Welcome back to the Tournament to End All Tournaments! Muhammad Ali wins in convincing fashion as he solidifies himself as the far greater cultural icon over Bartholemew J. Simpson. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think a single Simpsons character has advanced thus far. Maybe they really have overstayed their welcome...
Help me find out who the most awesome/badass character/person of all time is!
How would one accomplish such a task? Why by pitting every awesome and/or badass person/character/historical figure in a 512-person bracket style tournament that leaves only one person standing in the end. Who will it be? You will decide.
There is no voting criteria. You can vote for a participant based on whatever you please. If you feel that person would be the victor in a fist fight, or if you think they're more badass, more epic, have better hair, or if you just like one better than the other. It's completely up to you, the voter. I want people to have fun with this, and perhaps imagine the two participants squaring off face to face.
Never the less, we move right along with our next matchup, as Street Fighter character Zangief, takes on the title character of the Bourne trilogy, Jason Bourne. Zangief, of course, is the quedessential Russian of fighting games, and has been a mainstay on the Street Fighter scene since the second installment of the series. Fun facts about Zangief include him training by fighting grizzly bears and jumping into tornadoes. Jason Bourne, on the other hand, is a disgraced former government assassin who developed amnesia after a failed mission and spent the course of three movies figuring out who and what he was while hopefully getting revenge on those out to destroy him. I'd say this is a fairly even matchup. We'll see.
