Nicolas Cage in any Cagey performance would be usable. Screech would not.
It's accepted canon, so the novel for the movies can also be used? Why not just limit movie fights to feats from movies?

But probably since you diverged from your original point. Expanded lore on a MOVIE character shouldn't be excused if it's canon just because it was a TV show. This shit happens so little in fiction it's pointless to seperate them.
He is the same character at the end of the day. Not his fault more people can't make the switch from movies to tv to comics to novels to games. Star Wars is a special case.
Originally posted by SurturThey are, but then you'd just be limiting characters. If people are fans of the characters it's doubtful they only know them from one medium.
I think people are fully capable of separating the characters from the different versions, but I digress. I still don't get why there is no tv versus forum considering the many many tv shows out there.
And there is a tv vs. It's called Foreign Cinema. Where people talk about glistening latinos beating women and how Kratos punches a hole in your favorite tv character

Well, whether everyone is happy about it or not, the Clone Wars is valid, as per the forum rules. In fact, according to the very same rule you partially quoted earlier.
8. Characters from televised movies are allowed for versus matches, but characters from an actual TV series are not allowed, since, obviously, the tv series is not a movie. Characters who have appeared on both television and on film (Star Trek, 24, etc) are allowed for versus matches. Star Trek, for example, has numerous tv shows of different franchises as well as motion pictures and it seems only fair to allow feats from both in versus matches. Remember, though: Characters who have appeared on television ONLY cannot be used in the Movie Versus Forum. That is why we have the All Versus Forum.
As long as the television material is officially canon to the films (like the Clone Wars is to the Star Wars films), any feats from the television material is valid.
