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

I don't really wan't to get involved with the arguments just want say that I'm #TeamFeng all the way. All my other votes are secondary. As far as predicting a Top 8 I can't even begin to guess who will make the cut.
 
If any female wins, I really hope it's either Feng or Umbrella. The ultimate scenario would be Panzerfaust/Beowulf/Stanley though.

I like Eliza, but she has the makings of a major antagonist best served by a sequel where her long life and plotting can truly shine, along with annie, who's been around almost as long, and the deity sisters - to expand the current game with limited choices, I turn elsewhere.

This right here:

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.

I dislike Cody's jailbird look, and when I first saw Scythana i sort of eye-rolled at it: "oh, look, they're pushing another character to add later, and they're shooting themselves in the foot with that uneven horn in a 2D game to boot."

But her gameplay description totally makes up for it - the game needs someone who relies more on few well-placed long ranged normals, since projectiles, long combos and throws already have decent representatives. A more brutal and blunt style is just the icing on the cake.
 
I just don't want Marie to win.

Yeah, I feel it. That would be hella great. But in this world nothing is certain, so for now, #BloodfortheBloodGoddess
 
I don't get why Annie is so popular. If you want a little girl character in the game then Umbrella and Marie are both better options.

Annie is popular because she's only a little girl in appearance, plus her playstyle hints.

But who cares screw her and screw Marie too, Vote Minette.

Setting-wise, Umbrella and Marie don't add much, and as archtypes go, Annie's isn't as common as theirs.
 
I'm thinking something like

1. Annie
2. Beowulf
3. Scythana
4. Eliza
5. Black Dahlia
6. Venus
7. Panzerfaust
8. Umbrella

But it'll probably be Marie. At least she can be based off Shizuku (HxH). Also, wouldn't she totally dominate Scythana? (sucking up fallen characters)

I'm not going to speak for anyone else, but the reasons that Annie appeal to me are clear. I don't just want a 'little girl character' and yeah, if I did, I might be more inclined to vote for Umbrella or Marie. But Annie has a lot that puts her firmly in her own level. Especially since there's a very deliberate disconnect between her appearance, and her demeanor and conduct - that much should become obvious when the likes of Guts or Sol Badguy are sitting in her list of inspirations alongside Precures and Platinum Trinity. Imagine a Precure henshin executed with the ferocity of Guts, and you get a solid impression on what she might look like in motion. It says as much in the character sheet.

Then there's the vast swath of potential you get out of exploring her galaxy motif as channeled through magical girl sensibilities. Showers of shooting stars, summoning the forces of the galaxy, it's easy to imagine the level of visual spectacle and personality that Annie could conjure in an instant. It's a huge toybox of possibilities. And that's ignoring (as a lot of people seem to) what Sagan could add to that.

There's also the less mundane, but no less important fact that Annie has a godda-- goshdarn sword. Outside of Regina (who, let's face it, never had a shot), she's the only candidate for the roster (and in the roster) who has one. And that's kinda huge when you think about it.

She appeals in the three questions that they asked in the survey, she has appeal in visual personality and appearance, appeal (and familiarity) in gameplay, and appeal in how she fits into the larger Skullgirls mythos (in which she is already well grounded). It's why she's my favourite to win.
The first character vote.

But who's Goku and who's Vegeta?
 
Is JuJu really that popular? Don't get the appeal of the whole SS officer uniform thing that she and Adam have going on.

Yay patch! How did they resolve this with MS?
 
Mike Z has just announced that the Xbox 360 patch is now certainly due for two weeks.

The DLC colors across all platforms will finally be able to be released afterwards.
 
Squigly's booty bump may have just made my night.

EDIT: Is the 360 patch the same as the PS3 patch, or are they incorporating some of the newer balance changes?

Identical to the PS3 patch - we don't want to have two different games on the systems.

...Yes, even though that's what happened with the 360 patch. :P
 
360 patch notes is excellent news, but I'm waiting for fully paid Steam version now. PC fo' lyfe yo.

Doodled Annie.

That expression coupled with the visual from the sword... Is that what Lab Zero is aiming for with Annie? If that's the case, my top 4 just got a hard juggle, especially with (re)reading Scythana's gameplay distinctions. (Kickboxer giant? FUCK YEA.)

#TeamFeng
#Team Eliza
#Team Annie
#Team Scythana

Single best (snap back?) animation ever.
