Tali, from the game that went further and further from the RPG elements. Not the best rep. But... I still really like her so she gets my vote.

Tali!

Maybe my biggest complaint about the Mass Effect series is that I couldn't romance her in the first game.

Well, that or still being unable to romance a Krogan 4 games into the series. Come on, Bioware! Grizzled, scarred old badasses need love too! Andromeda was particularly bad as you could romance every squad member except Drack, who was the best of them by far.

Also Kaja, I'm gonna wait a good while, probably gonna do at least one more other Save That after Sitcoms in between, but after that, I might borrow your All Star's idea after yours is complete, lol. I actually really like that idea, and it'd be (mostly) different characters, so it'd still be pretty different.

Also depending on how well yours does, lol. Assuming you're chill with me using your idea.

There's a few characters that are frequently in a lot of Save That's but have yet to snag a win despite doing decently well.

Sabin, Snake, and Chun-Li are probably the most common non-winners that still do really well, right? Kyle Katarn's also been in a couple different ones.

Captain Falcon's probably been in the widest variety of Save That's, but I think the highest he got was actually in the first Anime Save That in 7th.

I'm sad that Vert didn't make it, but oh well. She had a fantastic run, way better than I expected. As for the final, I'm voting for Tali because I want to see another female character win one of these. In the 12 Save That contests I've seen here, only one female (Storm, in the DC vs. Marvel All Stars contest) has claimed a victory.

DC Comics Character = Scarecrow
Marvels Comics Character = Gambit
Comic Character: DC vs. Marvel = Storm
Anime Character = Dio
Cartoon Character = Lion-O
Character: Cartoons vs. Anime = Daffy
Band/Musician = Queen
Pro Wrestler = Undertaker
Fighting Game Character = King
Fighting Game Character 2 = King
Video Game Character = Ezio
Video Game Character 2 = Dante

Other female characters have had strong showings, including runner-up finishes by Barbara (losing to Storm), Morrigan (losing to King), and Nanoha (losing to Dio).

Yeah, Rydia won the FF Save That, but I think she and Storm are the only female winners, yeah.

And Kirby won the Smash Bros. Character Save That. Not a female (far as I know, lol.), but just another winner to add to the list.

And Obi-Wan won the Star Wars Save That.

Tali literally made it to the final round because she's hot so I'll go with Auron.

Also, need I remind you you're the one who cast the saving vote on her in the last round?

Also going WAY back to my first couple non-character based ones, No Country For Old Men won Save That Best Picture Winner, Aladdin won Save That Disney Movie (the first Save That I ran and one of, if not the, first Save That's on CE), The Road to El Dorado won Save That Animated DreamWorks movie, and I believe Saving Private Ryan won Save That Spielberg Movie, but I lost the full results to that one.

Oh shit, and I forgot I did Save That US President way back. FDR won that.

You're right. I did make the save. My bad I confused Tali with Vert as I don't know either. So to correct my original statement Tali made the finals because I confused him/her with a hot girl. There ya go.

Fine with me, I'm glad Tali made it to the finals, she was one of my favorite characters in the Mass Effect series, and had you not saved her, the next guy's save for Vert would have made Tali 3rd place (which isn't that bad either, out of 130)

Yep, lol. That was also before Trump was elected, so politics were viewed a little... differently at the time, lol.

And yeah, the first few I ran were off a set list of things, so I didn't need to do noms. I think Save That Star Wars Character was actually the first one I did where I took nominations.

Aww man, really?! But yeah I can imagine that... seeing how little interest this current one has.. I'm surprised not more people participated, it was always the same 10 people voting each round, so it made things a bit predictable.. I kept voting Handsome Jack, Claptrap, Aya, Tali, and then went randomly because I knew all the others I wanted to save would be saved by the time I voted for them.
