Prepare for a long one nearly three hours.
Yeah, I’m not listening to 3 hours.
Someone mind transcribing the brackets as they go?
Hippopocalypse wins all brackets.

In truth it's about 2:45, but yeah I'm splitting hairs. In all honesty we(or at least I) knew this was gonna be a long one. No one would be happy if they skimped or skimmed over this one.
This.
So kacited!!
I will say so far except for one matchup I’m pretty satisfied with the results even if I was wrong with my bracket.
Sky-Scraper is the opening episode for January

I’d suggest deleting the post for now if you can’t get it to white out the text for those who don’t want spoiler yet.
Got it! Fixed up above now!
(Edit--So, tallying up, I ended up with a total of 38. Not bad, considering I messed up pretty much the entire Champion tier...)
Thanks Adam for toughing it out to record this episode. Just remember folks kids make you stronger against illnesses........

All I know is I'm happy I got Fanatic beating Legacy, which apparently most people did not. :) But yeah, I underestimated both her and Nightmist, big-time, to say nothing of Citizen Dawn. I feel bad for all the people who called Lifeline as the winner; I think that would have gone much differently had the Blood Magic episode come sooner.
Man, this episode was great, though. Christopher and Adam were obviously really excited to tell us this story, and a lot of the fights were surprisingly thrilling to hear about after the fact. Also, now we need an Infected Fright Train promo. Also, Magical Girl Citizen Dawn. :V
Okay, but seriously, now I'm starting to think I should be shipping Haka and Kaargra. >.> We'll see what happens in her episode. Which I assume is coming before Sky-Scraper because she got introduced to comics along with the Coliseum?

Yeah, I felt sorry for Adam through the whole episode. Poor guy… (I have to give him credit for sounding more coherent than I do whenever I'm stuffed up, though.)
As for the contest, well. On the one hand, I was so ridiculously wrong it's not funny, though this doesn't surprise me any.
On the other hand… they incidentally answered two questions I asked as followup questions after the Argent Adept episode yonks ago. (If anyone's curious: I asked essentially what Argent's personal sacrifice was in saving Visionary, and why the baton warped Anthony's personality in a way none of the other Virtuoso instruments ever had.)
On the gripping hand, man, those were super depressing answers.
Uh, so, I think maybe I came out as a net positive? Just slightly?

Kaargra and the Coliseum episode is two weeks from now.
I think the only part of this contest I don't agree with was Bugbear. I had Bugbear doing to Proletariat what Spite ended up doing, devouring the clones with his stone and becoming more powerful. And it seems his loss was mostly because he was too shocked to be back in existence again that he didn't start fighting until after Proletariat had started beating him with hammers.
And still, unless I really misunderstand how that stone works, I would have thought he could recover from that and start ripping the life force from Proletariat ,ike he did Calypso. But, they almost seems like a rigged match where Jansa really should have let Bugbear out sooner so he could be ready to actually fight instead of just popping him back into a place with air and time and expecting him to start fighting immediately.
Other than that, most of this was really good. I get why some of the fights I got wrong were wrong, and I loved a lot of the later fights that ended up happening. Also, I'm blown away that this is the first time that Baron Blade's Fission Blaster is revealed, and I'm super excited that it could potentially be a card in Luminary's deck. I love that thing in Tactics
"There are some upsets here."
Understatement of the century. :P
