After the event is over, I'd love to hear what everyone's strategies are for solving these mirrors, or even if people would have tips to share for the next fair!
I've been attempting to use character lists to help, but even with the help of pictures, my guessing skills are pretty bad - currently on a 0/3 streak. This is my first fair so I'm not expecting too much, but it would be nice if I could solve at least one correctly...

i posted my strategy a few pages ago (in spoiler so people dont have to go searching) -- but it only really works when colours are preserved!
i think both the 1st and 3rd nightmares were hard but not super unfair or impossible (no comment on the 2nd one though, i just. could not even see the outline in that one orz)
but for both those nightmares i had a pretty similar approach, so maybe this will help some of you get tickets?
i tried not to focus on the details too much but more the colours and silhouettes (since, for both of those nightmares, the original colours were still somewhat intact and the general shape was there):
i would also just rotate and flip my canvas around for a bunch of different options that might make sense.
for nightmare #3 i didn't actually know who farley was at all! didn't even know he existed, but "gnome-ish character with a big white beard, a staff, and a blue hat" was something i thought could be plausible, so i kept that thumbnail. i definitely couldn't recognize it off memory, so i guessed it was probably someone i don't know.
the hard part was definitely looking for a character whose render fit properly! i went through the smash bros. assist trophies and kirby character list (there's also lists for mario and other franchises, but i felt like they wouldn't fit as well)... and then tried looking at the list of special animal crossing characters eventually.
it took me about 2 hours to figure it out, but it helps that they tend to use official or common renders of the characters.
i'm pretty fond of puzzles, and definitely don't mind digging through 50 character lists to solve something, so i'm not sure if other people would be willing to sift through that much or not. 'w');;; to each their own
( i'm not sure if talking about strategies for the nightmares are allowed or not, so i can delete this if it's not okay 'w');; )
i think my other strategy is... trying to see the silhouette or features of it, and then trying to figure out the game by process of elimination (like... if the character looks super round or weirdly shaped it wouldn't be in like fire emblem or something, maybe animal crossing or kirby, and vice versa) 'w')b
the pictures they use are always like a common render so you should be able to find a pretty close match (they just might rotate it or something)
