Skullgirls DLC Character vote | The Campaign united us, The Voting will destroy us

God Tier:
Annie
Umbrella

High Tier:
Feng
Minette

Kinda of a waste, but I want her:
Marie

I wouldn't be angry with them:
Aeon
Eliza
Scythana

Whatever:
Brain Drain
Molly
Venus
Panzerfaust
Stanley

Go back to Street Fighter, and don't come back:
Beowulf
 
I did this for quick visual reference of who's out, and who's still in:

I'm pleased that all my picks are sill in the running (Eliza, Isaac, Aeon, Panzerfaust).

Ouch, no love for Cerebella's circus.
 
I'm genuinely surprised at both Molly and Stanley surviving the first round.

Shame Mrs Victoria didn't, but on the bright side, that just means I don't have to sacrifice anyone this round :D

Team Beowulf/Annie/Panzerfaust GO!
 
Real talk, as fun as aeon sounds. I don't think anyone who plays the game seriously should want her in.

You're just mad because I would be able to rewind to the point before a cheap mixup happened.

I say that I don't understand the Eliza hype, at all. Everyone else I get, but not Eliza.
 
Theory god or at the very least extremely annoying tier?

Oh hey Im losing, rewind.

oh hey Im losing again, rewind.

Don't get me wrong she's the type of character I would use so I have no issues with her winning in that sense. I just don't think she's good for a game.

And somehow I doubt she WONT rollback the game timer, so imagine how long matches will be. Actually it's even worse if she doesn't roll back the timer lol.

I'm sure there will be a softcap for how far back she can roll like ten seconds though.
 
I'll repent for doubting Annie last time... gonna go with...

Annie
Feng
Beowulf/Brain Drain/Panzerfaust(someone convince me which one)

She has by far the best design imo and her play style sounds cool.

I don't really plan on playing this that seriously so design matters most to me.
 
Prediction for the top 8 of the rotten world we live in:

Annie
Minette
Eliza
Isaac
Beowulf
Feng
Scythana
Umbrella or Marie

I'm 100% sure Annie, Eliza, Feng and Beowulf (YUCK) will make it to the next round.

To be fair, I seriously doubt they'd go for something that easily and obviously broken.
 
Beatrix's art style was so poor she never had a chance. A lot of people who picked her found her visually repugnant and were only turned around by her mechanics. Now just imagine how many people couldn't be bothered to read up on those mechanics because they dismissed her so quickly due to her looks.

Wow, was I the only person who found her visually interesting, not just mechanically?

Beowulf/Brain Drain/Panzerfaust(someone convince me which one)

Brain Drain. The man is psychic and wears a sweet coat.

Oh I see. Well she looks kind of like a typical Egyptian stereotype to me, so I was interested... maybe my viewpoints are just muddled. :P
 
W00t, all of my 4 picks moved on. However since there's only 3 votes in round 2... Sorry Panzerfaust, I gotta drop this one. Venus/Aeon/Isaac, LEGGO.

There is a disclaimer on the character for a reason I believe. Look at it this way, even if the rewind cap is ten seconds. Are you prepared to redo your combos on the fly after you finish one? She's save state based.

Do you want to fight a character that can combo you, build meter. Take a hit, wait it out til its back to the point her combo finished, burst, then rewind time, repeat til victory?

LOL Mike really needs to clear up how the character is going to work.
 
Is this true? I'd prefer the god-like power characters to still be balanced. I'll drop Venus if they don't plan to balance those character types.

Well, they only ever talked directly about Aeon being broken, but Mike did say that he'd rather people not vote for the boss characters so that might also include Venus.

Oh she'll DEFINITELY be annoying no matter how they make her work, like you say the disclaimer is there for a reason. Just saying they'll definitely (be forced to at least) find a way to not make it game breaking.

That would probably only be Level 3 and 5 stuff anyway. Her specials likely wouldn't be too hard to balance.

I don't think Mike has ever said that Venus would be hard to balance, and I can't remember anything in her playstyle that suggests she would be.
 
Here are the Top 16 characters from Round 1 of the first character vote, in alphabetical order.

Aeon
Annie
B. Dahlia
Beowulf
Brain Drain
Eliza
Feng

Isaac
Marie
Minette
Molly
Panzerfaust
Scythana
Stanley
Umbrella
Venus

Awww yeah!

If it really goes off a save state type feature, it being level 5 doesnt mean much. That's pretty much why Im curious about the character's details being a bit more fleshed out. The cliff notes version of her sounds horrible.
I voted for her

Only being able to use it once a match should certainly mean something.

Yea, it'd be nice to actually see her in action, I definitely agree with that.
She's not getting in though so it doesn't matter.
 
*Ravidrath, in the next voting mail, can Molly be sure to have a pic with her in the Graham-O-Tron Included?

Booo for Roxie disappearing. Black women get no respect in fighting games, even when left to fan votes! :/ At least we have an Egyptian woman left, that's visually fairly similiar!

Great to see Molly and Stanley still with us, however. And Scythana making it is pretty cool, too.

Wow, was I the only person who found her visually interesting, not just mechanically?

Her colors were interesting to me, but I think the designs of her leg area were horribly bland looking, the extra knives did nothing, and the plastic / tights / leather cover leggings look really weird. Even the image of her from game art only shows knives stuck in her arms; that was enough.

However, not voting for her due to any of this, if one liked her mechanics, is silly; it's not like she wouldn't have some really sweet color palettes to choose from, if she was selected.

Y'know, I don't know who my 3rd vote will be now... I'll stick with Molly and Stanley as long as they're here, but I'd love to be able to support Minette through this difficult round, haha.

As much as the fighting community claims to HATE "little girls" in their fighters, it's funny how the oldest women got cut (Roxie, Regina, Victoria), yet all the young as can be girls are still going strong, lol.
 
Wow, my favs (most wanted to not as strongly advocated) all made it to round two, awesome. #TeamEliza, #TeamFeng, #TeamDahlia, #TeamDeity, stay strong guys.
 
Well, all 4 of my votes made it.

Now I have a decision to make. :(

B. Daliah is still in; I wouldn't characterize her as a "little girl". :P

Well, there's still Aeon. She's ancient!

Its almost like they are different groups of people
 
This top 5 is everything I'm afraid of. If we end up with a combination of the loli/cutesy characters I'm going to end up pretty disappointed.

Why? Originally, Umbrella and Marie were going to be the next DLC characters...

They're the ones most tied to the story, too.
 
B. Daliah is still in; I wouldn't characterize her as a "little girl". :P

And Eliza! I wonder if Daliah even counts in this particular discussion: anything with a Grenade launcher on it's arm could probably win this first round, haha. But it is good she's still here, too.

Well, there's still Aeon. She's ancient!

Hottest Ultra-Granny in the cosmos! Or... something. She's kept a magnificent figure, too!

Its almost like they are different groups of people

Yeah! I never thought out it that way before! ;) Still interesting, though. It's like, for all the complaints, whining, "if I was in charge, I'd..." statements, and "_____ doesn't understand what we want!" comments you see posted along the internet, trends within a mass of a fanbase generally tend to follow what big companies produce, anyway.

It is always my hope that, when given a choice, a community ends up picking something more unique than what a corporation would have offered them anyway, y'know?

As interested as I am in seeing these characters in the game, I'm also quite interested in seeing where the communities overall taste and preferences rest.
