Top 2 get in everyday, I'm not picky whch category gets them. Could be 2 DPS, 1 tank and support, whatever you want.

If you describe their playstyle, I´ll give ya 0.5 upvotes, which basically means you´ll get priority in ties. Otherwise off to Google surveys for you good sir.

Characters must be owned by Microsoft or heavily associated/featured with Xbox

Franchises! How about 2 per franchise but the characters must belong to different classes. Get creative with it.

As always with my rosters, I like to keep some spaces locked away for the characters who got a lot of votes but still couldn't quite make that cut. This time it'll be for one each category.

And also no being a dick.

Also arenas are now a thing that will be brought on specific days.

Arenas should be based on locations, environments or settings from Xbox/Microsoft-associated games and franchises.

They don't have to come from a franchise represented by a playable character. Get creative with it.

Also the same 0.5+ rule applies to stages that describe their objective/gameplay mechanic.

For anyone unfamiliar, Taskmaster is a British comedy show where five contestants are given a bunch of weird tasks and compete to earn points. The tasks are often intentionally vague, so contestants have to rely on creativity, lateral thinking and loopholes to get ahead. Ultimately, though, the Taskmaster's word is law and he gives out the points however he sees fit.

The Taskmaster is the all-powerful ruler of the competition. They judge every task, decide how many points everyone gets, and can interpret the rules however they please. Their authority is absolute, and arguing with them is generally a terrible idea.

The Taskmaster's Assistant is the person who works directly with the contestants. They explain and supervise the tasks, keep an eye out for rule-breaking, and report the results back to the Taskmaster. They're generally the more sympathetic presence, although they can still be very deadpan when dealing with complete chaos.

1. Any video game character is eligible. Protagonists, villains, NPCs, mascots, creatures, etc. are all fair game.

2. Different versions of the same character count as the same character. For example, you can't nominate Mario and Mario from a specific spin-off as separate contestants.

3. Nominate characters based on how entertaining they'd be on Taskmaster, rather than how powerful, skilled or intelligent they are in their own games.

4. The character must be fictional and originate from a video game. (No I see you trying to nominate Taskmaster from Spiderman PS4, it's a bad joke!)

5. No downvoting.

6. Franchises may only have 1 representative. There's only 5 competitors, let's have some fun with variety.

The Taskmaster and Assistant will be chosen separately from the five contestants. They don't need to be the most powerful or important characters, they just need to fit their respective roles.

Final Roster:

Pokémon - Chandelure, Giovanni

Metroid - Ridley, Samus

Famicon Detective Club - Emio

Mario - Fawful, Bowser

Legend of Zelda - Skull Kid, Ganondorf

Earthbound - Porky

Kirby - 0²

Kid Icarus - Medusa

Eternal Darkness - Alexandra Roivas

Geist - John Raimi

Fire Emblem - Petrine, Hans

Starfox - Leon Powalski

Xenoblade - Metal Face

Third Party - Dante (Capcom), Conker (Microsoft), Bayonetta (SEGA), Doom Slayer (Microsoft), Akuma (Capcom), Ryu Hayabusa (Koei Tecmo), Travis Touchdown (Grasshopper Manufacture), Jack Cayman (SEGA),

Most Requested Reserve Spots: The Amazon (Pro Wrestling NES) & Sephiroth (Square Enix)

1. The top 2 characters are added to the roster each day.

2. Characters should fit a darker, more violent setting. My idea is basically Nintendo meets Mortal Kombat so go off that if it helps. Characters who are normally lighter in tone can still be considered if you can give a strong argument for how they fit.

3. If you can provide a strong reason why your character belongs in Red Moon, your nomination may receive a bonus upvote from me.

4. No franchise may have more than 4 representatives. The goal is variety.

5. Third-party roster is now full. Please nominate Nintendo characters only. Third-party characters can still earn one of the two "most requested" reserve slots if they narrowly miss the main roster.

6. Ties get Google surveyed which will be posted on the next post.

7. Like my other rosters, the final 2 slots will be reserved for characters who were heavily requested throughout the poll but narrowly missed selection. Every comment and vote matters.

The entrants were finalised at the start of the month which is why certain championships are on certain people.

I sorted all 48 teams into 4 tiers especially with tier 1 being champions, team 2 being more all stars/recent former champs, team 3 having more rising teams and then the last one being the Wildcard tier being a lot of normally individual stars placed together as well as teams that I couldn't fit in the other categories.

For anyone wanting a more list format, here ya go.

Feels good to finally be able to pop the bubble. Also I know cutting two of the original twelve is controversial but I genuinely don't have a care in my body about that and if we applied that same logic to Mario Kart, people should be rioting in the street over Donkey Kong Jr not being in World. This is a side tangent just to say put Donkey Kong Jr back in non tour Mario Kart, I was extremely close to putting him (in sprite form) in this.
