ULTIMATE CHARACTER TOURNAMENT

[Super Mario Bros.]

Tonight was the fifth meeting; we covered Kirby.  Only SMB was there.  We started a while late, but we got things taken care of.  We added 11 characters, but 0 maybes.

The fifth meeting's recap.



We will begin Mario next week!

Indeed. I can't wait, this is forming very well. ^_^

All polls have 11-25 votes at this point!  When the actual tournament begins, we'll have a ton more.  Hopefully 50+ for each matchup!

Tonight was the sixth meeting.  We began Mario and got about halfway through because we ran long.  We got through every game from Jumpman to SMRPG and added 46 more characters!  BTW, we're going in chronological order by when the games were released, so don't have a cow if your favorite character isn't on there.  MG1 was there for most of the meeting; Tehchomps was very active as well; Packy was there for a good chunk of time; SMB, SLNO, and Yoshario also pitched in.  Hopefully, we'll finish Mario next week, but I have the feeling it will go into November 4th's meeting.

The sixth meeting's recap.

The character list.

Next week's meeting will begin about a half-hour late.

November 18th's meeting will begin about a half-hour early.

We keep getting more and more votes on the questions; thanks to all the voters!

I'm surprised meeting attendance has never been higher than 6.  We're getting tons of votes on the polls.

Perhaps this is like the MarioWiki Awards: A ton of people vote, but few plan it

Let's hope so.

*Sigh*...I wouldn't have to double post if more people posted here...

Tonight was the seventh meeting.  At first, Tucky and SLNO were there, but they had to leave for various reasons, and SMB was working on things on the Sports Wiki Forum, which left me do do all the work, exlcuding when Tehchomps was there.  We added 63 more Mario characters and finished the Mario series.  Next week, we will cover Brawl characters from other series (unless that vote doesn't pass, which is unlikely) and begin seeding characters and forming the bracket.

Glad to hear things went... At least partially well. Hopefully more people will start attending the meetings. I was busy this time, but hopefully I can make the next one in its entirity.

Please go back to the first page of this topic, it pretty much contains information about how to attend the meetings and whatnot.

Two meetings would be too much, but if anyone is on chat and wants to help, I'll be happy to get some one-on-one work done.

[Stooben Rooben]

Pinned and moved.

[Sharks Territory]

Good.

On Friday, I closed the polls for which characters would enter the tournament.

After removing the nonsense votes from the vote percentage question, I averaged out the rest, and a character would need 57% approval to enter the tournament.

So, without further ado, I present to you the results of...the maybes.

Tonight was the eighth meeting.  It didn't last long because I had worked with SMB, MG1, and Tucky throughout the week.  Also, there was a World Series game, and we were all messing around with GameServ.  SLNO, SMB, MG1, DHS, and 2257 were all there to help.  SSB was already covered, we added the two SMRPG partners (Mallow and Geno), and we began seeding.

Here's how seeding works:
There are exactly 222 characters.  Therefore, to reach 128 characters (128 works will with brackets), we need to eliminate 94 characters.  The top 34 characters will receive byes, and will directly advance to Round 2.  The next 94 will be matched against the lowest 94 in the first round.

Tonight, we took care of the top 34.

Tonight's recap.

The final character list!

The seeding.

Tonight was the ninth meeting.  SLNO was there for the start; Tucky and MG1 contributed throughout.  We began working on the second tier of characters for seeding.  We also created a new poll: Should Super Mario Galaxy Bosses be included in the tournament?  You can vote on it here.

Reminder:Next Wednesday's meeting will begin a half-hour early!

I'm sorry that I could not make it >.< I had a lot of work to do today, so I missed the meeting by about 2 hours. Anyway, when is our next meeting?

[Sharks Territory]

Wednesday the 18th; 7 pm Eastern.  We're beginning a half-hour early so that we can end early; I'm gonna be busy that night.
