All Fictional Characters Battle, I said.

Nintendo would dominate most contest formats here. At least in a developer contest, Nintendo only gets one entry.

I want to say best fictional character, but am too afraid of what the nominations would look like.


Plus this is a vg site...

In the end I stuck with a vg character contest sans Link.

There isn't really a danger of that happening here. Like at all. People here all want contests, so that's why they all submitted contests last time. But no one agrees on what kind of contests they want.

Also I went for TAG TEAM BATTLES because it sounds like 4-ways except more insane and therefore more fun to me.

My answer:


Classic 1v1 Best Videogame character ever contest with a twist


When submitting a bracket, every unique user (so 1 per household/ip adress) gets to pick 6 characters:

A top 3 favorite characters and a top 3 least favorite characters.

Each character that you pick gets the following points:

A number one favorite character gets +4
number two +2
number three +1

least favorite number one -4
number two -2
number three -1

This gives each character in the contest a score over the total amount of brackets.

Based on these scores they are then sorted in certain "classes", that give certain starting advantages (but never have an extreme impact).

As a random example:
Say Alucard would face off vs Link. Alucard has 10 100 points and Link has -2000 points

10 000- 15 000 points class creates a starting advantage of 3000 votes
-1000 to -2000 points class creates a starting disadvantage of 750 votes.

Alucard would then start the poll with 3750 votes (this advantage would be announced at the start of each poll so you know it before you vote) while Link starts with 0 votes.




Flame away :).

that could be neat but the length seems to be a problem unless he does two matches at a time once he starts to get loser bracket entrants

I WOULD nominate this but I doubt SB would actually find a legal way to have listen to songs

and if there's no listening then the contest will have no integrity unless people actually go out of their way to listen to songs

Yeah, it'd probably devolve into a pseudo-games contest. We'd probably have a final of like... OoT - Gerudo Valley v FFVII Main Theme or something. I'm not sure how familiar your average GameFAQs visitor would be with VGMusic so I'd expect it to devolve into a "pick your favorite game" kind of thing.

Best Game Developer would be best.

We could do a best portable game tournament.

We could also do a tournament to find the best game from each year with 32 years of gaming put 16 games from each year in a tournament and when the winner is decided from each year we put all of them in another tournament with each other and they battle until we have an overall winner.

Overall best choices would be Developer or Portable game. Though the last idea is cool too.

Seriously considered this until I went with Best VG song.

And yes, I'm aware it would be a long shot for that contest to work.

I also put a clause in there saying that Bacon could limit entrants to characters who have appeared in video games and limit match pics to in-game renditions. Maybe that will warm him up to the idea a bit.

http://img713.imageshack.us/img713/9302/banner5morrigan2.jpg

Yeah, that was the version I went for, simply allowing anyone who has been in a video game to compete.

Though that was a secondary nomination on my feedback ticket, not my primary one.

I suggested a Character Battle that followed the same formula as the last one (Vote-ins, 12-hour matches), with one key difference: no Link. Aside from a straight-up fictional character contest, I think that's the best contest I could hope for!

That's what I picked too. Well, not the vote-ins, I forgot about that, but they're not really that important.
