People knowing her doesn't make her mainstream - not even her series. Which was what Tommy's post was about. And in spite of not being mainstream, she got to the finals and lost to a mainstream character for only 1 vote. She's a very good reference for this topic, yes.
Pretty sure a lot of people saw Spice and Wolf though. :grumble Many of her supporters in that event did. Most that voted against her did so because they never saw the series so they defaulted to what they knew. Which is exactly what Xad is saying. Had Spice and Wolf been even half as much known as you say it was she wouldn't have come as far at all.

Not that this is related to this match at all.

But Holo, Holo is one of anime's most iconic characters, outliving her franchise's mainstream moment and still showing up at top characters lists to this day.
So no, you're wrong. :nod She's mainstream af.
She's not '-' I could use chart numbers for that, but have it your way.
She's still proof that you don't have to go with uber popular characters and fan service bait to win it.
That's still just lazy if you ask me. Ik your refined taste is also fond of mainstream stuff.

That's untrue, many people voted for her due to how Lambu sold her, and trusting the opinion of others that passed a view on her as being amazing - specially in comparison to FT chars and Mikasa, who are portraited as plain. Again, I could use charts for that, LOL. Being known doesn't mean mainstream.

She may have been close, but the winner was in the end an uber popular character. At best you can say Holo proves that a (non uber) popular character can come far but not win it.

A campaign and support-posts do help, but they alone will never carry some non-popular character far(which Holo wasn't). Thinking that is lying to yourself.

How did I win with Hak tho? '-' He wasn't more popular than a DGM character FOR SURE.
That was pretty much a tie (between Hak and Mikasa)... and then, again, there's Hak. Many people that voted on him heard about him thru the event...

Holo's show might not be the mainstream property, while it certainly had it's mainstream moment.

So no, you're wrong. :nod She's mainstream af.
If doggy girl was all that she would have been nominated....

That's a different event though, hard to compare that. Not sure how the statistics on number of people participating in it even is compared to the waifu one, and they seem to have a different degree of seriousness/salt involved. Can't say anything about DGM since I don't know that series at all whatsoever, only through Erin. And even within popular series(like FT) are characters even the fans of the series hate.

We could also wait and see if a very popular character wins this event again for the 3rd time.

Imo it's the same thing, with different genders. Usually candidates win turns with 20-30 votes, that was the same in the Husbando one. I'm not saying being mainstream isn't a great advantage, but campaigning good nominations can carry you to a title, that's not lying to any self, it has happened... And again, picking popular good nominations is also always an option.

My problem was more with the fact that people go for those kind of characters over actual good nominations. These events are meant for picking a winner that's most suitable as wife or husband.

Most nominations are not that, and not just in my opinion, but in actual human standards, the fact that most of them are actually popular characters is a whole different thing.

The Aqua campaign is all smoke a mirrors so far.:eyeroll

Nobody can explain who she is. Nobody can explain much about her. @Sky promised me sexy fanart and has not delivered on that promise (Which I'm pretty sure is a crime in Germany). I'm trying to give her a chance Sky but if you don't give me something I can't give you my vote.

The fuck you smoking, so many people have explained who Aqua is, CLEARLY you're choosing to be ignorant and not read the posts per usually just like every other person in this thread whose voting for a character who let's see has borderline looks a slut, and yes she does look like a slut and has no PERSONALITY what so ever like show me ACTUAL GAME PROOF not SOME SIDE COMIC OR ANIMATED SHORT.

There is one post in this entire thread that taught me ANYTHING about Aqua. It's this one.

Aqua is by far one of the best KH characters ever (what the shit Kairi? You aren't Udata Hikaru!).
She has a personality. Sure. many characters say they will protect their friends. But she actually DOES it. She changes whole worlds to fit her needs. She changes her homeworld into a castle of memories to save her "little brother" Ventus. She throws herself into the darkness to save her friend Terra. She fails, but she still won't give up. Aqua is a true hero!
It's not much but it's the best I've managed to pull out of you Kingdom Hearts people.:eyeroll

Just vote Mercy. Clearly Sky doesn't care ;)

If you want votes I recommend being kind :redface

So she is sexy. Doesn't make her a slut and if she likes to have fun there is nothing wrong with that. :)

Here are her in game interactions (they keep adding). It shows she cares for everyone because she keeps asking about their health and well being.

It's her Zhuque skin. It's a Vermillion Bird that represents the south and is Suzaku in Japanese. :redface She's like Miaka!!

I voted for Aqua earlier on, seemed like there is more going for her based on the discussion. I relied on that since I know nothing/little about both (I briefly played OW, I liked Mercy, knew nothing about her though). I kinda regret voting now.

This character war would've been fun last round against Emma, but she lost so that's old news.

What does genre matter? Sure RPGs are better for experiencing the story through the game, but just because OW is a competitive multiplayer game at it's core, doesn't mean the characters having nothing to them. Complaints about comics, stories, or cinematics don't seem very valid to me IMO. Just because you have to take an extra step to get the whole story doesn't mean the story is nonexistent (you might not like the story or the medium, but that's not what's being talked about here).
