Rankings Reveal! - TickleTickles Championship II

It's tickle time! Now that all of our competitors have been selected, I’ve ranked all of them from #1 to #32, and that will decide who fights who in the bracket. (#1 vs. #32, #2 vs. #31, etc.) Rankings are generally based on strength, skill, tickle ability, popularity, and past tournament performance. Basically, the higher your ranking, the better your chance of winning the championship!

With the size of the field being doubled this season, it hasn’t been easy, but the bracket is now set, and all you tournament super-fans can read the full rankings report below!

Rankings:

32. Meg Griffin (Family Guy) – Meg once had a brief career as a foot fetish model, and … that’s about it. In a field full of psychos, Meg will be lucky to survive more than ten seconds in the Tickle Zone.

31. Marge Simpson (The Simpsons) – Well, the Simpsons have done just about everything else, so Marge has decided to try her hand at becoming a Tickle Champion. But with huge feet and shoes that slip off very easily, this might be the shortest episode Marge has ever been in.

30. Yuri (Doki Doki Literature Club) – Shy. Reserved. Introverted. These are words you DON’T want to hear when you’re taking part in a tickle tournament. Yuri might have been brave enough to put her name down on the sign-up sheet, but this could be a competition she wishes she never entered.

29. Frankie Foster (Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends) – If you were growing up in the early 2000s, Frankie Foster might have stolen your heart. As a hardworking gal who loves a good foot rub, it’s difficult not to have a soft spot for her. The only problem? No powers! No abilities! Surely no hope? Frankie has only her personality to fall back on in this tournament, and that might not be enough for this low-seeded hottie.

28. Vicky (Fairly OddParents) – The nastiest babysitter on the planet, Icky Vicky might seem like the type of hothead who can come up with a good tickle torture plan, but her poor temper control and lack of superpowers leaves her trailing behind in the rankings. When it comes to the tournament, it could be that Vicky meets a sticky end.

27. Amy Rose (Sonic the Hedgehog) – The Sonic world is full of characters with oversized shoes, and you can bet a cutie like Amy Rose is packing some oversized feet! She’s likely to be very ticklish, and Amy might want to replace her giant hammer with a giant feather for the tournament, but her furry popularity gives her a slim chance of success. Possibly a rose waiting to bloom?

26. Sandy Cheeks (SpongeBob SquarePants) – Yeehaw! Sandy Cheeks is taking a break from life under the sea to compete in this here tickle tournament! With her feisty personality and rootin’ tootin’ karate skills, the sassy squirrel is prepared to tickle them toes all day long! But will tickles drive this sassy squirrel nuts? You bet, sugar!

25. Marie Kanker (Ed, Edd n Eddy) – Considered the most popular of the Kanker Sisters, Marie is the type of gal who can happily spend her evenings locking you in stocks and giving you a clammy taste of footsies. Her kink rating is admirable, and her cartoon agility is a plus, but will the more powerful ticklers eat her alive? It’s an uphill task for the Footsie Queen, but Marie might just be a bracket-buster waiting to happen.

24. Suki (Avatar: The Last Airbender) – She might not get as much attention as other Avatar girls, but as a legendary Kyoshi Warrior, Suki has plenty of prior fighting experience, and is ready to apply those skills to whatever tickle match comes her way! But Suki has been locked up in prison before, and the rest of the field will be looking to lock her in the tickle stocks for good.

23. Kitty Katswell (T.U.F.F. Puppy) – A skilled secret agent, Kitty Katswell knows a thing or two about sneaking up on unsuspecting opponents and getting into a fight. However, Kitty’s animal instincts can be exploited, and if she runs into another furry girl, the results could be explosive. Me-owwww!

22. Jenny Wakeman (My Life as a Teenage Robot) – As the only android in the field, Jenny Wakeman might be more at home in the world of robot combat, but her superior strength and bubbly bot persona could be an asset when it comes to the tournament. Just one problem – bots break down ALL the time, and her opponents might be able to exploit a malfunction in order to defeat her.

21. Katnappe (Xiaolin Showdown) – This slender, slinky cat-girl will be looking for a purr-fect run in the tournament. She’s won a few showdowns in the past, and her kitty claws will prove a taunting tool in the Tickle Zone – but if felines can be awfully sensitive to a rub on the tummy, a feather to the feet could lead to a cat-astrophe for Katnappe.

20. Demona (Gargoyles) – Demonic in name, demonic in nature. Demona is a savage fighter who loathes humans, and she could be a dark horse for the championship. But if she hates humans so much, is she really going to want to touch their feet? And are those claws TOO sharp for tickles? Demona’s abilities keep her in the mix, but a more skilled tickler might get the better of this grumpy gargoyle.

19. Sedusa (The Powerpuff Girls) – Last seen wrangling with Miss Bellum in the 90s, Sedusa has the unique ability of being able to wrap up her victims with her own tentacle-like hair! And if there’s one thing that goes down well with tickle fans, it’s tentacle bondage. No stranger to a bit of girl-on-girl action, a supervillain like Sedusa has the potential for a decent run in the tournament.

18. Kim Possible (Kim Possible) – Nothing is impossible when Kim Possible is on the scene! As one of the world’s most skilled secret agents, Kim should have no trouble tracking down and hunting her opponents in the tournament. Kim’s only concern is that plenty of supervillains will be hungry for the chance to capture those slender spy soles for their own.

17. Clover (Totally Spies) – No stranger to showing off her feet, the blond beauty Clover enters the tournament for the first time, ranked only one spot below fellow spy Alex! Her lack of tournament experience puts her just outside the Top 16, but Clover has the potential to create an upset or two, even if it’s at the expense of her ticklish teammate.

16. Alex (Totally Spies) – Alex returns for another shot at the tournament, after falling short in last season’s opening round thanks to a close tiebreak vote with eventual champion Katara. One extra vote for Alex could have altered the entire outcome of the competition, and should they face off again, Alex is going to be desperate for some payback. Like, totally!

15. Gwen Tennyson (Ben 10: Ultimate Alien) – A skilled sorceress, Gwen Tennyson is a fan favorite, and sure to enjoy a healthy dose of support in the tournament. With too many powers to count, Gwen has a solid chance at a deep run, but in a field packed with powerful ticklers, the competition will be high for even the most mighty magician.

14. Medusa Gorgon (Soul Eater) – When your body is full of snakes and you like to run barefoot everywhere, what do you do? Become an insane supervillain, of course! Medusa’s unique powers give her the potential to go very far in the bracket, and anyone with a fear of snakes will try to keep this girl at arm’s length. Her only weakness might just be those very exposed feet…

13. Batgirl (The New Batman Adventures) – Have no fear, Batgirl is here! Barbara Gordon might not have any superpowers, but anyone trained by the legendary Batman is sure to be a worthy foe in the bracket. An agile athletic and a talented genius, Batgirl might just be able to slip out of any tickle situation – but the criminals of the tournament will be on the lookout for this vigilante, and Harley Quinn herself might just have her heart set on giving Batgirl a very permanent smile indeed.

12. Wuya (Xiaolin Showdown) – An evil Haylin witch with devastating powers, Wuya is free from her ghost form and looking to take out her frustrations on the rest of the field! Many a victim has fallen prey to her seductive charm in the past, and with the Shen Gong Wu at her disposal, Wuya has the potential to make a few ripples in the bracket. If you’re looking for someone who loves a good showdown, Wuya’s your girl!

11. Star Butterfly (Star vs. The Forces of Evil!) – Always popular, the adorable Star Butterfly has no shortage of tickle art, and she even has a powerful magic wand that could prove useful when it comes to subduing her opponents. A trip to the Top 16 seems likely, but other cuties such as Starfire might not take too kindly to seeing another sweetie-pie in the bracket. Either way, Star is ready to take on the forces of tickles!

10. Nicole Watterson (The Amazing World of Gumball) – In a field dominated by superheroes and action girls, a housewife like Nicole Watterson is coming in as the highest ranked furry character. Controversial? Nah! Anyone familiar with Nicole’s wacky cartoon adventures will know that she can do battle with incredible foes, lift objects ten times her own weight, and even cook you a decent meal before bedtime! The rest of the field should take on this cat-MILF at their peril.

9. Mavis Vermillion (Fairy Tail) – Ranked highest of all the Patreon picks, Mavis Vermillion walks barefoot everywhere, and is very in touch with her feet. Just try getting near them, though, as Mavis is blessed with the ability to create realistic visions that could prove a thorny problem for other ticklers in the bracket. Mavis has high hopes of doing very well in the tournament, and perhaps another barefoot girl is the only thing that can stop her…

8. Toph (Avatar: The Last Airbender) – After being the only high seed to crash out in the first round last season, Toph has slipped down the ranks a little, with her powerful feet being seen as both a strength and a weakness. But with fellow bender Katara becoming the first Tickle Champion, you have to wonder if Toph is more determined than ever to redeem herself and win it all this time. Don’t mess with an earth-bender, Twinkle Toes!

7. Terra (Teen Titans) – A vicious newcomer with a lot of high expectations, Terra is a fearsome opponent who will stop at nothing to win – especially if it means taking down a Teen Titan in the process. With her incredible earth powers, Terra looks set to make a deep run in the tournament, but is she too mentally unstable to go all the way? That is the question.

6. Starfire (Teen Titans) – Who doesn’t love her? Only down one place from last season, Starfire is the perfect all-rounder, bursting with charm and never short on popularity. The Tamaranian cutie made a decent run to the quarter-finals last time, and this season she’ll be looking to go even further, making plenty of other ticklers laugh themselves silly along the way. For Starfire, the tickles truly are joyous!

5. Azula (Avatar: The Last Airbender) – Last season’s #1 seed has revenge on her mind. After falling short of expectations via a surprise upset loss to Harley Quinn, the Queen of Mean is back and ready to make the rest of the field pay! Azula might not be the top tickler anymore, but with her ferocious fire-bending abilities and calculating mind, this isn’t a girl you want to underestimate in the tournament.

4. Harley Quinn (Batman: The Animated Series) – The worthy winner of last season’s Most Valuable Tickler award, Harley Quinn is ready for another round of laughs! The Joker’s jester made it all the way to the semi-finals last time, and interestingly, has never been beaten outright in a vote, losing only on a close tiebreak to Raven. Is this the sign of a future champion? Harley certainly thinks so, puddin!

3. Blackfire (Teen Titans) – Cruel, merciless, and just plain mean, Blackfire cruised to the semi-finals last season before getting a taste of her own tickle medicine from eventual champion Katara. As Starfire’s evil twin, you’d better believe that Blackfire will do everything in her power to reach the top this time – even if it means going through her own little sister to get there.

2. Raven (Teen Titans) – It’s the return of the gorgeous grey-skinned goth-gal! Raven went on an incredible run last season, making it all the way to the Grand Final, and only just losing out on a tense tiebreak vote to Katara. Raven certainly has all the tickle skills and the right personality to be a champion, but will she always be second best? For last season’s runner-up, it’ll be her mission to prove she can make it all the way this time.

1. Katara (Avatar: The Last Airbender) – The defending champion! Unbeaten with a 4-0 record, Katara locks up the #1 seed and enters the field with only one goal in mind – win back-to-back titles and prove that she’s invincible! No longer the Little Water-Bender That Could, there are signs that the power of winning has gone to Katara’s head, and all of her opponents can expect a merciless tickle punishment should they be unlucky enough to get in her way! As the undisputed Tickle Champion, it should be no surprise to see Katara at the top of the pack.

And that is your field for the TickleTickles Championship! So how do you guys feel about the rankings? What match-ups are you itching to see? Which quadrant of the bracket is the toughest in your eyes? Anything can happen in the tournament, and with more competitors than ever before, it could be the most unpredictable series of tickle battles ever.

Just like last season, there’ll be a vote for each tickle fight, where you get to decide who you think would win, and then I’ll draw the winner tickling the loser! (In the event of a tiebreak, I will cast the deciding vote.) The winner advances to the next round, and whoever is left standing at the end will be the next TickleTickles Champion! I've included the full tournament bracket so you can follow along with all the action, and it'll be updated with every new match result.

Look out for the first tickle vote coming soon!
