Similar to the SWTOR.com forums, I was thinking of hosting a Battlezone tournament featuring many prominent sith and jedi. the tournament would have a total of 32 combatants, and each battle would be decided until there's one left standing. In these battles, however, there are no half-assed 2 sentence answers. I will give a bio of the characters and you must wholly and completely analyze their powers and skillsets to ultimately determine a victor. The character who has the best arguments backing up his/her abilities will move on to the next round.
Characters that won't be included in the tournament are: The Ones, Bedlam Spirits, Luke, Sidious, and Vitiate, as these characters spark a little too much controversy, and no battles involving them would be decided.
If you would like, request combatants of your choice not named above to be in the tournament, and if you have any questions, please ask.

I say include everyone but God-teir character (or characters who people would debate on whether they are a God-tier character or not).
This includes anybody who operates on an abnormally large scale (e.g. Nihilus), or people who are unkillable (e.g. Sion). I also say we exclude spirits, so only living Force Users. Also, exclude all deities and such beings, as well as Zonakin. And maybe exclude incredibly obscure characters?
I propose the following characters to be included:
Yoda
RotJ Sidious
Mace Windu
Count Dooku
TCW Asajj Ventress
TCW Darth Maul
Savage Opress
RotS Obi-Wan
Darth Vader
Prime Luke Skywalker
Kyp Durron
Darth Caedus
Jaina Solo
Darth Krayt
Cade Skywalker
Darth Bane
Kas'im
Darth Zannah
Revan
Darth Traya
Meetra Surik
Satele Shan
Darth Malgus
Exar Kun
Ulic Qel-Droma
The Hero of Tython
The Barsenthor
Darth Nox
Emporer's Wrath
This leaves space for 3 others that I might have missed.
__________________ My personal ranking of SWVF debaters:
Most people would then just argue that Luke and Sidious would win the whole thing, so it doesn't make it an interesting outcome. Vitiate i won't include either because of the controversy surrounding his power, and that we'd never come to a concrete conclusion. Probably won't include Nihilus either.
Why request Yoda, Sidious and Luke? So they can inevitably make it to the final fights, and we can all fellate over how powerful they are again? Wtf? Keep them out of here, we all know they're strong. Who cares. Its going to be the exact same thing as the tournament we had at SWF.

Traya should enter, sans giga drain of course. I think she's strong enough to hold her own without it.
I have no idea about Nihilus.

No its not. The more the merrier, perfect way to increase post count and increase the dialogue. For as long as I've been lurking here one complaint was lack of activity, what better way to encourage forum dialogue than with a tournament.
