Character Contest

I've been overlooking the brackets for the "best villain ever" contest at GameFAQs in May, and I decided that we could do a similar thing. With Shaggy's permission (of course) we could set up a similar thing - polls to see who advances to the next round etc. etc. etc. I'll draw up the brackets if you guys help supply some characters.

How about it, Shaggy?

Sounds like a nice idea

I remember when GameFAQs had a contest like that for the best game ever, FFVII won with Chrono Trigger as second

Oh yeah. Zerlina's fitting right in here, judging from her last post.

All I wanted was some confirmation - I've seen some people get pretty testy when you do something they don't want on their message boards.

Now, anyone have any ideas? We'll start in May and go parallel to the GameFAQs battle (which I strongly recommend you all participate in as well) but we'll need some characters to make a bracket. I'll fill in any holes in the bracket when we start.

So, what characters do you want to see participate in this thing?

Not really sure what this is all about. Can you feel me in a little more?

Alright, let me try and explain it. You know in an elimination tournament, where two people go up against each other? The loser is knocked out and the winner goes on to the next round. Basically we vote on who should go on to the next round and the winner gets to go on to another poll later on. Every day we'll have another match-up. All I need is for a few FF characters people want to see in the tournament.

EDIT: Just realized - this is post 200 for me! Awesome!

Ok, what are we voting on? What types of characters will there be?

Hm... I guess we just put in all the characters we want to see compete and vote on who our favorite is. You can really put in anyone - character, villain, summon, monster, whatever you want. You can put as many as you want to see in when you post, but you can't fill up the entire bracket in one post, I just won't allow it. The contest will start May 1st, which should give us enough time to get characters and give me enough time to make up the brackets.

I may try to divide up the 32 characters that will be competing into groups of eight similar characters to make "divisions" - that way we can see what the most-liked character in each division is so you don't feel too bad if it loses afterwards (Example: The Summon Division would include Ifrit and Shiva, and if Ifrit won the Summon Division and was beaten by, say, a Chocobo from the Creature Division you know Ifrit is still the most-liked summon).

Oh, and no obscure things (such as a random monster that isn't a boss or well-known throughout the series) will get into it, just because I don't want to have to find out any information about them (Example: Bomb is okay, Stilva from Gaea's Cliffs in FF7 is not).

Oh, I am DEFINITELY going to have to remember where that emoticon came from, Spiff.

So give me some suggestions. I'll put in characters of my own choosing if we don't have enough when the time comes.

EDIT: On second thought, you can PM me the suggestions. That way nobody knows whether or not their character gets in until the bracket is made and nobody can complain.

So, 4 divisions, what were you thinking in particular? A summon division, a monster division, a character division and villain division?
