Who's Tumblr's Favorite Soulcalibur Character?

This is a sideblog run by @thesilvershire. The bracket template comes from Challonge. The images are sourced from the Soulcalibur Wiki, sometimes with edits made by myself.

And the winner is...

Yoshimitsu!

Here are some statistics about the bracket:

Yoshimitsu vs Xianghua received 54 votes, the most of any poll.

Ivy received 33 votes against Xiba, the most of any character in a single poll.

Sophitia was the most popular original Souledge character.

Yoshimitsu was the most popular Soulcalibur newcomer (duh).

Talim was the most popular Soulcalibur II newcomer.

Tira was the most popular Soulcalibur III newcomer.

Hilde was the most popular Soulcalibur IV newcomer.

Ashlotte was the most popular bonus character.

I'm not sure what--if anything--I'll do next on this blog, but thank you so much for participating in these polls!

[soulcalibur-bracket]

my main lost (😭) but it was still a lot of fun! maybe in the future you could do a bracket for ships or costumes?

Tumblr is just now showing me this ask like half a year later. Gotta love this well-functioning website 🙃

Anyway, I think a costume bracket is a great idea. I'm a bit too busy to do it at the moment, but I'd definitely like to revive this blog sometime.

Thanks for the suggestion and sorry it took so long to answer!

Just like last time, four groups to decide who will get the open spots. However there is a odd number so we might do a Last Chance Preliminary poll once again. The top 3 of each group will move on to the bracket. The rest are banished to catering forever.

The preliminaries themselves will be out soon hopefully in the next hour or so. Thank you for the support and here's to another fighting game tournament.

Also been dead for a month so tagging for visibility, however you are not obligated to. If you do, then thank you very much.
