So its not going to be the traditional 1v1 tournament, but 16 fighter free-for-all for each block (like Corrida Colosseum from One Piece)?
Just making sure I understand how this is going to work.

[FoolsGil]

With 64 fighters, and 4 available spots in Beers' tournament against Champa, there could be 4 brackets and 16 fighters per bracket. Or is it different?

Beerus Plan is basically to make his team the final four.

Though I suppose we could break it into 4 Brackets if we want. It depends on what everyone else wants

Oh So like 4 x 4 fights? Man that sounds even better really. and quicker too.

Well what I envisioned was more like a Tenkaichi Budokai than the Corrida Colosseum thing. 1x1 mostly.

Though perhaps the finale can be a 4 way battle.

How was this different from what I suggested?

I don't think it is different. You got it right for the most part

Now, i Do have a few ideas for Matches, but i'm gonna run them by Y'all before i put them in the list

- For the first Match, I'd like to have Doctor Gero fight one of the Saibamen and win, but in the process be damaged by acid. This is to tie in with a subplot I've had an idea for regarding Demigra and the world the tournament stands are in

- For the second match I'd like to pit T4 Cooler against T5 Frieza. I have a plan for this fight i think would be good. It involves Cooler winning

- For a later match, I was thinking Hatchiyack against T7 Bebi, With Bebi winning easily by hacking Hatchiyack. Then in the next round he faces off against T7 King Cold, Trying to beat him by summoning a ghost warrior of Frieza. It doesn't go as he plans, but he still squeaks by

-For another Match, i'm thinking T5 Gohan against T10 Yamcha

[FoolsGil]

We should probably develop a pool of everyone who's going to lose their first match, then we can figure out which winners will be in which brackets and go from there/ So far, one of the Saibaman, T5 Freeza, Hatchiyack.

On Yamcha v Gohan, well we can play it normal, Super Saiyan vs Human. It can be a really sad match, or Yamcha can bring something to the fight, that though he'll lose, it would showcase how dangerous T10 is, even to set up one of the T10 fighters later defeating a Super Saiyan or higher.

The idea behind Gohan vs Yamcha would be that both are fighters who are Very Good and fighting people that are stronger than they are. Gohan would win in the end but Yamcha is able to show that he's a tough foe.

We've seen that before. We're in a position to give readers something better than the obvious. Yes, Yamcha is going to lose match. Of course he's going to lose, he's Yamcha. So lets do something special with it instead of going par the course.

[ShadowBardock89]

Are we going to flip a coin on you wins the matches beforehand or is there going to be a few matches where we know that Character A has to win over Character B to advance the plot?

[jcogginsa]

Okay Gil

(For the Record, U10 Yamcha is at a level where he can give a good fight the Majin Buu and even have a decent shot at winning. So he's not a weakling by any stretch)

Are we going to flip a coin on you wins the matches beforehand or is there going to be a few matches where we know that Character A has to win over Character B to advance the plot?

The majority of the matches will probably be ones planned in advance. although there might be a few we can leave to chance.

One thing I think we should do is pick out who our four finalists are going to be, so that we can insure two of them don't get put in one bracket

Well, we have 14, maybe 15 Gods or similar to Gods

1. T1 Vegeta
2. T4 Bardock
3. T5 Gohan
4. T9 Garlic Junior
5. T10 Tenshinhan
6. T3 Broly
7. T3 Cell
8. T4 Cooler
9. T5 Freeza
10. T10 Master Roshi
11. T13 Tullece
12. T16 Vegeta
13. T16 Uub
14. T16 Nova Shenron
15. T16 Pan (maybe)

I wonder if we should continue this further in PMs to prevent spoilers, but we could put things to a vote.

Well if we're gonna be planning this ahead, then some spoilers are gonna be had in this thread

I should also note that i'll be reposting the story portions of this fic on at least two other websites (Fanfiction dot net and Spacebattles) so the readers there will not be aware of any spoilers we put here.

For the finalists my suggestions are
T1 Vegeta
T4 Cooler
T5 Gohan
T10 Tien

Though as always, i'm open to other suggestions

[FoolsGil]

My suggestions are:
T1 Vegeta
T5 Freeza
T13 Turles
T16 Nova Shenron

[jcogginsa]

My suggestions are:
T1 Vegeta
T5 Freeza
T13 Tullece
T16 Nova Shenron

I actually had a plan for T5 Frieza

Here it is

Spoiler:

His first match is T4 Cooler, who begins the fight by immediately rushing towards him and grabbing Frieza's head. He reads Frieza's mind in the same way Goku did to Krillin in the Namek arc. Cooler then backs away and transforms into his golden form, prompting Frieza to do that same. They fight, with Frieza being clearly stronger than Cooler. Frieza takes his time and savors the beating he's giving Cooler.

Then Cooler instantly turns the tables. He knew Frieza's Golden form was stronger, but also that Frieza hadn't realized it's weakness, so Cooler deliberately lowered his power as the fight went on, making Frieza think his own power wasn't going down. But now that Frieza's power has gone down low enough, Cooler instantly powers back up and turns the tables on his brother, giving him a "Reason you suck speech" and then killing him

What do you think

Okay that sounds good. I'll change my Freeza vote to Cooler then.

How about switching out T16 Nova Shenron for T11 Bojack?

[jcogginsa]

Cool.

I'm fine with Nova and Tullece, but i'm gonna wait for the others to give their two cents.

Mean time, I'm working out an outline for the first Chapter

How about switching out T16 Nova Shenron for T11 Bojack?

I was actually thinking that T11 wouldn't make it passed Round 1, causing Fuu to summon his full army and interrupt Round two by trying to kill Beerus (With Janemba assisting him) while everyone else is distracted with his Army.

If T11's fighters are defeated in Round 1, then it signals to Fuu that his men are not ready to tackle other timelines, let alone Beerus. He would look at Bojack, Android 13, Hatchiyack, and Garlic Jr. with disappointment (along with Dr. Raichi, who let Hatchiyack get hacked by Baby according to your suggestion) and, with a cracked smile, would say "It seems your training was.... insufficient." (which sends a cold sweat down the faces of his entire army). With this assessment data, he would gauge the next benchmarks for the REST of his men to break with a more severe training regiment.

I see.

Fair enough. Though just so you know, my plan called for Fuu to have an incredibly badass moment XD
