Ultimate Final Fantasy Character Tournament

[scifi1980]

Ive been meaning to join a FF forum for months, but never got around to it. Always had something else distracting me whether it be work, talking on the wrestling forums, or anime forums. Anyway I signed up yesterday and am liking this place alot. Lot's of good topics and it's nice to see that every FF game gets it's dues here. Not just another FF 7 love in.


Recently I came up with a desire to hold the end be all of Final Fantasy character battles. I tried this concept at Animenation but that fell flat. That was when I decided it's high time to run with a Final Fantasy crowd on a FF forum not an Anime forum with passing interest in FF.


I felt inspired enough to start up a single elimination tournament featuring nearly all the main characters of Final Fantasy 1-12 (excluding 11), X-2 and Tactics. Ive seeded the participants so no two people from the same game will face eachother in the first round and just for the sake of arguement im calling the brackets North, East, West and South. Each bracket holds 32 characters!!! So I don't know how long it will take. But im up for it.


Simple rules. One on one single elimination, and the voting increases by 1 with each round so it goes like this:


Round 1: 3 votes
Round 2: 4 votes
Round 3: 5 votes
Round 4: 6 votes
Round 5: 7 votes
Round 6: 8 votes
Round 7: 24 hour vote period


I will refrain from voting and just be a referee. Although I might step in if the tournament stagnates.



Im a rookie at this forum, if it's in the wrong place be my guest and have it moved. I figured that since this is the genral FF section and there seems to be a clump of various FF game topics this one should fit in here there's some other polls here so I wouldn't think it's a big deal. Didn't see a section made specifically for polls/games/battles, but I wouldn't be suprised if im wrong.


Basically who's the best or most popular of the almost entire main cast. Votes can be based on: Best character design, best personality best overall character, best skills, most useful in battle or most powerful. Everybody has their opinion on what makes a character the best so it will be interesting to see how they conflict. So with the ground work in place. Let's get this shindig started!!!


Oh yeah. Almost all the character descriptions are "borrowed from Wikipedia.
