Reze is greatly overrated IMO I actually feel Maomao is one of the greatest characters of all time, but pretty sure she already won 2023 & 2024’s tourneys, so decided to give the noob a chance |

| @Galaxy-Crisis You are correct, Frieren won last year & Maomao came in 2nd (though they tied on votes). Keeping my vote for this round, but may vote for her on the next if she advances, depending on her opponent. |

| It hurts to see that I could've saved Monica Everett had I made it in time to vote T-T Also sad to see Yaomay out so early. I liked her more than Kujirai (A) since the latter had to mostly be a (very hot) POV character for the viewers, asking questions and waiting for answers, while Yaomay actually did a lot to help the MC, while also trying to find answers for her own issues. Kujirai (B), imo, was a more interesting character than (A), but I treat them as a separate entity. (Now that I think about it, I should've nominated her too. xP) |
