The fighting game character tournament 2k4

[Renegade 0]

Coming this New Year the smartmarks fighting game character tournament 2004 will start once again for its third year. Since I plan to make the number of contestants as large as the last tournament I would like people to nominate any specific character that they would like to enter the tournament. I will give some time to make sure everybody has a chance to nominate while I devise the other contestants. There are just some rules:

 

1- The character you nominate MUST be of fighting game origin, the only characters that do not follow this rule are characters that have been in a sufficiently large number of fighting games.

 

Example: Clark and Ralf from Ikari warriors can be in this tournament since they have been in fighting games for a decade, where Megaman or Wolverine have only be part of capcom’s vs series and hence cannot be entered.

 

2-Don’t nominate crap characters from crap games (Clayfighter, Toshinden, Tobal no 1 etc). I didn’t even want to put any mortal kombat characters in the tournament but since the games and characters are popular I feel like I’m obliged too.

 

3-Don’t nominate obvious characters (Ryu, Akuma, Kyo, Sol Badguy etc) because they will almost definitely be in the tournament.

 

EDIT:

 

4- Limit yourself to no more than 4 nominations.

 

I'll give this a week or two before I start up the tournanmet

*Eggs Renegade's house for snubbing Tobal. Chicken Dude rules, and that was a cool game. Wonder what Tobal 2 is like...

 

Damn, Sakura picked Karin already.

 

1- The character you nominate MUST be of fighting game origin, the only characters that do not follow this rule are characters that have been in a sufficiently large number of fighting games.

 

Pick 1 - Wolverine from the many X-Men fighting games, both Capcom and non-Capcom.

 

Pick 2 - Pyron from the Darkstalkers series.

 

Pick 3 - Lilith from Vampire Savior/Darkstalkers 3.

 

Pick 4 - Paul Pheonix from Tekken series.

Btw if people are expection DoA characters to be in this you should really vote for them, because I have never cared for the games so I dont have the characters in mind.
