Special Character Rumble Nominations 9/26/2018

What is this?

If you've been a regular at /r/characterrant you might know what this is. Moving forward we're going to have a stickied WWW post of a standard one on one matchup. There will be a nominations post where users like yourself can submit up to three matchups with details on the specifics of the rounds.

For examples of what CharacterRumble was on in /r/characterrant, feel free to look here, here, and here.

What we're looking for are submissions that are

  • Detailed and present interesting scenarios. Just putting in Batman vs. Captain America is boring, but giving them a unique challenge is going to catch our notice.

  • Contain easily researchable information for both characters (e.e. respect threads).

  • Are competitive and inspire debate

  • Thoughtfully constructed (you get noticed more easily if you include things like location, conditions, etc.)

Want some examples of great submissions? Look here, here, and here. You don't have to format your matches in tables, but it won't hurt.

In this nominations thread, feel free to comment on submissions that you think could foster good discussion or critique on how they could be improved.

After this, we'll go over the submissions and pick 1-3 of them (depending on how many are submitted to this thread) to be stickied in the next weekly CharacterRumble.
