I remember somebody was PMing me about that… and I directed him/her to GoAnderson.
/me pokes GA. -

That would probabley be okay. Anime Master contacted me about the comic book one and hes running it now.

so is there any specific person that i should ask about this or can any admin give it the ok? and whoever it is that decides let me know when its fine and ill start it up.

Hey I like that idea. But would it be just manga/anime characters or also cartoon/comic charaters? I think it would be cool to have all of them in it and to see manga/anime-only fans take it out with cartoon/comic-only fans. Of course if it happens civilized like it was the case with the Sanji vs. Franky battle.
Oh me gets excited already. I hope that this is doable. :steve:
-
well the comic book one was already made. i guess some cartoons could be thrown in. with this i will make the matches random and i will just say NO ONE PIECE OR or people from like dc,marvel,etc. that was for the one made by anime master. i will make it the same size as the one piece one so i will take 64 noniminees. i will explain all this again and more when i make the nominaton thread.
oh and yay Ivotas for the support :party:
oh again and if anyone has any suggestions please tell me them. post them right here in this topic or if youd rather not pm them to me.
-
Well yeah as I said I´d like the idea, but do I understand that correctly that you won´t let DC/Marvel characters enter? That´s bitter because a Batman vs. Goku fight would surely be fun when anime/manga-only fans take it out with cartoon/comic-only fans.
I doubt that people will nominate just DC/Marvel characters so I think they should be included. As much as I love them, I already know that I won´t nominate one of them but if would still be fun to have the one or the other of them among the participants. :steve:
-
ok well if its allowed since there already is a tournament for those characters i guess we could have SOME i don't want it to be loaded with them. BUT NO AMERICAN CARTOON CHARACTERS. i dispise them all. and i just hope at least theres one transformers nominee . and you like that steve don' you ivotas?
-
But do you really think that the tournament is objective if characters that you don´t like are excluded? I mean this is a popularity contest and people should enter who they want to otherwise the purpose of a popularity contest is ruined.
I mean you´re already manipulating it if you don´t want to have characters in it that you don´t like. You should vote against them and hope for them to get eliminated if but not exclude them before hand. It ruins the fun of having them all together in there.
Oh and by the way, my nominee would be a american cartoon character. :laugh:
PS: Yep I love that steve smiley. And just to post it one more time I´ll include a fitting message. "Come on! Let the american cartoon characters join too!" :steve:

. . . . Why me? All I do is write some stuff for a OP tourney. Suddenly I'm an authority? :wacko:
Whatever. I really don't care. You can go ahead if you like. Hell, I'd even be willing to write some summaries every now-and-then, if you give me a rundown of the contestants' powers. Every now-and-then, though; I'm a lazy bastard. =D
Hmm… But what would we do about characters like, say, Goku and Vegeta? They're obviously so RIDICULOUSLY OVERPOWERED that I doubt even a genius could figure out a way for anyone else to beat them, rationally. Yu Yu Hakusho characters also would fit in here, to a degree. Those are the two I'm most worried about... And the obvious mismatches. ((thinks of Kon vs. Piccolo))
... I don't know. I'm just worried about the DBZ characters being too powerful. Maybe restrict it to original DB characters, only? YYH characters are less of a bother.
But, whatever. "Go ahead," is the point of this rambling.

You know, I´m really surprised to hear these worries coming from you of all people. Don´t you always say that the character tournaments are popularity based when someone says something like "Whitebeard would whoop ShuShu´s ass"?
I mean if this is popularity based Goku´s or Vegeta´s power levels shouldn´t be any bother. Well to me at least.

Cause you're taking care of OP tourney. :P I thought you'd be the best one to ask for new game.

I was being realistic. What I was saying was, say, putting Vegeta up against… Hinata Hyuuga from Naruto. Chances are people would be voting for the powerhouse, rather than the cute, demure type. That could lead to a lopsided win for Vegeta.
ON THE OTHER HAND, if people wanted to spite DBZ, and voted against Vegeta, then the person writing the battle's end would be in a dilemma, right? How could Hinata of all people beat VEGETA, who can blow up planets with his pinky? That would step outside the realm of reason, and into absurdity. It's pretty dang hard, I think, figuring out a battle like... anything having to do with Hattori. I know I screwed up there, during his battles, possibly because it was infathomable to me that a pidgeon could beat Foxy, or even Miss Valentine. I choked, I came up with some sorta pigeon kempo or something. WTF? Even I'm questioning that. And the Croc-Hattori battle was handled badly by me, as well...
... My point, if you don't want to read that rambling, is that a lopsided battle of power will inevitably lead to troubles in matching the battle within reason. DBZ's characters are so far above the norm that any fight, save with another DBZ character, will lead to complications that any writer would have to deal with.
( With "writer" I don't mean those authors who type with such eloquence as "OMG EYE KIK U" and "EYE THRO FIREBAL @ U" (to quote a few examples from Kabuto) during their writing sessions. The self-insertions at FF.net are generally low-quality, from what I've seen -- and heard. Those types can insert the biggest plot twist in history in one of their stories, and no one would be able to comprehend it. THAT kind of writer for these tourneys isn't the best idea. )
Um... As to the "popularity rules" thing, yeah, that's how it'd work ideally. But, every battle, we come up with a few who disregard the big sign saying "POPULARITY BASED!!!" and voted anyway. I wish I could just give those people a nice backhand of knowledge (copyright Zio)
... I think that was it. o.o Sorry for the rambling, Ivotas.
@ ocean: Ehh... I can understand that, I guess. I'm just new to these things, is all. SuNa would be the better one to ask... if he had a computer. :wacko: So, yeah, I suppose I was the next-best choice.

I completely understand what you´re saying and I´m not even disagreeing with it.
However if the only problem tends to be the battle discription then it should probably be left out. I don´t mean to offend you because I like those fight discriptions but the question is actually on what is more important, the popularity contest itself or the description of a fight. To me at least the tournament itself matters. Please don´t misunderstand that, but if we can have such great posts like it was during the Sanji vs. Franky fight, then I actually don´t care for a description at the end at all.
Of course it is nice to have it but it´s not a essential part. Just my opinion. And to even make sure that people get that this is popularity based maybe it would be helpful to twist the name a little. Instead of calling it "Grand Anime/Cartoon/Comic/Manga Character Tournament" it could be named "Grand Anime/Cartoon/Comic/Manga Character Popularity Contest". Just an idea. I think that it is worth a try. :steve:
And don´t worry about the rambling.
-
GoAnderson, i think you handle in a great way these tournaments. it's not that important if you screw some final blows sometimes IMO.
also if the powerhouse characters as goku or gohan are a bother for you, wouldn't it be possible that you or/and other users become mods of the tournament and filter the characters. i mean, let people decide who they want to have in the battle and if you judge some character is too/not enough strong and won't be interesting, just wipe him, you'd be an almighty mod after all. in the end, everything would end the right way i think.
-
I could offer to make images for this one too…. but that is a lot of matches. So, this is my official "offer", but I can't really guarentee I could get one up for every single fight. =)
-
ya thanks irresistiblement i was thinking of asking you to do it since you seem to get good images. but if you can't get some its cool i can do it but like goanderson im lazy. and ivotas this was intended to be an anime/manga tournament but since you want american chars and comic chars im gonna have to put a limit. and i would let sasuke be nominated even though i hate him more then anything. same is someone wants to nominate kanada.
oh i can handle the summaries unless theres one you really wanna do or one i couldn't if my life depended on it.
THE NOMINATION THREAD HAS BEEN MADE ALONG WITH THE DETAILS IN THE OTHER ANIME/MANGA FORUM.
-
Well ok then I guess I´ll pass the tournament out. No offense but this tournament is too biased from the begining for my taste.
-
ummmmmmmm what biased?
and i doubt that many american characters will be nominated anyway but i see no reason to put a limit unless thats all there is. so i have removed the limit so nominate anyone you want other then one piece
-
You don´t have to change that restriction just for me. If you intended it as a just anime/manga character tournament then it´s ok. It´s your tournament not mine. Don´t want to force what I consider as a good idea on you since it is all a matter of different opinions. You should do the tournament as you like.
-
i know i know but i just want people to be happy and make it work and i figure theres gotta be more people that think the same as you and i don't care that much. and you didn't answer my question. what biased?
-
Well I think having the wording "I hate everything…" determines what I call biased. At least it is lacking a certain degree of objectivity by my book. But as I said, since you intended for it to be a anime/manga tournament from the begining it is ok I guess.
