I saw on Indiegogo that the total amount is now down from $ 829,829.00 to $ 829,276.00. How did that happen?
YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHVoted Annie of the Stars, bitches. Annie of the motherfucking stars.
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I remembered this post and it swayed my vote!
Mike Z's mentioned there's a good possibility her blood will become "sand" in the final version, if she's picked.* The only one left is Eliza and I'm not even that interested in her. Don't like MK all that much and the idea of blood spewing around the stage irks me a little. I honestly don't think they could keep their T rating with Eliza in :/.
* Really don't want Aeon in for game breaking reasons
* I like Frank West and it's mechanics but I want Frank West not some fishy character replacing him
* Platinium just grinds my gears in BB so while she looks interesting Annie is out
* The only one left is Eliza and I'm not even that interested in her. Don't like MK all that much and the idea of blood spewing around the stage irks me a little. I honestly don't think they could keep their T rating with Eliza in :/.
*sigh*
Voted Eliza.
With her lounge singer aesthetics, I can't help but imagine her singing the credits song (not unlike I can imagine Squigly singing the opera-ish bit in the intro) - part of the lyrics even seems fitting for this whole process:
The mentions of Haohmaru applied to Annie would have shifted my vote to her were they offically stated inspirations and not fan wishful thinking (SNK factor is a tie-breaker for me, and a solid character inspiration is worth more than a game sub-system)
- now i can't help but think of stuff like a Peacock/Annie intro where they take puffs on a cigar and swigs from a bottle, then blow out smoke and spit out liquor into the sword respectively and simultanously, or an Annie victory animation where she sword her sword upwards, and holds Sagan by his ears so that he swallows it on the way down.
It's not too late to update those character descriptions for the 2nd character vote...

URGH I still gotta decide between Aeon and Annie.
Man this is gonna be tough.
How about none of the above? From your avatar it seems you like classy ladies, so there's no correct choice other that Eliza.

Sand is the new sweat, lol.
Voted Minette. If I can't have Beowulf then I at least want something adorable I can't stare at and stay angry with.
It ain't over till it's over!
The celebrity, Eliza, just needs to show up and the votes will follow!

The fan art will flow freely this week and all will be well regardless of the results.
And my vote is submitted.
To use a bunny with your own eye in it would be pretty ballsy. Would have to have a 2% chance of chickening out at the last second, and then playing it off all sly-like.
This stuff is fun to think of, though, I agree. I keep thinking of a Gigan walking onto screen, and thinking Minette for her lunch, as a little nod to those who like Scythana... I hope we get to see more and more of the surrounding world, piecemealed to us throughout these character victory poses, quotes, story mode images, and attacks...
2nd Vote updates would be VERY welcome. I'd love to see what a member of Roxie's crew looks like, or a description on what move Panzerfaust would have that makes him like KoF XIII Clark (Armored Super Panzerfaustian Back Breaker!). Could really give some new characters a real chance.
Sagan's got a big mouth, and considering the placement of the eye he could probably see exactly what he's doing to keep it out of harm's way. I guess just catching the sword by the tip with his teeth could work too.
Naa, I can expect even less from~ *ahem* seriously though, yeah. Even so, it'd be nice if her TV persona showed up some too. A lot of the fanart for her seems to like to play with this idea, or her acting more toned down every once in a while, even though her age and experience don't make it personally necessairy.As for the ballsy factor, one would expect no less from somone who's been hunting skullgirls for who knows how long.
Considering her eternal youth derives from a wish to the skullheart from her parents, which by lore would have to be done specifically by the mother, who'd in turn become a skullgirl, she might have had to kill her own mother - after that most other things are bound to not feel that intense.
I'm not particularly looking forward to Minette's potential clients myself.
If anything, the prospect of Aeon bringing up alternate versions of characters tickles m fancy more - Scythana with no handcuffs, some special or super where she turns into Valentine's complete Last Hope group (and/or Nadia's Fishbone gang), the version of Painwheel from the Valentine ending, alternate design Nadia, non-prosthetics Big Band, etc...
I'd almost go for aeon for this sort of thing, but I'm really not fond of her design, or the boss factor.
On the other hand, I don't like how Marie was implemented as a boss (a lot of moves don't work on her, let alone the bullet hell factor), and with Mike's focus being on compatitive play, I'm kinda concerned his plans for major are a major "fuck you" for single player mode players, so forcing him to make a boss character actually "play by the rules" is almost tempting.
But I look at Aeon and i just can't see myself going that way considering some of the competition...
Yep - c'mon Peter, you have the numbers, get Alex and Mike to expand the info on at least the top-voted folk, preferably everyone starting with the most-voted first.
There was that mention of votes being pretty close, so the more info, the more tie-breakers we have to help us choose.
So I went on a coin flip
it landed on heads, so my vote goes to Annie.
Don't end up making Eliza lose by a few votes!I'm going to abstain from the last round of voting since I no longer have any horses in the race. We'll see how next round goes

Oh well, one more quickie Miiverse sketch from a day ago, to all the people who voted Minette!
Thanks to LabZero as well, for all this. It's been a great little example of why this kind of thing is great for fans... but also why no sane big corp would ever attempt such a thing, haha. I hope, ultimately, everything works out great, and only the benefits are left, while the threats and immaturity are left amongst the loud-speaking, non-active trolls, in the dregs of the internet.
It's been a wild ride, and finally, we'll get to see the initial truth behind all this speculation! (And then play a big waiting game, as we wait for the 2 already announced new characters, to be completed!)
As a fellow Dante/Strider player, you're obligated to chip one in for Eliza.
Kidding (slightly), hope you get someone you like in next round.
Put one down for Annie, good luck to everyone who wants their favorite in.
Also, please consider voting Feng for round 2. <3

Aeon until the end. If she can make it this far then it's possible she can pull off an upset.
Excuse me do you have a picture of this Aeon character? the word Aeon is familiar for a dream I had last night and by a chance I entered this topic. I had to ask.
Round 4 Vote:
Annie
Over 60% of all votes are in and over 60% of all respondents are Happy or Somewhat Happy with the results so far.
So... yeah, ZTS and his ilk are quite the exception.
Despite this, a solid majority of respondents wants to move to the new voting system for the second character vote.
