-Matches will last exactly 24 hours. Votes after that much time has elapsed will not be counted, even if a new topic hasn't gone up yet.
-This is a contest to determine which character is the most *powerful*. Vote only for the character you think would win in a fight, not the one who's funnier, cooler, or sexier. If you don't do that I can't count your vote.
-BOLD YOUR VOTE. Unbolded votes will NOT be counted.
-Rallying is allowed. Alts are not.
-Fights will take place in a neutral terrain. This does not necessarily mean a *featureless* terrain: assume that both characters will have a chance to use all of their skills to the fullest here, barring setting-specific abilities and anything that requires the presence of multiple enemies (but see below).
-Characters start the fight alone. They don't bring allies with them, like Kerrigan and the Zerg Swarm for instance. Summons are allowed though, provided they're brought once combat has started.
-Fighters retain their usual personalities. They won't fight to kill unless that's their MO, and won't spam their best attacks to win unless, again, that's how they act in their original media.
-You don't have to justify your vote, but it helps. If you feel like you can add something to the debate, go right ahead!
-Seriously, BOLD THE VOTE. So important it bears repeating.

In a quiet, understated match, Hakumen lead for most of the topic, but a last-minute surge pushed Jack Rakan over him. The Man With a Thousand Faces moves on to Round 2! Votals: 5-4.
(4) Sarda
From 8-Bit Theatre, Sarda is an extremely powerful reality warper. The self-proclaimed 'Wizard Who Did It', he is responsible for the events of the story behind the scenes. He is all-powerful and, among other abilities, can reverse and stop time, as well as manipulate reality itself. Sarda is tremendously arrogant and spiteful: he has often used his powers to affect the universe out of sheer boredom or just to irritate others, such as when he shortened the length of the days from 36 hours to 24, just to make everyone hurry up, as well as deleting an alternate timeline where the light warriors actually saved the world, which he then erased. He is nigh-omniscient and omnipotent: though mighty as few are, he has been taken by surprise before, and was overcome by the arrival of Chaos after absorbing an exorbitant amount of magic.
(5) The Masked Man
From Mother 3, the Masked Man is a cyborg who follows the commands of King Porky. He is armed with a sword and an arm cannon, and is proficient in the handling of both weapons, as well as an accomplished PSI user. The wings on his back give him the ability to fly, and he possesses the ability to break through supernatural shielding with ease.
