Alright, here's the idea. I think it'll be work, and it'll be fun to see who is considered the Ultimate Videogame Badass by the members of UM.

Step One: Nominate your favourite videogame characters. Anyone, really. And as many as you like. Once there are enough characters nominated, i'll pick the most popular 32 characters and pit them randomly against each other, kinda like a deathmatch.

Step Two: When the battles have been posted, you can vote by choosing one of the characters to win the battle. So, for example, if Mario was pitted against Sonic, you would vote for Mario or Sonic. Eventually after enough votes, we'll move to the next round and the winners will again be randomly pitted against each other until there will only be one left.
