Art donated by their respective creators. Please reference earlier tracks, there are too many names and not enough space in this description for them all. Bracket design made by San_KA#9984.

A little over seven months ago, we revealed our first contestant and officially began Exhibition Gallery. And today, we are here to finally begin the bracket. Thank you for everyone that supported us, it's going to be a fun ride...

MR. SATURDAY VS. NEON J
THE NUMBER ONES VS. THE WARDEN
DELILAH "MOM" DETAILS VS. CROISSANT COOKIE
PROFESSOR HENRY HIDGENS VS. STUPENDIGUY
JAMBASTION VS. COPY THAT, COPYCATS!
PEARL HOUZUKI VS. BABY HOTLINE MIAMI
EDDY, THE ULTIMATE SCAM ARTIST VS. DK RAPPER
BRIAN DAVID GILBERT VS. HALF OF A LIFETIME

Sidenote, a few contestants have received some final buffs before the bracket proper!
The Number Ones no longer have their cartoony villains restriction.
Copy That, Copycats! now get Earthbound-inspired games in addition to their bullet hells source.
Pearl Houzuki now gets J-Pop, as her voice actor is in a J-Pop...and Alternative Rock band, so sidenote to people who complained that source didn't fit her, yes it did.

Uh-oh! It seems that in the midst of a heated Halloween rant, Brian accidentally fell back into the painting of one Another Unnecessary Tournament! Luckily he seems to be in good company, having found a small girl having taken a break from another Halloween party! But that does raise the question...just what was his rant going to finish with?

Collab! [05] | [04]- Stupendiguy | Brian David Gilbert

Even outside of Polygon, theorizing is still in Brian's blood, as during a night of speculation over The G.A.L.L.E.R.Y.'s potentials secrets, he found a guest in the form of Stupendiguy. Despite his initial hesitance, the two of them eventually got into a long discussion over the Fall Guys world, much to Stupes's delight. Wonder what conclusions they ended up arriving at...
