"Excuse me, monsieur, is this the way to the castle?" "Yes, monsieur, straight ahead, and turn to the left when you come to the wall. They are expecting you." "Ah!" "Yes, my friend Devanne told us last night that you were coming, and I am delighted to be the first to welcome you. Herlock Sholmes has no more ardent admirer than... myself." [...] Then, for a moment, he [Herlock Sholmes] and Arsène Lupin gazed at each other; and, if a person could have seen them at that moment, it would have been an interesting sight, and memorable as the first meeting of two remarkable men, so strange, so powerfully equipped, both of superior quality, and destined by fate, through their peculiar attributes, to hurl themselves one at the other like two equal forces that nature opposes, one against the other, in the realms of space.

[...] At the railway station, he [Herlock Sholmes] spoke calmly, but in a voice that impressed one with the vast energy and will power of that famous man. He said: "Yes, he [Arsène Lupin] is a clever man, but some day I shall have the pleasure of placing on his shoulder the hand I now offer to you, Monsieur Devanne. And I believe that Arsène Lupin and Herlock Sholmes will meet again some day. Yes, the world is too small - we will meet - we must meet - and then—"

LOSER'S BRACKET: ROUND 3

[cherryelectricboogaloo]

Which of your OCs would get along the best? Which would hate/dislike each other? Which would be a terrifying team?

FROM CANONICAL INTERACTIONS AND SUCH, I’ll pick the ones that stick out in my head the most

DSMP would definitely be: Jean and Drache, Jean and Cherry… and I think a team up of the three of them would be the absolute MOST terrifying team, physically at least. Take a draconic hybrid who needs training to control their strength + a former gladiator who’s been through the trenches in 2B2T and lived to tell the tale + a former God emperor who brought an entire continent down to its knees. Those guys can Fuck You Up.

From DC, knowing who asked (hi Jimmy <3) it always ends up being Ellen and Enver I’d say, they match in energy and enthusiasm most of the time and it’s easy for them to get along despite acting like opposites most of the time, sibling things. Who hates each other? SARA AND HERLOCK IN THE SAME ROOM, HOW DOES THAT GO PFFFFFFFFFFFF a stoic detective who’s got all of Jean’s attention and Jean’s best friend who is VERY jealous of her friends? How could it POSSIBLY go wrong? And a terrifying team… I think I’d go with the Harker twins (Ellen and Enver) and Shannon/Rogue, put three metas in one city and let them fight as a unit, Shannon’s brief vision or the future comes VERY in handy with the flying squad.

From Ordem Paranormal, I only have a very few characters and no one has enough context on them, HOWEVER: Anya gets along the best with Jamile between my characters, they’re a combatant and a specialist after all, Anya handles fighting the paranormal alongside people just as grounded in Reality™ as herself. The ones who would least get along is Anya and Matteo, for the simple reason that Matteo is an occultists and uses rituals. Nothing that makes Anya more upset than Rituals and Occultists (Mathias and Dante are exceptions because they’re Useful). Most terrifying teamup would be all of them in the same room, though it would take lots of teamwork to make them all get along.

From Danganronpa, the ones who get along the best would definitely be Airi and Hachirou. They’ve known each other the longest, been together as a couple and as friends the longest, consider each other equals and have, in every way, become better as people together. The ones who least get along HAS to go to Josette and Mizuki, internalized homophobia vs raging bi lesbian queen FIGHT, especially with how traditionally feminine Josette presents and how Mizuki is all about being the world’s biggest delinquent punk. Most terrifying team, at least physically, has to go to Kaito/Louis and Johanna. Put a very well-trained thief who knows almost all types of martial arts and the Ultimate Duelist on the same team, give them some direction and watch them destroy the world!

Hello, hello!

After a few days, and careful consideration, I have decided both through a mix of your submissions and a few personal picks of my own... The Detective Bracket!!

THE MATCHUPS: BRACKET 1: -Sam and Max (Sam and Max) VS Detective Pikachu (Detective Pikachu) -Batman (DC) vs Eddie Valiant (Roger Rabbit) -Basil of Baker Street (The Great Mouse Detective) VS Iris Archwell (StreetPass) -Honor Mizrahi (Murder by Numbers) VS Kuruto Ryuki (AI: The Somnium Files) BRACKET 2: -Goro Akechi (Persona 5) VS Dick Gumshoe (Ace Attorney) -Lynne (Ghost Trick) VS L (Death Note) -Naoto Shirogane (Persona 4) VS Kyoko Kirigiri (Danganronpa) -Tohru Adachi (Persona 4) VS Hercule Poirot (Poirot) BRACKET 3: -Kaname Date (AI: The Somnium Files) VS Professor Layton (Professor Layton) -Erika Furudo (Umineko) VS Lady Love Dies (Paradise Killer) -Shinichi Kudo (Detective Conan) VS Kim Kitsuragi (Disco Elysium) -Benoit Blanc (Knives Out) VS Nancy Drew (Nancy Drew) BRACKET 4: -BBC Sherlock (BBC) VS Hank Schrader (Breaking Bad) -Inspector Gadget (Inspector Gadget) VS Columbo (Columbo) -Herlock Sholmes (Ace Attorney) VS Sherlock Holmes (Sherlock Holmes) -Kyle Hyde (Hotel Dusk) VS Dale Cooper (Twin Peaks) But wait, there's more! Introducing... the Loser's Bracket! How it works: When a character loses a given match, they will enter the loser's bracket. There, they gain a chance to make it back to the main bracket, with the winner of each dual bracket (Brackets 1 and 2 and Brackets 3 and 4) having to face the winner of the respective losing bracket set. This gives some less appreciated characters a second chance to win! One last thing. Watch out. There may be surprises along the way... The actual voting portion will open Tomorrow, from 8 PM to 8:15 PM CT, and will remain open for one day!

[thegreatbigdetectivepolll]

ROUND ONE - RESULTS!

MATCHUPS: -Sam and Max (Sam and Max) VS Eddie Valiant (Who Framed Roger Rabbit)

-Basil of Baker Street (The Great Mouse Detective) VS Kuruto Ryuki (AI The Somnium Files: Nirvana Initiative)

-Dick Gumshoe (Ace Attorney) VS Lynne (Ghost Trick)

-Professor Layton (Professor Layton) VS Erika Furudo (Umineko)

-Kim Kitsuragi (Disco Elysium) VS Benoit Blanc (Knives Out)

-Dex Dogtective (FoodFight) VS Columbo (Columbo)

-Herlock Sholmes (The Great Ace Attorney) VS Dale Cooper (Twin Peaks) Woo! This had quite a few surprises, but here's the results for Round One! I must say, I had a lot of expectations - and just about every single one was blown out of the water. I'm very excited to see the next part! Oh, and one more thing...

Here's the loser's bracket! Those empty spaces are for the next matchup these characters will face.

MATCHUPS:

-Detective Pikachu (Detective Pikachu) VS Batman (DC)

-Iris Archwell (Nintendo's StreetPass) VS Honor Mizrahi (Murder by Numbers)

-Goro Akechi (Persona 5) VS L (Death Note)

-Kyoko Kirigiri (Danganronpa) VS Tohru Adachi (Persona 4)

-Kaname Date (AI: The Somnium Files) VS Lady Love Dies (Paradise Killer)

-Shinichi Kudo (Detective Conan) VS Nancy Drew (Nancy Drew

-Hank Schrader (Breaking Bad) VS Inspector Gadget (Inspector Gadget)

-Sherlock Holmes (Sherlock Holmes) VS Amelia Watson (Hololive) and Kyle Hyde (Hotel Dusk) I am implementing a special rule - should a character have to face someone in Losers that they already lost to in Winners, they will swap with whoever is on the opposite side of the bracket. This may come into effect very soon depending on what happens! With that being said, you may notice Kyle and Amelia stacked together. This is because I have decided to keep Kyle, the two are now in a duo slot! No three-way polls, just duo slot for both of them. The three way rule was only ever meant for BBC Sherlock who has been destroyed. GOOD! With that, I'll be announcing the date for round 2 very shortly! Thank you all!
