Evilshy 5,090 March 3, 2012 Share March 3, 2012 The kratos vs master chief thread gave me an idea; a tournament of sorts. Nominate characters from whatever you want. Games, comics, movies, books, manga, whatever the hell you want. Then, I'll use an RNG to determine matches, and post the bracket. Each match up will have it's own thread (with poll) and people will debate and vote on who would win in a fight. The rules of the fight will be posted in each thread, and some will be tailored to the contestants (an example would be two melee fighters would start closer to each other than two ranged fighters.) I will try not to place too many restrictions on characters to keep the battle as pure as possible, but some characters will need restrictions, and they will be listed in their threads. An exception will be speed. Speed will be scaled between universes. What this means is that if a character isn't known for being super fast in their own universe, they won't be in the fight, and vice versa. This is to prevent characters from universes that are naturally faster than others from winning before other characters can do anything. However, characters who are known for being fast (Flash, sonic) will still be super fast and can win by blitzing. Basically, take the average speed of the universe and look at how much faster the character in question is. So if character A was 60% faster than the average of his verse and character B was 90% faster than the average in his verse, B would be faster, even if A moves at 10000 MPH and B moves at 100 MPH. Characters with planet busting level powers (such as Goku) are discouraged, and characters with reality warping (Discord), or god-mod powers (Galactus) are banned. Immortal characters are considered defeated if they can be stopped from moving or some other sort of thing (sealed, stuck in something they can't break out of, warped to a different dimension, stuff like that.) Characters will have access to everything they've shown, unless certain forms/powers are mutually exclusive. In this case, they'll be at their most powerful. (example: pre and post suit Darth Vader are mutually exclusive. Pre suit Vader is more powerful, though, so that's how he would be). Characters in universes that have an expanded version are their expanded universe selves (an obvious example is star wars. Expanded universe palpatine is way more powerful than movie palpatine). Remember, this is a battle between characters, not universes. Characters can't call for backup or receive any help from their universes. Also, characters don't get any vehicles they may have driven, unless their power is based on that vehicle (which I can't think of any off the top of my head.) When you nominate, post a link to a page that has the characters powers on it (most wikis have these). Even if it's a well known character, some people might not know. Signature now 99% less edgy!

Discordian 6,015 March 3, 2012 Share March 3, 2012 An interesting concept indeed. If it's just a popularity contest then what would be the point of what their powers are? Or is the votes just to consider the outcome and someone will write out the entire battle out like in the Anime Insiders where they pit two anime characters together to battle?

Nah 3,182 March 3, 2012 Share March 3, 2012 (edited) Doc Brown and Marty McFly vs the Doctor and his assistant, sound good? Tardis vs DeLorean also. Edited March 3, 2012 by Darkshadow Dash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evilshy 5,090 March 3, 2012 Author Share March 3, 2012 I hope it doesn't end up a popularity contest. You vote for who you think you would win, not who you like more. Characters that win will move up until we have the last one standing. Doc Brown and Marty McFly vs the Doctor and his assistant, sound good? Tardis vs DeLorean also. Nominate characters, not potential battles. Signature now 99% less edgy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Discordian 6,015 March 3, 2012 Share March 3, 2012 You can try that all you want but gotta understand not everyone can understand the ramifications of the abilities certain characters have since they don't know them. I could list characters like Fisk from Better Days but in the end since he's not exactly a super-powered soldier or anything and not everyone has read the webcomic most people might choose the other person by default because they understand what he can do better or because they actually know him. A lot of votes will likely be just who they know or who's more popular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Discordian 6,015 March 3, 2012 Share March 3, 2012 Well I wish you luck, as long as you are aware of that. I just meant it as a cautionary measure, not trying to sound condescending. xD;; Still gonna have to go with Fisk as I said though for my nomination. There's no list of powers because he's technically just a normal person but he's still above the average person. I doubt he'll win at all but he might stand his ground in a few matches. Basically he's a soldier who does jobs around the world that the government wouldn't normally approve in the name of peace on Earth. You could consider him almost a super soldier with high privileges like Snake but without the nanotechnology. He's good at what he does and is one helluva gun fighter and sniper. He's also well trained in hand-to-hand combat as well as being very knowledgeable about the battle field. He's not invincible by any means though since he is still technically just a man. If it helps this is a link to the chapter in the webcomic explaining what he does on the job so you could kinda consider that something about his abilities. http://jaynaylor.com/betterdays/archives/chapter-21-fath/ Personally I think this would be a bit more fun if after the voting is done if someone volunteered to write up the battle with the voted outcome but that's just me.

Inactive01 5,299 March 3, 2012 Share March 3, 2012 A quick question: if we nominate the character, would we have to do the debating? If not, then I nominate Link of The Legend of Zelda series and Lucas from the Earthbound series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
