Board 8 > Do you like this character? Day 1209: Zasalamel (SoulCalibur)

(+) Yeah! (+)

TIME IS RUNNING OUT TO SUBMIT A USER-SELECT POLL!
Simply PM me a list of 10 characters you would like to see featured on the poll (please check the wiki page to make sure none of them have been done before!). The only requirement is that all 10 characters must be fictional characters that have never been featured on DYLTC - your list may have as much or as little variety in source/character type as you desire. You may make changes to your list via PM anytime up until the topic before your poll is featured (so if your list is to be featured on Day 1180 to select the character for Day 1181, you have until I post the topic for Day 1179 to make changes). If a character on your list wins a poll between now and the time it is featured, I will contact you regarding a replacement. There are currently 11 lists on-deck. Once that number drops below 10, I will cut off submissions.

Rules
Just post yes or no for whether or not you like the character in question. It can be for any reason. You're welcome (and encouraged!) to give an explanation, but none is required.
No alts, obviously.
Topic generally lasts for 24 hours, but may go on longer if the new one is not up yet.
If you don't know the character in any way, please don't vote. Please also clearly state if it's a Yes or No vote. Neutral = No.
For characters with multiple versions/adaptations, you may use your own criteria (favorite, average, etc)
Nominations are welcome!
Any help keeping this bumped is appreciated.

Today's Character
Fighting only for himself, Zasalamel's soul is always reincarnated with all of his memories and abilities, effectively rendering him immortal.

I'm impressed that you made it this far. Not bad at all.
My dream is about to be realized. You, however, are not worthy of witnessing this glorious moment. Leave this place at once.

No

Wow did he really win the poll

Yes

Pretty much the ultimate test of "is a really good visual design enough for me to like a character"

And the answer to that, after thinking about it, is

No

(I do think design in general is probably enough, but design involves personality as well to some extent I think-- there's also no real uniqueness here whatsoever, just generic chuu2 darkness, which hurts him)
---

Nah. I hate the normals on scythe users in general, an Zally isn't an exception.

Yes

No

He's not very attractive or handsome. He has a really bad scar on his...face if I remember correctly?

He looks ugly. His sword is pointy, ugly and stupid.

Not much charisma to his voice.

I think Soul Calibur 2 was the peak popularity of the series. Nobody cared about SC3 as SCII and it got even worse as the series went on.

I think the reason why Ivy Valentine (chest) and Nightmare were the only SC characters to ever compete in a Character Battle contest should probably tell you something.

No

I like his design, but apart from that, not really.

Why the fuck did he win the poll
Surprised Westworld's Maeve did so poorly too

No

No. Most of the male Soul Calibur characters aren't all that compelling to me.

Yes

Tomorrows round is going to be interesting. Could be some low totals

Bump

*looks at poll*

I'm sure the two winners are entirely because of their names

do yourself a favor and watch a Let's Play of NBA 2k16's story mode it will blow you away
---

Even if I was familiar I'd say that but maybe they also happen to be the best characters on the poll, which would be convenient.
---

i'm familiar enough with the Frequency Vibrations fiasco thank you very much

No

Yes.

Wish Vic was winning the poll as he's the biggest pile of garbage ever to grace the gaming world.

Wait, are we allowed to nominate real people in their fictional incarnation? Or are those original NBA video game characters

I thought the same thing but I did some research and they appear to be completely original fictional characters.

It seems that the recent NBA games have a story mode with original characters a la Tony Hawk's Underground.
---

as great as it would be if there was actually a real person named Frequency Vibrations in the NBA there is not
---

Cannot wait for Freq to finally get his time in the sun

Also No to Zas
---

Yes to Zas

Also after watching the 2k16 story mode again I forgot how incredible the team owner is.
