grand Division will be one of these 2 survivors:

Pharaoh Man [Mega Man 4] vs. Pluto [Mega Man World 5]

Only you can decide [unless there's a tie, of course]. You have until 11:59 PM on 11/3. GO!

I'm not saying it. Forget it. I said I'm not.....Oh, fine.

Meow.

There. Now, who's next?

Yes, I'm asking all of you, again, 'cause Spinstrike. You deserve it, I think.

Noms end at 11:59 PM on 12/1. No nominating yourself, pleaseandthankyou.

Heal Music, Hurt Spinstrike. You already know why. :P

@Kirbologist and @MusicalKitty: Both your posts were after the deadline, so, they can't count, unfortunately.

.....not that they would've mattered:

Division 1, Round 1:
Blade Man [Mega Man 10] vs.(5-2)
Pharaoh Man [Mega Man 4] vs.(5-2)
Buster Rod G [Mega Man: The Wily Wars] vs.(6-1)
Pluto [Mega Man World 5] vs.(5-2)

The 4 survivors advance to face off in the 2nd round:

Division 1, Round 2:
Blade Man [Mega Man 10] vs. Pharaoh Man [Mega Man 4]
Buster Rod G [Mega Man: The Wily Wars] vs. Pluto [Mega Man World 5]

Voting ends at 11:59 PM, EST on 12/1. Go!

You want him? You got him.

Dance to the MusicalKitty; he's next. Suggestions, please [still only 7 per person, though]. :P

Heal Shadownnico, Hurt Toby.

Let's meet the combatants and who they'll be fighting in each division, shall we?

Looks like a good tourney ahead. Remember, the winner of each of the 8 divisions will advance to the Grand Division, where the greatest MM character ever [at least, for now] will be decided on by you.

First, we'll get the 1st round of Division 1 out of the way. 4 of these 8 characters...

Blade Man [Mega Man 10] vs. Top Man [Mega Man 3]

Pharaoh Man [Mega Man 4] vs. Crash Man [Mega Man 2]

Buster Rod G [Mega Man: The Wily Wars] vs. MegaMan [MegaMan Star Force]

Pluto [Mega Man World 5] vs. Mega Man Volnutt [Mega Man Legends]

Will fall by the wayside; you all have 48 hours [11:59 PM, EST on 11/29] to vote for your FAVORITE character in each of the 4 faceoffs. Any ties will be decided by me. You can vote normally, or you can PM me your votes, just like with the Eliminator.

The 4 with the most votes face off in Round 2. GO!

This means that Magma Dragoon is the 6th eliminated, which just leaves the question as to who #7 will be, which is easy: it'll be who has the most votes of the 65 remaining characters, which is obviously Servbot.

So, officially, Magma Dragoon, Quint, Green Biker Dude, Hidden Phantom, Ring.exe, Sniper Joe and Servbot are out, leaving us with 64 characters. We have our tournament, now. Please stand by while I generate the bracket; I'll post as soon as possible when I have.

Uhhh, Alpha? Read Post #1, first, pleaseandthankyou. Nearly all the characters you mentioned aren't even in the Eliminator, let alone in the tournament. The character have already been picked, friend; there's 71 of them, in fact. The goal is to eliminate 7 of them so that we can START the tournament. :P

Please read post #1, then edit your post. I'll have to ignore it altogether if it's not edited in the next.....*checks clock*.....5.5 hours.

Heal Tails, Hurt Spinstrike. Still waiting, Spinner.....

Heal Ender, Hurt Toby.

All right, that's it. I'm reviving this thing.

Spinstrike, unfortunately will not return my PM's. He did choose his 10 community Questions, but, unfortunately has still yet to answer MY 10, and, as a result, his interview must be put on hold unless and until he returns. It has been almost 3 months, after all, and the show must go on.

But, how will it go on? Well, that's easy. You all decide how it goes on! You all deserve a say in the matter after waiting so long. :P

Simply post in this thread before 11:59 PM, EST on 11/27 [even if I've already interviewed you], AND be in the Top 50 on the Leaderboard, and you'll have your chance to be the next 20 Questions subject as picked by the people of Prototype. =)

@Thankfuljoey : Ring Man is already in the Tourney and is not even in the Eliminator, let alone in Group C. :P

I was having trouble deciding if I should be voting in this tourney or not, but, seeing as how we'll likely need to break ties, I've decided that I'll only vote in the tourney as a tiebreaking vote.

First, we'll need to thin the herd a bit, as there's 71 characters nominated to be in the Tourney.

Here are the 32 that you all have decided gets in the tournament for sure, based on your nominations, save for the 5 Mega Men.

Albert Wily [Mega Man]
Axl [Mega Man X7]
Ballade [Mega Man World 4]
Bass [Mega Man 7]
Bass.exe [MegaMan Battle Network]
Chill Penguin [Mega Man X]
Duo [Mega Man 8]
Elec Man [Mega Man]
Enker [Mega Man World]
Freeze Man [Mega Man 7]
Galaxy Man [Mega Man 9]
Gemini Man [Mega Man 3]
Gravity Man [Mega Man 5]
Magic Man [Mega Man And Bass]
Mega Man [Mega Man]
Mega Man Volnutt [Mega Man Legends]
Mega Man X [Mega Man X]
MegaMan [MegaMan Star Force]
MegaMan.exe [MegaMan Battle Network]
Napalm Man [Mega Man 5]
Proto Man [Mega Man 3]
ProtoMan.exe [MegaMan Battle Network]
Punk [Mega Man World 3]
Ring Man [Mega Man 4]
Rock Man Shadow [Rock Man And Forte: Mirai Kara No Chosenshu]
Roll [Mega Man]
Sigma [Mega Man X]
Skull Man [Mega Man 4]
Sunstar [Mega Man World 5]
Terra [Mega Man World 5]
Vile [Mega Man X]
Zero [Mega Man X]

The other 39 characters didn't quite get enough nominations to be guaranteed entry, and so, 7 of them have to go, and you all get to decide who they are.

I've randomized all 39 characters into 3 groups of 13. When you post, you simply vote for the 3 characters you dislike MOST in each group. Simple as that. You can post why if you'd like, or not, if you don't. If you don't want your vote made public, I will accept private votes made via PM, as well.

Remember, ONLY 3 FROM EACH GROUP, please and thank you. The 3 characters in each group with the most votes will most likely be eliminated, and then the tournament will TRULY commence.

You have 48 hours. All votes made after 11:59 PM, tomorrow [11/27] will not count. GO!

As of this post, you now have less than 13 hours remaining to turn in your nominations. Any edits made to your post after 11:59 PM, Eastern Standard Time tonight will NOT count.

Hurry.

Heal StupidStudiosN, Hurt MegaBoyX7.

Heal Tails, Hurt Uraccountcrashed.

11/22/2015's meeting in it's entirety. Enjoy!

@DaCrashBomber : Yeah, Boss hurt me, too. Doesn't guarantee that you go out, though, 'specially at this early stage, where there's 17 other targets and repeat hurts are forbidden. You'll be fine. Shake it off; I had to. :P

Heal StupidStudiosN, Hurt Spinstrike for not giving the people what they want; an interview. :P

Yeah, it's pretty much settled on, now; there WILL be 64 characters in this tourney.

4.5 days left to get your nominations in.

Heal Ender, Hurt Rhythm.

NOW, heal Meta, and hurt uraccountcrashed.

Heal StupidStudiosN and hurt MegaBoyX7.

Right. Time to rectify.

Heal TAILS and hurt Shuriken.

People post so much at the same time, that I recommend that we all just let Tails [or someone of Tails's choosing] run the list from here on. With multiple people posting at the same time, it's a nightmare trying to keep that list up.

I'm just gonna say, forget the list, and just Heal Meta and hurt Shuriken for this post. I'll leave the list to Tails. There. Neeeext.

Deadline pushed up to Thanksgiving (November 26). I figure that no one feels like waiting until December for this. :P

Have all your nominations in by then, pleaseandthankyou.

Heal Meta, Hurt FemaleForte.

There. All nice and ABC'd for you guys.

Next time, N. :P

Also, A new rule suggestion to prevent gang-ups: You can't hurt or heal the same person in consecutive turns. So, for example, you can't heal Boss, and then heal Boss again on your next post. Gotta heal someone else. :P

Ow. Glad to see that you missed me, Bawwwwwwwss.

She's not here to hurt, really, so, I'll hurt FemaleForte and give it to someone who's actually here....uhhhhhh......T.J.! [TobyJoey]

Also, Meta, you forgot to heal someone in your 1st post. and Bawss isn't in this. :P

@Retro Pikachu : It WILL be in less than 72 hours, actually, so, double thanks. :P

So, some fuzzhead named Mikey has been a Member of Prototype for 1 Year starting today [I actually thought it was yesterday! HAH!].

W00t!

@MusicalKitty : Boss has a bit of a point, what with them directly facing the 4th wall. They're REALLY small, too.

Bumpity, so that this thread is on the Community section's front page.

@matthewftw123 : Can't fault you for that. Thanks for trying, anyway, though.

@TheDoc : Ah, HERE it is. I was wondering where this went. Since there's no actual RPing done in this thread, I figured it'd be best left in the General section. :P
It was a borderline thing, so I thought. Sorry. x)

@Tobyjoey : You know I'm gonna call it Bowl Man, right? xD
I do wonder how he throws bowling balls, though...
Actually, T.J., I'm calling it. If you'd be glad to sprite for me, I'd be glad to have to as a spriter. You're in. =)

===
Just in case Life decides to treat an accepted spriter like crap, I know I'll need more than one spriter, so, please keep your samples coming if you're interested. There's still no deadline, but, still, the sooner, the better.

...also, bumpity, since this is in a new section, now.

This interview was SOOOOO STUPID! x)

Next up is.....I'm not saying that joke again. He's used it up, enough, already, what with the spinning, and the "baby".

Spinstrike. AND I WANT MORE THAN TWO PEOPLE SUGGESTING this time, pleaseandthankyou!

@Tobyjoey : Were it not for directly facing the 4th wall, I'd say that this is as good as Swamp. One more? Please?

@DaCrashBomber : You made all 3 of those? They look pretty darn good, if I'm totally honest. Do you have any more?

@matthewftw123 : The whole point of the thread is for you to showcase your best works, Matthew, so, try to refrain from posting things you haven't finished, yet, pleaseandthankyou.

@Brimstone : Halberd is pretty impressive, actually. Not shabby at all. Post more if you have any.

Also--and I just edited this part into the opening post--I can't accept you if you wish to work alongside Adrian and Boss in the REAL Prototype, unless and until I have Adrian's DIRECT blessing for you to work with me on Armageddon. As I've stated in the opening post, it would be unfair to Adrian, Boss, and all of Prototype's fans for me to take valuable resources away from it for any reason.

Nothing personal, but, I can't do that to Adrian; he has a hard enough time with Prototype as it is without me taking things from it.

@MusicalKitty : ...not entirely sure that's in MM-classic style; his heads looking right at the 4th wall. :P
Try a smaller more, MM-Classic-based creation.

@Brimstone : "If we're all supposed to be using an 8-bit style here, then I'm pretty sure I may or may not have just went slightly out of it."

That. *points up*
8-bit MM-style is preferred, since Armageddon's visuals will be in said style, and I can more accurately judge the qualities of sprites that way.

@Shadownnico : Go crazy. Surprise me. Just be in 8-bit MM Classic style.

@Tobyjoey : Whichever style allows you to better showcase your skills. Take your time. I'm in no rush.

@Brimstone : Yes, that. Read the opening post, again. :P

@Tobyjoey : HAH. Lily pad on his head. Hehe.
Swamp isn't shabby at all, actually. You have any more like this [I did say sample*s*]?

@MusicalKitty : As I've never played any game from the Mother series, I wouldn't be able to [accurately] judge how good this looks.
Now, 8-bit MM-style sprites on the other hand..... :P

@Meta : The whole point of me posting the thread is to see how talented of a spriter you are BEFORE I bring you on as a spriter, Meta. :P

@Tobyjoey : Of course not. Go nuts. Just make sure that the guidelines set in the opening post are followed.

@MegaBoyX7 : Should've saw that coming [ xD ]. Remember the part where I said it couldn't be an OBVIOUS frankenedit at a glance?
Do you have any works that DON'T look like they come straight off of Mega Man?

Pardon the double post, but, I'm the one that originally made it possible for the AJAX Chat to be the new chat, so, it's only fair that I do this, since it's down.

I'm already there. Enjoy.

Backup Chat

It's not just a Chrome thing. IE 11 over here, and the bug is real here, too. Wheeeee. -_-

Thank you so very much for your questions, fellow Prototypers. I had a blast answering them.

Next up is--Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeey, who you calling "stupid"?!

StupidStudiosN [formerly Phantom Man]! Suggest away.

It's DONE! Get a snack, fellow programs; this is a long one.

You might've been wondering why I waited so long to interview Boss.

That's because I wanted him to be #9, so that your gift for allowing me to make it to #10 would beeeeee...

.....me.

Yeah. Me. How an I gonna interview myself? Easy, with 20 Community Q's chosen by BOSS [though, Boss can still only suggest 7 like every1 else]!

So, yeah, me. Ask away. =)

There's a Rule #9, now. Just saying.

I know this is Boss's job and all, but, everyone needs to know about this.

*ahem*

Don't forget to drop by the Chat on Sunday, June 14 at 6:00 PM, Eastern for this week's Sunday Night Chat as ThatGuyNamedMikey [might] releases his proposed rough draft remodeling of Prototype's Demo Mode! He'll also reveal a pastebin with contents that may very well allow him to singlehandedly make the Speed stat completely relevant [for once]!

Don't miss it!

@.@

I'm out. *drops mic*

No, seriously, I'm out. Those things are hyper broken POS's that take suck up everything that's still fun about pkmn and vomits 'em in your face; there's a reason more and more of them will become illegal in official Nintendo-sanctioned tournaments.

Also, it's still digivolving. x)
