TPWW Character Battle Royale

[Ermaximus]

I've seen these done before on sites like gamefaqs, or maybe it was IGN? Either way, those things are usually always biased and end with the same 3 lame characters winning. I am proposing we here at TPWW make our own version of this, but I want input first before attempting or wasting time doing so. Firstly, would anyone be interested in this type of thing and if so, which game characters should we enter? How many? Simple questions like this. Just post here your thoughts please and thank you.

[DaveBrawl]

Samus Aran
Mega Man
Mario

Top 3.

See I'd want to be different though. Break it down into smaller sub categories. Have preliminary qualifiers from each genre and say the top 4 from each prelim move on. Maybe have 15 characters from each genre of gaming in each prelim? We vote for said period of time, then the top 4 move to the next round, and we start our brackets to declare the overall most popular video game character on TPWW.

I've done something like this. People won't care. But who cares, go for it.

Ok I see what you're getting at. It sounds like it could be interesting, but like Kaylx said you probably won't get much support, but you will likely get enough to continue.

That being said Link will probably still win, he always seems to.

Let's break down our prelims then Kalyx. I'm thinking we should have an FPS group, an RTS group, an action/adventure group, an RPG group, a fighting group, and an Exclusives group. That would give us a 24 character start to run with.

[DaveBrawl]

You would need to add a few more to get it up to 32 to break it down evenly in the later rounds.

[The Jayman]

sports and old school

Yea I was shooting for 32 then have the top 2 from each bracket move to the next round and so on. I just don't want to have gay shit like "l-block" from Tetris which for some odd reason always manages to beat characters like Gordon Freeman and Falco. Shit irks me so much.

[Kalyx triaD]

What the Hell goes on at these things for a Tetris block to win.

[DaveBrawl]

That must be from the nostalgia division, I imagine it beats out the pong ball and Galaga space ship on it's way to victory.

Beats me. Either the stupid thing is that popular or people are that dumb.

[El Fangel]

You could possibly have about 20 nominations for each of several dozen genres (Sports, Wrestling, FPS, Action, Adventure) and system (all of them)

See I originally thought about doing that. Have 3 categories devoted solely to exclusive characters, but that'd take from other categories as well. Let me open a blank word document and make a mock list and see what you guys think.

[The Jayman]

I do like the idea Ermax. get it going

I'm pretty sure it's planned on those "1337" type website where everyone acts like an ass to everyone else because they have self esteem issue in reality.
I'm sure they tried to get Bubble & Bobble to win some character battle or other "for teh lulz".

but yeah, I'd be up for a TPWW character battle. We do similair things in other parts of the forum and they go on for 100's of threads so a 32 character battle shouldn't be a stretch.

[The Jayman]

here's my list so far

FPS
1. Capt. Price (CoD MW & MW2)
2. Duke Nukem
3. Master Chief (Halo series)
4. James Bond (007 series)

Action/Adventure
1. Lara Croft (Tomb Raider)
2. Ryu Hayabusa (Ninja Gaiden series)
3. Link (Zelda series)
4. Nathan Drake (Uncharted 1&2)

Fighting
1. Ryu (Street Fighter series)
2. Sub Zero (Mortal Kombat)
3. Kazuya Mishima (Tekken series)
4. Akuma (SF series)

[Kalyx triaD]

Are those the official genres so far?

[El Fangel]

I think having a top 10 most badass game character contest would be awesome as well.

[The Jayman]

I just built my list off the most mentioned genres

[The Jayman]

I think having a top 10 most badass game character contest would be awesome as well.

[El Fangel]

Action, Shooter, Action-Adventure, Adventure, RP, Hack N' Slash, Beat Em' Up, Fighting Game, MMORPG, Platform, Racing, RTS, SPorts, Survival Horror

[El Fangel]

Those are the genres I would use, if you need a description of any, I would explain it for you.

[El Fangel]

Actually, going to make the thread for badass character nominations.

[The Jayman]

Hack N Slash?

[Ermaximus]

Ok so I'm thinking for categories we do Nintendo, Microsoft, Sony, Shooter, RPG, Fighting, Action/Adventure, and Badass Babes. Sound good? Yay or nay?

[El Fangel]

Hack N Slash?

Baldurs Gate, Champions of Norrath, Diablo

[The Jayman]

Yay

[El Fangel]

Games that you will press a single attack button for hours, but it still insanely fun.

Somehow.

Gauntlet comes to mind

[Kalyx triaD]

I think 'Hack n slash' should be renamed "Dungeon Crawler" based on your definition.

[OssMan]

Jack from 3D World Runner
Jack from Madworld
Lickle from Little Samson
Proto Man
Simon Belmont
MAPPY

[Splaya]

I'm fine with all those lists

[OssMan]

uh YOSHI durr

all the Nintendo "exclusives" are all in super smash brothers but you can add Lucas if you want, nobody gives a shit about Pit

Dunno. What about Cecil Harvey. All my favorites are excluded because I play games that nobody remembers anymore.

VALKYRIE LENNETH for RPG?????

and Aya Brea from Parastive Eve for the girls thing. Even though she could go in RPG but yeah. Actually Valkyrie could be in that too

[Splaya]

Actually take out Tidus and put in Kuja. I could not stand that whiney penis

Done and done. Took Peach out cuz she is a whore and isn't worthy of the title badass IMO. All she does well is get herself kidnapped by Bowser.

[Ermaximus]

Ok, gonna start with prelim #1 tomorrow night. Prelims will last 24 hours and the top 4 from each prelim will go to the main contest. In the event of a tie, the characters who tie will have a character against character battle lasting 1 hour. Whoever gets the most votes then moves on and the rest get deleted off the master list. Kalyx, and Jayman, I may need you 2 to be my other judges on this.

[Kalyx triaD]

I'm down, but what duties would befall a judge?

[Ermaximus]

Basically, if I am unable to post a new prelim bracket, 1 of you 2 would post it. Also I need all 3 of us to take down who the winners of each bracket are to make sure we get the correct participants into the contest. If you have specific questions, just pm me.

[The Jayman]

I think I got it

[Kalyx triaD]

Okay.
