Title: Beauty Contest Finals - There Can Only Be One
Post by: VySaika on May 13, 2009, 05:22:57 AM
Nel Zelpher(SO3) vs Cecilia Lyne Adlehyde(WA1) 14-11
Judith(ToV) vs Riviera(Growlanser 2) 12-12 (Jenna tiebreak ;_; )

So. The votes have spoke and now it all comes down to this. Confident redheaded ninja against silver haired...uh...well any attempt at saying something just fell apart when I rememberd that I haven't played Growlanser 2 and thus have no idea what Riviera DOES.

Anyway, this be the finals. Get your vote on now! Pool closes sometime next Wednesday(the 20th).

And as with the guys finals, picture voting will be counted, so feel free to do such if you want.

Nel Zelpher(SO3) vs Riviera(Growlanser 2)

Nel Zelpher(SO3) vs Riviera(Growlanser 2): Not Nel in the finals.

While giving Nel a pat on the back for beating Aya is tempting, I feel like going with Riviera anyway. Very elegant and sexy even if the art gives me nagging fanservice vibes.

Nowhere near the quality of last time's finals but not terrible or anything.

Actually, Riviera is a spy/ninja herself. But she plays like a mage, which is kind of disappointing.

On the other hand, if you have her attack physically with her stick, she screams "Respect mah authoritah!"

And yeah, Riviera gets my vote.

Ouch. Close match, but I'm still gonna have to go with Nel here. Nel really stood out to me from the start, and I don't think Riviera is final-worthy.

Nel Zelpher(SO3) vs Riviera(Growlanser 2) - I might've had to think if it was Cecilia here, but Nel?  Come on.

Wasn't going to vote due to laziness, but as long as Nitori is linking art...

Nel.

Nel Zelpher(SO3) vs Riviera(Growlanser 2) - From straight-out beauty here, Riviera seems to have a certain charm to her that Nel doesn't.

...mind, both are still far better than the eternal plainness that is Aya, or blahness that is FF art.

Nel.

Nitori's post should cover all the relevant reasons.

Excal has the worst taste ever.

Riviera.

I am sorry, Ciato, but when I look upon the silver hair of Riviera, I cannot help but compare it to the epitome of all silver haired lasses, and find her falling woefully short, such that even Yosuke in drag holds more appeal.  Indeed, there are none amongst the silver haired whose grace, whose charms, can even begin to touch those of the Pretty Soldier Sailor Ghaleon.

Truly, you can see my dialemma, and how faced with such a comparison, I am forced to vote for Nel.

Yosuke in drag looked better than about 1/3 of the entire contest, so you may want to look for things like Brahne in drag instead.

Nel Zelpher(SO3) vs Riviera(Growlanser 2- Nel. Man, I was under the impression that Riviera looked completely, completely different. Also, very anti-side ponytail.

Yeah, that's not the image I saw of her before!

It's fanart. Her official art can be found here:

Yeah, I must have been mixing her up with an awesome winged girl (Melvina...?).
Title: Re: Beauty Contest Finals - There Can Only Be One
Post by: Pyro on May 23, 2009, 02:20:23 AM
Melvina had the hat with wings.

Was expected to go far but was shockingly beaten by Nel in a move that trumps Ayu > Mai/Sayuri/Shiori for wtfness.

Edit: (now with 100% more "What is he talking about" comments)
Title: Re: Beauty Contest Finals - There Can Only Be One
Post by: DjinnAndTonic on May 23, 2009, 02:21:25 AM
And I agree with Dhyer, she's much better champ material than Riviera.
Title: Re: Beauty Contest Finals - There Can Only Be One
Post by: VySaika on May 23, 2009, 02:27:07 AM
Apparently I have a very fuzzy definition of "tomorrow". <_<;

Anywho, it would seem that...

Riviera has defeated Nel with a total of 16 - 9, and is this years Queen of Hotness in the DL.

I'm sorry that I am not awesome like Mia and can't really make a cool victory pic for her in celebration of this.
Title: Re: Beauty Contest Finals - There Can Only Be One
Post by: Sierra on May 23, 2009, 03:49:07 AM
Riviera winning is pretty cool as far as I'm concerned. Not many people in this tourney I'd have voted over her--though Melvina would've been one of them. Finalist Nel was definitely surprising, but there were a lot of wonky matches here. Cecilia getting as far as she did was the most WTF-inspiring part of it. I was baffled at that entire run. She's just so average. Granted, she also faced a number of mediocre contenders. Will of Hatbot at work, maybe.
