Project Soul wants to know your favorite characters!

The whole alpha patroklos thing was pretty silly. Giving the canon hero a super-mode means there's no point in having the regular moveset anymore since it's clearly not his final form. However, his super mode is just another ex-cast's moveset that's been buffed up since the developer thought it should be rewarding that the inputs were difficult (one of the decisions I didn't like from daishi).

His regular moveset was actually a good beginner moveset with unique animations and I'd hate to retire that moveset just for story reasons (since it was presented that he only forced himself to use a sword/shield combo to honor his mother while setsuka's style was more natural to him), which is just bullshit.

He's just in a very weird spot right now, though i'd bet he'd only return with his classic moveset and the setsuka movesets be dumped to yet-again another one of setsuka's "disciples".

I would like to see a weird hybrid where he kept the signature moves of both, but that would actually make 2 fanbases upset rather than unify them (just how human nature works) in that they'll complain that their moveset is contaminated with some other characters' random moves.
 
I disagree with you, Sophitia, Cassandra, Pyrrha, and Patroklos all have entirely different styles from each other. I understand Pyrrha basically has all Sophitia moves, and some Cassandra ones, but the way she uses them moves, her counters, grabs, and combos are different and if she where to appear in a future installment they would most probably make her even more individual. Also, Patroklos is completely different to Sophitia and Cassandra, he IS similar to Cassandra (the way he uses his weapons), but he doesn't really have any moves from ether of them (he borrows a lot of moves from SCIII Sword & Shield style). As for Omega, she literally is a Sophitia clone with some Cassandra moves and some individual moves, but she basically has all of Sophitia's combos (and a few of her own - especially wall combos -) so I agree with you there. As for Lizardman he is basically Sophitia and Cassandra mixed together, but like Pyrrha he has individual combos. Aeon however, is very different and only has a few moves from Sophitia and Cassandra, he is more unique than his previous incarnation.

Thank you for your well thought out reply. I think I agree with you that Sophitia, Cassandra, Pyrrha, and Patroklos all feel very different. it is likely a bad idea to remote consider combining most of their votes even in an unofficial sense, but I can see stacking some of Sophitia and Pyrrha together, maybe, but having played Pyrrha as my third character in 5 I can say she was still way different than Sophie, meh I regress.

Thank you for pointing out how different Aeon is. It does make sense, he is very quite a bit different than most sword and board styles currently in game.
 
Here are some updated information for the 13th. I have also included a different and hopefully a better gains chart. Yay for additive bar graphs!

I rather like the additive bar chart for this data. I decided not to include the gains listed from my May 7th data because the numbers were a lot larger and would make everything look less elegant. I might do it later though.

Anyways so Kilik increased his lead over Ivy

Siegfried showed incredibly poor growth this time letting Nightmare get closer to passing him.

There were some switchups on the lower end of the bracket, mostly Abyss breaking the 3 way tie and pulling out infront of Leixia and Alpha Pat,

Patroklos, both forms continue to get zero votes.

Vote turnout was has slowed to 150 votes in a 48 hour period from 240.

In total there are 4650 votes for female characters, 5060 votes for male characters, bringing our total up to 9710 votes. Hopefully we hit 10k votes in the next 4 days.

Interestingly the top 5 ladies are Talim, Taki, Ivy, Tira, And Sophitia, their total votes are 2713 making up more than half of the female vote.

The top 5 male characters are Mitsurugi, Kilik, Siegfried, Nightmare and Zasalamel their vote totals 2467 also making up just under half of votes for male characters.
