Once again, before I continue, I'll answer a few questions for the people that aren't familiar with the tournament or how it works:
Question 1: What is the "Ultimate Video Rumble"?
Answer: The Ultimate Video Rumble (or UVR for short) is a popular votefic that combines many fighting game franchises and puts them into a big tournament setting. Unfortunately, all of the sites that held the archives of the tournaments have since gone down.
Question 2: What's "Suikoden"?
Answer: A popular RPG series, and one of my favourites. I always want to have some representation in my tournaments, only this one has representation from all three of the first three games.
Question 3: What are "Big Guys" and how do they affect voting?
Answer: Big Guys are one of two things: Boss characters or people that are just really big. For each Big Guy in the ring at a time, one extra fighter will get eliminated at the end of the section. For example, Chang Koehan, Sagat, Captain Qwark and Bowser all get into the arena. Instead of the usual fifteen fighters getting eliminated, nineteen will get the boot instead.
Question 4: How do the eliminations work?
Answer: The top fifteen fighters in each section will get at one elimination, no matter if they survive the section or not. However, if there's a Big Guy in the ring, the top fighter will get two eliminations instead of just one. So if there are four Big Guys, the top four fighters will get two eliminations.
Question 5: What's this "Fatigue" you speak of?
Answer: It doesn't matter how strong they are. Everyone gets tired after a while. So for every section a fighter survives, one automatic 'die' vote is given to them at the beginning of the next section, making their survival that much harder. For example, Ryu has survived for four sections and Ken has survived for three. At the beginning of the next section, Ryu will have four automatic 'die' votes and Ken will have three.
Question 6: How do I vote?
Answer: You can vote easily. You can fill out a voteform and post it in your review, if you want. You must give out fifteen 'live' votes for the people you want to see survive the section, and fifteen 'die' votes for the people you want to see get eliminated. If there's an uneven amount, I'll even them out myself.
Also note that there are side matches going on outside the arena with each section. If there, are, simply say whom you'll like to see win the side matches.
Question 7: Why are there so many franchise that aren't from fighting games?
Answer: That's what sets my tournaments apart from the UVR: I don't limit myself to fighting games. Just because you don't see them in a fighting game doesn't mean that they can't fight, after all.
Question 8: You have fan-fighters in the last tournament. Will there be any here?
Answer: No. I got a good amount of bad rep for including fan-fighters in the last tournament, and the purpose was defeated in the end because by the end of the second tournament, I had stopped going to the place those fan-fighters came from. So here, I'm limiting myself to fictional characters.
