The Best Hero Tournament (Official discussions thread)

[LunarWeaver]

Please for the love of Ganoogle let the Xenosaga characters actually make it at least halfway before crappier characters swallow them whole.

And don't Link win, he doesn't even talk. I like his green hat too but c'mon. He has a fairy that never shuts up don't vote for him.

[Agent Proto]

Anyway, just to let you guys know, after each round, all the threads will be merged into this thread. Before the threads get merged, I will post the results of each poll so you can further discuss the results. And let's not forget that Behold the Void will be writing some fights for several match-ups in each bracket, so look forward to those.

I'm kinda sad that there are no Silent Hill characters...

but I know why, cuz Heather would win everything hands down!!1111!!!111111111111.

Either her or Angela, or Maria, or Harry, or James, or Cybill or ...

Why are there no Silent Hill characters >:o

EDIT:

Wait, I missed two brackets.

Still no Heather though >:o

[Medi]

There, I finally voted in all of them. It was pretty fun

[Rengori]

Will there be a best villian tournament any time soon?

[Agent Proto]

I ran that last year. The winner was Kefka.

[Rengori]

Figures.

[Zeromus_X]

lol, it does.

It's disappointing that Lenneth is losing, but like BM said, it isn't surprising...

Ramza should be screaming his way to victory, and Claude should be tearing the enemy into pieces. Although it seems Cless will lose to X-2 Yuna, unfortunately. I'd probably vote for X Yuna, but eh...

Is this the second of these 'character tournaments' or have there been more? (Besides the Villain one you mentioned.)

[drunkymonkey]

I'm surprised that Manny from Grim Fandango isn't doing that well.

[Moon Rabbits]

I'm surprised that Manny from Grim Fandango isn't doing that well.

Me too >:O VOTE MANNY.

[drunkymonkey]

I'm surprised that Manny from Grim Fandango isn't doing that well.

Me too >:O VOTE MANNY.

Manny FTW! And Guybrush too! We can't lose!

[Agent Proto]

Alright, under certain circumstances, I will be making several changes to the tournament. Seeing that we will have half of 128 characters remaining with 64, I will be making four new brackets. What this means is that we will not have polls after this round.

Once this round is over, all the threads will be merged with this. So this thread will have many more posts. I will do my best to keep things clean in the future. This means that voting will be done by PMs similar to the Screen Name tournaments. Look forward to that.

Meanwhile, continue to look forward to future battles written by Behold the Void.

I can't wait until the later half of the tournament where we could see some good match-ups.

[Jimmy Dark Aeons Slayer]
