@ChristiJunior i can't believe fedi is full of so many gacha fags...
@beardalaxy The low vote counts definitely favor them since there are so many BA players on DRC after the Varis exodus, the more people repost the polls and the higher the vote totals, the better the bigger names will do. That's at least my preliminary take.
@ChristiJunior i also think that a one hour voting period will mostly attract people who are terminally online and those people are probably more likely to actually "play" gacha "games"
@beardalaxy @ChristiJunior for me it's a sunday and i was tagged 30 minutes into the poll. it's not like christi hid the poll or anything
@beardalaxy @ChristiJunior not i was tagged. i meant i saw the tag 30 minutes later (since i was playing video games)
@ChristiJunior @beardalaxy Do we have any new challengers this year that aren't from VN or gatcha? I was thinking a lot earlier about how there seems to be a real drought of female characters that aren't diversity blobs from the western world. The only one I can think of on the spot would be Rosalina, and that's 18 years ago now.
@DemonSixOne @beardalaxy Pokemon Sun/Moon is a 2016 game, and that's where's Lana is from (though she got crushed by Rachel Alucard).
Bernadetta is reasonably new (2019), but she was also here last year. Gravity Rush is 2012 game, so Kat might actually be the girl who best fits your criteria and actually performed decently.

@ChristiJunior @DemonSixOne I tried to get Riju (2017) in but franchise capped and that went to BA instead, of course.
There are plenty of appealing girls in newer games though, even in the Pokémon ones.
@beardalaxy @DemonSixOne As much as I hate Sword/Shield, the girls were Quality. Gen 9 was a lot weaker, but Iono at least is a top-tier Pokegirl.
@FeelsOttoMan @beardalaxy @DemonSixOne All those videos of VTubers having their fans betray them for Iono are also really funny.
@ChristiJunior @FeelsOttoMan @beardalaxy @DemonSixOne Next game looks like shit and I will fully support Palworld not to mention the bastards have put out a DLC announcement before the game even fucking released.
@William_The_Dragonborn @ChristiJunior @beardalaxy @DemonSixOne @FeelsOttoMan ehh palworld sold their soul to soyny so it's in my eternal backlog
@zeroraining107 @ChristiJunior @beardalaxy @DemonSixOne @FeelsOttoMan That is understandable however I view it through the lens that they knew Nintendo was gonna come after them due to them making a different monster game.
@William_The_Dragonborn @zeroraining107 @beardalaxy @DemonSixOne @FeelsOttoMan We already know that Palworld apologists will make excuses for anything it does, including Body Type 1 and Body Type 2.
@ChristiJunior @zeroraining107 @beardalaxy @DemonSixOne @FeelsOttoMan I do not accept that and thought it was bullshit I just support it to fucking knock Pokemon down for its horrible anti customer practices. I never wanted this shit to happen but when I get my pokemon fucking locked out of games due to them fucking hiring pajeets and not coding them into the games it makes me wanna destroy them.
@ChristiJunior @William_The_Dragonborn @DemonSixOne @FeelsOttoMan @beardalaxy @zeroraining107 Palworld still has a better track record than Nintendo, but I'll still pirate Palworld.
@William_The_Dragonborn @ChristiJunior @beardalaxy @DemonSixOne @FeelsOttoMan I mean soyny is going broke as far as gaming is concerned they should have sold their soul to microshaft
it's slow, boring and full of niggers.
@ChristiJunior @DemonSixOne nemona is good too
@DemonSixOne @ChristiJunior @beardalaxy Yeah I wonder what the most recent non-gacha character is in this tournament, or the most recent character worth giving a shit about in general. It's not just the West that sucks, what's the last great female character to come out of Japan even?
@pettanko @beardalaxy @DemonSixOne Plenty of good, super-hot girls from the recent Fire Emblem and Xenoblade games, but they got limited play on Fedi. Mio did come very close to qualifying tho.
@ChristiJunior @beardalaxy @DemonSixOne I haven't played Xenoblade or Toothpaste Emblem but I guess the remade Celica sorta counts.
@ChristiJunior @beardalaxy @DemonSixOne They're good, but I miss the old Fire Emblem style where they looked more like knights and fighters and stuff but were still really attractive.
That's one of the things I really liked about Shadows of Valentia, it was classic Fire Emblem character design drawn by a really good artist.

@pettanko @ChristiJunior @beardalaxy Switch titles on fedi seem real hit or miss. doesn't seem real popular as a platform or just people don't have played many games for it or something.
@DemonSixOne @beardalaxy @pettanko So much of Fedi is Muh PC Masterace and Gacha addicts 
Thankfully Xenoblade 2 at least gained some Fedi cred due to all the Jews and SJW crying about Pyra's design.

@ChristiJunior @DemonSixOne @beardalaxy @pettanko I am not against Nintendo of the past but I can no longer walk with them.
@William_The_Dragonborn @ChristiJunior @beardalaxy @DemonSixOne @pettanko Besides, Xenoblade is good because it's a Monolith Soft game. While Nintendo has it's hands in it, they're mostly capitalizing off it with it's exclusivity
@supersid333 @beardalaxy @DemonSixOne @William_The_Dragonborn @pettanko Nintendo is literally the reason they were able to make Xenoblade, and why Takahashi was able to carry out his vision. You need only compare it to all of gear's and saga's troubles.
@pettanko
The gooks did Stellar Blade. I don't know how good the character is but at least she's not ugly.

@ChristiJunior @beardalaxy @DemonSixOne
@Beefki @pettanko @DemonSixOne @beardalaxy Last year I nominated Stellar Blade's Eve as a Wild Card despite despising everything Soyny, but she completely bombed in the Qualifier poll.
More surprising is Palworld's Zoe Rayne not being close to qualifying despite two attempts.

@ChristiJunior @Beefki @beardalaxy @DemonSixOne I would have guessed she'd fair better now that she's not stuck exclusively on a console that's hostile to girls like her, but I guess not.
@pettanko @Beefki @beardalaxy @DemonSixOne She might, but she again wasn't nominated, and I wasn't gonna give her a second Wild Card slot when I'm not even rooting for her in the first place.
@Beefki @ChristiJunior @beardalaxy @DemonSixOne Oh yeah I haven't played that yet either, but the characters look really good.
@Beefki @pettanko @ChristiJunior @DemonSixOne @beardalaxy the problem with stellar blade is that it started on ps5 eve could've been the next 2b but shift up made a deal with sonyny after nikke blew up so idk wtf they were thinking
@DemonSixOne @ChristiJunior @beardalaxy i mean if you're desperate you can say loline/pauline from bananza/Odyssey but it's cope since pauline is from the oooold donkey kong game
@zeroraining107 @ChristiJunior @DemonSixOne not her loli form tho, they knew what they were doing and they executed perfectly
@beardalaxy @ChristiJunior @DemonSixOne i'm not interested in her never played the game and everyone who played the game played it in English which made her sound annoying
pauline the character appeared before peach which is why she wouldn't count since she's way older than Rosalina

@beardalaxy @ChristiJunior they’re everywhere these days.
It makes sense though, gachas have shit for gameplay so they need to have appealing characters to get whales to open their wallets. And where else are you going to get appealing characters anymore? Certainly not from modern games.

FWIW, my general modus operandi of this tourney is vote for DFC and vote against Nintendo. In that order.
Nintendo has been a dumpster fire for too long and seeing semi-finals that were 100% Nintendo last year contributed to my decision to anti-vote this year
The fact that I like Neru more for her appearance in the video game than Misty for her appearance in the video game is just a perk. Misty nostalgia is carried by the anime. Without the anime Brock and Misty would be footnotes in the Kanto Gym wiki page.

@beardalaxy @ChristiJunior being this bias against gacha slop would make sense with anyone but misty considering almost everyone who voted for her only remembers the anime version does that even count? Atleast zelda variants make sense
@Blue @beardalaxy Misty might draw a lot/most of her strength from her anime appearance, but she her origins are solidly vidya. The Touhou girls probably derive most of their strength from non-game sources as well, but they all still qualify due to first appearing in actual games.
@ChristiJunior @beardalaxy oh no I don't mean whether she qualifies. I am just more fond of game misty more
@beardalaxy @ChristiJunior it's not that we are only gacha fags, we play other games but just SO happens to be that the few gacha we talk about (see blue archive) have a great fucking story and this the characters we nominate are very good and well written
