Seems about right. First and Third for Wright VS Bugs should be re-rolled.

I was going to argue that there is some evidence that could go either way, but then i realized that those competitions with those characters are neither compelling or intellectually titillating.
Reroll! Competition 1 replacement: Selling Cookies. Competition 2 replacement: Crime Scene Investigation

After this tournament is over i'm going to rework the competitions, some of which just aren't very interesting, i think that's a great crime of mine. I attempted to fill in slots and create variety, but it doesn't matter if some of the competitions suck. I encourage anyone and everyone to send me competitions that they think are interesting, i will attempt to create both various and interesting competitions.

My thoughts:

Bugs Bunny vs. Phoenix Wright
Selling cookies: I see Bugs Bunny with an advantage here, he makes a damn good mascot, but maybe pheonix wright could lawyer people into buying cookies.
Pranking: Bugs Bunny Advantage
Crime Scene Investigation: I'd give it to Phoenix Wright, who has enough experience with the justice system to know at least a little about forensics.


Taskmaster vs. Dreadnought
Locating Ancient Artifacts: I'm not quite sure he as of yet, need to think about it
Causing Chaos: Advantage Dreadnought i think, he could easily walk into a populated area and just start destroying stuff, Taskmaster could cause some destruction too, but there's a lot of shock factor that comes from a 2 ton death machine tearing down buildings and electrocuting power stations into uselessness. Then again, Taskmaster could potentially create chaos in a more subtle way, like training a rebel army or performing a string of shocking crimes.
Raising Children: I never thought i'd say this, but i think taskmaster might be better at raising children. It's been proven before that having a cold metal contraption as a parent causes some crippling psychological problems (at least in monkeys anyway), Taskmaster might be a terrible parent, but there's nothing like flesh and blood. Also, you can bet that that kid would have some bitchin martial arts skills.

Selling cookies: Step one: Disguise as burgers. Step two: Get Maya near 'burgers'. Step three: All cookies sold.
Alternatively, get burger flavored cookies.

I think that Taskmaster might have an edge at finding ancient artifacts, i just think he would be a much more adaptable treasure hunter than the Dreadnought, Taskmaster has spent his life seeking wealth after all, while the dreadnought has focused on merely destroying the emperors enemies.

Dreadnoughts are technically ancient artifacts themselves...

I can't really see Dreadnoughts going on a journey of inner self discovery.  :P

Semifinal results:



Bugs Bunny vs. Phoenix Wright
Selling cookies: Bugs Bunny, he's adorable,
Pranking: bugs bunny this is pretty much the only thing he does, second to eating carrots.
Crime Scene Investigation: Pheonix Wright has the advantage here due to experience in the justice system.


Taskmaster vs. Dreadnought
Locating Ancient Artifacts: Taskmaster wins, he's motivated by greed and could master more than a couple handy skills that could help here.
Causing Chaos: In the short term i would give this to dreadnought, but the Taskmaster has the capability to raise an army and throw a coup over governments and wage warfare that could span internationally, causing chaos on a really large scale.
Raising Children: "I never thought i'd say this, but i think taskmaster might be better at raising children. It's been proven before that having a cold metal contraption as a parent causes some crippling psychological problems (at least in monkeys anyway), Taskmaster might be a terrible parent, but there's nothing like flesh and blood. Also, you can bet that that kid would have some bitchin martial arts skills." View quote.



This makes the finalists...

Bugs Bunny and The Taskmaster

I guess that depends on how we value the "success" of pokemon training, taskmaster would make them awesome at fighting, but with bugsy they'd probably be a lot more emotionally stable.
