Welcome to the 1st annual Ultimate Character Tournament!  I'm [[User:Ralphfan|Ralphfan]], and I'll be your host.  What is the tournament?  It's a series of polls in a bracket to determine the best character from the Mario, Sonic, Kirby, DK, Zelda, Banjo, and Conker games!  Right now, we're in the planning stages.  Meetings are held every week at #ralphchat, but you'll have to use Userpedia, Darkmyst, Mibbit, mIRC, or Chatzilla, etc., because the MW Applet doesn't work for my chat.  Meetings are finished; the bracket is set! We are also [http://forum.mariowiki.com/index.php?topic=5149.0 on the forum]!

We began [[Mario (series)|Mario]] and got about halfway through because we ran long.  We got through every game from Jumpman to SMRPG.  We're going in chronological order by when the games were released.  MG1 was there for most of the meeting; Tehchomps was very active as well; Packy was there for a good chunk of time; SMB, SLNO, and Yoshario also pitched in.  Hopefully, we'll finish Mario next week, but I have the feeling it will go into November 4th's meeting.

We did final touch-ups, covered SSB, and began seeding, but we didn't get much done, due to the World Series and people not really wanting to pay attention.  However, I was able to work with a few users during the week, so we were able to make progress nonetheless.<br>

For seeding, we have 222 characters.  To narrow it down to 128, we will need to eliminate 94 of them.  Therefore, 34 of the entrants are being given first-round byes and will advance directly to the second round.  The next 94 will be matched up against the bottom 94.

MG1, SMB, Tucky, SLNO, and Noah helped organize the bracket. Because of the number of characters, 25 characters get byes, or free passes, to the second round. They have been placed throughout the bracket.  We plan to open the first round of the tournament on January 6th or 13th.

==FAQs==
We know you guys will ask these questions, so here they are, along with answers!
 
'''Where the hell is Mario/Sonic/Luigi/Bowser?'''<br>
Because they're so popular, and we have a weird number of entrants, the 25 most popular entrants were given a bye, a free pass to Round 2.
