Welcome to the Ultimate Character Showdown Main Discussion Thread!


A place for overall tournament discussion (please keep specific character v. character chat to their individual threads!), predictions and also mainly for me to keep track of the competition as it goes on. I'll be updating this OP with links to the individual polls, posting winners/losers, and anything else of interest.

The polls will be posted at approximately 6pm GMT/2pm EST every day and they will be up for 24 hours. So make sure you get your votes in before they close!

We have about 2 hours until the first two polls will go up, so - who do you think is going to win? Who do you want to win?

There are still prizes up for grabs - again, participation nets you more entries as always, so get involved! As a reminder, the prize is any Steam game of your choice (or, as I worked out with fat_moogle, an Amazon gift voucher where Steam is not an option) up to a value of $30!

I'll be back in a few hours for the first polls - but let me wish the best of luck to all the characters nominated!
