But before I complete it and post it, I need to make sure it hasn't been done before, and that everyone would be down with the concept and get into it.
My idea is a 'Tournament to End All Tournaments', and is essentially a 512-person bracket-style tournament pitting every single awesome/badass character/person/historial figure I can think of against one another.
I haven't left any stone unturned either. Just to name a few: I've penned down Mr. T, Kirby, and Winston Churchill as three of the 512. Any of these people/characters could potentially end up in a showdown. I would leave it up to all of you to vote on who wins. Naturally, a 512-person 1v1 bracket-style tournament would take a while to complete. Therefore, I could only conceive of having a poll open for one day before moving on to the next match.
The choices for each match would be random, of course, until all 512 have fought in the first round. Then it drops to 256, 128, 64, 32, 8, 4, and finally 2 to crown the most awesome/badass character/person of all time.
Naturally, certain religious/political figures have been omitted to avoid controversy or people being offended. I want the voting to be based simply on how awesome the person/character is. While there are some political/religious figures included, these people are not primarly popular for their beliefs on such matters--such as Teddy Roosevelt. If the mods have issues with figures such as Teddy Roosevelt, I will gladly remove their names from the brackets. I don't foresee it being an issue, however. I've done my best to avoid using historical figures that might cause controversy.
Any interest? Questions? Comments? Please, let me know. I think this could really be awesome.
