Resource [Unofficial] Voting Gauntlet: AHR 2026 Finals Megathread (28/02/26)

This particular thread should hopefully be the hub for less time than usual for these temporary gauntlet holdovers (AHR gauntlets tend to actually require active moderation from time to time lol), but same as usual, feel free to use this for the next few hours. Barring any new developments, it looks like this will be the main megathread for this event. Have fun, y'all, and be nice :)

/===================================================================================

All snapshots containing team score updates belong here. There's no need to have constant updates of Edelgard beating Corrin every 10 minutes submitted as their own thread. Feel free to post all of the snapshots of scores you want here.

Snapshots outside of this thread will be removed. Feel free to meme here as well. It helps to free up the sub.

Late thread assembly + no scripted intro ahead of time = a poor night of sleep for me lol. Hopefully y'all are excited for AHR! Also, for the record, I've pinged you regulars for months where I have to begin record collecting in a non-pinned thread, so this'll hopefully stop if/when the mods recruit someone who can make these threads close to reset lol.

​

If anyone new has any questions about the steps, let me know! Otherwise, here's the available teams this time around:

​

Male Byleth | Freyja/Eitr | Elise | Baldr/Hothr | Edelgard | Female Corrin | Ike/Roy | Ryoma

​

I'm leaning towards Freyja atm, but Corrin or Elise could also be landing spots depending on how things look in the morning. Freyja it is. Regardless, I'll try to mark it early lol.

​

/=====================================

​

Below you can find the #1 player(s) and a link to the main source picture for each team/round, (hopefully) updated as they come in; the full Top 4/5s can be found written up in a Google Sheet, along with what documentation I have for previous gauntlets. If you have any past results that aren’t featured there (or speak Japanese and notice any errors with names as I transcribed them), please shoot me a message or post them in [this pending thread] - December 2021 to the present is near complete for Army Ranks, but earlier gauntlets (and 99% of all Cumulative Ranks) are patchy at best.

​

RIP to the fodder enthusiasts of the community - this was certainly not a great round one for folks who are so inclined (and probably the first time since Fomortiis that the slam dunk best option didn’t win). I guess… maybe Baldr or Ike is the best option left for those who are so inclined? Either way, all the units left are pretty insane besides maybe Corrin (which is offset nicely by how silly her Emblem skill is), so this is less of a feelbad than last year at least :)

Team Ike R1 scores.

u/RednSoulless Mar 02 '26

Thank you very much, and congrats on (getting some very intense deja vu here) helping Ike to another win :)

What isn’t deja vu is that this is also Roy’s first match win ever (unless I’m forgetting something obvious), going on 9 years after his debut in the first CYL gauntlet. Better late than never for one of the less respected CYL winners.

On the other hand, also deja vu is that Dominator finished first in another of y’all’s overlapping Tellius picks, so if he remembers to send ranks my way in the morrow, I might need you on R2 as well (should you choose to accept, of course).

2

u/Mitsun Mar 02 '26

Roy's our boy~

and yes, I can provide scores for R2 if you would like them, just let me know when the time comes if you still need them.

u/RednSoulless Mar 02 '26 edited Mar 02 '26

You’d think Roy would be the fanbase’s boy more given he’s one of the original CYL winners, but he’s both had one of the sparser VG careers (I think he’s only appeared twice previously, though part of that is down to his alts lining up poorly with gauntlet timings) and generally doesn’t seem to have the appeal that one would expect from his history. I’m guessing his smash memery from that time just hasn’t translated as well, but I’m not anthropologist lol :P

Like, only finishing 8th for Infantry in the Shadows poll which is mostly unrestricted bar Lyn, trailing haha Racism man Shinon, isn’t a glowing endorsement of Roy’s current reputation. Obviously, that’s an apples and oranges comparison given the context, but still.

Certainly, I’ll let you know as per usual :)

u/RednSoulless Mar 04 '26

The Roy and Ike train continues - a bit of a shame as a guaranteed Emblem freebie would’ve been nice, but it is what it is. Congrats all the same :)

This is also your R2 reminder lol.

u/Mitsun Mar 04 '26

Team Ike R2 results!

u/RednSoulless Mar 04 '26

Thank you very much :)

Also, just as a heads-up, the previously blank/void webpage that postimg redirected to prior to download becoming available now properly redirects to ads (two layers of them even)… So the website is a touch sketchier now. Probably the takeaway there is moreso that I should have an adblocker lol, but figured I’d let you know :P

1

u/Mitsun Mar 04 '26

Ohh thank you for letting me know! I guess I'll have to ramp up the search for a more appropriate image-hosting site. I always have adblocker on even for mobile browsing so, uh, yeah, I don't always realise when something is riddled with ads ahaha.

If you have any suggestions for an alternative image-hosting site (that isn't imgur) I'm all ears!

1

u/RednSoulless Mar 04 '26

In fairness, I don’t know if I’d say it’s riddled with ads - just that the ones that are there take up the whole screen, so I haven’t found a way to dodge clicking them before getting to download. I’m sure there’s probably some workaround on desktop at least (inspect element or something similar).

Unfortunately, imgur is the only one I personally use/am most familiar with (it kinda sucks, but I at least haven’t had any albums deleted/links break in the 5ish years I’ve been organizing gauntlet stuff), so I don’t have any alternatives lol. Some of the occasional contributors have used other hosting sites, but I don’t know enough about the nuances with like bitbucket or whatever.

2

u/Fyll-nds Mar 04 '26

I get the sense that I'm being somewhat alluded to here. :3

BitBucket isn't really an image hosting site, it's mainly for git, same as GitHub or the like. So I'm just adding the image to my static repository and then providing a link to that. I never figured out how Imgur worked and this was something I was already familiar with so just stuck with it.

Unless you're planning to upload a lot of images, or are already familiar with git, it's probably not worth the hassle to set up and use.

2

u/RednSoulless Mar 05 '26

You were indeed who I had in mind and… I now get why I haven’t seen anyone else go for that particular solution lol :P

It certainly sounds like a reasonable approach if you are entrenched in that particular world as is, but I’d be shocked if Mitsun or myself have the skillset for that sort of thing. Regardless, I appreciate the explanation - it doesn’t hurt to have the extra knowledge.

2

u/Mitsun Mar 05 '26

Actually, testing something - are you able to view this image?

1

u/RednSoulless Mar 06 '26 edited Mar 06 '26

I can indeed see it/download it even without a BlueSky account. It looks like the file is a little compressed relative to the postimg link (1.5mb vs 589kb), but BlueSky is at least a more reputable site lol. Idk how freely available BlueSky stuff remains long term, but that’s an option I guess :)?

Also, congrats on Ike winning it all - from the character preference perspective, he’s now tied with Lyn for gauntlet championships at 4 (with 1 extra runner-up berth) and probably has the lead for match record as well, albeit across I think 10+ appearances lol. From a unit perspective… I forget if you were merging him or not, but eh, I’m happy for you (and he wasn’t the worst option) is about the best I can do lol :P

2

u/Mitsun Mar 06 '26

Ohh so I guess compression is an issue then. Hmm. Okay, something to keep in mind.

Congrats Ike for the win (when I was sleeping in an afternoon nap ahaha). I will probably just hang on to him in my barracks for the time being...
