    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?

    Samurai Pizza Cats. At least I know they're who I call when I want some pepperoni.

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

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


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 47,868 Mod ✭✭✭✭cyberwolf77


    maybe as an intermission match

    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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,746 ✭✭✭✭FewFew


    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

    Ewoks are not in this tournament


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,746 ✭✭✭✭FewFew


    Ewoks are not in this tournament

    And that's why we'll never know the true champion.

    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.

    My list of potential competitors so far:

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



    Anyone figure the theme yet?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,971 ✭✭✭Orim


    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.


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 47,868 Mod ✭✭✭✭cyberwolf77


    Doesn't go beyond human size and he could fit quite well here

    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 :)


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 47,868 Mod ✭✭✭✭cyberwolf77


    Now what fun would a party be without refreshments available

    Ghostrider is human-sized and he's caused problems before :)

    basically, no omega-level threats are gonna be in this one

    Ice cream marathon.


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 47,868 Mod ✭✭✭✭cyberwolf77


    I has added a few more wonderfully twisted folks to the party


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 25,872 Mod ✭✭✭✭Doctor DooM


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


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 47,868 Mod ✭✭✭✭cyberwolf77


    I know we had Guile in one.

    I like this idea,or have 3 different video game characters and have everyone vote for there favourite,similar to way they do it on gamefaqs.com.

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

    he doesn't really fit the theme for this one


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Music Moderators, Regional Midlands Moderators Posts: 24,163 Mod ✭✭✭✭Angron


    Guile's theme goes with everything.
