Tournament idea

Text-only Version: Click HERE to see this thread with all of the graphics, features, and links.



quanchi112
I was thinking of having a wizard battle with fictional wizards from various areas of fiction with the following as options.



1. Voldemort-I'd represent him of course from the movies only.

2. Gandalf the White from the movies only

3. Ganondorf from the Twilight Princess

4. Zant from the Twilight Princess

5. Balthazar Blake from the Sorcerer's Apprentice

6. Horvath from the Sorcerer's Apprentice

7. Morgana from the Sorcerer's Apprentice

8. Albus Dumbledore--movies only

9. Severus Snape--movies only

10. Bavmorda--Willow film

11. Saruman the White--movies only

12. Sauron--movies only

13. Marnie Stonebrook (True Blood)

14. Midna (fused shadows) Twilight Princess



I'd like to get at least four participants to make this interesting otherwise it's just a battlezone.

BloodRain
Needs more diversity, because its only going to come down to HP, LotR and TP.

No one will rep Bavmorda, and only three could rep Marnie (who are unlikely to partake. Plus they're so weak no one would want them. SA is a good idea in theory, however from the last thread you made it doesn't seem like anyone really knows about them.



If people join the list will be the #1 from those verses; Voldermort vs Sauron vs Ganondorf vs the #2 from one of <-their worlds or the top hitter from SA.

Like the idea, but yeah, needs more diversity.

NemeBro
I will rep Magnus the Red from Warhammer 40,000.

Supra
I'll Rep Sauron and the One Ring

Well, if a HP fan shows up I guess they'd take Albus. I forgot that he's actually the best in his verse.

Some more characters added to the list.

15. Ravenna from Snow White and the Huntsmen
16. Jadis the White Witch from Chronicles of Narnia
17. Aang from the last Airbender

BloodRain
Was stated, iirc?

Aang is a wizard?

I added three more names.


So far I am representing Voldemort with Supra repping Sauron.


If we get at least two more names we can do this thing sometime in the future.

BloodRain
Anyone who'd rep TP would definitely choose Dorf over Zant and Midna. Yeah was going to question Midna too, but her having magic powers could have been reason enough /shrugs/


If ya found a wizard I liked I'd jump to it.

If ya found a wizard I liked I'd jump to it. What wizards do you enjoy ? Any from movies at all ? Let's see if I'm familiar with any of the wizards you prefer.


Ganondorf has been done to death and based off abilities Zant seems more versatile than Dorf but if someone represents Dorf they will lose if they run into him in the tournament.

quanchi112
This movie should be out soon as well which give out a few more options as well.

None of the contenders you've listed so far that I actually recognize seem to be in Ganondorf's tier, if you take him out this becomes more interesting for two reasons.

1. He'll win.
2. You'll deny it and support Voldemort
C. We already have a Ganondorf v.s. Voldemort thread.Originally posted by NemeBro

I'll rep classic Dr Strange. Your move. awesome

I disagree but this becomes interesting if we do a tournament. You don't have to represent Ganondorf anyway.

Up to you.

All right, I'll admit, you've actually had a good idea here. I just would hate to see it devolve into a two sided argument again.

Who are you interested in ? You could choose Zant with the notion of as long as no one else chooses Midna or Ganondorf.

Tell you what, let me have Princess Twilight Sparkle, and I'm in. I'm bored out of my mind of Twilight Princess threads, so this is only appropriate.

Only a ****ing charlatan asks people to discuss Aang from the movie.

Still, I didn't like the movie or his character adaptation, and I've got a lot of shit ahead of me. You'd be surprised (maybe). I don't see the likelihood of me changing my mind, but I'd let you know if I did.

We could set it up over the summer after the DVD is released for Desolation of Smaug.

Book character.

I guess there was also a TV adaptation but I never really watched it.

The Dresden Files, same as the book series.

Though the two series are very different, and went in entirely separate directions.

Book. Just because I was reading a chapter today, and the idea of him walking through 99% of this line-up interested me.

Half serious, he's a complete unknown and no ones taking the time to read the books :T (If ya haven't noticed, still can't think of decent magical characters)

You said you planned to wait for the DVD/Blu-Ray release of Desolation of Smaug? How long do releases usually take?

No one other than supra wants to do this.

Haven't heard of it. Will check the preview when home and see if its catching my eye. Tbh may even join if I know the character loses, just for the sake of it.

OK. I was wondering if Second Son would be out by then. I know Delsin's not a wizard, but I figured since movie Aang was an exception that he would pass. Your call though. I don't want to deviate your thread too much.

This tournament has turned from a good idea into an extraordinarily boring one. Quan refuses to argue any character that anyone else is actually interested in. Now there's two people in his tournament. That's fine, but it's not much of a tournament with just two people.

I listed options and no one has taken any of those but instead mentioning numerous characters not from the list. Not my fault no one knows how to interpret a thread.

It doesn't come out until March, but you've already postponed this, so what the hell.

Seeing as that's the case, if you wanted to do something like this sooner while meeting a criteria that would satisfy (address to Scream's earlier statement), you might do an open tourney-style debate in which people are free to submit a character they would genuinely be passionate about representing.

Regulations could include "up to, but not exceeding 16 participants" and "all characters must reside within the same tier unless otherwise declared fair by the majority."

That's not to say you have to abandon ship here, but rather just something to occupy without destroying/renovating your current idea.

I don't debate against characters I'm not familiar with. Non negotiable.

Can Link count as a wizard?

I think A Link to the Past or Link Between Worlds in particular could be pretty good. Also maybe the Hyrule Warriors guy.
