    So what if Duckula was a vegetarian. He was still a vampire for crying out loud.

    My beef was with Howard the Duck... it's the eyes.

    Dude, he knows Quak-Fu and he's worn the Iron Duck armor against Doctor Bong.

    He reminds me of the square pigs from Space Truckers which, while adorable in theory... do not work in reality.

    Y'all are confusing me, if enough people post on here saying that they have heard of these characters then I'll put them in. :p

    Sometimes I prefer battles involving characters Ive never heard of. Takes personal bias out of the equation.

    Yeah but, how would you know who to vote for, other than taking Wikipedia's word for it. :pac:

    Maybe we should do and old school horror one again?


    I liked the horror.

    No french characters allowed. They would just handle something inappropriate....

    I liked the horror.

    For sure, I think this original idea combined with the "give a reason for your vote" aspect would make for a very popular tournament.

    Did a bit of brainstorming today and I'm thinking leagues. The format will be strange but I'm hoping it will work. Basically I can't have a character fight every character that is in their league as it would just be ridiculously long, like 90+ matches in total for each league. Still working on it, any ideas welcome. :)

    Throwing this out there for discussion, how would you all feel if I put Batman in the "Human" League instead of the "Superhero" League?

    That's where he should be. Realistically, 1 man with 1 bullet can kill Batman.

    That's what I think too, just getting the concensus from people just so I'm not accused of giving Bats an "easier" route. :p

    I was thinking of something along the lines of action heroes. Of course, that probably fits in with your human league.
    People like Dutch (Predator), Sarah Connor (Terrmiantor 1,2+series), Colonel Matrix (Commando), Ellen Ripley (Alien 1-4), John Rambo (First Blood 1-4), Frank Castle (Punisher 1-3), John Connor (Terminator 2-4+series), John McClaine (Die Hard 1-4), Mike Harrigan (Predator 2), Paul Kersey (Death Wish 1-5), etc.

    Would Buffy be in the superheroes section?

    Yup, most of the above mentioned I have under the "Human" League. Action Heroes would perhaps be a cooler name than Humans. :p

    Right now I have Buffy in the Human League, how does everybody feel about that?

    Ash is in the Human League, he should have a credible performance in this tournament so. :p

    I find that acceptable.

    He could have taken Godzilla.

    I have issues with Buffy and Ellen Ripley (from Alien: Res) being in the human league as they have both been enhanced. Buffy's powers stem from demonhood do they not?

    I'm certain Buffy is considered superhuman, so she is basically a superhero.
    Forgot about the Alien 4 plot device. Maybe we should just limit Ripley to films 1-3.
    As for Ash, I'd say he just about makes it into the 'human league'.

    Fair point on Buffy but I don't buy Aliens Resurrection as that's not the real Ripley.

    For sure we can debunk that argument right now.

    I'm looking at around mid December for the start of the tournament. I'll put up the suggested leagues and characters soon so you can all give it the rubber stamp and what not. :)
