I want to thank everyone for participating. I really had fun running one of these myself.

So tell me what you thought? How did your favorites do?

Next Friday, I'll do a poll of what my next Save That should be. I have a few ideas of what I want to do, but leave some ideas of yourself and I might add this to the poll.


Again, thanks everybody!!

This calls for a celebration.

Still sad that Alisa got eliminated though :(

Hell yeah, King won! We're gonna make it rain tonight!

I'd love to see a "Save That Fire Emblem Character" contest, but I'm worried that the nominations for such a contest would end up really lopsided toward Awakening/Fates and not really represent the whole series. A non-video game idea I'll pitch is a "Save That Professional Athlete" contest.

Alisa was one of my top choices too, but overall, I'm happy how things turned out with this contest. All 5 of my top choices (Alisa, Talim, Yoshimitsu, Shadow Mewtwo, and King) made it in the top 30, including 2 in the top 3.

JustMyOpinion posted...

The top 10 is like two thirds street fighter. Street Fighter FAQs ftl.

But none of them made the top 3, so it's not like SF dominated the whole contest.

I was going for Yoshimitsu, but King is dope too!
---

Oh yeah, about your next ST edition...
I got some suggestions, and that includes ST about:
1. Animals,
2. RPG Characters,
3. Company's characters (Disney, Nintendo, etc),
4. Artists,
5. Film characters,
6. Characters in general,
7. Actors & Actresses,
8. Pokémons,
9. Plants (lol), or...
10. Cartoon characters.

damn, Yoshimitsu should have won. King is alright though.

Unfortunately, I never got into the Fire Emblem series, so I wouldn't be the best host for a FE Save That.


I've also decided to do another Fighting Game Character Save That coming either late Spring-Mid Summer 2018. Where automatic entries will be King to defend his crown, and Kolin for redemption.
---

Animals is fun. Maybe I'll do that.
---

For the record, some of the ones I've been considering running in the future include Films, Actors/Actresses, Disney Characters, and bands/artists.

If you end up getting to any of those first you can, just thought I'd mention those are some of my planned potential ones.

Plus I still have to do the Marvel vs DC Save That, will probably start that next week.

Never been a big Tekken fan & King in particular never did anything for me, but this was pretty fun.

I agree with this.

Sad to see Morrigan lose.

I wish Mileena would have made it further. Maybe in the next Save That Fighting Game Character.

I want this. I want this really bad.

First or second King?

BlazBlue got REKT and it made me sad

I think the GBA/Radiant games would do well enough on CE

Genealogy and Thracia would have a rough time. Even Gaiden has a better chance now with Echoes (maybe)

Zangief was on the ropes for about 20 rounds.

The biggest upset may have been Cammy's elimination.

Fun Fact is of the 8 original World Warrior characters, Zangief is my 7th pick. Dhalsim my least favorite.

My 2 go-tos are E Honda and Chun-Li

The most embarrassing round was Terry's elimination.

Baiken had a good run, indeed.

Ok I'll do the animal one. Nomination topic up shortly.

Where is it, @Kelystic?

Yeah, Terry was a good candidate for taking the whole tournament.

Yea, once Vice (who was my last remaining pick by the way, thanks so much for getting all of my pics out early. -_-) went out at 42nd, Terry was my new pick to win.
---

I think it was surprising Yoshimitsu was eliminated at 3rd. He pretty much had it made. It was all but apparent he'd be in the final round.
---

All my ladies went down early, but I was pulling for Yoshimitsu

Animal noms is up.

Are humans animals?

For those interested, the Marvel vs. DC save that is now up:

should be in the next one

How about OG/Oldschool Video Game Characters from Atari to SNES or 64 era.
