Assuming we're really going to go through with making a grand fan tournament, first of all there needs to be a thread made, second of all, I feel like voting should somewhat be inspired by how it was done in the real KFAD.

Remember the mains ways that characters were picked were either by the art team, by the rippers, as a fan submission or by the Backroom.

I feel like, with some small additions selecting contestants for the fan tournanment say let's call it King for Half a Day to show it's unofficiality, that it should follow that same formula as well as the two additions methods from King for Another Day, poll selection and executive choice.

However keep in mind that being a music tournament, music should obviously always be the main focus, if they don't have a good, powerful enough or TOO powerful source list, out they go.

5 characters chosen by virtue of depiction in fanart, or by fan-created or official art in the KFAD style Examples: Inspector Gadget, GIR, Jeb Bush

5 characters chosen by virtue of musical sources, this is more than likely where most of the musician characters would come from, this includes for example games SiIva has ripped that you feel they need to rip more, jokes or songs used by SiIva, other mashups on the internet or just music you like in general. Possible examples: The Beatles, Kill La Kill, flash games rep

5 characters simply just chosen because they were an idea created just for it, or an idea someone presented. They however can not be from pre-existing parodies, or if they are, they are tweaked by say adjusting their sources, or adding a partner. Can also be inspired by people's character ideas on other sites such as the Reddit list. Examples: Shadow, LarryBoy

In this case, I would personally consider the Backroom to be the SiIvaCord, since they're much more official then here and are as close to a fan-Backroom as possible due to how close they are with the SiIva Team themselves. Thus, 3 characters chosen by or popular suggestions on the SiIvaCord.

The winner of Chiaki Sakura's poll, thus replacing the MAGfest poll, optional, but the 2nd and 3rd highest ranking characters could also be considered.

A character specifically picked by the originator of the idea of a grand fan tournament here, which I believe was Elchistosito, or at least he claims so, I'd have to look over the board and the last board as well to see if it was him as for some reason I keep thinking it was either TonyExists or KirbyPKMNInkling. Either way, as a sort of prize for creating and originating the idea in the first place, they would get to select one specific character of their choosing, as long as the rest of everyone involved aggrees on their source list.

As well, two new categories.

5 characters that are basically de-jokized versions of characters from either the Beta Mix or the Bean Leak are also valid. Examples: Neil Cicirega, Drake, Johnny Test, Toa Metru (Since he is also a Wiki contributor here, PopCultureCorn/GreatBigMusicWorld would be probably be allowed to help out, and he would like to submit a character from his leak, that is also fine as long as everyone likes or agrees on their sources.)

And 5 characters picked from prexisting parodies by virtue of having good source lists, this is of course dependant on if the parody owner is ok with it. Examples: Johnny Atma, Commenter Trio, Spooky, Jevil

Also keep in mind how the characters in KFAD work, they are usually either a video game character, an actual musician, or a representation of a meme. Keep in mind of course this also allows for experimentation like HOBaRT or Jazz Cats, and since this is a fan tournament YouTubers are now allowed. That however doesn't mean too many should be inserted though, I would still count them as a Miscellanous character like the other two mentioned characters. To quote a character from Spooky's Mansion: "Balance is key to keeping your mind free and sane." Or in this case sane and content with sources.

Versions of all veterans should also be included although it goes without saying that Unregistered HyperCam 2, Etika and DJ Professor K are banned from participating.

I am divided on amounts though, I feel like 5 is enough for each category so that there's enough newcomers compared to veterans, which remember is 32 (Dancing Alien Team is back together, thus replacing the hole left by K), so I feel like 5 art characters + 5 rip/music characters + 5 random characters + 5 SiIvaCord characters + 5  Beta Mix/Bean contestants + 5 fan parody contestants + 3 poll winners + 1 executive pick is fine as that's only slightly more, being 34, and assuming that the 2nd and 3rd place poll winners will not be used like in the real KfAD, then that's 32, the exact same amount of newcomers as veterans, making an even split. However keep in mind characters from different categories can be merged (Wario being a ripper pick and Waluigi being a fan submission) and so can veterans and newcomers. (Nintendo Power) I would advise to keep veteran-newcomer combining to a minimum however, and only if it would make sense to buff both of them while still having a good "identity" and coherent source list. I feel like a good example is the Papyrus/Terry mix from the Reddit Roster (and it's totally not bias '>_>) since Terry still is an interesting newcomer and enhances Papyrus's sources massively with his tutorial sources, while still remaining true to the idea of the character and now overpowering him. i.e. A Bill-like character, but better.

Opinions? I've been making this idea about how to execute it for a while and this is what I settled on, if you think the amounts of characters for any category should be nerfed, increased or removed altogether, let me know please. Thank you. 😄
