Game Ideas Wiki Character Tournament

Welcome to the Game Ideas Wiki Character Tournament. When I tried this last time, the wiki had users in small amount, plus I wasn't comitted to this idea like I am now.

The roster of the tournament will consist of characters only from video games (before saying some are from anime, they have been in video games!). Plus, there will even be some characters from Game Ideas on this wiki! A word of warning: the roster will be slightly heavily filled with Mario and Pokemon characters, but that's because the two series are filled with so many noteworthy additions.

This is how it will go. I will post four matchups in which users will be able to vote for the winner. After at least 5 votes (or a duration of a week), I will post the winner and four more matchups.

Tiki Tong VS Naruto

Votes and Comments go here.
Vote for which of the two characters you prefer or think would win. Type the name below and also leave a comment if you'd like.

Tiki Tong was an interesting boss of one of my favorite games, but the way he fights is very unoriginal. Plus, he can't compete with a main hero of a popular anime. My vote goes to Naruto. Beecanoe 23:55, February 7, 2012 (UTC)

Naruto would win, but I don't care much either way. Tiki Tong for the sake of argument, and because he is a Tiki. I like tikis. Genius "Busier than I look" Guy #445 (talk)  01:43, February 10, 2012 (UTC)

I'm gonna have to go with Naruto. For simple logical reasons: according to the main canon plotline for Donkey Kong Country Returns, either Donkey or Diddy Kong or both defeats Tiki Tong at the end of the game. In a one on one, I think Naruto would be more than a match for Donkey Kong. Therefore, I think Naruto could triumph over Tikit Tong. "I'll kill you with my sword!"

I really hate to say this, but my vote apparently goes to Naruto Uzumaki. Why do I hate spitting out things like that? Because I just DON'T care for this particular character. He's generic, annoying, and simply pathetic for a main lead in his own series (created by Masashi Kishimoto, btw). However, I sort of look at Tiki Tong the same way, except unlike Uzumaki, Tiki is someone I find to be a bit forgettable for a DK villain. {sigh} If only Retro Studios knew about King K. Rool.

Since Eggman is such a classic character and his portrayls have been amazing, my vote goes to him.

I'd love to watch the fight, but I'd kinda like Eggman to win. Genius "Busier than I look" Guy #445 (talk)  01:43, February 10, 2012 (UTC)

Beecanoe 23:55, February 7, 2012 (UTC)

I'm no expert on the Sega universe, but I know about Eggman and I breezed through the article on NiGHTS. In conclusion, it seems to me that in a man-on-man fight, it would be NiGHTS, because Eggman seems to rely more on technology for his wins. "I'll kill you with my sword!"

Venusaur VS Bowser Jr.

This is kind of a tough one. I guess I'll have to say Bowser Jr. because I never really liked the Pokemon Venusaur. Beecanoe 00:05, February 8, 2012 (UTC)

Make that 2 for B Jr. Genius "Busier than I look" Guy #445 (talk)  01:43, February 10, 2012 (UTC)

I believe Venusaur would be the victor for this one. According to Bulbapedia, Venusaur is capable of landing hits tantamount to the force of an armored truck, and prides moves such as Giga Impact, which as seen in Pokemon BW, have tremendous force.

Now look at Bowser Jr. He's fast and pretty nimble, but his physique as well as overconfidence make him clumsy and prone to screw-ups. As such, if Venusaur managed to land a single hit, he would break Bowser Jr. in many bad places. So, my vote goes to him. "I'll kill you with my sword!" Element Knight 375 04:04, February 11, 2012 (UTC)

Sceptile VS Metagross

Metagross, I guess. It just looks a lot cooler than Sceptile. Beecanoe 00:05, February 8, 2012 (UTC)

Metagross. All the way. Genius "Busier than I look" Guy #445 (talk)  01:43, February 10, 2012 (UTC)

Hmmmm... this is a very tough call. I suppose it just routes right back to the nature of each style of combat; Metagross is a large Pokemon that is able to elevate itself, and its moveset is primarily power, with moves such as Giga Impact. It also possesses four brains, giving it the intelligence of a supercomputer and praiseworthy wisdom.

Sceptile's moveset is based on speed. Its forte is slashing using the sword-like leaves on its body, and it is very agile and precise.

This is a pretty ambiguous decision, as they're both excellent fighters and are quite well matched. Metagross is capable, probably of predicting Sceptile's movements, although he may not be because Sceptile is very quick. I suppose it comes down to how powerful Sceptile's slashing is, and how tough Metagross's skin is. If Sceptile specializes in quick slashes with not a lot of power, and if Metagross has incredibly powerful skin, then it would be Metagross. However, if it went in the opposite direction, it would be Sceptile. It depends solely on circumstance in the end. "I'll kill you with my sword!" Element Knight 375 04:14, February 11, 2012 (UTC)

Extra Vote
I can see the size of the bracket struck up some controversy. So, I ask this question: Should I continue the tournament as is, or create a new, trimmed roster?

Votes and Comments go here
This is your decision, people :P Beecanoe 00:05, February 8, 2012 (UTC)

How about you give the option to BOMB certain players, meaning something random or ironic eliminates both fighters. Majority rules, and if fewer BOMBs than the said winner, something randomly makes them win. If it is a tie, with no BOMBs, you can have them be discharged or the fight could go to the character with the better reason/argument to winning. Sort of like Bass Legends, on SmackJeeves, or Roy's Battle Arena. Both are excellent. Genius "Busier than I look" Guy #445 (talk)  01:43, February 10, 2012 (UTC)

I'll just be honest and say that you continue the tournament as it is. If anything, I want this rumble to go on LONGER, actually. The tournament in itself is looking mighty fine, so far! "I was frozen today!" 09:20, February 10, 2012 (UTC)Ouroburos.TheNewSaurian

Or we could move some to another season. Genius "Busier than I look" Guy #445 (talk)  13:01, February 10, 2012 (UTC)

Well, if we want to make this tournament faster, we can have five votes before a week is up. But if people don't want to vote, that's what the one-week limit is for.

As for the BOMB idea, I would only use it if there was a tie by the time a week came by.

Beecanoe 18:55, February 10, 2012 (UTC)

I think the bombing idea is actually pretty good. However, it might be a bit too random. It would essentially be getting rid of characters without careful evaluation. If anything, you should keep it as it is. And, you may be already doing this, but be sure to remove any characters that have lost by popular vote. "I'll kill you with my sword!"
