    As many of you know I has run more than a few tournaments over my time here. Well the time has come for another brawl for it all. This time though I thought I would throw the selection process out to you folks. So people, who do you wanna see leave their blood on the sand?

    80s cartoons vs 90s cartoons. Let's finally settle this*

    * Although we all know the 90s will dominate :pac:

    Um, Thundercats, Transformers, He-Man, Mask, Jayce and the Wheel Warriors, Brave Starr... what did the 90s have? Yu-gi-oh?

    (I'm not sure if the pac was for "90s will definitely win, take that!" or if that was sarcasm)

    Batman: TAS, X-Men, Animaniacs, Ren & Stimpy, Gargoyles.

    The pac was because I know it's a contentious issue.

    Goliath from Gargoyles fits my theme idea fairly well actually

    It'd be a tough one in terms of superheroes. Spiderman, Superman, The Hulk and a load of DC characters had big cartoons in both decades.

    Could actually be a theme for a whole tournament, but would get sticky doing a versus when it came down to the later rounds.

    Ewoks cartoon in the 80s means it's a certain flawless victory.

    Oh right, characters. I read it as looking for a theme.

    Some turtles characters could be fun and I don't remember them being a tourney before.
    Black Panther

    Oh, I just wanted to see who people want to see fighting it out. I am going to be avoiding the uber-powerful types this time around though.

    Ginger Snaps
    Wolfman
    Jason Voorhees
    Spike (Buffy The vampire Slayer)
    Faith (Same as Spike)
    Hellboy
    Black Panther
    Atomic Robo
    Cassandra Hack
    Xenomorph
    Ash Williams

    Monsters versus victims/slayers is about the only thing I can see. Xeno is very much the favourite for me.

    Would Guyver be too much for this? Seems like he'd fit in well. Or maybe one of the zoanoids.

    I thought I knew what it was (because you told me) but now I'm somewhat confused. I was kinda assuming it would be a bad guy only affair :)

    Good call on limiting to human-sized. Last thing we need is another Galactus debacle :)

    Not for this one, but for future, comic book characters vs video game might make an interesting one :)

    Guile should be in everything, really. Very few situations having him around wouldn't sort.
