The fighting game character tournament 2003

[Guest Renegade]

If anyone remembers, a while back I held a tournament featuring fighting game characters. And now the tournament returns, but in order for it do so I need your suggestions and opinions.

 

Firstly, recommend me any character that you would see fit to enter the tournament. Don’t bother recommending any of the obvious characters since they will almost positively be in the tournament. You will need to mention the game of the characters origin since there are some fighting games that I do not play very often and never intend to (e.g. Dead or Alive).

 

Secondly, should the champion of the last tournament, Ryu be allowed to enter this tourney? I’m concerned that Ryu will win by a landslide and I would appreciate your opinion on this.

 

Voting and somesuch ends lets say, around a week? Then the tournament begins. The tournament will last longer than the last due to the increase in participants

OK first off, how many slots are available? If you're not going to take the super obvious I'd like to put in a vote for:

 

- Kim Kap Hwan (KOF 2002)

- Cammy

- Rugal (KOF 2001 version)

- OG Sagat (Super Turbo)

- Chipp (GGXX)

- Faust (GGXX)

[Guest Lightning Flik]

Include Ryu as you just have ta. If he wins by a landslide this year then can him from particpating next year.

 

Now here we go with my list of who I want in:

 

Link - Soul Calibur 2 Game Cube Version (or Super Smash Bros Melee). Most notiably known for the Legend of Zelda series.

 

Mega Man- Capcom vs ??? (not sure if it was SNK or Marvel correct me if I'm wrong people). Notiably known for the Mega Man series, and X series.

 

Roy - Super Smash Bros Melee. Known for the Fire Emblem series.(SSBM is a fighting game, whereas Fire Emblem was strat)

 

Can we add these guys to the listing?

Don't leave the Mishimas out this time! Especially Kazuya, he's totally badass.

 

I'd also say Mitsurugi, Cervantes and Testament should be in there somewhere.

 

Let Ryu defend his title. He only beat Akuma by a couple votes this time, so it's not so clear he'd win again.

Baek and Lee from Tekken Tag

[Guest The Tino Standard]

I'm clueless on fighting game characters, but I would suggest that you hold your tournament without your defending champion. Then have the winner of the new tourney face the winner of the last one in a special showdown.

Having Ryu as the "boss fight" of the tourney, like Tino Standard mentioned, would be cool.

 

As for characters:

 

Larcen (Eternal Champions)

Kabal (Mortal Kombat 3)

B.B. Hood (Vampire Savior)

Billy Kane (Fatal Fury 2)

 

Brocken and Mudman from the World Heroes universe also deserve to be in!

[Guest Sakura]

Billy Kane made his debut in the first Fatal Fury.

 

He was not in the Genesis port though.
