Season 59 Nom pools

[superaielman]

If you need an explanation, check this link. You can also ask questions in this topic.

Pools close at Saturday at 10pm EST, next week. You can nominate three characters per game, but only two characters per division. You have to have between four and six characters per pool, and all four divisions must be the same size. (Heavy, Godlike, and Middle can't have six people while Light has four, etc). There are no limits on the number of nomination pools, so take your time, check to see what looks interesting, and have fun. Anyone from season 56 and before is available to be nominated this season. Reaons are not needed to submit a pool, we just do that for fun.

Not actually an Admin pro-tip: this link should link to all characters eligible for nomination this season. Check this as well. It's Hal's nomchecker and it kicks ass.

I usually make my nom pools by copy-pasting my old one and checking the records page for the current season and removing duellers who were in it.  I'm not sure if anyone is aware of this, but the records page for this season is a little weird and hard to follow. Most of the week 3-4 results are mixed up. For example, in the Ted-Citan godlike match it lists the winner as Claude and this problem persists throughout all of the divisions. If I had to guess it has something to do with the old week 3  split.

Also the if I understand the new upgrade/downgrade system, the upgrade/downgrade pool change could very well save the lights upgrade hopes. If we were using the old system the downgrade pool would include Sceptile, Mitsuru, and Ramza.

[Sei]

Godlike

1-4. New

1-5. All Season 0
6. Well, if Elly of all people was able to champ and upgrade with 100% sleep alone...

Light:
Emma Hetfield (WA:ACF), Jane Maxwell (WA:ACF), Pikachu (PKMN), Maria Balthasar (XG), Mukumuku (S2), Renault (FE7)

1. Godlike move list! Puny stats!

Also the if I understand the new upgrade/downgrade system, the upgrade/downgrade pool change could very well save the lights upgrade hopes. If we were using the old system the downgrade pool would include Sceptile, Mitsuru, and Ramza.

These three are the ones being spared; Shabon likely trounces all three without Funeral Wind (Sceptile is at least a decent match there), let alone with it.

There will be some wonkiness. Keep reporting it, as Hal is doing some back end work this week.

I know I started Nomming Janice 3 years ago because she was an easter themed nom since she is a bunny. I nominated Isadora almost as long, at least 2 or so years. I know I nominated Paine for a while before she got in too. Then she got in again right away.

I know it wasnt 4 years though, so Lance's Vormav wins. Kind of wierd he was out that long.

[Jo'ou Ranbu]

Godlike: Rika (PS4), Lady (SH3), Emelious (G3), Yuna (FFX), Lenneth Valkyrie (VPs), Belial (WA4).

1. Yesiu.jpg
2. I -think- she's nommable anyway. Regardless, the best thing about SH3 plot and one of my favorite Godlikes. Just don't draw Belial and rape her in Week 1.
3. Female-only playthrough scaling. Hell yeahs.
4. Om nom nom. Oddly, PD's old line fits for Yuna.
5. It has been a long time, Lenneth.
6. This is how you use a tank! as a stat. Also cooler than Vinsfried anyway.

Heavy: Tana (FE8), Lady Harken (WA), Angelo (DQ8), Maya Schroedinger (WA3), Edna Capone (SH3), Rune Walsh (PS4).

1. Sure!
2. Equating risk and death in an elegant mathematic manner? Why not.
3. Ciato fanservice and token Heavy healer nod.
4. Mocking Janus for being a virgin since 2002.
5. Why not.
6. Rune for Godlike hype? Elfboy's on to something.

Middle: Tengaar (Suikos), Florina (FE), Fiora (FE), Nelis (S5), Caina (WA2), Warlock (S4).

1. Talk to the hand, bitch.
2. Yay Peg. Knights!
3. Yay Peg. Knights! mk. 2.
4. Awesome and deserves a championship at least. Tangentially, screw Lemina.
5. Yeah. Plus, Sora's mother/father formchain hype or something. Regardless, a strong Middle.
6. I sorta need an Earth Rune quota. That and Warlock is too odd for me to not nom him.

Light: Estella (S3), Yumei (VP), Priscilla (FE), Meg (Suikos), Emma Hetfield (WA:ACF), Mallow (SMRPG).

1. Estella's no Shabon, but for solid Lights, she'll do.
2. Is mc Does the chicken dance.
3. Totally wants in Ciato's pants if we're to consider Elfboy = Lucius.
4. Hey look she owns Ryudo.
5. The best skillset to ever grace Light, saddled with some of the worst stats to shame the division. This gotta count for something.
6. Also needs to -actually win-.
