[Troubled Bat]

I just don't want two guys(Beowulf/Issac could happen)

ANNIE/MINETTEEEEEEEE

I honestly doubt the two will be guys, I can guarantee that. It'll definitely be a guy and a girl, I can sense it.

#TeamMeteoriteSword

 

[Dreavus]

Finally got around to voting.

TANKFIST.

(dropped Isaac from my original 4. Black Daliah is too cool to kick off that list.)

 

[Moonlight]

Annie and Juju will be the two selected characters. ^^

I agree wholeheartedly.

 

[Troubled Bat]

I agree wholeheartedly.

Honestly I like Juju as well, she's pretty damn awesome and go perfectly with my Parasoul.

And Beowulf isn't on my list of characters. Just if a guy were to win, i'd rather get Beowulf. Plus I see him with Annie likely winning this thing.

 

[TheOGB]

That's best left to actual antagonists like the deity sisters and Eliza.

Not even Beowulf is allowed to harm the Blood Goddess

 

[Nyoro SF]

Who I think will make it to top 8. Feel free to quote and mock on Sunday. Alphabetical:

Aeon
Annie
Beowulf
Eliza
Feng
Minette
Scythana
Venus

This list was manufactured from gut feelings.

 

[Beckx]

Nyoro with the bold call on Isaac!

We shoulda made brackets, March Madness style.

Fine. I'm in.

Top 8:

Isaac
Annie
Minette
Beowulf
Stanley
Eliza
Marie
Pzfaust

 

[Degen]

so, like, I voted; support fighting games, #yolo, etc.

went with Panzerfaust/Beowulf/Scythana because super-armor/wrestler/???

 

[Mauricio_Magus]

Who I think will make it to top 8. Feel free to quote and mock on Sunday. Alphabetical:

Aeon
Annie
Beowulf
Eliza
Feng
Minette
Scythana
Venus

This list was manufactured from gut feelings.

4 of my 6 characters would survive(just Marie/Umbrella would DIE)

I'd be okay with it.... but I think Issac has a sure spot in top 8, while Scythana doesn't

 

[Moonlight]

Gonna requote myself on my predictions because I put work into this thing, dammit.

Decided to take after Huw in presentation of my predictions.

Take it all with a grain of salt, of course, because I'm really not sure who could take that fourth spot in the top four. Marie could even claw her way there.

I'd also bet Ravid is looking at all the predictions going on in this thread and looking back at all the survey data and just laughing.

Probably worth an addendum on Marie, because I made that when I thought Japan made up a more serious bloc than six or seven percent. I don't think that'll be quite enough to carry her to the next round, even under an assumption that every Japanese voter included her on their voting short list.

 

[Mauricio_Magus]

Unless we are surprised, the top 4 is between:

Beowulf
Issac
Annie
Minette
Eliza
Venus


I'm being realistic here, which should be obvious because I don't want stupidwulf

 

[commanderpepper]

Who I'd like to see in the top 8

Annie
Stanley
B. Dahlia
Feng
Eliza
Beowulf
Scythana
Issac

Top 8:

Isaac
Annie
Minette
Beowulf
Stanley
Eliza
Marie
Pzfaust

I am okay with both these lists

My prediction? Hmm...
Annie
Minette
Beowulf
Feng
Aeon
Eliza
Isaac
Scythana

Barely missing would be Venus (who could make it over Scythana, I'd think), Molly, Umbrella, Tankfist and Stanley (and I would presume close to that order)

 

[Mauricio_Magus]

I know she's awesome, but I don't see the mainstream appeal of Scythana.... I'll be honestly surprised if she's in top 8

unless you guys think Mike Z's demo will change everything

 

[Beckx]

May have already been posted, but apparently Focus Attack has been running Facebook polls for each round. I don't have a FB account, so can't see all their results (or the current poll results), or how many people voted, but it looks like Beowulf, Stanley and Eliza were the top vote getters for their FB poll in round 1. Someone on FB should check to see if there's any current data for this round.

Not that they mean much, but if there's a large sample size, it might.

 

[Anbec7]

I've been looking around and god there is a lot of Beowulf/Scythana/Annie fanart
Eliza is close behind but go #TeamBeouwlf!

 

[Troubled Bat]

Prediction; Top 8:

Annie
Beowulf
Eliza
Isaac
Marie
Molly
Scythana
Venus

 

[Mr. Fix]

Top 8:

Annie
Beowulf
Eliza
Isaac
Marie
Molly
Scythana
Venus

This sounds right.

 

[Korigama]

Hmm, if I were to guess?

Top 8
-Aeon
-Annie
-Beowulf
-Black Dahlia
-Feng
-Marie
-Minette
-Panzerfaust

Of those, Aeon and Black Dahlia are the ones I don't consider absolute certainties. No guarantees regarding Panzerfaust, either.

 

[Mauricio_Magus]

Top 8 predictionsno particular order)

Annie
Minette
Issac
Beowulf
Marie
Venus
Eliza

and I think the last spot is going to be a battle between Aeon/Stanley/Panzerfaut/Umbrella

 

[TheOGB]

I know she's awesome, but I don't see the mainstream appeal of Scythana.... I'll be honestly surprised if she's in top 8

unless you guys think Mike Z's demo will change everything

That's actually why I have her in over Venus. I wouldn't say it changed everything, but considering the poll results showing a lot of people voting based on gameplay I think it gave her a good enough boost to make it to Top 8.

But really, I may be overestimating Aeon just a tad bit. I'd prefer Molly in over her and have the Deity sisters both out, but I just had that feeling... *shrug*

 

[Azure J]

Here's why Squiggs is awesome (found here )

The few animations I've seen of Squiggly have sold me in ways I didn't think possible.

Who I think will make it to top 8. Feel free to quote and mock on Sunday. Alphabetical:

Aeon
Annie
Beowulf
Eliza
Feng
Minette
Scythana
Venus

This list was manufactured from gut feelings.

I feel like Issac has enough staying power to get here, but I dunno who I think from this shortlist wouldn't pull their weight. (That and I think the majority of Beowulf voters are also voting Scythana in just because of all their propaganda featuring them both. :lol)

Actually, I think Scythana might be the weakest link.

 

[joe2187]

Actually, I think Scythana might be the weakest link.

 

[NEO0MJ]

The only characters I'm truly confident will make it to the next round are

Annie
Beowulf
Eliza
Feng

There are other likely characters, but I can't say I'm really be confident about them.

 

[A Sentient Keyboard]

Still sticking to my predictions from a few days ago.

Predictions for top 8 (alphabetical order, bold=sure bet):

Annie
Beowulf
Black Dahlia
Feng
Isaac
Marie
Minette
Panzerfaust

Feng, Dahlia and possibly Isaac are a the weakest links here; Eliza, Scythana and Stanley all could take one of their spots. That said, the above is how I think it will play out.

Predictions for top 4 (alphabetical order, bold=sure bet):

Annie
Beowulf
Minette
Panzerfaust

Marie could take Minette's or Panzerfaust's place, but aside from that I'm pretty sure about these.

 

[alstein]

My current predictions

Marie
Beowulf
Issac
Panzerfaust
Minette
Annie
Eliza
Scythana

Feng barely misses out.

Top 4 from that
Beowulf
Minette
Annie
Marie

I just wish the actual game was as fun as the voting and art.

[TheOGB]

Sounds raunchy

 

[Zissou]

I don't get the Scythana love. Cody... but a chick version with a horn?

 

[lazybones18]

Keep spitting hot fire, Levithan

 

[Dueck]

If Panzerfaust doesn't make the cut, Beowulf had god-damn better.

 

[A Sentient Keyboard]

If Panzerfaust doesn't make the cut, Beowulf had god-damn better.

Yup.

 

[SolarPowered]

If Beowulf doesn't make top 8 all speculation automatically means nothing. We may as well get an eight ball to do the predictions for the final two rounds.

 

[Rickenslacker]

I don't get the Scythana love. Cody... but a chick version with a horn?

I don't give a shit about Cody in the slightest and if they actually changed her attire to dissuade the comparison that would be even better, but a hulkin'-ass Dhalsim-reach woman who can fling around bodies is awesome.

 

[The Grim Heaper]

I hope that, if and when Scythana gets in, her body attacks are kinda like Broly in Zenkai Battle Royale.

 

[SolarPowered]

Scythana literally fights like an Ogre. I mean, that should put ASW to shame with their Magnetic Tager. She takes a dump on Cody when it comes to uniqueness mechanically. This is before we even see her go full DBZ on our asses like one of Garlic junior's minions. I don't even like her and I can get why people would go nuts for that. She is probably one of the most monstrous cast members even before she pumps up for a fight against Piccolo.

It's cause she got a video showcase.

 

[Troubled Bat]

I don't get the Scythana love. Cody... but a chick version with a horn?

Not even. She may borrow the look, and pick up a 'knife' (Bodies, which she'll gain with even more reach) but has nothing really to do with him. She's a set of kicks as her way of attacking, her limbs can stretch, and her body can take in monstrous forms.

From the 3rd character page
"raw and beastly kickboxer or Tae Kwon Do character"
People want to deliver some boots to faces.

Sagat isn't on her list. Kim and Juri are. Think about that for a second. Fuck that shit.

For fun, here are the voting results as 'predicted' by a random number generator. Let's see if it can beat anyone/be scary accurate.

Top 8:

Annie
Black Dahlia
Brain Drain
Isaac
Marie
Molly
Scythana
Venus

Top 4:

Annie
Isaac
Marie
Scythana

Winner:

Isaac

 

[SAB CA]

I don't get the Scythana love. Cody... but a chick version with a horn?

• She's Huge. (Bigger than Mr.Tankfist)
• "Her attacks reveal her Gigan heritage", thus, limbs that grow/stretch when attacking.
• A female "bruiser" isn't all that common in fighters, in comparision.
• Weilding KO'd characters as weapons is vicious and unique.
• Kick / Muy Thai-like styles are interesting.
• Differnt from many of the other female Archetypes in the selection pool / currently in game.

She's not one of my first picks, but I can say she'd be one that I'd be fairly happy to see in the game. Characters that are strikingly different (when seen in game) at a glance, and once you get to know more, are what this game really does best.

 

[commanderpepper]

Sagat isn't on her list. Kim and Juri are. Think about that for a second. Fuck that shit.

I mixed up Muay Thai with other martial arts. Realized this and now my message is different. Hooray for the ability to edit stuff.

 

[ixix]

If Panzerfaust doesn't make the cut, Beowulf had god-damn better.

What manner of true Panzerfaust fan could possibly be satisfied with Beoslippers?

 

[7Th]

If Beowulf doesn't make top 8 all speculation automatically means nothing. We may as well get an eight ball to do the predictions for the final two rounds.

Annie is the top contender, not Beowulf; but I'm sure they will both make it to top 4.

 

[Troubled Bat]

What manner of true Panzerfaust fan could possibly be satisfied with Beoslippers?

What's wrong with slippers?

Annie is the top contender, not Beowulf; but I'm sure they will both make it to top 4.

Honestly, I think Top 4 will definitely be Annie, Beowulf, Eliza and Venus. I just get a strong feeling from it.

 

[SDBurton]

Honestly, I think Top 4 will definitely be Annie, Beowulf, Eliza and Venus. I just get a strong feeling from it.

If those two were in I'd have to throw my support behind Annie.
