Guys! Tournament entries are closed and the following people made the bracket.
Oh yeah, my number was 23, based on a great song and a pretty neat movie.
I've been trying to incorporate everyone in it, but ultimately decided that it's probably best to keep it short and simple, by just sticking to the 8-man knockout format. But not to worry, I will keep those who didn't make it in reserve just in case one of the other characters won't compete, which has happened in the past.
And I know that's a shoddy-looking bracket right there, but don't panic, Juan will add some flare to it when he officially posts it. As for the battle pairings themselves? I think it's going to be an interesting tournament, now with all these new characters and Kidd.
The rules? I found a post I made it about it last time, which will thankfully save me a lot of time.

Belcoot and Kyle muns have done this in previous years, so I think they should remember how it works too, if you want their assistance while I'm not online.
The games will begin next weekend~ Good luck, Kidd fighters!
EDIT: Another thing I forgot to mention is that the dice system isn't really a staple in these things. I think I've said that in the past, but people always just preferred to use these Pahn-mun's method and it kind of evolved, I suppose.
Anyway, you can really just use whatever system you're both comfortable with, whether it's by coin toss, rock-paper-scissors or RPing prose. I remembered that Lucas posted a system around the time I joined and I bookmarked it because I thought we had to learn it. Can be found here:

I want this to be drama-free! XD; At least I don't really have to be there myself, unless you want a referee, but please remember to save the log if I'm not there!
