Eliza easily had the most compelling gameplay description out of the top 4.

Out of the top four maybe, yes. But Isaacs playstyle sounded so much more interesting for example. It was something that w
hasn't been done before in fighting games.
I'm just really salty that he didn't even make it to the finals.

 

[Ken]

Vote Adam!

 

[Gbraga]

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH

TIME TO LEAVE THEM ALL BEEEEHIIIIIIIIIND

NOW GO BEOWULF!

 

[Beckx]

Can anyone do a Donovan color palette for Eliza to celebrate? (She'd better have a surfing divekick on that staff Peter.

The rooster-bodyguard is hilarious. Reminds me of Hotline Miami.

Meanwhile, I've started leaning toward Minette for Round 2. She reminds me of a nice/not scary version of Starfish from the Nocturnals.

 

[SolarPowered]

After reading more about the IR system it seems like it should have been in place from the start. I'm looking forward to getting the next email so we can get this done.

I was pretty salty earlier, but this new voting system appeals to me.

 

[Geniuzz]

Eliza did it! Impressive victory for her, I suppose the bro vote helped her win this big. Annie fans must be disappointed, though, as she seemed to be a big fan favorite. With the new voting system implemented for the second vote it's going to be interesting how the previous top 8 will fare this time around to see if it has any influence at all. Can't wait to play as #TeamMusic!

 

[Jintor]

The rooster-bodyguard is hilarious. Reminds me of Hotline Miami.

I think he's a... I don't know. Sunbird? I thought he was an Ibis, but I guess that would be Thoth.

Still looks like a chicken.

 

[DR2K]

Of course the blood goddess won, the other 3 were jokes.

 

[HiddenWings]

I'm ok with this, I think. Although the announcement art really sold me on it.

 

[Hobobloke]

I really hope that a supermajority is needed if IRV is being used for the next round.

 

[Beckx]

I'm looking forward to getting the next email so we can get this done.

Vote 2 starts immediately/tomorrow, right?

 

[HotGarbage]

THE CHARACTER I WANTED DIDN'T WIN. MY LIFE IS HORRIBLE.


But nah Eliza is pretty cool. REALLY looking forward to seeing what the team can do with her; there's a lot of room for creativity here. Also looking forward to her interactions with the rest of the cast, Squigly in particular. Assuming that kinda thing is on the to-do list.

Also her body guards are awesome.

I'm still going to go for Annie next round with Beowulf as a second. Question is, who will all the Eliza supporters flock to? I'm also curious if the new voting system will mix things up at all.

Don't bring sgg in here, people or you are just going to end up regretting it.

Seriously

Just checked out the thread. Pfffffhahaha oh man some of these posts. Generally people seem pretty cool with it, though.

EDIT: Also not gonna lie, I'm a bit salty. It's all good though!

 

[Delusibeta]

I really hope that a supermajority is needed if IRV is being used for the next round.

I'm assuming the 50%=win rule only applies to the third and final round, and that the IRV in the first two rounds will only be for burning off the bottom 10. Of course, who gets burned off can be different than if we went first past the post again, but still.

 

[Dachande]

Shiiiittt, this is nuts. I didn't expect an Eliza win at all, I thought Annie had this in the bag. Thank god for the loud majority!

I will sacrifice #teamFeng for Annie.

I'm sorry Feng.

WE'LL REMEMBER THIS

 

[Ivan 3414]

out of the four, Eliza what's the best choice, so I'm glad she won.

She can't sound like Numbuh 5 from: Kids Next Door, though.

The only possible choice is Cree from Kids Next Door.

Spoiler

Yes, I'm aware who she's voiced by.

People on the FB page think she's black too.

...Was it a question?

 

[wildfire]

Aeon

The End​

 

[IntelliHeath]

YES YES YES YES

only character at final 4 that I truly support have won! GO ELIZA!



NOW YOU MUST SUPPORT BEOWULF TO GET IN! OR ELSE!

 

[grap3fruitman]

Since even the official art tonight gave Eliza some inflated baloons, I have to say... I kinda hope this isn't a big deal trait of hers. Leave that to D.Violet or Venus (HA!)

Nope, it's got to be done. Eliza is Skullgirls' Mai. She needs a similar idle stance after a certain period at neutral.

 

[Hobobloke]

Ah, I had forgotten it was being done in rounds, that eases my concern.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Looks like people were right about Eliza eating up the votes after everyone else. I am pleased.

 

[Blueblur1]

I'm very happy with the result.

 

[ixix]

I woke up to the news that Eliza won, and was like "Hey, that's who I voted for!"

But then I double-checked and apparently I actually voted for Minette, then forgot that I did in the intervening week.

 

[darkblade77]

Awh. Well, can't say Eliza isn't a strong addition to the roster.

Annie, we had a good run. But now that R1 is over, it's #TeamFeng time once again.

Let's go.

 

[Caelestis]

Eliza was my least favorite of the four. Oh well. Now who to vote for next time. *thinking*

 

[Nyoro SF]

Did I not call it big-time in advance? I gotta search through my old posts, but I definitely called Eliza winning it after top 16 at the least. The moment Peter said that it was statisticially impossible for other characters to catch up then it should've been immediately obvious who the victor was.

Anyway given that I have always thought that the Egyptian woman was a rather lame look to go for I was disappointed in everyone banding around this character. But I guess if you don't like little girls or followed Mike Z's continual telling of not to vote for Aeon in not-so-explicit-wording the other choices weren't exactly up to your standards either.

Let's rock the next vote.

 

[GooeyHeat]

Well, I think I dreamed either last night or the night before that I looked at this thread and said incredulously, "AEON WON!??" so I'm glad to see that didn't happen. Still would have liked Annie, but Eliza's cool too. (Hell, Aeon's cool too, but I wasn't optimistic that her gameplay would work out because of Mike Z's continued crusade against her).

So congratulations, Eliza fans!

 

[so1337]

Let's go.

I got your back.

#TeamFeng

 

[SaberVulcan]

[kirblar]

#TeamStanley

He's my #1 or 2 pick for the next vote.

 

[Beckx]

My vote is up for grabs, leaning Minette for the reason above. But I wanna see some campaigning. Tell me the gameplay reasons to play a character.

 

[Spirit of Jazz]

Really happy with the first result as she was one of my favourite concepts. Time to unite behind the only adorable badass in the the rankings, go go #TeamHubrecht. Okay Beowulf will by my number 1 because I know Hubrecht hasn't got a chance.

 

[CrazyTank940]

Vote Adam!

Seriously guys, we should totally vote Adam

 

[Nyoro SF]

I like Adam's concept but I'm miffed at Feng being eliminated so I can't exactly use votes for fun.

 

[Jintor]

I've made a lot of drawings to get where I am today

[Rickenslacker]

I was having weird dreams all of last night where I was checking the results and the answer was ambiguous and unclear, this happened to me several times. Needless to say I had to dart to the nearest internet to finally get it straight and...

You done good, SG fanbase.

 

[Kioshen]

#TeamStanley

*high five* Do not worry you are not alone!

 

[A Sentient Keyboard]

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH

TIME TO LEAVE THEM ALL BEEEEHIIIIIIIIIND

NOW GO BEOWULF!

That's a thin sword.

Anyway, while I'm glad the best character out of the top 4 won, I'd much rather have had Annie out of the way so the moe people would be satisfied and could vote on an actually awesome design like Panzerfaust in round 2.

 

[Oldschoolgamer]

Sooo... how is Eliza supposed to work? I know she controls blood. She gets a powerup like Jin when she's low on life? Is her parasite going to work like a stand?

Her interactions with Samson and Leviathan should be amusing.

Still on that universal saturation with #TeamAnnie.

 

[AAK]

Out of my personal top 8 only 1 made it to the current top 8 which is Panzerfaust. I doubt he'll have any chance of winning and my 2nd favorite from the current top 8 would be Beowulf. So I guess it is time to just suck up the tears and vote smart.

 

[BoosterDuck]

Eliza won?

IMPOSSIBRU

The more she gets hit, the more blood comes out of her and stays on the stage to be used. How it's used we don't know exactly, but I like the dagger/ankh kind of thing they've got going in that official artwork. That's pretty much all we know for sure at the minute.

 

[NEO0MJ]

...Was it a question?

Well, all we know about her is that she's Egyptian, which if we take the time period she's from was a pretty mixed society.

They mentioned that she has two stances, one with the skeleton inside her and one with it outside her. I think that's what I read.

 

[Pie and Beans]

I am pleasantly surprised!

 

[wildfire]

I like Adam's concept but I'm miffed at Feng being eliminated so I can't exactly use votes for fun.

What are you talking about? We can rank votes.

Too many people are making this mistake of thinking they have to vote for a specific character.

The advantage with ranked votes is that you can now barter for placement.

If you want more people to vote for your favorite character more highly offer to vote one of their favorites below your preferred choice.

She's more fleshed out than that.

That long pole she is holding is both a microphone and scythe.

Her parasite has taken the form of her skeletal structure. It can rip itself out of her body. Her husk is immobile while the skeleton has improved speed and possibly better jumping abilities. She can still control blood but it is unknown how damage to either the skeleton or husk is applied nor if the husk can do anything else besides control blood.

 

[A Huge Battleship]

No more salt and tears SkullGAF, who is still on this Team Annie train?

Of all the characters, my opinion of her's increased the most in this round. She might make my #1 spot, but she'll be fighting off stiff competition from Black Dahlia, Brain Drain and Beatrix.

I haven't been given the lowdown on the next voting system yet. Link to post where it's explained?

 

[SouthernDragon]

Cool, now it's Beowulf time.

Kinda surprised by Eliza's overwhelming victory, but I don't mind too much. Annie or Eliza are cool.
