@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 @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.
