Continuing from the prior thread (which was shut along with the rest of that forum), this will be the new home for the tournament. I'm not planning to extend the deadline for Round 1 voting, though.
With Smash Ultimate's DLC ending and even though the next game is probably 3-5 years into the future, I think it would be cool to find out who the most wanted newcomers are on Smash Boards. Nimbostratus did something like this for Ultimate before the game was shown off at E3 and now that several big characters have already made it in, I'd like to see where things stand now (and then I'd like to see this tournament done again when the next game is announced to see how things change).
First, I plan to do a tournament for first party unique newcomers and then third party unique newcomers and then echo newcomers.
I'm going to start off with a qualifying round, where you have 100 first party unique newcomers to choose from. In this round, you are essentially picking the characters you want to see in the tournament (which will have either 16, 32 or 64 characters depending on how many votes are cast and where the votes fall). As a result, you can vote for multiple characters in this round. It's actually encouraged. For example, if you want Waluigi, Skull Kid, Dixie Kong and Krystal, feel free to vote for all of them in this qualifying round. Of course it does defeat the purpose if you just vote for everyone listed, so I recommend that people try to limit it to 64 max (not sure if there's a way for me to manually add a limit).
How many votes characters get can also help determine their placement in the tournament proper.
Here is the Google Form to cast your votes for Round 2: https://forms.gle/62yfnYWVibthgqbW9
Not sure how long I will keep this up, but I will let people know ahead of time when I plan to cease voting for the qualifying round. I just want to give people an opportunity to vote first.
You can view the qualifying round as an opportunity for us to make a tournament as a group as opposed to just me making the matchups.
I have added a bracket created by
Nimbostratus
for the first round.
