This, my friend, is the end. Over three months, you have made your choices, you have spoke your voices, and you have made some noises, but it'; all come down to this. Tonight, we unveil the ultimate "winner" of the tournament.
But first, let's take a trip back down memory lane:
Glover kept it close for so long, but in the end, Bam just pulled away in the end to take the title of Worst. Character. Ever.
... For now.
Thanks to your support, Worst. Character. Ever. will return in the future. When... I don't know, but it will be an incredible experience, a tournament the likes you've never seen before. 64 characters will duke it out, including all three of tonight's finalists. And it will be epic. Worst. Character. Ever. II - Expect Teh Unexpected.
Again, thank you to everyone who's voted and followed along. I truly appreciate it, because without your support, this would've died in November. :)
Meh. I don't think real people should have been included. And if they were going to be, you still failed for not having Michael Jackson. I'm telling you a Glover + Jackson combo could have taken it.
Also, I have beaten both the Genesis and arcade Moonwalker. AOOWWW!
@ Everyone: Don't worry, things will be changed next time around. There will be more a focus on characters. I've grown a large list of suggestions, and there will be less humans.
I stubbornly continute to offer my support for Glover. In that he should not even have been on the list! To me, he is an work of artistic inspiration...
Anyway, great idea NihonTiger90! Looking forward to the next championship!

about me
Oh, hi there. Didn’t see you enter. Anyways, welcome to my humble little blog. For those of you not familiar with who I am, the name’s Brian. I’m 23 years old and hail from Lorain, Ohio, just outside of Cleveland. I work at the local newspaper here as a copy editor, putting my four long years of college to actual use. Kind of. I think.
For those of you who might recognize me from elsewhere, I work as Assistant Gaming Editor over at Blogcritics Gaming and as Features Editor over at Tomopop. It's a lot of work, but it's worth it because I get to do a lot of cool shit with a lot of cool people.
I've been gaming since the relatively young age of around 3 and I've played plenty of games, both good and bad. I'm continuously expanding my gaming collection, which has become more of an archive in recent years as I'm focusing on collecting older, less well-known titles. You'd honestly be surprised on what people are missing out on in bargain bins...
Other than gaming, I love anime, manga, sports, movies, TV, and a whole lot more. I also happen to have something of a legendary love for Cammy, to the point that I am the site's unofficial official Cammy fanboy. And yes, I do play as her in Street Fighter and do so quite well, too.
Also, I am Chad Concelmo's B.F.F., my prize for coming in first in The Great Retro Quiz .18 - ActRaiser. Accept no substitutes. Not even Aerox.

I have not looked at one of these blogs, until now.
I will miss all of this season's contestants. We had some really shitty, shameful times together. Especially you Bam. I hope you die in a fire.
so bam is the winner? good for him.
poor shaq went down way too early
Thanks for hosting this NihonTiger, it was good times all around
Fuck Bam Margera.
Of course, in the case of this contest, that’s a good thing!
Wow. After looking at my comments throughout this tourny, I can safely say I'm an idiot.
Meh. I don't think real people should have been included. And if they were going to be, you still failed for not having Michael Jackson. I'm telling you a Glover + Jackson combo could have taken it.

I was really rooting for Big too.
FRAWGEEE!?
bam is the ultimate in failure?
Finally! Bam can be proud of something in his life.
Very nice ending.
Fuck Bam Margera.
Well that's a horrible way to end the tourney.
I was expecting an actual game character to win, not a digitized moron.
How did Navi not get past round 1? I demand a recounts!
