Character Tournament, which would you like to see?

I'm going to be doing a video game character tournament for myself, just as a little fun project, and I was wondering which of these three options would be the best/most interesting/most fun way to go!

Note that only my favourite characters from each game will be used. It will be between 2 and 4 characters per game. So when I say characters, I mean my favourites, not every character from the game

Option 1: Random Drawing
Put all names in a hat, pick them out and make brackets

Option 2: By game
Start by doing brackets within each game until left with only 1 character per game. Then I can go by series until 1 is left per series. And then do a random drawing with the winners

Option 3: By group
Have different groups such as archer characters, characters from fighting games, black mage type characters, animal characters, etc. Do brackets until 1 is left in each group and then do a random drawing with the winners

Thanks for the help in deciding :jess:

I like option 2 the most; it's like doing regionals into nationals. Fight it out amongst yourselves before the big tournament! :D

I like option 3 because it's something you really don't see done normally. I'm curious how that will play out.

Option 2!

I'm personally against Option 2 because it's skewed against games that have multiple/many great characters. Option 3 sounds pretty neat, and probably makes direct comparisons that much easier - and to me it makes more sense to crop the not-so-good characters of the same kind rather than from the same game.

Well like I said, each game is going to have only 2 to 4 characters! But option 3 would certainly be interesting. There aren't really any not good characters to me though or they wouldnt be in the tournament!

I'll go with option 2. Sounds like the better one. :D

Follow up question!

Would you guys like to be able to vote or would you rather I just pick my favourites?

I don't mind the voting thing but it is hard to get participation with this stuff so I won't bother if no one is interested

I like voting so yes.

I'd say do your own thing.

I'd totally vote. And, option 3 so FFIX and/or Persona 3 can sweep the board! :roll:

Darn tie votes!

Well I should note that it'll still be a little while, but I already have 140+ character so I'm getting prepared ahead of time with intros and pics for them and stuff. But I want to finish my backlog before I put it up in case I have more characters to add!

I also wasn't expecting no one to go for Option 1!

Okay I'll leave voting open through the weekend. If it's option 2 I can start next week and if not it'll be a little while

Thanks for voting!

Options 2 and 3 work for me.

You should do the character voting yourself.

I honestly like Option 1. Makes it a much more even playing field.

Granted, it's nowhere near as fun.

Okay since we have a tie, I'm going to do it by game so that way I can start sooner! Also, for funsies, I'm going to do a combination of voting and deciding for myself. I'll leave voting open for 48 hours and if it's a tie or no one votes (which is entirely possible) I'll just decide on my own!

I'll post up the thread soon~
