As Calwings brought up in the last topic, there are now only 2 remaining characters that were also in the top 15 last year.

In addition to that, only 7 of the remaining 13 characters were in last year's competition at all, making it an almost even split between returners and newcomers at this phase of the competition.

The characters left who were in last year's contest and their placement:
78. Solaire of Astora
48. Bayonetta
28. Pyramid Head
25. Sabin
17. Kyle Katarn
14. Yoshimitsu
3. Solid Snake

Yeah, I was surprised to see his huge upsurge, I didn't even remember/realize he was in it last year till I just now checked.

In a minute I might go check and see who has been in both contests and has the worst overall placement.

I think it might be Shulk. >_>

Yoshimitsu

Went back through and I looked at the characters that were in both this year and last year's contest, and placed in the bottom 10 at least one of those times.

There were 6 characters that met these qualifications:

Shulk: 100th and 91st: Average: 95.5
Slime: 99th and 52nd Average: 75.5
Gaunter ODimm: 29th and 99th: Average: 64
Pac-Man: 60th and 95th: Average: 77.5
Richard Hawk: 61st and 94th: Average: 77.5
Agent 47: 18th and 92nd: Average: 55

RIP Shulk, he's had a rough go of it.

If there's interest, I might go through and do stats for all 2 time competitors, might post them around either the top 10 or at the end, or as soon as I finish with them, depends on how I feel lol.

Funny thing? Shulk atleast improved. All those other guys dropped a massive amount. cept Slime.

Kinda like Joel and Ezio actually. Its why characters like Yoshimitsu, Cloud, or Snake who are constantly making it far are the true champs to me.

That's fair, but taking the title is still pretty cool. I'm also curious to see if Snake would drop next year if he does end up winning this year just because of winners bias, or if he would still place super high.
