Versus Threads

Introduction

The main purpose of the wiki falls under indexing characters, though as a side activity for fun, we allow one to do versus threads for the character profiles they made or others have made. This is primarily for ways to discuss interesting topics. However, due to the normally toxic nature of these topics from certain communities, there are guidelines that we need to stress and must be followed.

What Classifies As An Official Versus Match

Versus Matches are normally considered to be a "who will win in a fight?" however, this isn't every versus match.

These are the following official match types we allow to be put onto a characters' profile:

• Out of verse Character vs Character: The most popular form of a versus match, where two characters from different versus fight to see which is stronger.

• In-verse Character vs Character Matches: A secondary popular form of versus matches, where two characters from within the verse battle, note that the ones allowed are under specific stipulations to make them interesting or if they haven't already happened in verse (Examples: Hit vs Jiren without Tournament of Power Rules, Demi-fiend vs Akemi Nakajima and Yumiko Shirasagi)

• Investigation Matches: These are matches to deal with fictional characters popular for being detectives getting into battle with each other. Unlike the last two threads where they are fighting to see who wins, they are instead solving an investigation and seeing who can do it first or finding out something about the person. A very popular example regarding this is a detective trying to find out Kira (Light Yagami)'s identity.

• Race Matches: These are matches where a characters speed matters the most, this mainly goes under people who fall under the speedsters category, though characters with vehicles, ships, and animals can also used in these matches.

• Object vs Verse Matches: This will likely be the rarest. This is normally that one sets up an object against notable characters in a verse and decide on if they'd go through the mechanics the object does or not. As an example, The Switch from OFF erases everything once it's turned OFF, for a thread example one could ask "Would these notable characters survive the Switch" and list the notable characters of the verse. The notable character limit should normally be around five characters.

• Gauntlets: These are matches that are a continuous challenge, fighting a specific number of contestants, such as someone fighting an entire family.

• Other Interesting Matches: Normally there are dozens of other interesting thread topics that can be done, though it will need to be seen by a mod to see if it can be officially accepted as a thread that can be put onto the profiles or not.

Regarding Verdicts

• The winner will be determined by the side having better arguments, normally this means in-depth elaboration but for versus threads where it's a very simple explanation one-word answers are allowed, though do not be surprised if they're contested. This also means someone cannot simply say the characters name or "X wins" without giving reason unless they are doing a FRA vote for an earlier argument in the thread.

• For a verdict, there must be at least five votes in favor of one character/team. If both votes are tied, then the thread will be considered inconclusive.

Rules

General Rules

• Toxicity in threads are not allowed, while debates getting slightly heated is not surprising with the topics it is expected that both sides are mature in the debate and throw no insults to the other side.

• Any form of mental breakdowns, temper tantrums, tangents, rants, in versus threads over a character losing will not be tolerated. These are fictional characters and we expect all people to come into the thread acknowledging that.

• Don't bait people into making heated responses.

• Do not make Spite Threads, these are against the rules and can lead to block if this rule is broken more then once or broken with the acknowledgment of the rule.

• Original Poster (OP) is allowed to vote on their own thread as long as they make a good argument for the character they're supporting.

Battle Rules

• Make sure to thoroughly examine the fundamental data and powers of each profiles before making a versus thread. This prevents threads from turning into needlessly lengthy and saves users the hassle of getting to absolutely give an explanation for each individual's powers and talents for every and each thread.

• If no other specifications are stated for the match, standard battle assumptions will be considered.

• Even if a character has the potential to reach a certain tier, the use of any tier between that tier and the one it scales to is not allowed. For example, characters with Varies' or 5-B to 2-C would not be assumed to be able to fight in a 4-B as that's not listed on the profile.

• Characters who have shown resistance to time-stopping abilities are assumed to be resistant to time-slowing abilities by default, asides from specific situations where this is treated differently.

• One is allowed to have characters fight above or below their tier as long as the matchup has a wincon.
