Topic: Who Would Win Wednesdays: We Need You!

Hello Push Square readers,

Those of you who have been around for a while may remember a weekly/bi-weekly feature that we ran called 'Who Would Win Wednesdays'. We'd take two PlayStation characters and imagine them fighting one another - with you lot deciding the winner by voting in an included poll.

It was a popular feature that sadly had to be scrapped due to time constraints, but we're now seriously considering bringing it back due to the demands of hardcore square pushers. The question is, how do we do this?

We'd be interested in hearing your opinions on this one, because after all, it's a very community-focused feature. Would you like to see it return as it was, or would you like to see alterations? Would you like a tournament with matches each week, ending with an eventual grand final? Whatever your ideas, slap them into this thread and hopefully you can help us refine our own thoughts on the matter.

If you're unfamiliar with Who Would Win Wednesdays, here's one of our first articles: https://www.pushsquare.com/news/2014/02/who_would_win_wednesda...

THANKS.

Oh the tournament idea sounds really neat. We can see who the ultimate PS character would be. Plus I think it will create some interesting articles especially if you get odd battles like Spyro vs Solid Snake.

I wasn't really around when you were running these. Looks good, though - even in the old format.

I do like the tournament idea, but it could be tricky coming up with something fresh to write about each character every time they crop up!

@SteveButler2210: Yeah a tournament would be tough to run until it was down to the final few. If there were simpler elimination rounds on the run up to final rounds to weed out the better ones it may work better. Not sure how these simpler rounds could work, though!

Perhaps if instead of 2 competitors having a 1on1 they were also faced with a situation or event i.e Sonic and Mario have to cross a lake, who'd make it across first and why?

Each character will have its own strengths dependant on the random event they are competing in. It wouldn't matter then if the character pops up several times on the way to the final because his abilities might not be suitable for each random event. Dunno how you could score that but in the end you'd end up with a handful of the best all rounders. You'd also have to think up some really odd, quirky challenge events for them. I.e Snake could smooth talk his way out of paying a hooker, but clearly Spyro can fly and breath flames and stuff...he's a dragon, of course he's gunna win in a fight. (Unless Snake has his stealth camo and stinger missiles, of course..hmm..)

Then the finals could be a straight up fight I guess.

Dang, I used to love WWWW! Bring it back!

After looking at some of the articles, I think I can that the format itself is fine as it is. The only real concern would be keeping the matchups fresh.

Just for fun though, I would like to see a "tale of the tape" kinda deal, just to make it seem like a title fight. It's not necessary, but a fun little detail.

Another idea - make the characters in WWE 2K14 (2K15 has barely any customization) and have them fight! Just a quirky fun thing

Tournaments and finding the best can always be fun. Don't worry about the lack of info on the particular characters - if I hear how exciting an Everton vs Anyotherteamintheprem is going to be I'm sure you guys can think of something. Also don't restrict it to one battle a week. Do 2 battles per article - you can get in a situation were unpopular characters are facing off and not have much interest.

Also on that subject where are the 'have you ever played' articles?
