Board 8 > The no-repeat-characters rule is lame.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Any big character will be stuck with their main nemesis, Mario with Bowser, Link with Ganon, etc. No Mario vs. Wario or Mario RPG recurring bosses. We only get Metaknight or Dedede.

Saves us from Link vs. Ganondorf and Link vs. Dark Link in the finals, at least.

You can put Wario vs Captain Syrup if you want Wario in.

LOL!!!! I hope that's a joke....names don't get more n00bish than that

I was thinking it'd be funny if we could flood the nominations to end up causing something really weird to happen.

Like say we got enough Zelda/Ganondorf nominations so that Ganon was stuck with Zelda rather than Link. Then Link gets some other random rival instead. That example is a bit unrealistic since Link/Ganon is gonna have a ton of nominations, but I'm sure there's something amusing that could be done.

No amount of planning will ever replace dumb luck.

No it's a great rule and if it wasn't in place this contest would have zero potential

This brings up a good point. Say Sonic/Robotnik is the 12th most nominated pair, but Sonic/Knuckles is the 10th most. Sonic obviously gets paired up with Knuckles, but what about Robotnik. Does he still get in with his next highest rival or does he simply get eliminated unless another pair he's in gets enough votes? It seems somewhat unfair that so many people voted him in, but he still gets snubbed, albeit I guess the presence of people being able to nominated multiple pairs negates this somewhat.
