Before we continue, here's a few things you guys might want to know so you aren't in the darkā¦
Question 1: What the heck is UVR?
Answer: The UVR is a popular crossover votefic that inspired the Megamix Tournament in the first place. The MMT isn't the first spinoff, either. There have been several spinoffs created.
Question 2: Swee-Koh-Den? What is that?
Answer: Suikoden is an RPG franchise, and my favourite one at that. Most UVR spinoffs are restricted to only fighting games, but because I wanted to make mine different, I'm including RPG's as well.
Question 3: What are 'Big Guys'?
Answer: Big Guys are one of two things: Boss characters or people that are just really big. For each Big Guy in the ring at a time, one extra fighter will get eliminated at the end of the section. For example, Chang Koehan, Sagat, Earthquake and Bowser all get into the arena. Instead of the usual fifteen fighters getting eliminated, nineteen will get the boot instead.
Question 4: How do the elimination counts go?
Answer: The top fifteen fighters in each section will get at one elimination, no matter if they survive the section or not. However, if there's a Big Guy in the ring, the top fighter will get two eliminations instead of just one. So if there are four Big Guys, the top four fighters will get two eliminations.
Question 5: How does fatigue matter?
Answer: It doesn't matter how strong they are. Everyone gets tired after a while. So for every section a fighter survives, one automatic 'die' vote is given to them at the beginning of the next section, making their survival that much harder. For example, Ryu has survived for four sections and Ken has survived for three. At the beginning of the next section, Ryu will have four automatic 'die' votes and Ken will have three.
Question 6: How do I vote?
Answer: You can do two things to vote. You can fill out a voteform and post it in your review, if you want. Or you can go to my site, click on the 'voteform' button and drop me an e-mail with a filled-out voteform. You must give out fifteen 'live'votes for the people you want to see survive the section, and fifteen 'die' votes for the people you want to see get eliminated. If there's an uneven amount, I'll even them out myself.
Also note that there are side matches going on outside the arena with each section. If there, are, simply say whom you'll like to see win the side matches.
Question 7: Wait. This is your SECOND tournament? Where's the first?
Answer: I never posted it here. If you wanna see the first tournament, you can check it out at my site.
Question 8: What are 'The Fallout Shelter' and 'Fort Ticonderoga'?
Answer: Those are two message boards I visit. I thought that having audience participation would give me a few more votes, so I held sign-ups to let some of those guys in. However, because Fort Ticonderoga is smaller, I only got three people, and thus, I'll be merging them with the TFS gang.
