Or I can just make a fake character as filler. (It won't be an easy victory for you, either)

Just finished sending Private Messages to people who appeared on the 1st Annual NG User Icon Battle. Hopefully they'll respond or at least add this thread to their notifications.

Admittedly I'm impatient for the fighting to begin, so the actually battling will begin 72 hours from when the 2nd Annual NG User Icon Battle was made. By then most of the contender spaces will be filled out.

the only thing i dont understand so far is how does the actual "fighting" happen? Are we supposed to draw weapons with ms paint or something and attack the other icon, or...?

Just want to let you know that you'll have to wait for me to find myself an available time to battle. It probably shouldn't be too hard, but you'll just have to wait until I'm ready. Unfortunately, I probably won't be able to give you a heads-up of when that'll be, it'll most likely just be pretty spontaneous, so just be ready.

Here's the 1st Annual NG User Icon Battle for reference as to how the fighting works. Here's the conclusion of the 1st Annual NG User Icon Battle that I made in MS Paint since my overreacted outburst resulted in the thread getting locked before it was finished.

I actually have a process planned for when it's actually time for two users to fight each other.

As the OP, I must keep tabs on everyone who's participating and see who's online and who's not. That's why I'm sending friend requests to each of the contenders. That way, when I look at my friends list and see who's online: if any two users who are paired up for a fight are both online, I'll send a Private Message to both of them to see if they are ready for battle or not.

So far everyone who's a contender in this thread has accepted my friend requests.

Do mods get special buffs or what? Can my over inflated ego count as a buff in the fight?

No, mods don't get any special buffs or bonuses. The battles would be too one-sided if I allowed that.

Also, what Battle Zone do you want to fight in, may I ask?

This has been on my mind for a while, but I need to get this off my chest: I need help battle music-wise.

I don't truly know which video games has the best battle themes and which ones have the worst battle themes, so I need some people with good taste in video game music to be the official battle music selectors for the User Icon Battle. They must not be afraid to request the entire soundtrack of a game for me to archive, and they must be willing to work with what they've got.

I'm just lucky that I found this extended final battle theme compilation video a few months ago and archived it in my Video Game Music Archive.

Time stamps for the above video:

- 0:00:10 Cave Story - VS Ballos
- 0:15:10 Zelda Skyward Sword - VS Demise (Phase 2)
- 0:30:10 Pokémon XD - VS Greevil
- 0:45:10 Banjo-Kazooie - VS Gruntilda
- 1:00:10 BattleBlock Theater - Final Stage (Hatty Hattington)
- 1:15:10 The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth - VS Mega Satan
- 1:30:10 Super Smash Bros - VS Master Hand
- 1:45:10 Dungeon Defenders - VS Old One
- 2:00:10 Super Mario RPG - VS Smithy (Phase 1)
- 2:15:10 Pac Man World 2 - VS Spooky

Black was already taken, so I used a dark shade of gray instead.

Represents me well enough. In fact, on the chart it looks darker than Sectus's colour, so not only did you nail dog shit purple, you also managed to nail darker than black. I hope you're kicked out before you get to fight me.

Actually, I plan on getting defeated anyway to give everyone else a chance. It would look stupid if the OP won. However, for the fight I'll intentionally lose, I'll make it look as if I was trying my hardest to win, for I don't want to be an easy victory for my opponent since it'll be more entertaining that way.
