First Round Discussion Thread

Mr M

/me cracks knuckles

Let's prepare Buggy fans

Cyber-Robin

I hope they're against the winner of Croc/WB. That would be too much awesome to see that match.

Juvar

Meh, I figure we're not going to change our minds, and most of us have been talking like this is the case.

Buggy AND Otohime will move on together to the next round and will end up in a 3-way match with another character.

Good decision.

@eerie:

Buggy AND Otohime will move on together to the next round and will end up in a 3-way match with another character.

You will see that this will just lead to another tie between those two and the third character will be out.

Looking at the next matches… Dear God, they're going to be so hard to choose! >.<
I'd say the next will be the easiest and then it's on to the last six...

Crocodile vs Pops - Manly epic battle of DOOM!!! No idea who to choose for that one.
Robin vs Mr 3 - I love Robin, but… San-chan! Who to pick?
Ivankov vs Norland - Oh God, manliest of men vs okama king (queen?)
Ace vs Moriah - Well, easy enough for me, at least. A slight breather amidst the tumultuous battles.
Nami vs Kid - Love Nami. Love Kid. Nuuuuu!
Bartholomew Kuma vs Zoro - ;.; Love both too. No fair!

God, the next few days are gonna be hard~

MetaMario

Holy crap. ….I never looked at the match listing this whole round. Maybe I wasn't too focused on the tourney. (makes mental note to campaign more next round) Ah well. Let me say my remaning picks.

@Ubiq:

Brook vs Hiking Bear!

Too easy.

Crocodile vs 'Whitebeard' Edward Newgate!

….Damn it. Both are awesome, why can't both advance? Might vote for Croc again but we'll see.

Nico Robin vs 'Mr. 3' Galdino!

Oh come on! Robin is great, but Mr. 3 has always been a favorite of mine. Undecided for now, leaning towards Robin.

Emporio Ivankov vs Montblanc Norland!

He had a badass flashback.

Portgas D. Ace vs Gekko Moriah!

(Why do I feel either choice will put me in hot water?) Undecided, they're both not my favorites.

Nami vs Eustass Kid!

Oh joy.

Nami vs. a Supernova again. Yay. Nami is continously underrated in this forum, and she'll get my vote, easy.

Bartholomew Kuma vs Roronoa Zoro

Awesome match-up. Kuma and Zoro have shown their intense honor, but Zoro is second to only Luffy in my personal ranking.

zachri

Seems I'm gonna miss Robin vs Mr 3.
[/meh]

also, the results of the match just occured - well done.
YOU HAVE DONE ME PROUD…
[/cries manry tears]

also - Y U VOTE AGAINST KIDD?!
[/has a bet to win vs Nami… fuuuuu-]

MetaMario

@zachri:

[/has a bet to win vs Nami… fuuuuu-]

Hold the phone.

You're for Kidd, and I'm for Nami, right? ….Just like last year's Nami vs. Law. All I have to say is:

Let the games begin.

MagiciteKefka

For everyone undecided on Robin vs Mr. 3 I can say this. Nia has made a Mr. 3 Hattori. She hasn't made a Robin Hattori. Case closed.

In all honesty though, vote Mr. 3!

Even though I'm all for Mr. 3, I beg to differ.

/EDIT: Though I have to say I like ID Mr. 3 more.

Actually, she has. :ninja:
I'm personally still not sure who to vote for against that match. Sure, Galdino is great … but he's against Robin. Likewise, Robin is great, but then … it's Mr. 3!! Hopefully there's strong campaigns on both sides.

MagiciteKefka

Oh… I feel so... defeated. I though you hadn't done Robin yet! Well... you made Mr. 3 before Robin anyway! I hope...

piratemarimo

wait wait, Meta!!? You're here! I didn't recognize you for a moment. Clearly you need a Kenpachi-tori so I can recognize you better. :ninja: Hope you participate more in the following matches. Especially tomorrow…

….

Okay, Kenpachi-tori sounds pretty awesome, but I'll wait to get my usage out of Eneltori. And thanks, I like participating. I just wish I had any artistic talent to make epic campaigns, but I'm fine with what I can manage.

And yes, Croc vs. Pops is gonna be hardcore. I'm leaning towards ol' Mr.0 at the moment, but I can't ignore WB. ....I'm torn.

ha ha, it's funny because I was thinking of using the Enel-tori for his next match. but then again I like the current one too much. I know what you mean, I can't even use photoshop.

Here, let me help you make the right choice Meta ;D

Thanks once again, Urouge! :D

I nearly forgot just how much of an awesome BAMF Croc is… I was gonna vote for him, but this just makes it certain. All props to Urouge.

Edit: Why does the animation look just so much damn better than the current episodes? :ninja:

MetaMario

(That video reminded me to better appeciate what us fans can make.)

Crocodile…..and Gangster's Paradise.....

Well, that was an easy choice. Crocodile Forever! Kuhahahahahaha!

Outerspec

Everyone on this page has some kind of Hattori avatar.

It would suck if someone broke that chain…

I'm pretty excited for the Crocodile vs. Whitebeard match. I have a feeling because Whitebeard was last year's champ people will feel he had enough glory already and vote to keep Croc in the tournament whereas Whitebeard can have a nice early retirement. Who knows, maybe we'll see the old man has some more fight in him. I hope he will, and I have some campaigns from last year to use anyway...>_>

GO WHITEBEARD!!!

Your avatar would look good as a Hattori-version :ninja: Just sayin'

B-But this era is named Whitebeard!

Then again… Mister Zero....

I don't want to live in a world where I have to choose only one!

Sai-chan

Whitebeard won last year. I'm goin' with Crocodile~

Kitsune Inferno

Sai made me a foxy fem Croc.

This match was decided before it even began. ^^

And I still have to draw Mari a Crocodile for voting Buggy~ Muahahaha~

As sorrowful as it is, the era of Whitebeard ended with his death.

Vote Crocodile!

Croc7

Croco better rape pops tommorow.
I know WB is one of the best characters but so is Croc.

This year we believe in Gotd's legacy:ninja: and Croc's/Oda's greateness..

Fire-Fist

Pops is the only one worthy of winning it more than once. Go Whitebeard!

LMAO @ Buggy tying with Shira. He had such a movement last time and now look at it struggle.

I don't even recall any positive comments for Shira outside of the few ppl that want her to join.

Buggy tied with Shirahoshi? :blink:

^ This. ^

And as an ardent supporter of Otohime (though by no means as ardent as I would have liked…I'll be working on that), I give you my assurance that that tie was by no means an easy thing to accomplish. Buggy's fan-base was out in force.

Otohime is just that awesome, as are her campaigners (Hiroy and Kitsune, in particular).

Nami

If we could only have Zoro's match before Nami's match…. I'd be able to donate more money this month to AP hint, hint :ninja:....

eerie

Yess… yesss.. vote for Crocodile! This is his year!

Mr M

Oops fail zika

And Buggy has many followers but many haters aswell+ Otohime has a lot of supporters for this year

Believe me, this match between Crocodile and Whitebeard, will have campaigns you would have never imagined was possible.

I'm getting excited as hell. I pray my internet doesn't crap out on me again.

jeez you guys are no fun

Mr M

I'll post it once more but

Croc has my support

Juvar

@eerie:

jeez you guys are no fun

Oh shush you :ninja:

Nia

I'M READY!

….

Actually, no, I'll be leaving for work in a few minutes. :ninja:
But Croc has my definite support. He deserves to win this, by all means. Though I have no idea how the majority of the voters will think about this. Ah well, as long as it doesn't end in a landslide victory for one side (whichever side it may be) it should be fine ...

piratemarimo

Hear that AP? The mighty Ttoruazquess supports Croc.

Please don't remind me cause it'll probably end up worse cause Nami has so many supporters and Kidd has so many haters ; A ;
