Season 49 nom pools

[superaielman]

If you need an explaination, check this link. You can also ask questions in this topic.

Pools close at Saturday at 10pm EST, next week. You can nominate three characters per game, but only two characters per division. You have to have between four and six characters per pool, and all four divisions must be the same size. (Heavy, Godlike, and Middle can't have six people while Light has four, etc). There are no limits on the number of nomination pools, so take your time, check to see what looks interesting, and have fun. Anyone from season 46 and before is available to be nominated this season. Reaons are not needed to submit a pool, we just do that for fun.

Not actually an Admin pro-tip: this link should link to all characters eligible for nomination this season. Check this as well. It's Hal's nomchecker and it kicks ass.

[Sir Donald 3.2]

Meh... it could be worse.  You could be "Guy who Noms the guys who haven't gotten in in over 30 Seasons, possibly because noone cares about them!"

Oh, wait.  That's me.  Anyway...

WA4   Lambda Zellweger  (No! It's My Turn!)

FF9   Beatrix  (Same as Teepo but I've had to wait longer!  My Turn times Ten!)
Lunars   Ghaleon  (My Turn times Infinity!  Seriously.  15 Seasons in Godlike is like 45 in the lesser Divisions.)

Heavy:
Lunar2   Borgan (0-1, Season 19)
SO3   Fayt  (0-1, Season 20)
S2   Culgan ("Hey Culgan Man!" 0-1, Season 21)

GS   Saturos (0-2... in Godlike, Season 17)
SF2   Zeon (0-3... in Godlike, Season 23)

CC   Grobyc (Third longest w/o a match... Also Downgraded.)
SO2   Jibril (Up and Down... since Season 14...)

OB   Yushis  (Demoted Season 22)
PS2   Anna  (Demoted Season 24)

[Ultradude]

Godlike

1. Valvalis (FF4) - Spin to win!
2. Beatrix (FF9) - Too long a wait.
3. Piastol (SoA) - Sephiroth killer.
4. Lucia (Suikos) - Whip wielder who can nuke the fridge.
5. Kratos Aurion (ToS) - Totally should be able to win two in a row.
6. Ghaleon (Lunars) - Been so long. Time to die, Godlike!

Heavy

1. Jr. (XS) - XS3 hype?!?
2. Clive Winslett (WA3) - Can probably get another win.
3. Mithos Yggdrasil (ToS) - ToS needs a non-Sheena champ.
4. Vigoro (SoA) - Can he match Galcian's near-championship?
5. Saturos (GS) - Season 17. This is getting sad.
6. Fate (SO3) - Main character of a popular game with only one match?

Middle

1. Marle (CT) - More CT is always good.
2. Volke (FE9) - ... I like assassins. This was Jaffar, until I remembered that Volke needed a match.
3. Ena (FE9) - FE bosses need more wins!
4. Junpei Iori (P3) - New and interesting.
5. Lilly Pendragon (S3) - Flaming swordfight with Junpei!
6. Virginia Maxwell (WA3) - I wanna flyyyyyy awayyyyy!

Light

1. Slash (CT) - Marle + Season 12.
2. Vaida (FE7) - Manliest character in the game.
3. Garet (GS) - Good season for Mars Adepts.
4. Yukari Takeba (P3) - Healer with lots of SP in light. Possible first champ for P3?
5. Beecham (S3) - Cool and a good light.
6. Seth (FE8) - Follow up to Titania.

[Ayra]

Well, for one I was pretty happy last season about having so many of my picks taken! Had to actually reconsult the character listing this time instead of just copy-pasting the old pools... In case it's not obvious from the picks, I love kick-ass female warriors and in general the lower-ranked people of their categories.


Godlike

Piastol (SoA) Kick-ass
Purim (SoM) Less kick-ass, but decently large and fun spell list.
Ryu (BoF2) A less-overpowered-than-usual Ryu? Count me in!
Beatrix (FF9) Been a long time.
Rika (PS4) The little numan that got to the finals in Godlike. Can she pulls the upset again?
KOS-MOS (XS) Neat character, and lots of incarnations to pick from in matches.


Heavy

Ursula (BoF4) Might get to fight Lyn next season if she goes up. BoF Kitty gungirl vs BoF fox gungirl.
Nel Zelpher (SO3) My 2nd favorite character ever, awesome on all counts.
Nephenee (FE9) First female soldier in the serie, that looks awesome and is actually very good stats-wise.
Lyn (FE7) Swordmaster-with-a-bow hype.
Jean (Lunar2) Decent and rarely seen.
Lyon (S5) She's the character with the most lines in Suikoden V, so might as well get her some spotlight here too.


Middle
Katt (BoF2) Favorite character ever. Doubt her win rate is ever going to be too good though...
Florina (FE7) Where Lyn goes, Florina goes. Spear and pegasus, what's not to love?
Rauny (OB) Pretty neat Ogre Battle character that has an actual story and some importance. Spear and lightning bolts, what's not to love?
Aelia (VP1) Spear and dragon, what's not to love?
Marle (CT) Spe... oh, just a crossbow and ice spells. It'll do anyway.
Tifa Lockheart (FF7) Eh, needed someone from FF7 to replace my Barret pick with. Arguing-on-the-forums-about-roulette-slot-attack-odds hype.


Light

Kahn (BoF4) C'mon, it's Kahn. No explanations necessary.
Yushis (OB) We need more angels in games. Too bad that the area effect of her spell is wasted here (Like Rauny).
Lelei (S5) Ultra-loyal guardian with questionable interests. Oh, and heavy armor hype I suppose.
Tao (SF1) Blaze IV hype, plus she's nearly first in number of lines spoken from a character in this game (2 lines).
Taya (SF2) Yuna's Aeons are puny in size compared to Taya's summons.
Estella (S3) How will she fare without her bodyguard/slave? Time to find out!

Who is Octaley Niu?

[Niu]

Axel, I think.

[DjinnAndTonic]

Ah! Akutare!

Yeah, okay, you should have just spelled it in straight romaji and we would have figured out it was Dis2 Axel's Japanese name. >.>;;

[Niu]

As a die hard N1 fan, I am subjected to how it should really be spelled. *Points to the credit of the Jp. ver. of Dis2

[DjinnAndTonic]

But there's a sprite in Dis2 that clearly displays 'Akutare' in romaji...

Eh, good to know how the credits spelled it, but as usual, there's not much consensus in how katakana names should be romanized...
