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

Gotta love the tactical voting.

I have nothing against Minette, but I hate Guilty Gear, and especially Sol so I want Annie to lose.
 
7th really isn't though. If Beowulf takes the first poll its going to be because he managed to skate on through the waifu wars because voters are too stubborn to see the bigger picture. It's exactly as he says. At this time its better to go with the overwhelming force of Annie voters than to risk none of the girls getting in due to votes being split.

Doesn't he think Beo is a lock for the second poll, though?

I don't think he is at all. I actually think the second poll will be a bigger crapshoot with the overwhelming presence of Annie gone.
 
100 votes is a long way from statistical significance with over 16000 people (plus people can easily skew straw polls, especially online ones).
I've collected 100 votes from NeoGAF the first round and guess what?
  1. Isaac
  2. Beowulf
  3. Eliza
  4. Feng
  5. Aeon
  6. Annie
  7. Panzerfaust
  8. Minette
Close enough I'd say :p

It would be pretty hilarious if no dudes made it into the final 4.
Equally hilarious if no girls made it.

come on, being inspired by someone doesn't mean they would play that similarly haha

Didn't expect Minette to be last in the poll. Seems like her fanbase isn't so big after all.

135 votes from a site that makes gifs of her dying, let me just say we aren't the place with the Minette fanbase

If it's between Annie/Minette/Beowulf/Isaac? The vote will be an actual toss-up. It will be impossible to know who will win, because the vote will be entirely split.
 
You know what? Screw having a normal male character. I'm going Panzerfaust and Stanley.

Yes but given that they are the Ryu and Ken of the game they are quite different enough.
We are used to having a few big guys in our fighting games. Let alone 2 big cyborg guys in a girl dominated game released around the same time.

But in the end screw balance, I want that tank fist and shark scientist more than that chair dude. It will seem planned to have only non-human males :p

TeamShark-Tank? I can dig it, ha.

It might be 6 months+ Between SaxyMan and TankMan, even if he were to win. Plenty of time for those who like playing one Tank of a man, to get a desire to play a Man with a Tank!

I'm quite glad we have Squigs and Band to look forward to... helps lessen the sting from all the awesome game and design concepts we're watching D.I.A.F (For now?) during this voting process.
 
HERE ARE THE FACTS

Annie and Beowulf are confirmed for the next round. If Eliza or Minette get in, Beowulf is winning it all. If Issac or Stanley get in, Annie is winning. That's all you need to know about this vote. If you like Annie better, vote Annie/Stanley. If you like Wulf better, vote Wulf/Minette. Everyone else is irrelevant.
Preach the good word, Brother.

Touhou 11 - Utsuho Reiuji (Lunatic - Marisa C)

Final Round XV Guilty Gear Accent Core Grand Finals SteveH vs Kusoru

Berserk Guts vs 100 soldiers

Rumble Fish 2: Mito vs Bazoo

Throw in some Pretty Cure, Platinum and we got a motherfucking stew going. Annie is the only logical choice.
 
This is the face of our worst enemy Eliza fans. Pay attention.

Takin' names.

My votes going to Isaac and Eliza this round. If I had artistic talent I'd draw Eliza doing a surf/divekick on the staff while Isaac back dashes (with a little mirror image effect to show time distortion).
 
What makes people think Annie has a big fanbase? Didn't we think Feng had one too?

Yeah now I'm slightly concerned, heh. Everything I saw there was fairly acceptable but I'm shocked at Feng disappearing. It's probably the only real odd result that makes the next round entirely unpredictable.
 
To hell with it, Stanley will get my vote. Annie doesn't need any votes from me if her fan base is anything to go by.

It's attitudes like this that will lead to her losing. Don't take away a vote from her just because you feel the fanbase has her covered. We're at the point where every vote matters, and using that method of voting can be costly.

You know its just inspiration. She isn't going to play exactly like him.. This is just like with Scythana, saying she'll play like Cody.

Haha no it won't. Beowulf will take it hands down over the other three.
 
In the end, vote for who you like. All the hate against Minette seems unfounded, and the hate against Annie seems even worse. =/

Would like to see both of them get in (Minette first, because yay Minette).
 
The waifu wars are destroying us man, the thread's title has been right all along!
Boy ain't that the truth. =/

Man - it would probably be better if none of the dudes got in, just because people would have to make an actual decision then, rather than bandwagon stuff.
 
Fair enough, if she wants to have a shot she should probably try to snipe the shark first so she can have his "unexpected" position.

Still wouldn't bet on her.
When all you have are corpses of waifus and dudebros, you will know who was right.

What's the deal with Juju?
The best design and a great gameplay concept cruelly held back from the first vote through bizarre legal adventures.

These straw polls are not indicative of what the actual polls look like on any level.
 
Something about all this scheming makes me uncomfortable. Y'all are going to trip yourselves up if you keep using vague estimates to try and figure out which characters to snipe. There's a good chance that the bulk of the voters don't even pay attention to the polls until they get a chance to either vote or to see the results.

I mean, if your main picks are already out of the running, then feel free to throw your vote in with whatever countermeasure you like the most. I just think that putting so much weight in Straw Polls or fanart or all that other stuff is a bit foolhardy - and this is coming from someone who's pretty nervous about a specific character's chances of making the cut.
 
She's the only one that bridges the moe brigade and everyone else.

She virtually has everything going for her.

She does seem like the most interesting of the little girl characters. I'm just saying though, we don't know shit

People bothered to make Molly fanart for Gods sake

She was big from the start. Everywhere you went there were folks excited by the idea of a female Sol. Luckily she is way more than that.

Sol sucks. Female Zappa on the other hand...
