I'd rather have Minette over Annie. I'm opposed to little girl characters but at least Minette is a fish thing. Annie is literally a little girl with an eyepatch, the kawaii double strap kind. Not even a badass one

I feel like literally every discussion about Annie goes in circles. We go somewhere with her and then someone complains about how she's a little girl and then we go somewhere else. Rinse and repeat.
have you even seen her backstory or know ANYTHING about her? she's badass and pretty much one of those "she's actually 1000000 years"
She is. With a star motif. She sounds very boring to me and the packaging doesn't have much to do with it. I probably should have mentioned that the new gameplay elements are what got me onto this point.
Had to poke the hive for the new page
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Pretty hard to tell when the only thing you're doing is complaining about the packaging, lol. Especially when deceptive appearance is literally the whole point. Alex pretty much went out and said that she's a grizzled war hero in magical girl's clothing.She is. With a star motif. She sounds very boring to me and the packaging doesn't have much to do with it.

Took the words right out of my mouth.This entire vote is about potential
But you really don't see any potential in how the galaxy is literally her arsenal? Quasars, spatial tears, sword beams, meteorites, suns, black holes, none of that seems like it could serve interesting gameplay ideas or offer visual spectacle? Stuff like that immediately captures my attention, and I can see so much that could be done with it, just from the hints that Alex dropped.
she's badass like Cars
Well when Beowulf is constantly paired up with Scythana he does look like a bit of a girly-man.

What story there is for him makes it clear he can certainly keep up with her supposed advantages, it sort of is the whole point of depicting them together.
From Salty Cupcakes and Alex, Annie could, among other things (and I missed some stuff because my stream loves skipping whenever Annie comes up):
- Ride Sagan like a scooter.
- Shoot beams from her sword.
- Create quasars that shoot hot streams of gas.
- An uppercut with a nebula effect.
Don't forget the most important part - create a minature realistic sun. LOLOLOL
Get hype. Really liking what I'm hearing about Annie's potential playstyle. If she doesn't win this round she's now a lock for my big four in the second vote.Don't forget the most important part - create a minature realistic sun. LOLOLOL
If Annie didn't have that stupid eyepatch (I hate eyepatches) I'd probably be considering her more.

I don't like the whole "I'm gonna tame you" feel I get from him when associated with her.
Awesomeness

This entire vote is about potential
I don't know for sure if Isaac's time travel shenanigans could be as game-changing as it sounds, but the potential is there, and so is the talent, and that's why I've kept a vote on him. The same could be said for practically every other character available to vote. If we're not voting on potential of mechanics, visuals, or story, what are we voting on? What's guaranteed?
It always feels a bit unfair when this kind of info comes out, and for one character, because it does feel like it'd sway votes, because it's the "hot topic of the moment"...
...but in the end, this kind of detail is par the course for a Skullgirls character. About the only thing that REALLY surprises me, is that they'd give her a BEAM, rather than "GUNFLAME!", as that should really help her full-screen game.
----[cut]-----
REALLY hope the character Gameplay-concepts info pages get Upgraded for these final vote rounds. HELP GIVE EVERYONE A LEGIT CHANCE! (It'd be too much to ask for some special move sketch concepts, but that would be wonderful...)
Yes, but at least the good news is that Thursday nights are likely the best time - almost all the voting is apparently over by then, and it's still days away from the new vote on Monday.
But absolutely agree that the final round should have an update with (roughly equal) concepting for the final four. It may not matter, but you never know.

No kidding! It's why I'm most sad when people don't "think outside the box" with what's already there... Look at the amount of detail they went into with Annie here, now imagine that much focus placed on what we've heard of someone like Stanley. People would probably be just as impressed, in some ways.
Personally, of Mike's "To Do" list, I think I'm most hype in seeing Roxie's "Build" Mechanics prototyped, because I can't really think about any other FG characters that offer such a mechanic; Emmett in PSASBR is probably the closest that comes to mind, and that's an entirely different realm of gameplay.

I totally agree here. This competition would be a lot more interesting if everyone was running off the faith that whichever character is picked is going to have some unique and interesting concepts guaranteed, but sadly it takes some feature/spotlight work to convince others.
For example, if there had been some concept art of Talesin [literally] objectifying women like they described or a model of his type of gameplay, I bet he would have at least made it past Round One. And I'm not even a huge fan of puppet-style characters.
The only thing I have against everyone getting a chance is really just the 'time is money' aspect. It'd be nice if it was possible, but we'd need someone to clone Mike a few times.
Like words, polls are wind, but FocusAttack.com's Skullgirls poll has Beowulf, Eliza and Annie in the lead, surprising no one.
(No FB account so I can't see any data behind it, if there is any.)
Minette is Ruto:I'm opposed to little girl characters but at least Minette is a fish thing.
Haha I totally forgot about her Osaka inspirations. If it was more prominent in fan art I might have been convinced to vote for her.Gigaraver from Gamefaqs has been following this topic and made this picture for it:
You know Jintor, you should just go the whole nine yards and do one for every character, not just the top 8.
One of our contractors lives near the current Boston manhunt action.
Their house was inspected by the SWAT team, there were explosions within 150 feet of their place, etc.
Crazy shit.
I live like 3 minutes from where the manhunt is taking place. I was forced to sit inside and play Dark Souls all day.
It's crazy how much they locked you guys down and they probably did that (in addition to clearing away any additional bombs) because they wanted to make sure if any additional suspects could be found they would have a harder time leaving the city.
I wish for you the best circumstances out of this disaster.
Are you allowed to say whether anyone has asked for a refund; because their character didn't make it?
