Here's how it'll work (aka how we did it in another forum I used to go to years ago):

1 - You guys pick the characters you want represented, once we've decided on how many we want. Depending on that number, there will be a cap on how many you can pick from one game/franchise, in order to have a fair spread of characters.
2 - Using a random number generator, we'll pair the characters off against each other and build a bracket. I've seen instances where this is shared with the members, but in those instances tactical voting ensued so certain characters would end up beating others so they could progress onto a more anticipated matchup, so..we might not share this with you. Not sure.
3 - The fun bit. A sub-forum will be created, and poll threads created for each matchup. You will have a set amount of time to vote on who you'd think would win, and you'll also be able to discuss the match taking place. The character with the most votes at the end of the time period wins and progresses to the next round, at which point the thread is closed. This continues until we have a winner.

So there we go. Before we get started, I have one question for you that I'd like answering: 32 competitors, or 64? 32 will ensure a shorter competition by one round, as it'd go 32-16-8-4-2-1, but 64 will let you get more characters in. You should notice a poll at the top for this, so please drop your choice in there.

Ta!

I went for 32; I can potential in continuing this if this first run becomes successful.

Should I assume we're going to create a new thread for character suggestions?

Might be for the best, yeah.

We'll hold off on that until a decision has been made regarding how many we'll actually be putting in :P

Going to close this poll in the next day or two so we can start cracking on with character selections in January, with a likely start date for the Battle in February, so if you haven't decided yet, now would be a good time :)

Why do I sense Kaito-Kun rallying up support for the 64 option? XD

The more the merrier, imo.

Possibly. But only because I'd rather not see the nomination list filled with the predictable SEGA cast.

I don't think I'll be voting on this poll, but if I was going to I'd be more tempted by the 64 option so we can get more characters in, and therefore offer a bit of a better competition.
