The Ultimate Showdown is a game that needs some input before it can
begin next Friday.
You've probably seen versions of it before - it's been done at
various sci-fi cons, and probably more well known is Celebrity
Deathmatch - the TV show version. Also, see http://www.weebls-
stuff.com/toons/ultimate+showdown/ , or not if you don't like cartoon
violence :-)

Our version will be comparitivuely low budget, no animation or
claymation (feel free to bring your play-dough if you really want to
though).

What we do is pit characters against characters, from all different
series, stories and universes in the Ultimate Showdown. On the night
we will periodically call a vote between two randomly picked
characters and see who wins. It could be chosen by likeliness, or by
popularity - it's all up to the vote.

So before then we need to choose the contestants. Choose your
favourite characters from anywhere!
Since there is a probability thatsome entrants will need to be culled
to create the correct number for a tournament follow these guidleines;
Entrants should be preferably heard of, even if you don't know the
series well (ie no minor characters)
A balance of Good and Evil is preferable, a variety of genders,
backgrounds etc. will be aimed for.

But for now just suggest characters, the more the better. I'll set a
limit closer to the date when we have a good idea of the size it
should reach.
I'll also post a few suggestions later to help give you some ideas.
