[Mr. Game & Watch]

[Mr. Game & Watch]

Numbah 10: Shade (and his Pokemon)
This is honestly where I expected Shade to be. Not exactly my most stand out character, and that was completely by design. In fact, I’m almost certain the only vote he got was because Bisharp was one of his Pokemon. Regardless of how popular he is, I’ll probably still use him from time to time, but probably not as a part of my roster.

Numbah 9: Vector
Its funny to me that Vector is tied for last place considering that he was by far the popular vote on my last poll about who I should app, considering that half of the characters in this poll are the same ones that were in that one. Granted, less people voted on this poll than they did on that one. It makes sense to me though, again, not a super standout character for me, and whenever I do play him he really lacks direction or far reaching goals, just a silly smart gator looking for fortune.

Numbah 8: A.I.M.
Again, it doesn’t shock me that A.I.M. is mid-low tier, they have been dead for… some 5-6 odd years and as such they haven’t made any appearances since then, aside from that one time I went crazy and tried to write a Christmas Carol with my cast of characters. They did have a good run when they were active, so I figured a couple of veterans would vote for them.

Numbah 7: Waluigi
Waluigi I expected to be mid-tier at worst, so this is not a surprise to me, though he is beneath a couple characters I thought he could easily beat in terms of popularity. Waluigi is in a bit of the same camp as Vector, as he’s a character I like to revisit a lot, but he usually ends up on the shortlist when it comes to my roster. Because for some reason I’m picky about that.

Numbah 6: Ghor
This one I’m actually surprised by. I expected Ghor to get somewhere between one to zero votes considering that he’s one of my drier characters. He makes jokes, sure, but he’s not the bombastic funny man like Captain Falcon or Mr. G&W. I dunno, I just thought that people might find Ghor boring. He’s a character that I like exploring his personality and playing with the shifts that come with the phazon slowly whittling into his mind. A well mannered man trying to do good before his mind becomes fully corrupt. I guess other people are also into that concept.

Numbah 5: Lusamine
Y’know, I wasn’t sure where Lusamine would fall. I feel like I’ve put out a few good meaty posts with her from time to time, and this isn’t a character type that I’ve played around with a lot, maybe in my earlier days of roleplaying, but Lusamine has been a lot of fun to play in the few threads that I’ve done with her. Though, she is a character that I feel I can only play to a limited capacity, because if she’s in too many threads at once, it can complicate her portrayal because a lot of her character traits are based on how she’s perceived by others.

Numbah 4: E-123 Omega
Another surprise as far as I’m concerned. I’ve only played this character a few times, only once in One-Offs, a brief appearance in a Mirage Portal, and in two separate non-canon short stories. I guess I made a good impression with those few times I did play them, or maybe people just like Omega. I dunno. This is certainly a character I’d like to play more, but for now I’m still in the midst of figuring things out.

Numbah 3: Zelda
This has been a joke character I’ve had in the back of my mind for many years now. The thought process was “fine, if everyone else is going to have a Zelda, I’m gonna have one too, and I’m gonna pick the one that makes the least amount of sense to make an app out of.” Seven years ago, if you told me I would app a version of Princess Zelda, I’d be like ‘wut? But why though?’ Mostly because I could probably come up with a list of characters and game series that I’m personally more interested in, but after the turn out of my character interest poll, I actually got to thinking what I could do with this character and how would I play them. Since then, I’ve come up with a few concepts and character arcs that I thought would be interesting to play out. Like Omega, I haven’t had too many opportunities to play her, but people seem to be intrigued.

Numbah 2: Captain Falcon
I actually thought this would be number 1, not gonna lie. Captain Falcon is a character that I incidentally ended up playing for plot reasons and then ended up loving every opportunity I got to play him. Before roleplaying on this site, I couldn’t care less about the F-Zero franchise, but just playing this character has completely turned me around on it. All things considered, I can tell I’m not the only one that enjoys the way I play Captain Falcon. I get such a rush whenever I write for this character.

NUMBAH 1: Mr. Game & Watch
Ah yes, my titular character. Makes sense that he’s number 1, but I kind of expected Captain Falcon to beat him out, if anything because Mr. Game & Watch has been extremely limited ever since the Starvia was revealed to be Shadow Bug adjacent. If there are any regrets I have about making that decision, its that it makes Mr. Game & Watch way too plot important and gives him a big target on his back. Like, Game & Watch has essentially been bedridden for the better half of 4 or 5 years now, so that’s why I kind of expected him to be lower in popularity, but I suppose that some of my best work on the site has come from me playing Mr. Game & Watch. Either that or people thought it would be awkward to not vote for my mascot character.
