Tournament Unlimited: The Finals
« on: September 28, 2012, 12:21:57 am »

Alright, the basic idea of this game is that we take characters in media and throw them into a giant tournament together. These characters can be from comic books, video games, movies, television, anime, novels, plays, history or even present tense reality. The challenges these characters face however, are entirely random. They can be anything from combat, to sporting events to quizzes to household cooking, as such victory can vary wildly from expectations. As an example, if Professor Oak and the Punisher ended up in the same round together and knife fighting was rolled, bad ol' Frank Castle is unquestionably going to be the victor, if instead mentoring is rolled then the Prof. would be supreme. It won't always be so clear cut though, so sometimes debate is going to come into play, keep it clean though kids. I may write up flavour text for certain match-ups, depending on how much time i have in a round.

Rule 1: Your chosen character must be someone who's either well known, or easily google searchable, or i'm vetoing it, this is where the danger of real life folks come into play, we may not actually know a lot about their capabilities.
Rule 2: Please, no god-like charachters, they arn't fun. However, Gods themselves arn't neccecarilly thrown out the window entirely, long as they have some serious limitations. For all intents and purposes lets use Q as the template for a godlike charachter, he can pretty much do anything, while Thor from the marvel universe (or the Norse Mythology for that matter) is limited, and therefore is a fair entry.
Rule 3: just to clarify, your charachter does not need to be specific, you could say "Cacodemon from Doom", or "Elephant from Boatmurdered" just as easily as Gandalf or Wonder Woman.
Rule 4: for the moment lets say one charachter per person per tournament. I am waiving this rule for the first tournament however, so that we can fill slots.
Rule 5: I'll be judging, and therefore researching charachters if i need to (which i will, possibly a lot), and probably consulting with other people who know charachters better than i do.
Rule 6: For tournaments with fewer charachters each round will consist of 3 different competitions per matchup.

I have a list of random possible competitions from when i played this game before, please add to it!
Baseball, par course, chilling out, orc slaying, surgery, swimming, throwing a tantrum, pokemon training, space exploration, cookie selling, arm wrestling, maintaining audience interest, computer wizardry, presidential campaign, pschological health, jousting, lightsabre duel, cooking, gymnastics, beauty contest, ping pong, acquiring fangirls (and/or boys), invention, belly dancing, speed texting, IQ test, Knifefight, Singing competition, leading troops, archery, snow boarding, eating contest, civilisation building, strip poker, being scary, smashing stuff, tap dancing, detective work, being a mentor, argueing on the internet, fisticuffs, playing musical instruments, eating with chopsticks, assasination, farming, captaining a star vessel, dancing, chicken kicking, staring competition, dragon slaying, dating, child raising, spaceship combat, learning magic, bear taming, hunting, being a movie action hero (as in, an actor), politeness, composing poetry, shootout, living a monk lifestyle, velociraptor chainsaw jousting, wizards duel (for fairness, a charachter who knows no magic has a month of prep time in their own universe.), surviving damage, cheerleading, pranking, stalking, dogfighting (with planes), bartending, M.M.A combat, learning a language, mud wrestling, melodrama, chess, anthropology, disk jockeying, mario kart, Hilly Billy Fencing (two by fours instead of swords), triathalon, Knitting, memory games, horseback riding, weapon of choice combat, bowling, taking over the earth, entertaining a bored child, being a drill sergeant, popularity contest, Iajitsu duel, marathon, trash talking, lying, science fair, surfing, giving relationship advice, fashion design, being a good scientist, bull riding, building robots, soldiering, sailing, Bushido, surviving a zombie apocalypse, stand up comedy, shotput, pick up artistry, spying, sniping (with guns, not auctions), fencing, being a camp supervisor, endurance juggling, becoming more powerful, ruling a nation, living longer, recon, causing chaos, hockey, mathematics, no holds barred deathmatch, being creepy, picking presents, fighting ninjas, drinking contest, handling the stress of a crisis, legal battle, and crime scene investigation, ability to behave normally when exposed to high amounts of caffeine, asteroid field navigation, cross country vehicle racing, urban vehicle racing, protecting a city, navigating a trap filled dungeon, lasting longer against an endless onslaught of demons (dungeons and dragons demons for logistical purposes), living a balanced high school life, a game of riddles, locating ancient artifacts, mediating disputes peacefully.

Taskmaster (Marvel Comics)



He's not going to lose a contest of physical technique, including art, but you might be able to overpower him in a contest of strength. He's going to fail epicly at anything social.

I want to see how far he can get.

i'll add legal battle and crime scene investigation, but i think coffee drinking competition is too similiar to eating contest.

Edit: Actually, i'll add. Ability to hold caffeine.

Captain Malcolm Reynolds.

You have chess in there twice, and I suggest some form of piloting/driving. Possibly a pentathlon of vehicles?
