LeeAndrew Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 I'm probably in the minority in some of these but oh well i'll throw them out there... Billy & Jimmy Lee (Double Dragon) Abobo (Double Dragon) Bald Bull (Mike Tyson's Punch Out) Vincent Valentine (Final Fantasy VII) Sonic the Hedgehog (Sonic the Hedgehog) Conker (Conker's Bad Fur Day) Star Man (Pro Wrestling) Shadow (Final Fantasy 6) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted April 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 Love the old school suggestions, Lee! Tyson almost made my original list. Dude was a badass for sure! As for Sonic... I don't know. He's cool and has attitude, but I just don't see him as a badass. Can you make a case for him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyre Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 Shadow (Final Fantasy 6) I forgot about that guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeAndrew Posted April 30, 2006 Report Share Posted April 30, 2006 Love the old school suggestions, Lee! Tyson almost made my original list. Dude was a badass for sure! As for Sonic... I don't know. He's cool and has attitude, but I just don't see him as a badass. Can you make a case for him? Yeah you're right, I guess Sonic is just cool, not badass. After all in the underwater boards he had to get to those bubbles to breathe and even Mario and Luigi could hold their breath underwater! So he can't be all that badass. I thought about Tyson too, but I thought i'd stay away from real people because then I would have to name people like Bo Jackson and Chris Benoit and an endless list of athletes from sports games which would probably just bore everybody.

Mr. Keith Posted April 30, 2006 Report Share Posted April 30, 2006 I can't tell who all has been mentioned, but here's a list of people I think haven't been... Wesker or Leon Kennedy(Resident Evil series) Kain(FFIV) Ramirez(Skies of Arcadia) Soma Cruz(Castlevania series) I'm sure I'll come up with a couple others if need be, but most of the good ones have already been mentioned.

Mr. Keith Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 So what's the news on this? Not trying to be pushy about it, just curious if there's any updates on when this will be happening or what needs to be done to make it happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted May 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 The list has been narrowed down to 38. Another update will be posted once I'm down to 32. (Some of these cuts are hard!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted May 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 Well, that was quicker than expected! (Basically, I had to get brutal with some cuts. But whatever. We're down to 32, and that's what counts.) Over the next few days I will construct the brackets, and, if all goes as planned, the tournament will begin on Monday, May 22.

Missy Posted May 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 After further consideration, two polls will begin Wednesday... as in tomorrow! And then two on Friday, and Monday, and Wednesday... and you get the pattern, until the 32 participants have been narrowed down to 16. Each poll will remain open for seven days. In the event of a tie, polls will remain open for additional 12-hour blocks. (Meaning, if after 12 hours there's still a tie, another 12 hours will be tacked on.) Remember, these are not fights. Characters with godlike powers would trounce their human competition way too easily. What you are voting on is who the bigger badass is, taking into consideration their previous battles, deeds (both good and evil), attitude, image (yeah, it might sound silly, but hey, a badass must look the part), etc. Oh, and for the record, the brackets were determined by random draw. The two polls which will kick this off are: - Ganon / Ganondorf (The Legend of Zelda) v Kain (Legacy of Kain) - Soma Cruz (Castlevania) v Demitri Maximoff (Darkstalkers) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far looks like I was wrong in thinking Demitri would take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then two on Friday, and Monday, and Wednesday... and you get the pattern, until the 32 participants have been narrowed down to 16. Forget the quoted statement; excluding weekends, first-round polls will open daily. So unless there's a tie, we should be narrowed down to 16 by Thursday, June 01. Today's two polls are: - Solid Snake (Metal Gear Solid) v Master Chief (Halo) - Mitsurugi (Soul Calibur) v Alucard (Castlevania) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
