The Ultimate Fighting Video Game Deadly Contest
Which imaginary brawler is the toughest? You decide.
The recent arrival of Mortal Kombat X got us thinking: which video game characters would be able to beat up which other video game characters?
This question has never satisfactorily been answered, so we thought we'd throw it open to you, the insightful general public, to decide.
The contest takes the form of a tournament, with four stages: round one (16 characters), quarter finals (8 characters), semi-finals (you get the idea), and the final.
All you need to do is use your imagination and your expertise to work decide which of the fighters in these matches would be victorious if they were real people with hopes and dreams.
[UPDATE] Round 1 is out of the way, with Blizzard, Hulk, Ivy, Raphael, Scorpion, Jin, and Akira, and The Rock triumphing over their weaker rivals in a public vote to the death.
The draw for round 2 is...Get voting!
