Second Annual Character Tourney: Round One

[starlightstorm]

After thinking it over (and taking some good advice), I decided the best way to conduct the tourney is to post it here and advertise it on tenipuri -- that way, people who want to can just click a link and bop over here to vote. :D

We're drawing from a pool of 128 names (some of whom I have no idea who they are) and thus seven rounds like a real Grand

OOF, renji v. gen-chan. that one hurt.

why do i not know who half these people are? oh dear. ^_^;;;;;;;;

[starlightstorm]

I think that was one of the hardest ones for me, too. ;;

I don't know who half of them are, either, if it's any consolation. When I ran out of names of people I knew, I went over to FET to get names of people I didn't. ^^;;

[lanerose]

XD That probably explains why I was hitting up Wikipedia to figure out who they were. XD

[willowscry]

Yes, it did. *cries* I'm still pulling for Renji getting a few more votes and actually making it, but...I don't that have that much hope for him. Everyone loves fukubucho more

[fire_ban]

WHUT. BANE V KANEDA? HAZUE V ATSUSHI?

...haha, Baker v Shudou. XD

Pfft, Niou vs exbuchou. >_>; Silver boy better pwn ass, or I will laugh at him lots be sad. :E

[fire_ban]

Oh, yeah. >_>; And Renji v Sanada was nasty, too. How can you choose between the buchoubodyguardpair?

[starlightstorm]

So interesting to see which matchups people find difficult XD

He seems to have a unanimous vote so far. I mean, it's Niou. XD

[fire_ban]

But, THE LONG-SUFFERING PARTNERS OF RAGE AND PUNS. And Hazue is just cute, but I love Kisa2, also. D:

It's also rikkai exbuchou.. XD;; Of all the mangacanon!people for people not to have the slightest clue about, he's totally the one.

[the_queen_s]

Woa! Sanada vs. Renji and Kaidoh vs. Marui were hard to decide~

[arushiraoi]

..having me deciding between Dan and Mommy Shinji was cruel ToT I'm very sorry, Dan! T_T
I purposely voted against Ryoma, because it would be hilarous if he got eliminated in the first round xD;; not like it's possible xD;

[starlightstorm]

It's certainly possible in a tournament like this, when it all comes down to fangirl love and not actual canon skill. XD maybe round two?

[arushiraoi]

unfortunately, I see the 'voting against' thing really popular here, when it is an unknown or not loved charecter vs. well known one, all haters of that popular one will vote for the second xD; like my vote for Arai was against Echizen xD;

[feuillu]

All these people I don't know who they are, and there are still plenty of matchups I actually had to chooose between. This poll doesn't look like it's going to go my way... ^^;

[starlightstorm]

Anything's possible. XD;
Even an unknown making it to the finals. It's not likely, of course, but it all depends on how the names come out of the bowl ~
