Uhh can one of you type an example of a battle post someone might type out, so we know what we are exactly doing. I had no idea how to start the post or what it would look like. Since this thread is locked just add it to one of your posts or ignore me if you want :) and delete my post when you are done.

Post any kind of argument you want, dude. You could just simply give reasons for why you think a particular character would win, or you can can give a play by play of how you think the match would go.

If I were to argue a for a particular character I would explain each of the characters skills, of course downsizing the one's I don't want to win, then explain how the character whom I want to win couldn't possibly be defeated by their opponents abilities.

Look back at the Battle between Sephiroth and Raziel to get some ideas. There were some good points and counters in there if I remember correctly.

I'm starting to get pissed off at the level on inactivity with this ting. It's a really good idea and nobody seems to notice it or care enough to post. If you look, me and uncapped are the only ones to post for the Snake vs. Rikimaru so far, sure 8 people have voted, but no one is posting. Are these people just too lazy to give reasons for their votes? I sure hope not.

I would be all about posting, but I need to be an imparital judge on the situation. :(

Maybe I'll just randomly *Bump* it so it gets on the top of the New Posts list. :)

Yes, make a post and then delete it.

The problem is that...not every members are familiar with all the characters. For instance, I used to play Tenchu, but I'm not a big fan of Metal Gear. I don't know much about Solid Snake at all. And some people might be the other way around.

(Heh, and I'm too lazy to do research...)

Well, as the battles continue, I'm sure a more diverse style will be incorporated, one that enables the members to get more active.

This is only the beginning of the potential for this new Forum. It will undoubtedly evolve into a supreme activity level induced Forum! W00t w00t!!

I kinda want to put pictures of the characters in each thread as well, but right now, what is happening is fine. Add comments and suggestions here too people to better Zelaron Melee

I've started to do a little bit of research on the characters, right now I'm just posting pictures and brief descriptions but later on I'll start putting in fansites or official sites that have a lot of information on that character. Maybe I'll even post a ROM of any old games that contain certain characters people may not have heard of( if that's allowed, that is ).

Why are there no females in the game? Are they considered "too weak" and must be rescued, like princess Toadstool in SMB1? Lara Croft, Ayane from the Dead and Alive series, Oni and Samus are all pretty damn lethal. Maybe there is a female or two whose names I haven't heard of, and maybe this was all due to the suggesions' thread, but I'm just curious about this anyway.

Ayame from Tenchu is on it.

Oh yes, and Joanna Dark too. I completely missed those.

We just picked from the Character Suggestion Box. If there weren't enough suggestions, we would pick our own, but in this case, there were plenty of suggestions. What you see if what you get! :)

Eh, I added one that wasn't in the box. Fulgore was my own addition to the pot.

Can you guys please update the bracket? I'm getting a wee bit confused on what battles are still active and stuff.

Done.

I have a question... Do we just post why we think the charecter would win, or is it like somone called that charecter and they are to battle, like an rpg.

You are supposed to post which character you think would win and give a thought-out and legitimate reason why you think this.

You could do both. Describe the character's abillities and such then describe(in a fan battle if you wish) how that person would use those abillities for victory.

Example:

Auron:
He has high strenth but low speed. His abillity Power Break could lower "whoever's" strength.


Battle
Auron stared at his foe. The "other guy" began to run at him. His power was so huge, he would bash Auron's head in. Auron used Power Break and with it the "other guy's" strength was lowered helping Auron throw off his attack.

Got it?

I think I'm going to "roleplay" the characters from now on, and narrarate the the battle. That'll be fun.
