To The Death!

Current tournament: Villain Song Showdown 2 I'm going to make people fight it out through polls.

[its-to-the-death]

Hey guys

It's been a while and I hate to show up here only to say that I'm going to cancel the tournament. I've been busy as someone who's about to graduate and thought I could find time to at least finish this tournament which is why I put off saying this, but clearly I do not have the time to run this blog anymore. In general, I was planning on it being the last one since I don't think my heart is quite in it as much anymore either. I'm very sorry to anyone who was looking forward to the tournament!

Maybe one day I'll come back to this blog and complete it :) but I wish you all well and if you start your own tournament, I'll always be happy to promote it if you tag me!

since it's spotify wrapped day it's time for my favourite game - send me a number from 1-100 and I'll share that song from my top songs of 2025 playlist!

Apologies for this taking so long. I've been juggling a lot but I'm onto making the preliminary polls, although I don't have a set date for posting them yet. Hopefully I can get them done before finals squashes me like a bug.

[its-to-the-death]

I'm sorry your notes are full of 'um actually' criticism from undertale fans, please keep doing what you're doing and I hope they chill out! (no need to answer just wanted to support)

It doesn't bother me too much, especially since it's from an older tournament, but thank you!

[its-to-the-death]

Thanks for all the submissions! I need to take some time to process them but will update when preliminaries are ready to start

Greek God Games Winners

Thank you to everyone who participated in this tournament! I had a lot of fun even though managing the odd bracket numbers threw me off at first! Now to announce our winners:

In third place... Hades from Hadestown!

In second place... Zagreus from Hades!

And in first...

Persephone from Hadestown!

It was really fun getting into both Hades and Hadestown during the course of this tournament (I actually got my first clear in Hades today!). I highly recommend checking both of them out as well as all the other Greek god iterations who participated in this tournament!

Submissions for the next tournament will be out shortly! I'll see you all there!

For the next tournament, all the options are going to be sequels! We'll return to one of this blog's previous tournaments
