## Frequently Asked Questions

### How does the video game characters bracket work?

Thirty two characters enter the bracket. Spin the wheel to draw each head to head matchup, vote on the more iconic character with your group, and advance the winner until one is crowned champion.

### How is this different from the Nintendo characters and Smash Bros brackets?

Those brackets stay within the Nintendo universe or the Smash Bros roster. This bracket pulls icons from every platform, so PlayStation, Xbox, and PC legends like Kratos and Geralt compete directly against Mario and Link.

### Is this a power ranking or a favorite character vote?

That is up to your group. Decide before round one whether you are voting on who would win a fight or who is simply the more iconic character.

### Can I run a single genre or era only bracket?

Yes, edit the list to keep only retro arcade characters, only modern action heroes, or characters from one genre for a smaller themed bracket.

### Who usually wins the video game characters bracket?

Mario and Kratos are frequent finalists, but Master Chief and Cloud Strife pull off deep runs in almost every group.
