C3 VOTING PAGE
Yep, another C3 gone! Boy, time sure does fly when you're having fun. Now it's time for the votin'! Toot toot!
Our categories haven't really changed much; we've not reinvented the wheel. All we do is tweak the list each C3 to make it fit for that C3's submissions. And like we did last time, we've made it super easy and listed/explained each category below.
Now, you haven't got long. We don't like to drag things out longer than we need to. So, you have 72 hours from the time of this post (my timing is impeccable) to cast your votes. That's 17:00 UTC on Monday 18th July. You can also look at that nice little timer at the top of every page.
Enjoy your voting! And good luck if you made something this C3!
| Category | Explanation |
| 1. Best Feedback | This is a user who was doing some solid feedbacking. Someone who really went that extra mile with the quality of their feedback. |
| 2. Most Impressive | A thread that was so impressive, it made you fall off your chair. Or if you have one of those swishy-cool standing desks, made you fall over. |
| 3. Biggest Game-Changer | A thread that will redefine SMW hacking, ROM hacking, or the world in general, forever. The C3 thread equivalent of Pokémon Legends: Arceus. |
| 4. Biggest Surprise | A thread that made your mouth drop open, and jaw hit the floor. Jaw drop moment. |
| 5. Best Finished/Demo SMW Hack (Standard) | A SMW hack release. Could have been a demo, could have been a full-blown 300-exit bonanza. |
| 6. Most Anticipated SMW Hack (Standard) | A SMW hack that's in development, causing you to build a time machine to travel into the future to play it. They might have released a demo this C3, or not. |
| 7. Best Finished/Demo SMW Hack (Kaizo/Pit) | Basically, imagine category 5. but for Kaizo/Pit. |
| 8. Most Anticipated SMW Hack (Kaizo/Pit) | Imagine category 6. but for Kaizo/Pit... Time machine... Can't wait for hack... You get the jist. |
| 9. Best Non-SMW Hack/Game Thread | The best thread this C3 that was maybe hacking a different game, or working on a completely custom built game altogether. It could be a hack/game, it could be a resource relating to ROM hacking something that isn't SMW. |
| 10. Quality over Quantity | You could post one screenshot, but it's the best screenshot ever. You could release one port, but it's the best port ever. Anything that didn't look like a lot, but what was there was HUGE... Metaphorically. |
| 11. Funnest Thread | This thread was so much fun you exploded. |
| 12. Weirdest Thread | This thread gave you the same vibes that side-eye girl had on that meme from 2004. |
| 13. Best Screenshots/Videos | These screenshots and/or videos blew you away. So far away in fact, you found yourself in your neighbour's house and they're starting to ask questions... |
| 14. Best Trailer | "But Tahixham, what's the difference between a trailer and a video". A video is just like, "hey here's level 3 of my hack". A trailer is more of a "here's snippets of my whole hack combined into one video. Get excited.". |
| 15. Best SMW Graphics Thread | A thread showcasing or releasing graphics for SMW hacks. Could be rips, could be custom. This category doesn't discriminate. |
| 16. Best SMW Music/Soundtrack Thread | Anything related to SMW music. Could be samples, ports, custom songs for SMW, or even soundtracks. |
| 17. Best SMW ASM Thread | Threads created by SMW Central nerds who want you to LDA their ASM into your HCK. Two of those aren't opcodes. Patches, blocks, custom sprites, UberASM, etc, all in this one. As long as it's for a SMW hack. |
| 18. Best Tool Thread | Any thread showing off a tool or releasing a tool. This one isn't just SMW - could be for anything. |
| 19. Best Request Thread | A place where you ask for something and someone makes you it in return. Or they may ask for things and not make them, that's just the way these things go. |
| 20. Best Art Thread | Threads where people have drawn pretty things. Not just drawn, music, poems, stories - they're all art. This is stuff that isn't designed for ROM hacks here. |
| 21. Best Misc. Thread | Obscure threads made by obscure people that don't fit anywhere else in C3. This is a safe space for all the misfits. |
| 22. Honorary Mention | Imagine a thread that was still really good, but probably won't stand up to the tough C3 competition. This is what Honorary Mention is for! You can vote for any thread here, but they will only qualify for a trophy if they do not rank in any other categories - this is so the threads that were good but get overlooked in your voting still have a chance at winning a trophy. |
