There's a prime number of entrants, it's pretty much impossible to assemble matchups.


I see 27 names at present, which is 3x3x3. Unless there are still characters missing, that should make a perfect three-round contest with three-way eliminations.

28 gets awkward at 2x2x7. You either get a 7-way first or final round, or you could break the top 7 down into groups of 2-2-3 then have a three-way final.

29 is prime, but primes are actually easy to break down. First round: 7 groups of 2 and 5 groups of 3 equals 29, leaving 12 winners for Round 2. 12 breaks down easily as 2x2x3.

30: 6 groups of two, 6 groups of 3. 12 winners, 2x2x3.

Numbers... math... I shall consume it all and s*** out answers.

Well, with 27 names present, and if another character is entered before the beginning, we'll have 28, evenly divisible by 2x14, basically, there has to be a three way. You consufe me!

Good to see my character's on the initial listing.

But I bet I'm going to hear plenty of fallout on her, about not being creative enough, etc despite the facts and the timing behind her. I'll say again, I'd certainly like to be proven wrong!

I've had her in my mind since MKII hit arcades, remember (and I think I may have got the year confused, which if so, pardon me for it). Best of luck to everyone, and may the best fighter win.

Aye, I am back and I do have a character in. Maybe if we place again we might be able to collect our prizes this time around, eh?

My wording might be confusing, but the scheme really isn't. For 28:

Round 1: 28 breaks into 14 pairs
Round 2: 14 breaks into 7 pairs
Round 3: 7 breaks into 2 pairs and a three-way
Final: Three-way.

So yeah, you have the right idea. There does have to be a couple of threes thrown in.

I think there are some creations missing. Someone had just resent there creation because they said they sent it through IM and it's not on the list. So will just have to wait longer.

Nah, it only means I noticed a similarity between "Dai Kahn" the character and "daikon" the popular Asian vegetable, and wondered if it was an intentional play on words.

I'm keepin' my character a secret, for now.

I'm starting to wonder if my character's name is really as MK-ish as I thought it was when I made her.

Though I wasn't really thinking about MK when I named her, I just like the name.

Well if it's a female name, 60% of MK female names end in "-a" (or in the case of Ashrah, "-ah") if that's any indication. It's a far more prevalent trend than even the "characters named after words" that people make fun of. Then again, it might be balanced that way in real life too....
