Wow, that must've taken a while to make. Good job!

Also, congrats on the red star, Dryish.

zachri

Dryish got the red star?
Congratulations.
Rainbow woulda been more fitting with your avi but oh well ;D
PRETTY STARS ALL UP IN HERE.
I'm too crazy to have a star ~~probably.~~

@Warp:

Right. There just can't be too much Urogue.

Of course not, i almost cried when i saw he lost in the preliminaries, but it won't happen again next year. There will be more Urouge shared than ever ( his chances of appearing in the manga before the next tournament are really high, so i hope that helps too :DDDDDDD ).

PS: I also forgot to mention Buggy. Man, how's that possible?

Mastello

No closing ceremonies yet? Well then I'll just go and thank staff and everyone for making this an amazing tournament. At first I felt pretty stupid for forgetting to vote Crocodile in the end but not anymore, because I believe Bon is someone whose victory we can all be happy about. I definitely can.

zachri

When y'all planning on doing the closing ceremony?
Hope I can join in in some form…
MAY MY SPIRIT BE WITH YOU.
And may the forum awards cometh fast.

Noqanky

I think aside from supporting Lawfare, Chopper and Jinbe, next year should be a ripe year for villians.

Croc, Enel, Magellan, and probably Doflamingo given current events … 2013 is coming!

Also, again props to everyone! 2012 was a weird year but some events were fantastically memorable. Sanji proving a good match against Zoro, Ray finally being taken down after madness against Jinbe and Nami, Law taking down every single previous champion before losing to the one who would be this year's champion, and the stupidly intense final that no one expected but we all deserved.

Thank you AP, glad to be a part of this! Maybe one summer I will have time to provide more campaigns than I have been able to ... we'll see I guess, we have a decade more of OP for that!

Yes, it is. After all Oda has given hints of that the 11 Supernova being big players in the future of Piracy.

[HIDE] [/HIDE]
Back then it says "these men, who are to forge a new pirate age…" and now after the war & timeskip, they (along with BB) are the "Worst Generation".
So far we've seen most of the 11 Supernova, and they seem to be forming alliances. I say seem since Kidd, Hawkins & Apoo are just shown gathering to talk about an alliance so far.=
Luffy -Strawhats-Heart Alliance
Zoro -Strawhats-Heart Alliance
Law -Strawhats-Heart Alliance
Kidd - Kidd-Hawkins-On Air Alliance
Killer - Kidd-Hawkins-On Air Alliance
Hawkins - Kidd-Hawkins-On Air Alliance
Apoo - Kidd-Hawkins-On Air Alliance

Thats 7 out of 11, leaving only 4 that we've not seen yet.
Bege
Bonny
X Drake
Urouge

I am certain that Oda will show them in the next year. Question is, will any of those four join up with Luffy & Law, and if those remaining form their own alliance. IF just one of them joins Luffy/Law, and other three ally with each other, that could form 3 alliances that are formed with 3 crews. IF the reamianing four don't join an existing alliance and form their own alliance, then there would three allainces that # of crews would go 2-3-4

Elfman

I think Vergo might be excellent campaign material and a good contender depending on how his charachter develops from now on.

Just imagine all the stuff that could stick to his face.

Juvar

That can be understood REAL wrong but… I'm all for it lol. I like him, really want him to do well next year - count me in.

Noqanky

If a marine were to win the tournament it should be Garp or Smoker.

I would have said Aokiji as well but he's not really a marine anymore …

Deviant_Mugen

Nonsense, Tashigi should be the first Marine to win! :ninja:

Katzztar

WEll with current Punk HAzard arc, it will give Tashigi a better chance than she did this year. I still can't beieve those chapters showing her in better light literally came only days AFTER her match that saw her loose! IF the chapters had been earlier I would have voted for Tashigi as she really has done a lot in them or been shown in a good light (those citizens shown asking esp for Tashigi, not Smoker or other marine but her)

Fury283

If you want my own opinion, though most won't care, I can see Buggy rising up again soon… but we'll see. Donflamingo will probably put on a incredibly strong show soon since we're seeing more and more of him.
I'm having a hell of a time trying to figure out who's the main baddy in this series, Blackbeard or Donflamingo.... hrm

Noqanky

Tashigi made it far when facing the likes of Doctorine and Satori … When we're talking about the likes of Croc, Enel, Magellan, Hattori, Nami, Zoro, Buggy, Brook, Hiruluk, Bellemere, past champions (and current queen) and characters that are bound to rise like DoFlamingo, she still has looong to go.

The potential is there, but many characters are bound to champion before I feel she has what it takes. Alternatively, you could spend lots of time designing more campaigns and start campaigning from now ...

Ashura_KingFisher

If Shanks appears and does something awesome next year, it could be his.

NateRich

Can I reserve my seat on the Buggy bandwagon?
It's going to be flashy as hell

Prismeru

Aokiji will return and will be a serious contender next year. Garp winning would be pretty cool.

Sano

This year touranment was pretty damn great with that great finale of a match. For next year, I kinda already know who I want to support in someways. But here is my list of characters that I will probably support. I can see a lot characters less popular characters doing well next year. This year tourament premaliary round shown that characters that not currently involed into the main story or haven't appeared for awhile can get far in this touranment.

Buggy
Foxy
Apoo
Perona
Moria
Jabra
Ryuma
Whitey Bay
Vista
Wiper

Next year, one thing I would like to see is more classic characters that we haven't seen for awhile get further into the touranment.

Excellent choices

Juvar

Enel :ninja:

DemonX

Bon-chan, hell yeah!!!

And I hope Buggy will never win again. Same goes for Hattori and all the other characters who haven´t really done enough to warrant them 1st place

Yep, that's exactly the point I'm expecting continous clashes between all them, but i think Bonney won't be part of any alliance, and that she will act alone in the shadows while hiding, or something like that

Kubihige

Next year is Brook's year!! And of course I'll also be supporting Hilulk, Zoro, Robin, Rayleigh, Laboon, Aokiji, Shushu, Sengoku, Garp, Fisher Tiger, Tom, and Perona :3

Well we even had helmet this time! Guess people just hate Apoo for some reason. Even Bepo doesn't have any problems in prelims every year:sad:

Gekko135

Vista for the win.

Hell most of the whitebeard pirates would be great campaign choices to back…. if not for the fact that they lack content... and I don't seem many of them coming back ANY time soon.

But fuck it man... VISTA!!

Why the Vista Hype? He Sucks balls.

@Sonic:

Why the Vista Hype? He Sucks balls.

I really don't know if you're serious or if you're tryign to make a joke…though if it was a Satori joke (balls part) one would expect to see a mention of the guy thats hyped up on balls

Just because someone wants a character they like to win and get some recognition doesn't mean it's 'hype'. Are they saying he's the strongest? No. Are they saying Vista can do things out of proportion of what he can do in canon? No, they are saying they support him. After all this contest is just a character's popularity contest among fans, not a 'Is he revelent" contest.

If there's something I'm familiar with it's unrelevant characters… (I'll never see Shakky win this!?)

But Vista... I dunno you guys. He's not that cool.

@Mastello:

No closing ceremonies yet?

@zachri:

When y'all planning on doing the closing ceremony?

They're being worked on. Most of the staff seems to have come down with an unfortunate case of Real life, so its taking a bit. But it's being worked on. It'll be posted when it's ready.

Jabra

@Kitsune:

I…I wasn't aware of that! Please forgive me.

I should have known, foxes and wolfs are not that far apart after all.

I also just googled chopped liver. Yup, looks disgusting.

What you did there….I see it.

Haha, yes, I made the typo, noticed it, but opted not to change it for that reason :3

I just hope I can be as active… since next year I'll either be going into employment or into University... a very busy year this year and next year < / 3
