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

Hm, with all of this Annie discussion in mind, I'm just now learning that Sol's theme on the Korean OST for GGXX happens to be a track called Starchaser.
 
Can someone explain to me why Marie is getting so much support from Japan?
I think it's the "maid" look which is "in" in Japan (or at least Tokyo from my experience) and has been for some time. I don't know the meaning behind it, but I'm pretty sure that's part of Marie's popularity in Japan.
 
Unfortunately though Scythana shot up in my rankings I just don't see her having the appeal to win either votes, but I like imagining a tag team partner team of Beowulf and her with Beowulf on point. I like the idea of her coming in and flinging him and his chair around once he's KOed.

A lot of it I think, stems from Peacock's story mode. I think someone observed this in the IndieGogo thread, but there's an inordinate amount of fanart that's come out of Japan featuring Peacock and Marie. It seems they really liked Peacock's story mode!

Needed to purge my history. Just too much for me.

EDIT:

Oh, here we go.

Pretty much how I've turned around on both characters. Would be hilarious if they had banter like Beo's a deadbeat and Scythana's a tsun when they're on the same team.

"It's not like I wanted to use you for a weapon or anything..."

I didn't think she would make it past the first round of voting and yet here she is. She looks cool, especially unique compared to others in the cast, and the video showing off her mechanics definitely helped. We might get lucky and we'll get to the next round! :D But yeah, definitely, I could see a Beo/Scy team being cool.

what i'm getting at is she's done better than i expected already so here's hoping

"You know I'm just using you for your body right?"

"Lady, you don't impress me, I handle twice the gigan you are for breakfast"

Also if Peter wanted some nice salt, I suspect Mike's reaction to the poll's conclusion that most players aren't competitive would have delivered.

The fanart has made me like Marie a little more. What have you done?!
Still won't vote for her
 
How? That's common knowledge that most fighting game players are not really competitive

Maybe, but AFAIK Mike was into competitive SF for a long time and must have worked hard to make sure the game would be up to that crowd's standards (I found about the game through shoryuken.com, for all I knew then it was the only place where it was heavily promoted long before release) - so seeing poll results that point away from that environment makes me wonder if he feels some of the mechanics' subtleties go unnapreciated.
Late night brain fart, nevermind.
 
Peacock is OLEV!

You know what's the difference between picking a moe character and a real character like Beowulf?

The people who pick real characters will actually keep on playing the game instead of making
rule 34
pictures of the "characters" they chose. ( ° &#860;&#662; &#865;°)

VOTE FOR THE CHAIR.
 
There was already a chair fucking picture, your argument is invalid

Argument still stands, the picture was done before the character has been chosen as the one true Skullgirls character. You guys can do whatever you want with the other. Maybe fan-fic videos from the game, I dunno.

If he already has rule 34 stuff before he was chosen it will only get worse afterwards. Don't be in denial now.
