>CR4B - Round 3 Submissions Are Now Open!You may know that we’ve had an extension, so in about 16 days or so by now that’ll be the final deadline for entries. But if you’re brave enough to submit your entry earlier, now’s the time to do so! Otherwise, keep working on your submissions! Good luck out there, crabs.

>>7730763I'm busting it M4 I'M DOING IT WAIT FOR MY ENTRY M4 YOU'LL UNDERSTAND
>>7730734Cool. I’m gonna give them more free art later on
>>7730763Now who would actually post this early when we have so much time until the voting period?By the time the voting starts most people would forget about your entry.
what's the biggest piece of feedback you would like to give to the tournament at this moment?
>>7731079To kill themselves
>>7731079The GM should realize that sometimes the obvious booking option is the best option and not do something different because it's "not as obvious".
>>7731150Which obvious options do you think were the best options?
>>7731190NTA but>Kell vs HemmaKell is mostly pacifistic but is still victimized and defined by how he was changed by other people for their use and entertainment. Facing someone who legitimately is out to harm him with a huge ax to grind unlike his last two opponents would've been interesting and also tied more personally into what Kell is with his cyborg nature. Hemma's own character arc meanwhile needed the capstone of finally confronting his traumatic trigger and source of his bigotry that is the root cause of his own severe mental illness. Both artists won both their rounds, would've put on a good show, and mutually even wanted to face each other to the point their hitlists featured each other as their primary choice.And on the flipside Ellie vs Nio could have been incredibly cool via exploring Ellie's subconscious that was briefly tapped into with R1 and her mind briefly piqued by comparing Lovell to her master, it could have been cool exploring more of her internal world and what Nio would do handling this magical final dungeon boss.
>>7731201>>7731190I think Hemma and Kell, as well as Leo needed different matchups
>>7731190For all the buildup with Atta and her poison arc pairing her against Needle feels weird and incongruent. Needle just wants to be deranged and ignores any outcome where his opponent tries anything else with him. Atta has many characters affected by her who have an axe to grind. Should've been Needle vs HI so they could be deranged together and pit Atta vs Ignatius.
>>7731226>Atta vs IgnatiusWhat can Atta even do? The power mismatch is insane.
>>7731229You ask as if Atta can do anything to Needle as-is. Also it'd be funny seeing Ignatiusanon try and handle his OP character in the face of one that is totally the underdog in every metric, with no excuse to hold back given how 'offended' he is over Atta's conduct. AttaAnon already has to divine some kind of winning line with Needle so nothing changes except it's fire instead of ice and the opponent has more of a reason to give a fuck about their fight.
>>7731229last crab there was Wietse (literal farm boy) vs Tredecima (wizard with world ending powers) and Wietse won. So its feasable
>>7731229>What can Atta even do?
>>7731229With decent writing any match can be done no matter the power difference. It's not easy but its not impossible.
>>7731216Who could Leo even face off? Some of the matches work but I don’t have a clue on who he would even work for him.
>>7731084later
>>7731240Dizzy. Caddi vs Dizzy is insultingly one-sided, pretty much anyone thrown against Caddi is guaranteed a win because all Caddi wants to do is draw bondage and turn in unfinished crap. Dizzy's way better an artist than being fed total fodder.
> Kell vs. EllieGod damn Kell’s entry really hit the mark. It really explored deep into Kell’s character and his comparison with Ellie, but here’s my highlight.>ELLIE PISSED ON THE FUCKING MOON!!! Kell fucked her boyfriend, so she pissed on the earth, except she went far and beyond! SHE PISSED ON THE FUCKING MOON!!! Even Ol Debbie couldn’t say more enough.
>>7731190>Zehya vs. AnaLet’s face it. We all wanted to see these two duke it out. Their past confrontations were building up to this strife. These two even had similar arcs, dealing with betrayal. Zehya had been double crossed for the past two rounds and Ana was dealing with abandoned issues, prior to C.R.A.B. Not to mention they both had it worse with Atta’s manipulation. Round 3 could have been a perfect time for these two to clash out and even talk to each other about their betrayal issues. Hopefully have them sympathize with and help each other.
>>7731240in no particular order:>Clovis>Berno>Zehya>Ignatius>Gretchen>Berry>Mendelle>Ana
>>7731254I cant see it, honestly. I guess it makes a bit of sense cause slut vs fuckboy but that’s the closest I can get. Other than that, there’s not much substance. I can’t see this match working out
>>7731273AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>7731240Diesel is fine, there are some thematic equivalents.
>>7731273Only Mendele is close there, looks like a self report
>>7731234Needle isn't so aggressive
>>7731273>ClovisHad his chance with an interesting clash of philosophies about danger and suffering, but Leo-anon never followed up on it and seemed to more want to avoid it. Plus skill-level gap too big.>BernoHad the potential with the fact both pined for Atta's affection and that could've evolved into a rivalry between the posh rich guy and the gruff metal biker, but like with Clovis, the rivalry never was delved into further as Leo-anon didn't want the smoke. Also, skill-level gap too big.>ZehyaA case of two nobles clashing. One who wants to be like the common man, the other who only lowers their head to gods. It would have been interesting to see those two clash and there were some interactions. Sadly, like with the ones above, seemed Leo-anon just didn't want the smoke. Skill-level gap is also quite big.>IgnatiusSeemingly the most fitting one, fire-users, fighter vs fighter, man vs god. I would also say that Ignatius had more and better interactions with other characters than Leo. Plus, again, skill-level gap.>GretchenLike Zehya, a battle of nobles. Only Gretchen is much friendlier and it would probably be a more friendly contest between the two. Unfortunately, this is also a case where the skill-level difference would also be way too big.>BerryThere was AN attempt made at a Leo x Berry relationship. Could've been interesting and played into something. Unfortunately, there is so little into it that it just wouldn't work. Plus, again, skill-level gap too big.>MendeleI... can't see how this match would work in any way.>AnaThis could have been interesting, with their fire powers. Could go somewhere, but it also is a fight that kinda feels more randomly put together rather than something really consistent.Yeah, Diesel Junky feels like a good and fair match-up for Leo.
>>7731235All thanks to the Indomitable Human Spirit (and Cockbending)
>>7731396>The first six wouldn't work because the skill gap was too big.Leobros... did he even deserve the headliner role?
>another thread of shitting on LeoPost entries or get new material.
I wanna note that I LOVED Kell's entry and Kell-anon has done a STELLAR job this tournament by delivering banger after banger! Certified starmaking performance this CRAB.If it is not this CRAB, I do hope Kell-anon wins a CRAB tournament one day, because they deserve it for the skill and effort they show.
>>7731437Nigga we have posts like this >>7731273 itt and people are calling it out
>>7731439True, was a very solid crab this tournament.
>>7731427NTA>Only because Ignatius was banned from being elected Plus we already went through this conversation, Leoanon isn't particularly bad he simply learned the hard way and reality of being in charge of a /crab/ team.
>Submissions are open and we're gonna kill another thread because of Leo slander.I wonder how everyone's entries are doing so far. Mine's going pretty well.
>>7731240Leo VS Melody could have been good
>>7731452Maybe? This could work but there’s not much depth between them. They both fight, have fire, are strong. Melody may have the upper hand in strength but it probably wouldn’t work with little story substance. Melody might wanna beat him up if he thinks he can flirt his way to beat her but that’s just my assumption. I don’t know. I just know an opportunity for more character interactions was missed
>>7731451Watching this gif is like having sex
>>7731190>Nio vs Zehyait would have been interesting to see Nio reacting to Zehya's dreams. However the current matchup is just as good
>>7731396>>7731427>>7731440This is all just people trying to dogpile on him for no reason. Leo anon is more then good enough for almost all of those suggestions, they are not as good as people make them out to be.
>>7731602Ahahahahahha thanks anon, made me laugh
>>7731610I get that he performed below expectations so far, but maybe if the DM bothered to give Leo anon suitable or good matchups he would actually be encouraged to work to his full potential, just a thought.
>>7731676NTA but let's be real, Leoanon had very suitable/good matchups with Kell and Head Investigator. Kell was a combination of Leoanon underperforming and Kellanon making a fantastic entry. Meanwhile both he and HIanon made great entries, only HIanon's entry was just better.Again, Leoanon has potential, but he just needs to refine himself, practice his writing skills and just adapt himself better.
I'm tired of Leo discourse, this shit's gay. Almost as gay as Fluxxo and Scary being pit against surprise noncrabs instead of actual contestants.
guis what if leo... did a thing, lol amirite?
>>7731676>but maybe if the DM bothered to give Leo anon suitable or good matchupsAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Shut the fuck up you whiny faggot.
wacussy
>>7731676Git gut loser
>>7731451Berry deserves that and more
>>7731683His matchup with Kell was fine since it was the start of the tourney and there's nothing to go of off but skill comparisons and a vague idea of what their characters are like, Leoanon went too ambitious and fucked himself overThe second round he got paired with the tournament darling and lost because of course he did, HIanon's entry wasn't great, it hardly ever is but people have a bias in his favor and pitting a new headliner who already shit the bed against him is like throwing him in prison knowing he's gonna get raped
>>7731861Not to be that anon (and I don't want to drag this any longer, he has gotten enough flack already) but there are some factors to consider:>R1 entryLeo-anon shouldn't have done an animatic at the start of the tournament where animation is at most limited and blew his chances at winning, should've saved that shit for R3>Regarding HI-anonHot take: I don't understand the notion that he exists as a filter for the tournament when it already filters itself by being the way it is; people tolerate and infantilize him too much, as a result he gets away with a lot of shit nobody else has the luxury to do so. His works aren't even the worst part, it's this stupid bias/favoritism (like you mentioned) where other crabs act like you're a little bitch for standing up for your OCs against his weird headcanons.>Character likeabilityThis is completely subjective, but overall Leo lacks heavily in the relatability department, from the rich brat bored with his lifestyle down to the shonen protagonist design and attitude. Compare him to the HI where's a lot more interesting because of the badass cyborg design mixed with a cool yet funny personality due to his bizarre mental state and a semblance of humanity which was shown in his R2 entry.Anyways I better not see any more whiny complaints about Leo-anon, I'm positive he has learned his lesson and we don't need to further demonize him over rookie mistakes; if anything Lovell and Needle are worse headliners.
>>7731897>NeedleShut it, it's clear you don't know shit about what you are talking about.Putting him next to Lovell is fucking retarded.
>>7731897can i rape you?
>>7731933lovelKEKS.... are we... the worst headliner?!
>>7731952*sexiest
>>7731952It's not even a question
>>7731933He's a bad headliner, anon, he's angry about even being among us undesirables yet does nothing as a headliner
>>7731982Stop making up shit
>>7731982You got nothing apart from your own perception and assumptions, stupid faggot
The only unfair match so far was Bakutsu vs Fish. Being inconsistent in output was not an excuse to pit Fish-anon against someone clearly on a lower power level.
>>7731952More like lazy pull your weight Neetlel
>>7732084killwill
>>7732044Nah that was fucking based. Bakutsu-anon also deserved to get smacked down like that for talking mad shit and shittalking Fishimote-anon and his OC.
>>7731396How could I win? Only if Leon has a half-finished entry, I'd would win, mainly because I am like a russian roulette in terms of entry, only shoot for the stars once in 6 times. picrel related
>>7732044Fishimote was clapping from behind all the powerfags until r3, If that's not based you are just wrong.
>>7732149ALL HAIL THE GODSLAYERALL FRAUDS BEWAREALL HAIL FISHIMOTE
>>7732149Severely disappointed there wasn't a Fishimote vs Scary Movies.
>>7732149Fishimote should have been paired against Fluxxo
>>7732247They're on the same team, it couldn't be done.
>>7732149Day of the Hook is coming for that damn fish!
>>7732250Well the only other real god character is Ignatus, and we know how that goes.
Let's do one more Round 3 teaser, before the thread get flooded with entries. Post at least one quote from your R3 entry. GO!

>>7731015>Now who would actually post this early when we have so much time until the voting period?Allow me to introduce myself, I am Atta-anon, godless yurifag and up and coming jobbing expert. Job parties, job events, anything your company might need.Atta VS Needle:https://imgur.com/a/FxIFDGG
>>7732476Atta...
>>7731982Youre not *entirely* off. I was pretty angry and I am a pretty bad headliner. Objectively.The source of my anger has nothing to do with the people in crab though, mostly pissed off at myself and to a much lesser degree the DM.I'm a bad headliner because I didn't know what the true responsibilities were to be a headliner, or why people wanted to be one when I threw my hat in the ring. I thought it would be about doing busywork, reading my teams comics and making sure they didn't have any critical flaws and giving them feedback. If that's all a headliner was, then I would be a pretty good one.I wasnt really understanding the format when I went in. I'm used to OCT's that aren't team based, they're a duel between two people and whoever makes the most entertaining comic wins. Thats my experience with these.Thats not quite what crab is, however. I was so angry with what happened to me in the first round, the perception that I stood no chance (i didnt) the perception that I lost any kind of growth or angle or momentum to my character because of my perception that my character was put into my opponents comic like an afterthought and that you could just ignore the round theme entirely and still win, that I could not realize that this is about the Team, as a headliner its really my job to make a Nullstars plot, or try to give the Nullstars an angle into the soul plot.In the second round I was pissed off that I was put up against Nobody and that I was going to lose against Nobody. I dont want to make a comic for nobody. I'll literally never know if Nio even bothered to read my comic.So going into round 3 I'm more or less just like, I realize the mistakes I've made but its too late to do anything to fix it. Even if I could beat Atta, I've done literally nothing to deserve writing the end of that character for the tournament, and Needle never got to be anything because of my inability to win and failure to understand what I needed to be focusing on.
>>7732565I still maintain that yours was the better R1 comic and you getting two silvers in a row is a shame.
>>7732598I agree on this
This thread brings me immense joy
>>7732565While I understand a lot of these gripes, I think you shouldn't concern yourself on whether you "deserve" to write the end of your opponent's character or not. If your entry wins you "deserved" it by default and that's it. And a man may live dragging himself but has to die standing on his feet, so with still 30% of your character's "screentime" left there IS still enough time to make them more interesting/endearing in the final round.
Which of the Crab Teams do you have high expectations of winning?> I place my bets on Xenomania, but Freakhouse Funshow and The Misfits has the potential of winning, too.
>>7732904I honestly give Misfits the biggest chance of winning this. Xenomania seems to be running out of steam, while I am unsure if Freakhouse would be able to win the majority of their matches.I'd say for Misfits, their biggest thing to worry for is if Mendy can lock in against Houndclops.
https://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/emperorbismark/art-fight-comic-3Ash VS Henry was posted as well
>>7732904>>7732913>Mendy-anon has a chance at winning crab a third time
>>7732922>there is a high fucking chance Mendy-anon of all contestants could break the record of most CRAB wins... again
>>7732943>>7732922HE CAN'T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT
>>7732913HOUNDCLOPS I GIVE MYSELF TO YOU, BUT DEFEAT MENDI
>>7732950>>7732962
>>7732904The decisive match is actually Nio VS Hemma. If Hemma wins, Xenomania takes it. If Nio wins, Freakhouse (yes, Freakhouse, not Misfits) wins the tournament.
>>7733018NTAHow?
>>7733028I will not elaborate.

Wasn't the deadline now? Where are the entries?
>>7734341E-E-Extensionnnnn
>>7734341Almost everyone took the extension-pill and then decided to just procrastin- I mean refine their entries with the extra time allotted.
Has Kell-anon considered becoming a headliner? They seem to be always early in the past rounds and has put a lot of skill in their entries. Just curious.
>>7734433I remember Kell anon didn't want to. Too much pressure or something.

How do tards like Dae or Baku find their way to this server? Don't you need a friends from the inside to recommend this place? Who in the server are actually friends with these 2.
>>7737426Baku anon found their way in crab cause of Newgrounds. Not sure about dea anon. I never bothered to ask or learn about they got it.
>>7737435check the d*scord link
>>7737296Dayum Ana looks like THAT???
>>7737426>Don't you need a friends from the inside to recommend this place?Not really, we've promoted the place in the 4chan and Newgrounds threads and people can join by clicking the /crab/ pit link.
>>7737426Unpopular opinionThere needs to be a skill requirement to enter. No more Adels or similar.
>>7737463Then 75% of the tournament would be gone
>>7737463>yeah make this place elitist and more competitive, that's what this tournament needsno
>>7737482Good>>7737485Make it more competitive
>>7737463maybe just get rid of novellas
>>7737490I mean, I don't disagree (except for the competitive part), it's just that Adel-anon isn't a good comparisonThere are worse examples
>>7737463>>7737490unpopular because it's a gay and retarded take, faggot
>>7737498Skill issue. Your only arguments are crying insults like a faggot because you are scared of being filtered.
>>7737491This. Get rid of novellas.
>>7737493>There are worse examplesTrue, but that's the bottom of the barrel in terms of skill at least.
>>7737507no retard, because crab wasn't meant to be the regular oct. If quality is the only thing you care about, leave or rope yourself
You know, it is quite funny how often the "higher-skilled" artists are the ones to demand a "higher skill requirement to enter", especially when they lose to "lesser-skilled artists" who just manage to write better than them.It's also funny it is often newfags who have this opinion. As if they don't like their egos being hurt over losing to an "inferior" artist.
>>7737463>>7737426>Baaaaaah crab isn't my super secret club DEDEDE is a le monatorYou twats aren't good enough to have that kind of gatekeeping.
>>7737519>leave or rope yourselfJust by reading that I know you will never make anything worth reading
>>7737570when did I ever mention that it would be? Just go pick up the rope, ties a noose and set yourself loose, faggot
>>7737507NTA, but you really aren't that much better.Crab doesn't really have the prestige in order to be competitive and lacksghe rigidity to really be filtering. Even though we have a lot of heavy hitters, the rules and conduct aren't professionally adhered well enough to warrant this as anything more than some fun practice ring for various artists. Then there's the issue that even if you did want to enforce some kind of skill level requirement, who's going to make that line, and where is it? After Adel gets kicked, do you purse the lightweights and just auto-reject people like Jun-ho anon, even though she's been here for years, or someone like Lovell-anon who's quality has been lacking even though we KNOW they can draw? If you don't kick Lovell out under that precedent, then how is that fair to let certain people post actual scribbles well below their capability, but turn away artists that are trying to get better? There's no clear way to define those cases, and nobody wants to turn this tournament into that kind of pompous snobfestPersonally, I think there should be something similar to an ELO system, except with medals. There are enough regulars where some people have developed a track record. If matchup quality really becomes an issue, then something like that would give a more objective figure behind some of the pairings.>>7737570>Getting offended at being told to off yourselfWhy are you on 4chan, faggot?
>>7737528I think art has ridiculous diminishing returns in this format so getting too caught up on the art is a detriment to the point of a comic, which is telling a story with a limited amount of time. The writing power of the match up should be a pretty important factor in deciding who fights who as clearly its the most important attribute you can have for your comic as long as the art is roughly equal.If i had to take a devils advocate approach to what youre referring to its less about the artist being less skilled or ego and it being more about not receiving something of equal quality back as a reward for your work than losing the match. Like if i were ever against a little babby artist or allah forbid a dedicated writer, I would take it easy visually or make a novella myself because I'm not going to get anything but a chuck e cheese token and refrigerator scribble for winning or losing regardless.Art skill has to be roughly equal for me to feel motivated to spend my time on a two week comic commission for them, writing only matters if you care about actually winning.
>>7737675What I want is to not let in people that don't even draw. You can have low level of skill but theres a point where its just retarded. And I don't get why Lovell gets hyped up so much when its clear they shouldn't have participated in the first place.>Getting offendedNo. Just watching a grown ass man react to something they don't like.>Leave or kys!!Just pathetic.
>>7737491Totally agree, novellas are great for side stories, but they dont cut it for entries themselves. But then it would be a limiter on how random the entry can be.We've had mixtapes before too.>>7737684>>7737675True>>7737832I think you are too harsh with your ideas of just not letting in people directly.The ELO system could be implemented and we are here to improve at the end of the day.Though it's also true that there are some people in here that would complain about not getting the matchups they wanted or something related to it. (Like always)BUT thinking about it more, there's no need to change the current system. It just works.
>>7737832>And I don't get why Lovell gets hyped up so much when its clear they shouldn't have participated in the first place.Lovell's artist is a repeat from prior tournaments, and had a good quality output (pic related). The reason I and probably a lot of other people are disappointed in them is that this year is a noticeable downgrade from their prior entries, but nobody could have known that going into this year. Such a call to step back would have been Lovell-anon's to make, rather than the tournament's "staff" just imposing some kind of minimum effort threshold (which in itself would be a retarded idea. How would they know what's happening in each contestant's lives to the point where they COULD fairly judge their output as a lack of effort verses, say, a temporary split priority from IRL shit?).This whole judgment of "quality" is THE POINT of voting, which in itself proves how retarded and inconsistent the idea of gatekeeping is because of the inconsistent reasons people have been giving for votes!>Just pathetic.You're the one bitching because, actually, I don't know why. Why does Adel being here annoy you? They're not doing anything wrong. They're not being an asshat to anyone or starting drama. They're not stealing a character or having someone else make their entry. They're just a low-skill artist, which isn't so egregiously ban-worthy. If they were your opponent, I would just shut up and take the W if you're so confident, and if they're not then just shut up and don't vote for them.
Stop trying to kill this thread with your petty complaints about certain participants, why is Adel-anon even catching strays? It's not like he/she has done anything wrong.HOWEVER I'm very opposed to novellas and would advocate for their removal if possible - But you can only dream so much, and kicking Adel as a result for such would set a bad precedent.I'd concede that Lovell has been pretty lackluster though, but also you got to admit that cr4b has been the second most tedious tournament next to crab 3; still not an excuse to disrespect your opponentes like Lovell did.
might as well break the tension by posting something unrelated
>>7737890>been pretty lacklusterHeh
>>7737890Adel can draw like the rest.
>>7737890Adel is the odd one out. They are novella-man, and people seem to think novellas are low effort. It's not that they're annoying or abrasive or a bad person.I do wonder why you guys debate stuff here instead of in the server though, I know for a FACT that random anons do not give a shit about this, so just speak up in the server if you feel strongly, wanting to get rid of novellas isn't even a hot take.As for me I think its pretty funny that the specialist writer isnt even good at writing, that really caught me off guard when i read their r1.
>>7737463that's an unpopular opinion all right
Actually wait a minute what the fuck does it matter how skilled people are, you're not going to be pitted against a lower/higher skilled artist anyways.
this argueing is gay, where is lesben art?
>>7738062Factous
Here's another unpopular opinion for you guys.C.R.A.B should happen every three years instead of annually. There are potentially artists here who would want to skip next year to focus on bigger things, especially the organizers. This might risk a number of crabs and quality, declining. Not to mention the few months the tournament can lasted. This feels more like the olympics, than just a tournament.The extended years can also give the organizers time to plan more for next C.R.A.B to ensure everything is up to code and A.Q.A.P (As Quality As Possible). Even plan some new things to add and experiment for the coming C.R.A.Bs.
>>7738098>There are potentially artists here who would want to skip next year to focus on bigger thingsthey can, FOMO is a pussy bitch brain disease and should not be taken into consideration
>>7738098>C.R.A.B should happen every three years instead of annually.I honestly say 2 years rather than 3.It is clear people do love CRAB and enjoy it and are excited for it each year, but there is a problem that a lot of CRABs have a lot of other artistic projects to work on.
>>77380983 years is too long, 1-2 is the most preferable. Hell there can be a rotation thing where one year Crab will take in the summer (June-September), and another where it takes place in the winter/autumn. (October-January)I think the problem is the off-seasons where there's a secret incentive to keep on crabbing even after the tournament is over.
>crab every 1-2 yearsThat’s retarded. And anyone who agrees with it is also a retard and doing it to stir commotion with others
>>7738116You say it here cause you a coward ahahahahaha And will also be ignored AHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA
I like turtles.
>>7738117Buddy, this opinion was thrown into the thread in the first place.
>>7738098>here are potentially artists here who would want to skip next year to focus on bigger things, especially the organizer>especially the organizerThis is evidence that this post was made by the Gamemaster and self-admitted he is burned out and tired. This proves he is unfit to be GM and needs to retire. But we know his ego won't let him do that.
>>7738170But who to replace him? No one seems too interested.
>>7738211>No one seems too interested.I hear Fluxxo-anon salivating.
>>7738211I can hear Z-anon getting stoked as well
>>7738211We'll just have another election, simple as. The ones who want to, will stand up.>>7738258>Z-anonPlease no. We now know what crackpot idea he has for this tourney.
>>7738170Speaking out of your ass again?
>>7738260which Z? the latina onahole or the clown guy?
>>7738275No jackass, he made it even clear out in the fucking server and is also the biggest person championing for a bi-annual tournament. If DOOMVA can't cut it, he should retire. But no, he clearly likes playing boss and wants to keep doing it. Once again changing stuff in the tournament to make things better for just himself.

Sisters.I'm posting this to bump, every day I pray I will see more entries.
>>7739356sex
>>7739423not worth it
>>7739356On a scale of 1 to 10, how likely would Asha wanna kill her sister, if she learned what she'd been doing, at C.R.A.B 4?
>>77396060. Zero. Nada.Arguably if I had taken Asha seriously during CRAB 1 she would have been far more destructive than her big sister (if she truly wanted to win). She loves and admires her sister and generally believes she is always right (though there is a huge deal of miscommunication between what Atta wanted for Asha and what Asha carved in her own soul from her teachings).
>>7739630Though I am maybe exaggerating, but my point is that despite her actions, Atta wants the best for everyone.Asha does not care.

If people wanna ban novellas, then I’ll just improve my art for next year and work on making comics. Simple as. No need to make a fuss about it or anything!
>>7740625It’s probably dea-anon since he makes it obvious that he doesn’t like you.
>>7740625You have the right spirit. I am pro banning novels but don't want to see you go - I want to see you get better at art through Crab.

>>7744755>A KISS??
So with this years CRAB coming to a close, which of the CRABs do you think has main protagonist energy?> My choice is Clovis, given the numerous lore and narrative Clovis-anon gave to the tournament and the interactions Clovis made with the others. Berry fits the bill too, but I see her as a secondary protagonist.
>>7745413>YEAH!!!
>>7745442Hemma. Big underdog that proves himself and others on his worth.
>>7745442Will better be decided once we know who wins. But candidates could be Clovis, Berry, Melody, Zehya, Hemma, Berno.
>>7745458Agreed. And I have the same choices too. I'm also adding TW too since he's really interesting
>>7745446>A kiss... >I remember when I kissed my opponent in the bucket. >A sweet sweet kiss...>I ALWAYS HATED IT!!!
>>7745442Clovis or Atta.>Character arc successfully carried out>Tons of side content>Several entries that have nothing to do with them pivot to revolve around something they did.The only thing stopping me from definitively saying that Clovis was it was because he served as an antagonist in too many entries. Atta did too, but she's not a direct foil to any of the protagonists of said entries, she's a flawed protagonist of a tragedy.
