Round 3 starting! Link here
Rules for this round[]
- You will be scored, for a maximum of 50 points, based on three factors. They are:
- The polls
- The maximum amount of points you can get from the polls is 10, and the points you get from it is based on the % of votes your character has (ie, X has 2 and y has 2, giving both 5 points) Note that, even if you get no votes, you'll still recieve at least 1 point
- Popularity
- This is what will help the obscure gets get farther ahead in the tournament. Based on popularity, the character can get up to 10 extra points. What kind of popularity, you ask? Well, that will be obscurity. For example, Goku, who's well known around the interwebs, will get 1 point for popularity, while someone like Detective Chimp will get 8-9
- The Scenario you come up with
- In the comments below, I want you to come up with a reasonable scenario as to why your character will win. This is out of a total of 30 points, and 10 points are given for each mini-category:
- Research
- You have to show that you have done your work on researching your opponent and your character (Trust me, I'll know when you've done none/biased research), and have a basic understanding of them
- Plausibility
- The more plausible it is, the more points it gets
- Overall enjoyability
- The more I enjoy it, the more point you can get.
- Research
- In the comments below, I want you to come up with a reasonable scenario as to why your character will win. This is out of a total of 30 points, and 10 points are given for each mini-category:
- The polls
- Whoever gets the most points, wins!
ON TO ROUND 2!

Bloody ending, which I enjoy in this situation with , with the rats eating her and all. I believe you were trying to hint something with Nico bleeding everywhere, seeing as how cutting herself activates her powers, so can you clarify this? Otherwise, decent fight with magical powers being used.

At first I assumed it was gonna be like Bobby's entry... but then the closing parts had me going

I know you were trying to make a "Monty Python and The Search For The Holy Grail" reference, but it seemed random and out of place. Also, taking your own direction in interpreting things from fiction's fine, but keep it within the laws of that fictional universe.
- Chainer total score:27
- Nico Minoru total score:29 was the original score, with the %20 deduction from a late entry it is now (after rounding it off) 23
Rambo has no scenario submitted, but Mikasa has one, making Mikasa the winner!

Clever. That's how I'd describe it in one word. As stated in the last blog I love it when people use ways that don't necessarily involve directly fighting their opponent... and I think this was the best so far. Kudos

A neat little argument made by John, if only dented by the fact that Michaelangelo has conciousness in all current points in time. Still, it's very nice in displaying not only a great way to win a fight against a time lord (if he wasn't in all time streams, as formerly mentioned), but also a decent lesson to know in life.
- Michelangelo
Entertainment=7
Plausibility=8

A display of his powers after Constantine tried to con him into giving him a win. Rather simple, not much to say here.
- Constantine total score: 29
- Michaelangelo total score: 35
A scenario was made for Dr. Strange, but none was submitted for Magneto, giving Strange the win!

Rather entertaining, using an inner monologue in his head to illustrate. If you make it to the next round (not gonna spoil anything until you get to the bottom of the tab;p) I'd be greatly interested in what you have to show in said next round. (quick note, you have 7.75 in entertainment because that "YAY" was so glaringly out of place and it bothered me so much.)
- Lobo=
Entertainment = 7
Plausibility = 7

Entertaining, with its elevator music and Batman joke, but it seems a little... rushed. Perhaps a bit of polish would've helped it out to make it an even better entry.

I love your Scenario, as it's just Zedd being, ya know, Zedd. Ah, memories of good old, cheesy 90's Power Rangers... anyway, good action overall, just a little bit of drama would've made it better (i.e. Zedd gets arrogant and makes a monster out of Charles' chair or something , but then Charles mind-controls the monster).
- Charles Xavier=
Entertainment = 8
Plausibility = 4
Understanding = 7
Considering your last entry, I did not see something like this coming. Really funny, along with that neat little thing you had in the end (Who am I really? I really do wanna know...). Just kinda far-fetched.

If I'm to be honest, I'm a little disappointed this round. You did do a great idea, but then it came out rushed in the end. Still, you did do a decent amount of work for this, and it's still fun, I just wished you came up with more specific things happening in it (I.e., who catches who, how they caught them etc.)
- Sherlock Holmes=
Entertainment=3
Plausibility=5
Understanding=5
Okay, I think I see what you were trying to do, but there are only two different reactions that your scenario can get
- "Wow! I wonder what Sherlock did to beat Spike? Gosh, that was neat!"
- http://i.imgur.com/lyYm0nA.jpg
Guess which one was my reaction? No offence meant at all, but you probably should've went with something else instead (i.e. Flashback to what happened; or have him in a moment of suspense, cut to future, then show how he survived...)

- Tommy Oliver=
Entertainment = 5
Plausibility = 5
Understanding = 7
It's really neat of you to use both the theory that Rick's a replicant and then using that as a way to win without exactly fighting... but it doesn't exactly feel like something Tommy Oliver would do. I do like how you did it in the middle of a fight instead of doing it straight up in the beginning, as that would seem more likely, but it still doesn't really feel in character. Maybe if something else happened (like Saba couldn't cut through Rick's arm after when Tommy accidentally hit him), it would be more likely to happen.
- Rick Deckard=
Entertainment = 7
Plausibility = 4
Understanding = 7
The quip at the start of your entry making fun of the cheesy tropes used in Power Rangers had me laughing a good bit at first and I really did enjoy how you made fun of the tropes used in Power Rangers, but this is a tournament where you fight against other characters, not a roasting. Still a fun read, just gotta keep that in mind.
- Tommy Oliver total score:27
- Rick Deckard total score:25
Neither side has made a scenario, so it all comes down to poll and obscurity scores:

Rather entertaining, but I want to note that Wander isn't really cruel as he may seem from killing all of the innocent colossus (except Dirge... that thing's a jerk...), but rather willing to do whatever he needs. I wouldn't see him insulting people or smiling when something (i.e., his opponent, Accelerator) may die. Other than that, though, decent job all around.
- Wander=
Entertainment=6

Well, not much to say here. 'Least you were honest in your title. Just more effort would've been good :P.
- Accelerator total score:28
