Welp 2016 has gone by, and the voting for my yearly contest has finally finished! The competition was fierce this year, with there being MANY people barely getting edged out in votes and with the contest having a slightly larger amount of ties than last year. Quite frankly I consider this a testament to our excellent community, which pumps out lots of high quality content,despite some dips in active members from time to time.
I hope everyone had a fun time participating even if they didn't win and I'm glad I can get so many people to get involved in a big project like this!
Anyway without further adui it’s time wrap everything up by formally announcing our winners!
1st place

This years first place winner is HerosShade! Personally I don’t think this
was much of a surprise to anyone who voted. Hero (and Thor who helped to an
extent) have been talking about this dream match for quite a while and clearly
put a lot of effort into making the most accurate analysis they could. Likewise
outside the info dump for both characters, they took a lot of time to write an
interesting and funny combat scenario for the math-up as well.
So overall well researched, entertaining and a fantastic
blog that really does deserve to win this year.

A long time ago, in a website far far away... actually not
that far away at all... it was here... a biased fantard ranted and whined in
the comments about how Goku should have won. After getting ripped a new one by
the regulars, and being taught the ways of VS, this boy began writing fan-made
DEATH BATTLE content of his own. One day, he decided to make a blog on a
character no one had before: Axe Cop. Although he's gotten way better since
then, and has discovered that Axe Cop doesn't actually solo fiction as he once
thought, it is still considered one of the best DB-related blogs in the
Screwattack community.
This boy- okay you probably figured out by now that it's me,
especially if you've been following G1 Legacy
(Shameless plugs ftw), I challenged others to come up with a worthy
opponent for this insanely OP character, some of which included Pre-crisis
Superman, The Tick, and various cartoon characters like Monkey from Dexter's
Lab. But the one that stood out was the embodiment of Japanese weirdness
himself, Bobobo Bobo-Bobo. It wasn't until years later that I actually wrote a
VS blog on these two (with G1 ThorG1058's help) and I'm very happy with how it
turned out.
Thank you all for being so supportive of me, this wouldn't
exist if it weren't for you.
Stay awesome."
2nd place

Ultraguy comments: Another
non-surprising placement in my opinion. Last year’s winner placed spectacularly
just as expected and with a very unorthodox matchup to boot. The
popularity of the requests seems to have not mattered much in the long run, as
people recognized the writing and research as top notch.
Great job grand! And here’s to another year of blog making!

Woo! Second place! Better than third, not as good as first!
Many thanks to the people who voted for me in this contest. I put a lot of work
into Spiderman VS Kyoko, so it's nice to see that came through. I originally
planned on only doing an analysis for Kyoko, but I wanted to use Spiderman in
some sort of DB blog eventually too since he's my favorite comic hero. So I
found enough reason to justify them having a match together and threw it into a
big prediction with a written fight. Tried my hardest to accurately represent
the two of them, and it seems that I did.
I know that my blogging habits kind of slacked last year,
what with the new site and all. Plus school's had me keeping busy, but three DB
blogs and a few others doesn't seem too bad. I got a lot of stuff planned for
soon as well, so I hope you all enjoy it when it comes out. See you all then!

This year we have a 3 way tie for 3rd place! Congrats to imp! I
realize that for some bizarre reason you didn’t think you’d make it this far up
in the placement, but trust me your blog on sailor moon was AWESOME and you
deserve the accolades everyone wants to give you.
Next ThankSwalot your blog on sceptile was one of the more
detailed Pokémon blogs I’ve seen in recent months and I think you did a great
job on covering a character that often goes unrecognized in the DB Pokémon
fandom.
Finally Thor you did an awesome job with your Freddy Kruger
blog. I had little to no idea how expansive and hax his powers were until
after I read your blog. I’d love to see him in a fight a lot more than I ever
have now.

How on earth did I
get this high?

I was hoping I'd place high in this but I didn't expect it
to be this high, especially with that being the first
blog I ever made. There were some really good ones in there that made
me worried a bit, but you can't believe how happy I was to find out I made 3rd
place in the end. Guess my love for Pokémon really paid off so to those
who voted for me, thanks

Oh wow this is quite an honor. I’d
like to thank my parents for creating me and our President Axe Cop…but in all
seriousness, it feels great to just get votes to begin, let alone to make it
into the top 3. I never saw my blogs as fantastic or anything, and certainly
not to the degree the other winners are so it means a great deal to me that you
guys see them as such. Imp did a great
job with her Usagi blog, it is super comprehensive and accurate, she is the
victim of a lot of unjustified Nerfing in other VS communities so it’s great we
have hers to turn to. Blazer did one hell of a comeback with a fun lil
prediction blog with a lot of re-readability. Finally Shade did great on that
Axe Cop VS Bobobo-Bo Bo-Bobo blog me and him had been debating that forever, so
to see it come to fruition was quite a treat. The music was epic and the
writing was hilarious, also I collabed with him on that blog so technically i
did win in a way :P
Let’s give a round of applause for all our contestants this
year! Hopefully we can continue to make this site tradition in years following!
For anyone wondering the next anthology blogs (with numerous
blogs from last year) will probably be out sometime next month or so. For
winners wondering about their prizes, I’ll contact you all individually and we
can work out the details.
