Go ayn, you know video game characters well enough now to decide who would win in a fight. I suggest we have a vote and whittle it down to who' s the daddy. Hopefully we won' t get the most popular character but one who really would destroy all others in a brawl.

Er, we need to build up a list though. Everyone post away characters you think would win in a fight then I' ll devise a way of sorting out rounds and we all vote for characters. I' ve seen it done on other forums so it should be easy enough to remember... I hope.

Here' s a few to get started. Post the game the character comes from too just for people who don' t know

Duke Nukem - Duke Nukem 3D
Solid Snake - Metal Gear Solid
Sam Fisher - Splinter Cell
Ryu - Street Fighter
Zangief - Street Fighter
Nightmare - Soul Calibur
Scorpian - Mortal Kombat
Donky Kong - Donky Kong
Bowser - Super Mario
Cloud - FFVII
Akira - Virtua Fighter
Bass - Dead or Alive

Post away

scropion vs ryu WINNER IS RYU

Aoi - Virtua Fighter 3 & 4
Pai - Virtua Fighter
Hibana - Kunoichi (Nightshade)

Elta - Magician Lord

heres 2 characters that need to go at it
Pac Man and Kirby

but ppl who I think could own the floor overall?

47 (Hitman)
Roman (Armed and Dangerous)
Master Cheif (Halo)
Riddick (CoR)
Blood Rayne (Bloodrayne)
Ash (Evil Dead:Fistful of Boomstick)
Max Payne (Max Payne)
Jame Earl Cash (Manhunt)
Ryu (Ninja Gaiden)
Nick Scryer (Psi-Ops)
Ivy (Soul Caliber)
Torque (The Suffering)

I dont really wanna add in super heros, I really didnt wanna use movie characters neither but I couldnt resist throwing in Ash and Riddick

Sonic wins.

All those who disagree are wrong.

What about Mario? Mario would be such a kick-ass boss. Remb in Donkey Kong Jr. How he imprisoned DK. I also loved that cover for the game. That was awesome. Mario looked all mad and stuff. He is kinda a bad guy sometimes. I love the way Mario Looks when he is mad or angry. You can feel his anger.

its me mario!!!!!!!!!

Ryo Hazuki (Shenmue) wins

Serious Sam, of course! All those weapons AND the ability to beat the sh** out of any creature with his hands...just announce him the winner now.

Sonic is really only good for running away...

Sam Fisher, he' s hard as nails.

What the heck? Mario and Pac Man and Kirby? Those are weak fun little creatures that would get their *****' s beat by hardcore characters like Spiderman and Onimusha and Sam Fisher and all...

Samanosuke(Onimusha)
Bass(Megaman Battle Network)

Cant think of anyone else at this time

Okay. I' ve collected all the characters together and it' s fight time. There is 36 overall but if there are any late additions I' ll sort something out for them. In the interest of fairness I' ve drawn each character out at random with my very sophisticated random drawing technique (by naming characters 1 to 36, writing down each number on a piece of paper, putting them in a bag and finally picking out numbers two numbers at a time). I have to say, some of the brackets are looking very odd but it was the luck of the draw. Here goes:
