Live Poll: Favorite Fictional Martial Arts Fighter Character

@Peter_pbn​ ok, good idea, done.

@urbanemovies​ Ok, I agree with the real and fictional adjectives. This is one is about fictional fighters as the title now says.

>Why are using italics for Bruce Lee's name twice in this poll suggestion?

Can't Italics be used on names?

3rd paragraph split. 

The italicization of text is mainly for titles of works and the names of vehicles, not people, companies or nations.

@jeorj_euler​ ok, italics changed to bold.

We also use italicization when referencing the identification of constants, variables and parameters (often only for scalar, imaginary or complex values) in mathematics.

There are style rules for their use and when to use them and when not use them.

Every spelling mistake, grammatical mistake and style mistake and title capitalization error just makes it more likely your poll will not get published. It is tough enough already, you don't need to go shoot yourself in the foot to take yourself out the running.

I would reccomend using the grammar checker tool and the capitalize my title tool, even when you are sure your text is right.

I forgot to mention the custom of italicizing words or phrases that come from another language but in the same script/alphabet; for example, "e.g." ("exempli gratia"), "i.e." ("id est") and "etc." ("et cetera"), among others, from Latin, or je ne sais quoi, from French.

(The principle of senatus consultum ultimum may be in effect when the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus is suspended. In the legalese of English common law tradition, there are many terms like this: "pro se", "pro bono", "certiorari", "amicus curiae", "actus reus", "mens rea", "malum in se", "malum prohibitum", "ex post facto", "a priori", "a posteriori" et al.)

>Do they have to be fictional?

Now, yes.

@mariojacobs​,

Your answer pool seems very human male centered with that segment taking up 80% of the amswer slots. I think you should look to add more fictional characters and strive to be more balanced. For instance, these groups have no fictional martial arts representation in your answer pool: 0% human female characters, 0% animal female characters, and 0% rat characters).

There are at least a dozen fictional martial artist lists on Wikipedia, sorted in every imaginable way and dedicated to this very topic, that are ready made to help you to fill out your answer pool:  (###https://en.www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Fictional_martial_artists###) In fact, there are more listed fictional martial lists (23+) on Wikipedia than there are listed fictional martial artists in your answer pool (14).

Along that line of thinking, รับบทเป็น เซน Zen from ช็อคโกแลต Chocolate would make a fine addition, but at the moment, I'm not able to think of more characters (besides TMNT ones) who do don't belong to our species.

@jeorj_euler​ added👍

@urbanemovies​ 4 more female fighters on the list

@mariojacobs​

Nice, if representation and star power are some of your goals here. You could add Sensei Jimbo and change the Sensei Splinter version. Then, you would have two fictional animal martial artists, and be more inclusive on the acting side too with three under represented groups.

@urbanemovies​ done!

@mariojacobs​

You should check the Wikipedia fictional martial artists lists to see what other better options or gross omissions exist that could be added. You still have rooom for five more and have five weaker options listed, when there are at least ten iconic options currently unlisted that could be added to your pool.

@urbanemovies​ 5 more included based on

@Pencho15​ all included 😁

It happens.
