So ends the first tournament.

There are plenty of examples of other genres of entertainment to draw characters from. Movies, comics, books and anime would be a number of prime candidates. And, as King suggested, there's the possibility of further specifying certain categories with which to hold a series of smaller tournaments. Examples might be "Final Fantasy Characters", "Anime Villains" or "Marvel Comics Characters". There are a number of possibilities for future tournaments. That discussion, however, will be examined at greater depth in the next few days.

Well...how about the aspect of using real people? Kinda Celebrity-Deathmatch-ish. Clinton, Bill Gates, Paris Hilton, Bush, Kerry, Hillary Duff, etc and so on.

Just an idea.

You can't really show strengths and weaknesses there as easily as from games.

I'd prefer mini tournaments to big tournaments, but that's probably because this one went on way too fucking long.

Yeah, I'd have to agree. Maybe a bunch of mini-sized, say 8 per tournament, then the winners of similar genres can have a final death match.

Maybe.. depends on what it is.

Maybe movie hardasses. (No Kagom, not like that.)

I say eight per tournament sounds fine. We could do something like two or four small tournaments over the summer and then have the winners beat each other down in a finale. Alright, well the consensus seems to be that people want another tournament. Now's the task of deciding what sort of tournament the next one shall be.
