2016 APCT First Round Discussion Thread: There Can Be Only One!

So what do we do if more characters get zero votes in the prelims? As has already been stated the chances of that are way up due to the single vote system.
I've suggested that we have a filler match, one where all the zero votes compete against each other. Though if it was titled like that it would be hard to get people to vote…. lol maybe "Who is the biggest looser" or something like that.

What's that? My desire for this knowledge is filled with curiosity and fear.

That would be the male equivalent of boob campaigns (which try to use fanservice to try to gain votes). It specifically refers to that one scene with Rayleigh in Amazon Lily.

I think I know what you mean. I'd post it to know if I was correct, but I don't want to get in trouble, so let's just say it's a mystery campaign.

I think I found the image lmao. Too bad manglaze is outlawed.

And to any others who wonder what manglaze is…
The original source is the image of Ray-san climbing out the ocean in ch. 591 and can be seen hereIt used to be used (heck I used it in the past!) but someone pointed out that it was unfair to not allow boob campaigns but allow that image as it was basically the same thing= sexualized images.
-
Yes, it's all fun and games until Trebol ends up in a g-string…

Yup. That's the one. Silver Fox Raleigh. Lol.

So, you're saying that Rayleigh can also use the powers of Foxy's Slow-Slow Fruit? Gasp!

Shoot, both Kaido and my nom Detamaruka are in Round 7…tough decisions to make...
-
AP has a thing for fat dudes, in the future I think the tournaments will be like this:

! That's all muscle:ninja:
-
I loved Manglaze. And the banning of it inspired my Waynes World campaign, so I love it even more!
-
Some clarification: Machvise is not actually the 2016 Champion… instead, he shall now be known as the ZerOu, or Zero King. Because who said the numbers go from 1-8?
As the ZerOu has already been crowned, the zero vote rule is no longer in effect, so vote for whomever you want! Any further zeroes shall not have an effect on this tournament. Who will be crowned the 2016 Champion? We'll have to keep this ball rolling to find out. Match 7 will be posted later today, so keep an eye out.

Are you implying that I can't unleash my secret stash of disturbing yaoi, stored away in the deepest pits of forsaken humanity? gasp

We took a break yesterday, but later that day the next match will be up.
-
The match will be up at the usual time, maybe a bit earlier to make up for the day we skipped.Get your campaigns ready!The match is now live.
-
Yay, Kaido pulled through! Thanks to everyone who voted for him (I foolishly didn't)
-
If and when the final tournament occurs, do you [mods] think it will include every character?
-
Final tournament? What final tournament?
-
-
Woot, that last match was amazing. Very close match all the way through. This is why I like this tournament.
-
Great match !! Very disputed, I want more !!
-
Match 8 was real fun. I'm not even mad Wicca didn't made it. If I miss her, I just go through this thread again. You guys fully captured her spirit in there. All thanks to you, Kubi and Femme.
-
Yeah, it was a very lively match. If I hadn't needed to use my vote as a tie-breaker, I might have given it to Wicca and her bandwagon.
-
This is why I really like this tournament. I'll admit, I didn't expect the Wizards of Weatheria to advance to round 2. But I'm happy that they did, since its minor characters are having a chance in the tournament. I also want to say that I really like the Wicca campaign during the match.
-
Well it was fun making campaigns for her anyway ^_^ Next year will be the year o.o
-
Thank you everyone who enjoyed the Wicca campaigns! I had a blast! Definitely the most fun I've had in a character tournament so far! :D
Next year is the year of Wicca!
-
The biggest obstacle for Wicca was that Oda presumably forgot about her mid-arc. I mean, seriously, when the arc was starting out she was rocking it with the personality and humor and suddenly there's a million people and she's nowhere to be seen.
Nice to see some love remains though!

This single vote system has been pretty interesting so far. It's opening the way to the second round for some characters who would normally not be there.
Also, a pattern that I seem to notice in many matches is that at first a bunch of people just begin voting until 1, 2 or 3 characters have a clear lead; at this point new voters begin focussing on places 4 and 5 and mostly stop voting for the characters that apparently don't have chance anyway. So most matches end up with 5 characters with significantly more votes than the rest and a very narrow gap between places 4 and 5.
I'm not saying that's bad (or good), it's just an observation that I found interesting :P
-
Wow, how is possible that I didn't notice the tournament has already begun? Surprisingly some big names are already out, Doflamingo above all!
-
This seems like a dangerous question to ask… but what's with the Satori running joke? When did it started?
I feel like I am prodding on dangerous territory here...

ducks and covers
Actually I don't remember what started that anymore. I just view it as something that is.

Happy Red Nose Day!
(Honestly, Idk why I'm doing this, I just thought it was an appropriate time to do so)
-
I think at some point there was a match where the poll question was something along the lines of "who should not move on to the next round?", but no one really noticed it. So, Satori lost that match, which actually meant he won, and then things turned crazy.
(Or was this something else that happened later? I feel like my memories have gotten mixed up or something.)
-
The more I learn about the history of AP… the more I question myself: what was I thinking on that fateful day of November 2015 :ninja:

Actually it was, "Who shouldn't don't move to the next round in this opposite day".

Was that the same year he got an auto-pass because there were only 7 champions?
Or something like that? Did I just make that up?

We had five and needed eight; one went to Fred, one went to Doma, and the other went to Satori. All three were chosen based on the reception that they had received in the past; Fred was surprisingly popular, people liked the Monkey, and Satori was just hated. Not in the "What a colossal dick!" way people hate Spandam, but in a visceral "I hate his voice. I hate his design. I hate everything about him" way that no other character rivaled in the previous Tournaments.
-
Ah crap I was technically promising like. Amazing campaigns or something earlier in support of Apoo but then my mood tripped over something on the way. Is Apoo gonna lose because my mood is a piece of shit and can't get itself together?
-
Wow I did not expect Drake to pull through!
YESSSS -
Not in a good mood to campaign for Smiley today, If I have time tomorrow I campaign for him but will not be anything special.
-
Knowing AP's staff and their sense of humor, I have a pretty good feeling Machvise is gonna terrorize the later rounds.
-
Jinbe, Big Mom, Shanks, and The Angel Beach Angels (and fox) advance to Round 2!
I'm probably stealing this. I need some new campaigns now, after all. I…did not plan for this. D:
-
That was a well fought battle, good job Huschel
-
I'm just waiting for the Last Chance Qualifier where Wicca, Stelly and the grand fleet duke it out.
