Tournament Mechanics:
- The tournament brackets will be formulated using the list above. In case you're wondering, it's not going to be "Cohen vs Guts" then move within the list in an orderly outside in fashion. The way it works is, I'll pick a random high Seeder (in which case only Guts is in the 6-Seed Category) to go up against a random 1-Seeder. Rinse and repeat until we have our 64 pairings. Any curious pairs (like say Conan vs Cohen) will be completely coincidental.

- Every week, a block of 4 Battles (8 Fighters) will be displayed to which you must vote who do you think will win in each battle. I will once again copypaste the stipulations of the tournament for reference. Take the stipulations into consideration when voting. I will also as before, provide an easy copypaste form.

- Discussions are allowed and encouraged. Post anything you can think of: images, videos, essays, flimsy explanations. If you have the tiniest iota of logic that says Luke Cage can defeat the Hulk in a round, then go ahead and post it. You don't have to of course and can just vote straight away.

- To prevent any confusion and to distinguish between just namedropping someone and actually voting for them, I will be requiring all votes to be in BOLD. If it's not in BOLD, it won't be counted. But be careful, once you vote, you can no longer change it!

- Ties will be determined by a Lightning Round whereby a re-vote of those involved will occur alongside the fighters of the next Block. Unlike normal voting rounds, only the first 3 votes will matter...and it is first come first serve!



Battle Stipulations
Take the following into consideration when voting for the winner of each battle:

1) You are voting for who wins it in a battle between the two. Not who is the sexiest. Not who is the most popular. Not who can sing the better tune. You can choose to justify it alongside your vote to convince others or you can just vote whatever you think is right.

2) Rounds are fought 'fairly'. It means however you want it to mean. But in general it means it's on a setting that gives advantages and disadvantages to both parties without compromising the world, and both parties cannot call their allies unless it is in their ability to do so.

3) Both characters know they are fighting but will not know who they are facing against until the Round occurs.

4) Take both character's personalities into consideration. Despite those feelings, they will both want to win no matter what. A character in this tournament cannot choose to go against winning no matter what.

5) Both characters will be fighting in their strongest consistent state. No temporary power-ups. So if you nominate Goku, he will not or cannot be in his Super-Saiyan Form unless it's as a finishing move or something brief. Link will have his default equipment of upgraded arrows and bombs but none of his relics from the games. Ben Tennyson's alien forms however is fine if you take into consideration his watch recharging and his forms dissipating after a few minutes.

6) All fights are fought to the death. If personality or something else restricts that character from doing so, it's until one of them is disabled or cannot continue battling.
