Here we are ladies and gents, the first round of the tournament is under way!!! I went ahead and created a (mostly) randomized bracket as I didn't really want to have my biases ranking characters and forcing matchups down your throats. I'll create a new thread for each round, prolly leave voting up for 3-4 days and chances for people to make arguments for their favorite characters. Here are the first round matchups. I went ahead and gave a brief desciption for each character as well as providing a clip that shows them at their best.
