-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.
-Similarly, fighters are unaware of their opponents capabilities at the start of the fight unless their powers facilitate them information (like knowing all there is to know in the universe - this would include who the opponent is and what he can do, as well as weaknesses)
-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.

Past Results:
After several blowouts, the Aang vs. Red match lived up to the hype, giving us a thrilling battle in which the Pokémon Trainer's clever tactics and numbers advantage were enough to overcome even the mighty Avatar State. I'm still waiting on those feats for Aang, though...! Votals: 8-15
(3) Negi Springfield
From Mahou Sensei Negima, Negi Springfield is a young but powerful mage. Negi is skilled with wind, light, and lightning magic; he fights with a combination of Chinese martial arts and unincanted spells. He eventually learns delayed spells as a battle tactic and can create a strong magical barrier to protect his frail body. He is a remarkably quick learner and fights with magic through his fists.
Negi can absorb magic into his body, with differing results; absorbing flames ups his strength, while absorbing lightning ups his speed. Negi is also able to use a magic circle to stop and absorb an opponent's power in order to use their own strength against them; this is how he was able to fight Jack Rakan, a very powerful fighter, to a standstill.
