Welcome to the continuation of the Mr. /mlp/ollo competition, where your favorite guys from across all aspects of the franchise be it canon, fandom, or memery are judged and selected for who is most deserving of being crowned the king of the board.
NOTE: Due to the slower nature of Mr. /mlp/ compared to Miss /mlp/, multiple rounds will likely pass over a single thread. Every link to a closed form after it's completed should have a link provided in its message to respondents that'll lead you to the current round, but also be vigilant and search the thread below for any new forms.gle links posted leading to the latest voting forms for each Round

We've now entered the Round of 16! From over a hundred initial contestants we're down to a mere handful of our finest and bravest gentlemen left in the competition, but only one can claim the title of Mr. /mlp/ollo. Enter below to vote on who you think the eight most worthy of the Quarterfinals, as well as our six ongoing Mini-Brackets and the Royal Round Robin for this year.

Chad Spike shoudn't win anything other than meme. If OG Spike didn't win already it would have been fair game, but at this point its like appoingint same character in a different meme headcanon. People already got mad over using different versions of Twilight or Applejack to beat up OG Fluttershy or OF Rarity from advancing. That's why I'm calling for disqualification of Chad Spike from main game

While I doubt he'll take the crown in the end, Scorpan is on a roll this year, and I'm well entertained watching him reach the top 8, hopefully.
It's also a good mix of actual show characters and board-relevant competitors this year. Without memes, a poll is too sterile. But if it were memes only, it'd appear a bit too "fan of the fandumb".

>Discord VS Brandon the Brony Pony
Brandon is quite the powerful specimen, but last time I checked, he looked up to Discord. Deep down, the Noodle is the father figure his downtrodden yet shameless soul craves. Truly, it was during an Anon room party at a con last year when I was snoozing on a sofa while Brandonkino was shown, and a sudden sense of dread and bewilderment pulled me out of my slumber:
Who the fuck is THAT (voice) supposed to be??

Indeed, I stood eye to (i) with the beast known as unrigged SFM Discord 3D model. He told Brandon to find himself a cute mare and have children. The way SFM Discord did the T-posing helicopter and clipped across the screen really sold the fatherly tenderness of this rare gem of Discordian wisdom. As a Discord cosplayer, I reminded my fellow Anons of this noble quest the next morning, not holding back on the raw gusto of glitchy T-posing.

Worried, I prayed that Anon will find his mare before Brandon claims her, but a DeLancian voice whispered back: "Fear not!". For whatever terrible power Brandon may wield in his realm, said realm is his golden prison and containment. And how right he was, for I had just been found by my own waifu, the smug one adorned with soft feathers and an electric aura. We took a hot shower, and everypony walked the dinosaur, shit was SO cash.

>If OG Spike didn't win already it would have been fair game
Hypothetical question: if somehow Chad Spike had won FIRST, would you have any issues with regular Spike winning later?
>>
>>42831705
NTA but yes, any iteration of a character winning should count as that character as a whole taking a win and prevent other ones from participating later, even if it includes the OG version. Then blame it on faggots not showing enough support for the original when needed, instead deciding to have a quick stroke of their memeshittery itch.

IRON WILL respects his opponent for being a self-made military stallion and becoming captain of the guard.... but IRON WILL did not achieve his true fame by marrying into royalty! IRON WILL remains a minotaur of the people, of the common man, and does NOT live in a crystal palace with an alicorn wife and alicorn baby, with an alicorn sister and alicorn in-laws to give him his every heart's desire. IRON WILL remains self-made even into his family life, and represents /mlp/ as the hard working men of initiative you are.

Vote IRON WILL over that pussy-whipped Shining Armor!

The Quarterfinals will now commence! We are down to our final eight in all of Mr. /mlp/, having made it so far where so many other worthy contenders sadly could not. But even among these outstanding handful of gentlemen, there is only room for four in the Semifinals. Who among these candidates would you see earn the chance for the winner's circle? It's down to:
>Daniel Ingram vs Jackie Chan Tulpa
>Kevin vs Soarin'
>Shining Armor vs Discord
>Adolf Hitler vs Fancy Pants
Vote below to see your favorite to the Top 4 of Mr. /mlp/, but as always be warned: those that make it to the Top 4 will have to sit out next year regardless of if they win or lose, so if they make it to the next round make sure to give them your all.

Jackie Chan is a funny meme but not much more than that. As boring/predictable as it'd be Daniel Ingram is by far one of the most deserving winners left in this shit-show

Easily the toughest choice in this whole round bar none, both Discord/Shining Armor deserve to move on but between the two I prefer Discord, his episodes might be hit or miss but he's just more interesting and at his peak is one of the best characters in the show
>Fancy Pants
I like Fancy Pants for as limited screen-time he gets and we cannot allow Adolf HItler to get the nuclear codes. Save him for when Aryanne finallly wins Miss /mlp/

Fancy Pants was a based gentleman in Sweet and Elite. It pisses me off that he was characterized as a rich prick the later seasons.

Each match-up has at least one potential Mr /mlp/ollo who'd pair nicely with Pinkie Pie, all thanks to TOTAL CHAOS, I mean, RANDOMIZATION:

>Ingram vs Jackie Chan Tulpa
With Jackie Chan, we've found the only tulpa capable of defeating that hellish Pinkie tulpa. Although he's a timeless meme, this pageant might be his single best shot at the title. A fun pick! Alas, he's up against the song writer behind many of Ponka's tunes, the musical genius "who never misses". Either contestant would look hilariously bad as trophy, but worthy they are both.

>Shining Armor vs Discord
The Lord of Chaos just so happens to consider Laughter his favorite EoH, and laughter will follow in this fun guy's wake. His own laughter, at least. I'm totally not biased by stressing his original appearance in S2 here, and reminding everyone of pink cotton candy clouds and The Return of Harmony being more of a S1 epilogue than a S2 episode. (It's the last episode to use the S1 animation style and intro, too.) It's also peculiar that Discord's leitmotif was actually Pinkamena's during her Party of One.
Shining Armor is a fine soldier and family man. He feels like a surfdude, for better or worse, and would probably be down for some O&O once a month. Not all too much in common with Pinkie, but he's definitely popular by his own nepobaby merits. I'm being courteous and stop here.

>Kevin vs Soarin
Myyyy piiiiiiie! When Rainbow "Danger" Dash isn't around to save Soarin's apple pies, the Pink One will bake him the best damn pies he's ever had, with AJ's assistance in case of original Apple Family apple pies. Then again, Kevin is a chill drone who's just happy to be there, and Pinkie's parties cultivate more of that very love and merriment he seeks. Both characters are sweet little cinnamon rolls in FiM, but that won't stop the clop. Solid characters, solid picks.

>Hitler vs Fancy Pants
Oh my, the cultish Führer of the Nazi party versus the cultivated host of fancy dinner parties! Hitler is definitely memetic, but he lacks that special, specific connection to MLP and/or /mlp/ (or Pinkie Pie) I'd like to see in a winner. I'm generally a fan of keeping /pol/ out of hobby spaces, too.
Fancy Pants, on the other hand, has been part of FiM from early on, and always a pleasure outside of an OOC portrayal. Fancy Pants could be especially sublime by Rarity's side in a future pageant, but I genuinely appreciate that stallion whose heart isn't corrupted by wealth. Where are his pants? Well, their absence has become the fabric for myriad of legends and yarns.
Adolf, you dreamt big but you were doomed to fail. Now look what has become of our country...

I think people slowly realize that S9 isn't a good example to judge characters when everyone was out of character in Haberverse. So people mostly now remember him as the edgy cool dude who is hanging out with a much younger girl. It is the main appeal of Nick and Judy and why people who ship them also shipped Fluttercord

>>
>>42834455
It's different, usually Discord isn't an outright asshole but more so just having zero frame of reference for how social interactions work because he's an embodiment of chaos and is only recently learning how you act around people. "Keep New Friends but Keep Discord" he's scared of losing Fluttershy as a friend and is just reacting poorly, Dungeons and Discords he's has a problem with perceptions in thinking Spike/Big Mac want to hang out with HIM and not the other way around, and both usually at least have Discord realizing the errors of his ways by the end.

What About Discord there is just really no reason for him to act like this other than just being outright mean to Twilight just cause. You can argue he also acts the same way in Three's a Crowd but at least then you can argue he was only just '''reformed''' and hadn't committed yet like he would after the S4 finale.

I feel like they were initially going to introduce Scorpan and Tirek together and have Scorpan turn to the good side like in the old special, but Discord ended up being popular enough that they gave him the redemption arc when Tirek appears and Scorpan would have felt redundant. It's too bad they couldn't fit him into the story anywhere, and that Grogar ended up being nothing.

It's Discord subtly gaslighting Twilight for... well, not 22 minutes because he gets his just desserts at the end, but the majority of it. It's one of the more underappreciated episodes of the show since Discord is at some of his most impressively manipulative there as he manages to cause discord without technically doing anything illegal.

>>42834771
I don't know, I always thought it was interesting and kinda psychological. I never really got the hate for it. I like how it puts the viewer in Twilight's shoes too, since neither her nor the viewer saw the weekend Discord spent with her friends and are left guessing whether Twilight might be right and if Discord really did put everyone under a spell until the last minutes. That's clever, I think.

>>
>>42835506
Unfortunate timing with Thanksgiving plans necessitated an hour being put on yesterday, but in general the time between a round ending and the next round starting have been greater this year due to Total Randomization.

Usually in a tournament I can get started on the next form ahead of time, as many match-ups are pretty much decided early on and I can get an head start on the next form filling in the names and images ahead of time so when the round ends, there aren't as many to updates or changes before starting the next round. With Total Randomization however, we cannot know the match-ups at all until after the round has already ended and we shuffle things up. In this case I can only start on the next form after the previous round has ended (for both the main bracket and the Mini-Brackets) which leads to a much longer delay to the next round doing all of it at once. Alternatively I could set the timer to be less than 24 hours later so it ends earlier, but I prefer to have a full 24 hours for anons to vote.

However, being we're down to our last few dozen matches there should not be much more delays to the timer for the remaining two rounds.
Only one hour remains until the Quarterfinals come to a close!

I have mixed feelings about the episode because I really would have loved to watch my dear Discord bond with the M6 ON-screen, but instead it focuses heavily on the outsider's perception of silly inside jokes. The cringiness doesn't bother me per se because I enjoy cringe like a fine wine, but it overshadows the finesse with which he expertly manipulates his friends and tormented Twilight for a few days. Discord scientifically BTFO'ing Twilight on basis of the observer effect is *chef's kiss*, and it's a pity he was dumbed down as the show went on. Underneath an awkward episode with wonky facial expressions, there is an intriguing and mature Discord who pushes all the right buttons for a psychologist and Discordfag like me. He's an asshole but I love him.

I can agree with that. If you're interested, there was a fanfiction written where Discord and Twilight reflect on the events of the episode, which adds some interesting aspects to Discord's motivations, particularly him feeling that Twilight might be preventing him from forming closer bonds with her friends. It's pretty well-written and introspective.

Later than anticipated but the bracket is now updated for the Semifinals, and here is how the spread of our five removed votes due to failing verification would have adjusted the outcomes.

1. Daniel Ingram vs. Jackie Chan Tulpa ( 60.6 - 39.4 )
3 vs 2 removed, would have widened gap
2. Kevin vs. Soarin' ( 51 - 49 )
2 vs 3 removed, narrows gap to 1 vote apart but not enough
3. Discord vs. Shining Armor ( 58.7 - 41.3 )
3 vs 2 removed, would have widened gap
4. Fancy Pants vs. Adolf Hitler ( 58.7 - 41.3 )
5 vs 0 removed, would have widened gap

>Most Cuddleable
Prince Artemis vs. Rumble ( 51 - 49 )
2 vs 3 removed, narrows gap to 1 vote apart but not enough
(You) vs. Soarin' ( 54.1 - 45.9 )
1 vs 4 removed, narrows gap but not enough
>Best Villain
Lord Tirek vs. Angel Bunny ( 53.4 - 46.6 )
2 vs 3 removed, narrows gap but not enough
>Most Powerful
Brandon the Brony Pony vs. Lord Tirek ( 68 - 32 )
2 vs 3 removed, narrows gap but not enough

>The biggest win of the main round goes to Daniel Ingram, a solid 60.6% win over Jackie Chan Tulpa at 63 to 41
>An even bigger win was had in the Best Father Mini-Bracket, once again by Igneous Rock Pie dominating with a 72.3% margin over Gentle Breeze, 73 to 28
>The narrowest win of the round goes to Kevin, who came out ahead by only 2 votes and a 51% win over Soarin'
>An equally close call was made in the Most Cuddleable bracket, with Prince Artemis only beating Rumble by 2 votes as well
>The lowest seed remaining in Mr. /mlp/ is now Kevin at Seed 35. This does not break the previous record holder for lowest Seed to enter the Semifinals however, still held by King Haggard with Seed 47
>Discord is our second lowest Seed remaining at 22, Fancy Pants second highest at 15, and Daniel Ingram our #1 Seed is the highest.

>What About Twilight
All this time in the fandom, I've been mostly avoiding fanfiction. But I do make exceptions, and I thank you for the link, for it was a satisfying read at 15k words. Really feels like "my" Discord. Him being a bit frustrating to deal with is essential to the character, and it's probably why my love for him is so enduring, too. He's slippery, conflicted, a walking contradiction. Paradoxical in how he combines playfulness and pride, unique wisdom and obliviousness. He's simultaneously intelligent and dumb, and naturally entertaining in either mode. I love him because I love him, not because I want to be coddled and loved. Therefore, any frustration this love has brought me is less of a turn-off and more of a confirmation that I am dealing with the vivacious Spirit of Chaos and Disharmony in the flesh, Discord.

The Mr /mlp/ollo pageant always has me torn, for as much as I want Discord's amazing qualities to be acknowledged and cast in solid gold, there's joy and excitement in the chase. Every time he concedes, he gets to haunt another tournament, gatekeeping those undeserving, and allowing me to shitpost in discordian spirit - with that little bit of self-sabotage and appreciation for all contestants strewn into my arguments for Discord. Whether that makes it less manipulative, or more, I have not been able to discern, but at least it is >fun. And I will keep voting for Discord, just to see what hilarity might ensue, and accepting all consequences.

And at last the Semifinals have come to their conclusion! A total of 111 votes were cast this round, not including 8 which were needing to be removed due to failing verification, and at last we have our finalists for Mr. /mlp/ 2025.

First, however, we acknowledge the winners of 8th through 5th places in 2025. This year your penultimate four placements are...

It was a very tight race for 5th place, but at an accumulated 298 points our royal prince and captain of the guard SHINING ARMOR will take 5th this year! Very close behind him at 290 is the high-flyin', pie-loving Soarin' over the Wonderbolts in 6th, and in 7th with 285 points is your last defense against tulpas gone AWOL, the Jackie Chan Tulpa. Bringing up the rear with 223 is Adolf Hitler as this year's 8th, a still fine and respectable placement in this contest for the Fuhrer.

Now, our winner of the first match and your first finalist this year. Either candidate would be entering the Finals for the first time on this vote, and this was the larger over the two wins at 64%. Your first finalist for 2025 shall be...

The time has finally come. We are down to but only two, and just one will walk away from this contest with their head held high as Mr. /mlp/ 2025!
>From the top bracket, he's one of the earliest and most renowned villains in Friendship is Magic. An all-powerful chimerical being of entropy, antithesis to the harmony that defines Equestria, who for millennia proved a most cunning, manipulative, and devious foe for Princesses and Element-bearers alike. Yet despite his cataclysmic mischief, this reality-warping draconequus still lacked for something he would slowly come to realize he truly desired most of all. Voiced by the impeccable talents of John de Lancie, it's the Lord of Chaos and Spirit of Disharmony, DISCORD!
>From the bottom bracket, once again making his return to the Finals, the lyrical genius behind the unforgettable melodies that is the Friendship is Magic's long list of outstanding musical numbers. For over a full decade across hundreds of episodes, spinoffs, movies, specials, and shorts, he's captivated the many hearts of the fandom for his vast collection of insanely catchy, inspirational, and moving songs. He's the main composer, songwriter, and lyricist of the show, acknowledged and awarded several times over for his legendary repertoire, it's none other than DANIEL LUKE INGRAM!
Who deserves to be this year's victor and prince of the board? Decide below! And do not forget to vote on who you think deserves the Bronze Medal as well for Kevin and Fancy Pants have one last chance to claim the 3rd place spot. And at last, the winners of this year's six Mini-Brackets shall be decided along with the final set of votes for this year's Royal Round Robin. Cast your vote now to see your fellow of choice to the winner's circle.

The bracket has been updated and ready for the Finals between Discord and Daniel Ingram, and here is how the previous round would have been adjusted if the 8 votes that were discarded were left in:

1. Discord vs. Kevin ( 64 - 36 )

3 vs 4 removed, narrows gap but not enough
Pipsqueak vs. Featherweight ( 61.5 - 38.5 )
5 vs 2 removed, would have widened gap

>The biggest win of the round, including the Mini-Brackets, goes to Discord with his 64% win over Kevin, 71 to 40
>The biggest win in the Mini-Brackets was Pipsqueak's win in Best Colt, coming out 61.5% over Featherweight 64 to 40
>The narrower win goes to Daniel Ingram's 56.8% win over Fancy Pants, 63 to 48
>The narrowest win in the round overall is a tie for (You) in Most Cuddleable and Brandon the Brony Pony in Most Powerful, both coming out ahead of Prince Artemis and Discord respectively at only 51.9% and 4 votes ahead.
>In both our Semifinal matches the higher Seed bested the lower Seed, Seed 1 Daniel Ingram and Seed 22 Discord coming out over Seed 15 Fancy Pants and Seed 35 Kevin.
>This marks Discord first entry into the Finals of Mr. /mlp/, his previous best being 8th in 2024. Discord is only the second character from the actual show to make it this far in Mr. /mlp/, the only previous one being Spike who also faced off against Daniel Ingram in the Finals of Mr. /mlp/ 2023
>This marks Daniel Ingram's third time entering the Finals, the most of any contestant in either Miss /mlp/ or Mr. /mlp/ to make it this far. This also marks only the fifth time a Seed 1 has made it as far as the Finals, and two of those other times was also Daniel Ingram who was Seed 1 both his previous runs. The other two instances are M.A. Larson in 2020 and Derpy in 2021.
>At Seed 22, Discord is the lowest Seed of Daniel Ingram's Final opponents; 15 was (coincidentally) Seed 15 and Spike was Seed 11

I doubt they could have gotten away with their relationship if they were both humanoids since Discord appears so much older, even if it's not explicitly a romance.

>>42840330
It was the main reason why they never made him a character in Equestria Girls and just settled with a plushie cameo. There would be no way to turn him into a teen as De Lancie doesn't have that range and making him a teased love interest of Fluttershy while he's an older man would make soccer moms nuke the show like they tried with Derpy

>>42840339
which is ironic as now entire internet want Judy and Nick together even if there's a 10 year old age gap between them

Well that's a little different since Judy is an adult in her 20s whereas the human versions of the ponies are in high school, even if they're supposed to be older as ponies.
>>
>>42840339
Or they could not be retarded and put Discord into EqG without having him interact with Fluttershy, it's not like she's the only character in existence he can talk to.

>>42840388
Equestria Girls was released AFTER keep calm and flutter on which started entire Discoshy mania. There would be no way to ignore it.

It is also now we will acknowledge this year's Bracket Bucker Award, the award given for the contestant who beat the odds of a higher Seed the most over their run. This year it is none other than Seed 66, SOARIN'! In every one of his matches, Soarin' faced a higher placed Seed between Seed 36 Mr. Cake, Seed 25 PageantAnon, Seed 24 Flim, and Seed 14 Chad Spike. For his accomplishments in beating the odds, we acknowledge Soarin'!

Next, the winner of this year's Royal Round Robin. After fifteen match-ups, here are this year's results for who stands at the peak of our past princes...

>Best Meme
It was a tough call, but it seems the looming threat of schizophrenia officially weighs less than the collective sins of the fandom. THE BURDENED carries that weight to victory as he takes the win for Best Meme over Jackie Chan Tulpa at a mere 50.9%, the closest of the Mini-Brackets results.
>Most Cuddleable
I'm sure (You) think (You) are all warm and snugly, anons, but when it came down to it there's one buttery stallion everyone would rather cuddle up to. Fluttershy's genderbent alter-ego BUTTERSCOTCH takes the reward for Most Cuddleable this year at 62.5% of the vote.
>Best Villain
Alas, Eggman will be remembered on /mlp/ but not as Best Villain, as the bad doctor's plans are thwarted by... (YOU)! Yes, I hope you're happy with yourselves, look in the mirror you rogues and see this year's Best Villains as (You) take the Best Villain mini-bracket over Dr. Eggman at 54.4%
>Best Father
Shining Armor proves he can handle a lot when it comes to dealing with his powerful alicorn daughter, but this old-fashioned rock farmer's shown he can handle raising FOUR lovely Pie Sisters. The proud papa of this year's Miss /mlp/ IGNEOUS ROCK PIE takes the reward for Best Father at 54%
>Most Powerful
He don't want no trabble, but Jackie Chan Tulpa had some in the finals of both his Mini-Brackets, as even fully equipped with a ladder and baby he couldn't deal with the man, the myth, the autistic legend... all kneel as BRANDON THE BRONY PONY overpowers the competition and is 2025's MOST POWERFUL with 56.1%!
>Best Colt
Both our young lads are favorites of mares voiced by Tabitha St. Germain, but the cute innocent teeny tiny spotted colt from Trottingham has won the hearts of voters over the aspiring fashionista. PIPSQUEAK is this year's Best Colt with 59.8% of the vote!

Now, we have the winner of our Bronze Medal match. In the Bronze Medal match, the outcome was the wider of our two main matches this round decided at 55.7%. The winner of Mr. /mlp/ 2025's bronze match is...

It's official: this laid back little bug has been given the Fancy Pants seal of approval and is henceforth welcome in high society! Yes, KEVIN wins this year's 3rd place match, earning him his highest spot in Mr. /mlp/ to date over his previous 4th Place record in 2023! And a loud round of applause for his opponent as well, as 4th place is certainly no mean feat and is Fancy Pant's best performance to date as well.

And now, we come to our conclusion. The results of the Finals between Discord and Daniel Ingram. This was the closest of the two main matches this round, decided by a mere 5 votes and only 52.2% total margin. Your Mr. /mlp/ 2025 is none other than...

There are countless qualities that go into making My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic into such a memorable show. Its writing, setting, characters, but one aspect that stands out in particular is its music. Catchy songs and musical numbers were a frequent and beloved element of every season, and at the helm of the crew's music department was a man who defined the soundtrack of the show. In total, his contributions number over 80 songs composed and written for nine seasons of Friendship is Magic alongside two specials, the Equestria Girls films and its music videos, and even a fully orchestrated feature-length Movie. His melodies range from light-hearted bops to moving arias, with every emotional heart-string sure to be tugged. He's been acknowledged for his stunning performance with nominations and awards including the Leo and Daytime Emmies, but now it is time for him to receive one more accolade to his remarkable career: this day turned out to be perfect and it's his best night ever, it's your Mr. /mlp/ 2025 is none other than the maestro himself, DANIEL LUKE INGRAM!!!

A loud cheer for Daniel Ingram on this year's victory! And of course, a loud round of applause for his chaotic, unpredictable opponent DISCORD on taking the Silver Medal home as well: the embodiment of chaos and all things topsy turvy performed more than admirably this year, proving a close match even for the maestro he faced and 2nd place is his best performance in the history of Mr. /mlp/. And as Daniel Ingram himself is living proof, runner-ups in Mr. /mlp/ tend to go the distance sooner or later...

As always: thank you all for participating in Mr. /mlp/ and making this contest what it is. One last cheer for Mr. /mlp/ 2025, DANIEL INGRAM!

4 vs 2 removed, would have widened gap
>Best Villain
(You) vs. Dr. Eggman ( 54.4 - 45.6 )
3 vs 2 removed, would have widened gap
>Best Father
Igneous Rock Pie vs. Shining Armor ( 54 - 46 )
3 vs 3 removed, narrows gap but not enough
>Most Powerful
Brandon the Brony Pony vs. Jackie Chan Tulpa ( 56.1 - 43.9 )
4 vs 2 removed, would have widened gap
>Best Colt
Pipsqueak vs. Pistachio ( 59.8 - 40.2 )
5 vs 1 removed, would have widened gap

>The biggest win of the round overall goes to Butterscotch in the Most Cuddleable bracket, taking the win at 62.5% of the vote over (You) 70 to 42
>The closest win of the round goes to The Burdened in the Best Meme category, winning at only 50.9% and a mere 2 votes.
>Igneous Rock Pie is the 4th winner of Best Father, and all three of his predecessors (Bright Mac, Bow Hothoof, and Night Light) have also been the fathers of previous Miss /mlp/'s.
>This is Pistachio's 2nd time making Runner-up of Best Colt, coming second last year against Button Mash as well.
>Daniel Ingram as Seed 1 is tied for the highest Seed to ever win Mr. or Miss /mlp/, the other being fellow Seed 1 M.A. Larson from 2020.
>Daniel Ingram and M.A. Larson are also the only two instances of Seed 1's having won either pageant, and coincidentally Ingram and Larson are also the only two staff members to win as well.
>Not counting Scout working his way up through the Loser's Bracket in 2020, at Seed 22 Discord has a record as the lowest Seed to take Runner-up in Mr. /mlp/, as all other runners-up have been at least 15 or higher.
>At only five votes, Discord vs Daniel Ingram is the third closest Final in Mr. /mlp/ history. The two closest were coincidentally both of Daniel Ingram's earlier Finals, Spike only won by 4 votes and 15 by 3 votes.

And last but not least, a reminder that we still have the Post-Pageant Questionnaire wherein you can answer a quick series of questions following up on Mr. /mlp/ wherein you can offer commentary or suggestions on either pageant, and it has now been updated with the traditional Post-Pageant Exhibition matches pitching our newest winner, Daniel Ingram, against all six of his predecessors as well as this year's corresponding Miss /mlp/ winner, Pinkie Pie. The poll will run for either a few days or until the thread hits bump limit, whichever should happen first, so open the form below to vote one last time comparing Ingram to the rest of the board royalty between his six fellow princes and his matching princess.

My favorite did not win this year, but he's put on a good show and got his best result yet. Daniel Ingram was Seed #1 for a good reason: His music has made FiM what it is, at the end of the day.

So if 4chan doesn't die before Fall 2027, I'll be back to champion the complicated, chaotic kook who once fooled the public into believing Draconequi were actual, obscure mythological beasts because he's just that good.

I love Discord, but I also love Ingram for the amount of joy and whimsy he's brought to the show and the the fandom. Those moments of getting excited when Winter Wrap Up comes on is all because of Ingram. I would have been happy with either result, but I'm glad it was Ingram.

I understand why Ingram doesn't need a campaign to win, but not seeing anyone show up to party, either... that's a bit rough.

Mr. /mlp/ doesn't really draw a big crowd in general, and I think everyone is just content with Ingram winning. It's well deserved but also really predictable

It's appropriate that he won for 2025 since this is the year he turned 50.

It's crazy that he was about as old as I am now when the show premiered.

Are there any good non-meme male characters from fan made stuff? All of the most high-quality fan material that comes to mind focuses on the main cast.

>>42844952
None that I'd think would make it that far in the tourney due to obscurity but I'm sure they're out there. Frankly I would think Calamity/Murky would do better but I think FOE has stigma to it

Dr. Whooves is a show stallion but is the male equivalent to Derpy in terms of getting the most love in fan related stuff, I always think he's gonna win one of these years but he frequently loses out to guys I personally think he should be able to beat

Dr Whooves is never gonna win because Dr Who isn't popular anymore, especially on 4chan. It's one of those properties that used to be cool to like on here but now are shameful to like on here due to the growing culture war division.

Dr. Who was never good. He starts with a time machine and a magic pen that fixes all his problems. The show became popular because British television didn't offer good options for sci fi so the practical effects were appreciated. Also women are attracted to Dr. Who, I wouldn't know why.

Reminder that the Post-Pageant Questionnaire poll is still open if you want to provide any feedback on Mr. /mlp/ollo 2025, as well as vote on our Exhibition matches featuring our newest prince Daniel Ingram going up against his predecessors and this year's Miss, Pinkie. I intend to close the poll around mid-day tomorrow so any last calls, vote now:

Thanks, I thought it sounded really nice. I wasn't aware of any particular well known Daniel Ingram quotes but found a 2017 interview (I'm guessing for the movie) where they asked if there's any philosophies he lives by, and that sounded really good for the image.

There was another quote of his I liked though but thought it was too long to work into the image I figure I could share:
>If you want to be a composer, don’t just study music. You need to know about everything… poetry, art, architecture, theatre, film, history. A composer can’t exist in a vacuum. Travel often. Read constantly. Embrace everything with curiosity.
>*If you live fully and fill yourself with more influences than you can possibly understand, then you’ll be equipped to start writing meaningful music.*
>>
>>42847163
This man was vastly overqualified for making music for horse cartoon

>>42847163
>A composer can’t exist in a vacuum. Travel often. Read constantly. Embrace everything with curiosity.
A credo not just for composers, but artists in general. You did a great job on >>42845701.

>>42845997
I'd love to see Scorpan have another good run next year.
>>
>>42847163
That quote sounds like he's a natural, so inspiration is more important than studying music.
I wish I could express things through music like that.

The Post-Pageant Questionnaire will remain open to allow for any more feedback, but at this point I haven't gotten any new responses in quite a while so I think now is a good time to reveal the results as they are.

>Total Randomization
At 42.6% disapproval and 25.5% mixed, ultimately it seems Total Randomization was more miss than hit with voters. Supporters enjoyed the chaos and unpredictability of random match-ups but the downsides were that the lack of a clear line of where competitors would go would make it hard to build up hype for the next match-up when there's no way of knowing who they'll go against next. There is also the pointed issue of the delay between rounds due to the forms only able to be started on after the randomizations were completed at the end of each round, and some disagreement on how effective the Total Randomization would be at preventing meta-gaming of the match-ups. We gave it a try to see how it would do, but it is looking like Total Randomization may not see use again after 2025.

>Choice of the other three formats
By a solid 52.3% majority against the other two, the Loser's Bracket / Double Elimination format has won out in being the next most interested format to try, fitting as it also came second in the initial poll in Qualifier of the original four to choose from. While it is obviously too late to try it for Mr., if anons are interested I can still present it as an option in the Preliminary poll ahead of Miss /mlp/ next year to see if they'd be interested in trying it out then, otherwise we can make sure Mr. of next year will be another chance to try it.

>Mini-Bracket Cooldown
By a 60.4% margin, anons prefer not to introduce any sort of cool-down for Mini-Brackets if they should be used. There were comments about Mini-Brackets becoming a bit too samey with the same Mini-Brackets seeming to used consistently year to year with little variety, but others pointed out that the pool of Mini-Brackets is somewhat small in general so if some were to be excluded due to being used in the previous year, there may be a shortage. There are disagreements but at the very least it's shown a majority would prefer, even if some are being used year to year, they still want the option to vote on them.
>>
>>42849155
>Hiding the results of the RRR
By a 65.6% approval and only 22.% mixed, it seems the choice to hide the results of the Royal Round Robin rounds until the very end was a well received choice. There are some comments about wanting to comment on them earlier throughout the tourney, but others note it seems to accomplish it's original goal of preventing gaming matches and making the finale more of a surprise not knowing who's in the lead.

>Resolving Ties
By a solid 76.1%, the approved method of resolving ties continues to be allowing both contestants to progress. Many comment they enjoy the chaos of three-way rounds and would prefer to keep it this way going forward. In the preliminary this same question was met with, ironically, a tie in and of itself as to allow both to progress or settle the tie via discarded votes but it seems to have swung in this direction.

>Continue Mr. /mlp/ next year
By a decent 54.5% majority anons would prefer to keep voting on Mr. /mlp/ next year. I do not think it is a stretch to say Mr. is the least popular of our two tourneys, and over the years suggestions occasionally come up for trying something new in its place, even if just for a year. The most popular suggestion of these by far in the comments are a Couples or Tag-Team tourney wherein two characters are treated as a single competitor and it's a tournament of pairs, which seems to have a decent amount of interest. I will ask this question again next year in the Preliminary to see in advance if people would like to try a different tourney in Mr.'s place just for a change of pace, or if anons are interested perhaps a lighter year in general wherein Miss/Mr. both take a break to allow for a big Couples/Tag-Team tournament.

And now, the results of our exhibition matches pitting this year's winner Daniel Ingram against his fellow board royalty...

>Mr. /mlp/ 2019 vs 2025
It looks like Dan is going to be taking up a whole new vendetta against music, as Daniel Ingram leaves our very first Mr. /mlp/ in the dust with 70.3% of the vote! Dan has a solid track record in these exit polls, and thus far only show staff Larson and Ingram have been able to best him.

>Mr. /mlp/ 2020 vs 2025
Speaking of! In a pitched match between our two staff-members, in a close match between beloved writer and composer, local mad lad Larson's wings are clipped and Daniel takes the win at 56.8%! Larson thus far has been undefeated in the exit polls until now, Ingram being the one to break his record.

>Mr. /mlp/ 2021 vs 2025
15's work on pony AI voice synthesis helped inspire an entire genre of pony music in and of itself, but there's just no competing with the OG maestro as Ingram wins on a staggering 83.8% margin on this 2021 Finals rematch.

>Mr. /mlp/ 2022 vs 2025
Nothing may bring old King Haggard any sort of joy now save his precious unicorns, but perhaps he'd change his tune if he saw them dancing to some of Ingram's. Ingram takes the win over The Last Unicorn's antagonist with 67.6% of the vote.

>Mr. /mlp/ 2023 vs 2025
In yet another rematch from a year where Ingram nearly took the crown against a show character, this year's prince comes back with a vengeance against Twilight's number one assistant and takes the win over Spike the Dragon at a 73% margin

>Mr. /mlp/ 2024 vs 2025
Finally, in a match up against the controversial star player of the 4cc, this time it's >rape getting it from behind as Daniel Ingram scores his final goal in this gauntlet and takes >rape at 70.3%. This gives Daniel Ingram a clean sweep against ALL his predecessors in Mr. /mlp/, a feat only replicated once by Derpy in 2024 as the Miss /mlp/ of that year. But can he continue his streak against his female counterpart...?

>Miss /mlp/ 2025 vs Mr. /mlp/ 2025
This was by far the closest match of them all, decided by only one single vote, but in the end by a 51.4% margin it seems the singiest, dittiest, smile-loving PINKIE PIE will put an end to her composer's win streak. For the record however, to date NO Mr. /mlp/ has ever beat their Miss /mlp/ counterpart in these Post-Pageant contests, but at only 1 vote Ingram came far closer than any other before him.

You're not overqualified for jack shit in the world of art. People are allowed to put in the most effort into their art. It doesn't matter how ridiculous or simple the subject seems; you can never be too passionate, too time-investing, or too talented to do what you love. I hate this zoomerism.

How the fuck did Spike won? He doesn't even get threads and is considered a pathethic joke of a character. Chad Spike would make more sense to win instead, let alone Discord the actual canon Chad
>>
>>42851253
IMO it was the novelty of a show character actually making it to the finals. Put that in perspective, with Miss it's a given most of the strongest characters are going to be girls from the actual show but in Mr it's the exact opposite, showrunners or fans or even characters from entirely different cartoons have better shots. And of all the male characters to make it, it being Spike felt extra appropriate as the most significant male character since S1, especially because Twilight also won Miss that year so it was like a perfect pairing. IMO it was deserved but it just sucks it had to be Ingram getting screwed over, glad he finally got his win this year.

He's the closest thing to a male protagonist in G4, so he was bound to win.

When we do these kind of votes to change shit and there's more than one choice, can we please do ranked voting? I, and I'm sure most other people, would've rather had any of the other three systems as a second choice than total randomization.

Which ranked vote method do you have in mind?
>>
>>42853754
Not that anon, but I'm guessing what he means is that instead of choosing a single option you would rank each choice as 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th preference, and weighted accordingly.
That way you're more likely to get something everyone is reasonably happy with
>>
>>42853841
Yup, exactly what I was thinking. I would've preferred instant-runoff, but I don't think it's doable since we'd have to know who voted for the eliminated candidates in order to divvy up points to their second and third choices.
