FINAL MATCH! Jinbe vs. Noland!

@Jabra:

Alright, this is it then.

I know it doesn't look too great, but there is not much time left before this thread gets closed so yeah…the last Jinbe campaign I will ever make should go to you guys. Thanks for supporting Jinbe and campaigning like mad during this match :cwy:

I can't say I'm happy about the outcome of this final, but be sure that I won't remember it as a painful loss. It was another, epic opportunity to have fun with the people I really like, and thats why I don't only have to thank you, but all the Jinbe voters and supporters as well who pushed my favorite Goomba so far!

I'll keep it short then,

:cwy:!

Good game,man. Good game.
Why does Makino looks canadian on that pic, we'll never know

There you go, Nuthead. Now you can be the desktop background for a couple days…

[Silverblade]

Definitely not the result I expected. But who did expect ARCT 2013 to have a Jinbe vs Noland final? This tournamnet brought more surprises than any other in the recent memory. And that is a great thing.

Jinbe camp, and your leader, Jabra, made a hell of an effort to get here. This tournament wouldn't be half as fun without you. Even if it isn't enough, thank you!

Noland camp, you guys did it. You carried a flashback character from 2003 above every character of One Piece. It's a magnificent victory. Thank you!

Noland! We are here!

Thank you, Jabra. I am glad that I was able to show my support (and that it didn't cost me my life).

You did an awesome job, man. And I'll eat my leg if your 200 campaign post doesn't win an award for 2013….

It should be the only nomination in its category and everyone should vote for it! :D

I second this notion!

[Red Hawk]

The Jimbei Hype Train has come to a stop. It will start again at the next AP Character Tournament. So Long.:sad:

[Enzeru]

Now look at this. Norland did it! Congrats!

I thought you had class, Ubiq. What a let-down.

Good thing we had a fishman on board so no casualties:ninja:, besides losing the race.

@Toraish:

It's probably a metaphor for Jimbe going underwater where it has the advantage.Unless it's intended at Noland.In which case it's a metaphor for the city of Atlantis.It's like a legend,soak in the atmosphere.

I think that Dryish knows that but he is disappointed that Ubiq posted that gif for Jimbei

[TheXDrake]

We actually did it, Noland won!

This was an amazing final match

[No Maam]

Congratulations guys. You indeed did it !

[Archie Griffs]

I am so shocked and so happy at the same time. It's like a pikachu just jumped into my arms.

[C_uggs]

Congratulations to both Jinbei and Noland supporters.

I never have thought that Noland would win…Well, Cirno was always sure of his victory.

Right, Cirno ?

Cirno: Yeah, chestnuts are awesome and tasty. That´s why they ALWAYS win.

We should probably end with that Lion King song.

You mean like this?

It's like that + this

So yes, lots of feels :D.

@Red:

He's a legend and he should not be mocked at. :getlost:

No, it's just a manga's character. Don't take it personally when I use internet for few laughs. :)

[Devil G.]

Honestly, I would be happy with either winning, but seeing a character from a 10-year old flashback get the upper hand… I have no words.

I feel a bit sorry about Jabra though. You Jinbe supporters did a wonderful job, and I'm sure Jinbe will make it far next year as well.

[andre]

I can't believe Noland won. What a great match this has been.

[Zack]

Voted for Jinbe after Jabra's amazing campaigns, but I'm still good with the outcome here since Noland was my original top pick.

[glass]

Quick question,does the poll become public now that it's over or does it stay private?

[labmate]

Welp.

It's over.

sob

[joesephes]

So Noland won.

No surprise there.

[glass]

@joesephes:

So Noland won.

No surprise there.

It's as suprising as him making it to the finals in the first place.

So yeah it's pretty suprising

[Darkestsith6]

Wow, Noland came back? he was getting trounced earlier. Thought it was a runaway by Jinbe

[glass]

@Darkestsith6:

Wow, Noland came back? he was getting trounced earlier. Thought it was a runaway by Jinbe

Yeah Jimbe kept a steady 15 vote lead up until he reached 100 votes.After that Noland managed to catch up and get a 10 vote lead which he kept until he won.The figures given are approximated.

[akagami7]

this is a dream come true.

[Apprentice]

How the hell did this end up being the final match?

[Noqanky]

This was such a glorious final, through and through. Any of these characters winning is a sweet, sweet victory for AP forums as a whole

The only sadness now is that it's over :\

[labmate]

Now we await the crowing moment.

I'm gonna miss this tournament.

[dwo]

This was one of the best finals ever. Totally unexpected and very exciting.

[andre]

I'd say this is the best tournament since I've been here, if only for the unpredictable finale….
1. Noland's year
2. Whitebeard's year (this was a great year, but whitebeard slaughtered everyone)
3. Robin's year
4. Bon's year

[trappedolphin]

This is so amazing.

[JarmenKell]

[Don Quichotte De Flamingo]

Noland didn`t lie in the end, when he declared to become APCT Champion. :)

[DemonX]

Great finale, also quite happy Noland got to win this! Jinbei wins after being an official Nakamate ;D

[MANUELF]

Cant believe Noland is the champion, this year was a weird tournament, I say it should be every two years instead of one to evade tiredness

[Gokuyuske]

Congrats Norland! One of the greatest flashback characters in all of OP!

On that note…Hiluluk 2014!

[Robby]

Anyway, ya'll have had a while to celebrate the victory now. Congrats to Noland!

Closing ceremonies will be soon.

Great tourney everyone!
