User blog:ZackAttackX/Video Game World Cup Signups

Hey everyone, Zack here.

In commemoration of the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia (congrats to France on their victory btw!), I'm going to do something very similar - the Video Game World Cup! The format is very similar to the actual World Cup, but for those who do not follow football/soccer, allow me to break down the rules:
 * 1) 16 combatants will be entered and will be separated into 4 groups of 4. (Normally, this would be 32 being separated into 8 groups, but that'd be mental!)
 * 2) Each combatant in the group will battle each other one.
 * 3) The outome of each match will be based on your votes - the winning combatant gets 3 points, the losing combatant gets 0 points, and if there is a tie, both combatants get one point each.
 * 4) If combatants have the same amount of points, their ranking in the group is determined by their vote difference (points for - points against). The combatant with the higher vote difference will be higher ranked.
 * 5) The top two characters from each group get moved to the knockout stages.

As for the rules of this tournament:
 * 1) Only characters that originated from video games will be accepted. Characters from other media that have video game adaptations are not permitted, though characters introduced specifically in the video game will be permitted.
 * 2) Please state the series your nomination is from when nominating - this helps avoid confusion.
 * 3) Only one nomination per user (though this may change if there are very few nominations).
 * 4) Only one character per series.
 * 5) No sockpuppets - any signs of sockpuppetting will result in an immediate 7-0 defeat to that character.
 * 6) Please do not get upset or salty if your favourite character loses - this tournament is only for fun, so don't be disheartened.

With that, nominate away!
