Character Battle 12: Final Results/Podcast
Thursday, 5 August 2010 18:12So there we go, everyone. 12 contests are now done, and now we've a year to wait before I host another.
It's been a fun one--with my real-life health issues aside, I enjoyed this contest. I enjoyed how diverse the bracket was, using characters that were mostly off the beaten path, as it were. I enjoyed the fact that with your help, I created a tournament that represented almost 60 individual games. I enjoyed the fact that 19 of you entered.
And hopefully you'll enter CB13, regardless of the theme.
I also enjoyed that after all that, you still could not decide who would be the champion of Character Battle 12. Unless I'm mistaken (and I'll have to check my contest records), this contest came down to a tiebreaker vote when the time ran out, and Luigi and Midna remained deadlocked. I had to call on a tiebreaker, and when it was all said and done, it would be Luigi winning in a 13-12 final battle that saw 6 people get the battle correct.
With 11 people having either Luigi or Midna in the final battle, that set us up for a thrilling finish. Would EyesOfATragedy make history and win her 3rd contest, something no one has done before? Would she, having been in 1st for nearly the entire contest, walk off with the win? Or would someone who had been lurking in 2nd or 3rd for most of the contest seize the championship right out from under her? As the final battle begin, another real possibility arose: would Jesse, our defending champion, and someone who'd been hanging around the middle of the pack this whole time, also do what no one has done and win two in a row?
Who will take home the $60, the $40, and the $25 prizes?
