-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:
Surprisingly, Sarda failed to Mercy Kizaru. He still won comfortably, of course, but failing to achieve the requisite number of votas for a total stomp was surprising. Votals: 13-2
(8) Seiya
From Saint Seiya, Pegasus Seiya is one of the Saints of the Zodiac, who wears the Bronze Armor of Pegasus, and later on, his own God Cloth. This powerful protective armor is an illusion, a physical representation of his Cosmos, his ability to harness the energy of the Big Bang through his own body. While donning his God Cloth, Seiya's Cosmos is infinite, allowing him full access to that energy. He is capable of moving at speeds well in excess that of light, dishing out blows so powerful that they can damage incorporeal entities, and no attack he can survive will work on him twice. Perhaps Seiya's most defining feature is his grit: he is able to endure incredibly powerful assaults and resurrect himself through sheer force of will. Combined with his aforementioned ability to become immune to an attack after having witnessed it, defeating him requires the use of overwhelming force or a very large arsenal of attacks.
