-Matches will last exactly 24 hours. Votes after that much time has elapsed will not be counted, even if a new topic hasn't gone up yet.
-This is a contest to determine which character is the most *powerful*. Vote only for the character you think would win in a fight, not the one who's funnier, cooler, or sexier. If you don't do that I can't count your vote.
-BOLD YOUR VOTE. Unbolded votes will NOT be counted.
-Rallying is allowed. Alts are not.
-Fights will take place in a neutral terrain. This does not necessarily mean a *featureless* terrain: assume that both characters will have a chance to use all of their skills to the fullest here, barring setting-specific abilities and anything that requires the presence of multiple enemies (but see below).
-Characters start the fight alone. They don't bring allies with them, like Kerrigan and the Zerg Swarm for instance. Summons are allowed though, provided they're brought once combat has started.
-Fighters retain their usual personalities. They won't fight to kill unless that's their MO, and won't spam their best attacks to win unless, again, that's how they act in their original media.
-Similarly, fighters are unaware of their opponents capabilities at the start of the fight unless their powers facilitate them information (like knowing all there is to know in the universe - this would include who the opponent is and what he can do, as well as weaknesses)
-You don't have to justify your vote, but it helps. If you feel like you can add something to the debate, go right ahead!
-Seriously, BOLD THE VOTE. So important it bears repeating.

Past Results:
As expected, the battle between contest powerhouses Yuki Nagato and Super Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann was a titanic clash. Though nearly equal in votes as it came down to the final minutes, in the end Nagato managed to do the impossible, and put down the spiral power wielding Gurren Lagann in the closest battle of the season so far. Now, the Witch/Time division is hers for the taking. Votals: 17-16
(1) Laharl
From Disgaea, Laharl is the youngest Overlord in the cosmos. Selfish and arrogant, Laharl's level of 1500 (in Disgaea terms, levels and stats are actual, tangible concepts) places him on a high power tier, among the strongest beings in the universe after the Overlord Baal; He is known for his feat of destroying a fleet of 2 million spaceships in 10 minutes – without killing a soul. In a bad ending of Disgaea 2, he destroys the planet he is fighting on out of sheer annoyance.
Laharl's techniques include Blazing Knuckle (jumps into the air and landing on the foe in a burst of mana and fire), Overlord's Wrath (summons hundreds of energy balls that rain down on his target), and Meteor Impact (summons a large meteor Laharl then rides on). Laharl used to be weak to positive thinking, kindness, and large breasts; he has since overcome these weaknesses, though he can still be knocked off-guard by them.
