Sorry, but this just looks really confusing to me.

For me, it's not lack of interest, but lack of time. I'll try to post my thoughts later tonight.

Ohhhhhhh. I should have been nicer. My fault. Have all the time you need!

I can see this being confusing. Sorry.

So much for that statement.....

Let me explain. In the season finale of "The Flash", Flash completely beats Zoom, %100. Then Flash travels back in time and defeats the Reverse-Flash, no problem. I think that Flash proved that he is faster than both Zoom and Reverse-Flash. Zoom is still powerful enough to be ranked 1 though.

This also proves my logic on why I think a 4 ranked character will win it all.

I'm tired and still pressed for time. But let's see if I can at least do my thoughts for your first cluster.

#7 Heat Wave vs #10 MC Cave Spider
#2 Magneto vs #15 Lily Munster

Mario would easily beat the Minecraft zombie. Probably without even noticing. Just another "Buzzy Beetle" or "Little Goomba" to jump off to get to the castle.... MARIO WINS!

Magikoopa vs. Black Bird... this could be a tougher match. If Magikoopa was in the blast radius he would be defeated... but he has an annoying tendency to teleport when threatened. If Black Bird missed, then he's out completely. MAGIKOOPA WINS!

Knuckles... the echidna, I presume? Vs. a master spy... Knuckles may have speed, but Bond's got the always cool Aston Martin. Style and speed beats those high-tops any day. JAMES BOND WINS!

Gandalf vs. Eddie Munster? Is this even a challenge? One crack of that staff to the head, and Eddie's running to tell daddy. GANDALF WINS!

As for the match up between Tails and Toad... if this were Captain Toad it might be more interesting. Just a regular Toad from the Toadstool Kingdom, though, and all Tails would have to do is pick him up and drop him off a cliff. Challenge over! TAILS WINS!

Iron Golem vs. Grandpa Munster could be an interesting match-up. Grandpa could certainly outsmart the golem... but for him to come up with a plan to actually do anything to the golem would be a stroke of luck in his case. While there is a chance he could develop some sort of rusting potion, I think the odds are in favor of the tenacity of the golem. IRON GOLEM WINS!

Heat Wave... I don't know who that is, unless we're talking about the Transformer. And I doubt that's the case. So I'll stick with what I know. MINECRAFT SPIDER WINS!

Magneto vs. Lily Munster.... Although Erik's powers wouldn't be directly effective on Lily, the matriarch of the Munsters has all the offensive capabilities of a kitten. Magneto could probably utilize a lot of the things in the house against her, actually. There's a lot of metal pans and knives in that kitchen.... MAGNETO WINS!

... things aren't looking good for the Munster family.

Oh, and because I've been wanting to write this one since I read the match-ups....

#2 Reverse-Flash vs #15 Pinky & The Brain

The Brain: Pinky, are you pondering what I'm pondering?
Pinky: I think so, Brain. But how will we get the long underwear back off the monkey?
TB: No, you nitwit. We enter this competition to prove that we are the greatest super heroes of Earth. Then everyone will follow our commands for the purposes of their own safety! Between my knowledge and your savvy with comic books, we'll be invincible!
P: That's brilliant! Oh, wait, what if we come across some actual super heroes like Captain Underpants?
TB: I don't think that's likely to happen. All right, who's our first opponent?
P: Erm... looks like Reverse Flash.
TB: Reverse Flash? Is that what happens when you put a blacklight into a camera?
P: No, Brain. He's one of the Flash's villains. From DC Comics.
TB: Oh, right. A Warner Brothers subsidiary.
P: Right. So he's part of our universe, too! Narf!
TB: Precisely. Well, no matter. We'll simply defeat him in the same way this Flash character has defeated him. If all else fails, I'll create a device to absorb all the kinetic energy in the room, and we'll force him to stand still. Victory is at hand, Pinky!

Or if jumping doesn't work Mario could always use his Super Mario 64 moves to punch and kick the zombie.

Oh and Zap just wondering, how come are we doing matches like a #1 guy VS a #16 guy? Why couldn't we do something like #15 VS #16 or #1 VS #2? That would make the battles more interesting and much less 1 sided.

It may be similar to the way they work out the brackets in actual sporting events. I'm not sure how they determine those at first, but it's the reason why you don't typically see last year's champions going at it for the first game of the season. They mix it up to keep things interesting.

Besides, at this point it is the time to sort out the losers who have little chance of success... as well as introduce some surprising upsets for the "underdog story." The more interesting matches will come later.

The only bracket template I could find uses the rank match ups of the NCAA, and I could not figure out how to change them.

Time for me to get out my other computer (the one that has the bracket) and enter some picks!

Toad has some limited powerups, but that would probably not effect your reasoning. Toad: "What is happening to me!!!!!!"
Heat Wave uses a handheld flamethrower, but MC Cave Spider is fast enough to dodge it. Plus, poison hurts.

Your picks and mine are already starting to differ. I like the diversity! (I hope that I get lucky somehow, I have a 4 ranked character winning the whole thing )

I like where Pinky and The Brain are going with their idea. Some assembly required though. Lets see if they can get it assembled fast enough before getting beat to a pulp

I will attempt to post some information about the remaining characters soon, so you know the abilities of each character.

I have been reading your battle summaries, Sstavix, and I keep cracking up !!!

One point though: If Pinky and The Brain managed to invent their device, what would stop it form taking away their kinetic energy as well? Another problem to overcome I guess. I feel a major upset incoming.

Anyway, I will give some descriptions of the characters in the next chunk.

Bowser: Fire breathing beast. Enemy of Mario. Strong, but slow and somewhat dumb.
MC Silverfish: Little, weak, and slow insect from Minecraft.
Clone Trooper: Republic troops in the Clone Wars. Laser guns.
Boo. Ghost from Mario series. Stands still when looked at. High defense, but can only hurt you if it bumps you.
Dr. Eggman. Enemy of Sonic. Controls electronic systems.
MC Spider: Larger, stronger and faster than MC Silverfish. Still weak compared to other characters.
Rosilina. Honestly, I don't understand why she is ranked 4. JIL probably has some information.
Bob the Tomato. Talking vegetable. Minimal offensive power. Smart.
Captain America. Stronger and faster than other humans. Uses a throwable shield for defense and attacks.
Larry the Cucumber. Another talking vegetable. Minimal offensive power. Somewhat clumsy (falls into the sink on occasion).
Stormtrooper. Imperial troops. Similar to clone troopers. Laser guns.
Yellow Bird. Angry bird. Very fast, throws himself at enemy pigs. Breaks wood easily.
Luigi. Similar to Mario, tend to freak out more often though. Gets scared easily.
Koopa Troopa. Walking turtle-like enemy from Mario series. Hides in shell if jumped on.

There you go! Since you are the only other person interested in making picks, after we finish your round 1 picks we can do round 2 picks and so on if you would like.

On JIL's question, I think that the point is that you would not want a rank 1 team and a rank 14 team facing off in a regional final. It would be a big blowout. You can either have underdogs in the first round (which people like), or equal and bland games at the start, then semi-interesting games, then a big blowout for the regional final, then more semi-interesting games between 1s and 2s to finish the bracket.

I'm hoping that others vote and/or chime in as to who they think would win the match-ups. I'm of the mindset that majority rule applies here, so my choices may not necessarily be the ones moving on!

What makes Pinky & The Brain so amusing is that often the Brain will just be on the edge of seeing his plan succeed... and then something will happen to cause it to fail. Case in point, check out this episode (the Pinky & the Brain segment begins at 8:19 - it's a classic, where the Brain decides to take over the world by putting subliminal messages in country music. ) So I would expect them to make it almost to the end... but never, ever winning the whole thing!

And if you haven't seen any of the Animaniacs, the entire series is now on Netflix. A lot of the jokes are quite dated now, but still hilarious to watch. Especially the episodes with Slappy the Squirrel. You're welcome.

As for this matchup, I'm thinking that they would have a way to activate the machinery while outside the room... or possibly arrange it to only affect beings touching the floor, while they stick safely to the counters and shelves. In any case, Pinky - being a pop culture junky - could tell Brain what worked in the comics, and Brain could adapt it to fit this specific situation accordingly. (Also note - since they're all Warner Brothers characters, they technically are in the same universe. In fact, Batman, Penguin and Catwoman all have made cameo appearances in Animaniacs, as has Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote. In the world of the Animaniacs, the "fourth wall" is punched so full of holes that sometimes it doesn't even exist. )

She hasn't demostrated her powers a whole lot, but from what I've seen she can be pretty strong if nature calls for it. She lives on a spaceship out in the middle of nowhere. How she travels though is amazing, she uses the powers of the power stars to transform her ship into a comet and go at super fast speeds. The spaceship is pretty much immune at this point, blasting through Bowser's airships as if there just annoying toys. She also has a special powerup star that allows the user to fly for a limited time. Even without the star Rosalina can also fly, but for most of the time she just floats. She can also produce a temporary force field to block damage. She can also spin attack like Mario does in the Galaxy series. Most of her power takes star Power Stars and Grand Stars to use and if lost she can be pretty hopeless.

I think for the purposes of this bracket her force field can only be used every so often, and she can use lumas to attack in different and sneaky ways.

I hope this clears it up.

I haven't pitched into this conversation because I've been watching to see how it actually works. Now that I've seen a little bit, I can say something.
Silverfish aren't that weak, not really. When one is attacked, don't others appear and assist? One alone, yes it's a useless attempt. Many is a different story. (Remember the example the head grasshopper used at their base when explaining how one ant isn't a problem by tossing a seed at his henchmen? Remember how they reacted as the entire bottle was emptied?)
My blockheaded opinion is I'm thinking silverfish somehow might actually have a chance...

I think everyone was thinking of a single mob going up to fight, not multiple of the same mob.

There is some info on Rosilina!

The only time that 2 characters are working together is Pinky and The Brain. They aren't really powerful on their own. If there were multiple silverfish they would be ranked much higher.

These are your picks on who you would think would win . The actual winners are decided with a poll after all picks are submitted.
