VIPER Girl of the Year 2009 (VGOTY2009) Online Poll

[JG]

So just who is the most popular VIPER girl?

Over the next six and a half weeks, we'll find out here.  Sixty-four of the most significant VIPER girls have been seeded into a tournament bracket, similar to those that most Americans (and some of you non-Americans) may be used to around this time of year.  Week by week we'll eliminate half the field in 1-on-1 showdowns until we crown a champion.

The 64 girls have been ranked based on general popularity and recognition, with a slight edge given to those that have large fan bases on this forum (which explains why Miki is a #1 seed instead of Asuka.)  The overall #1 will face #64 in the first round, #2 faces #63, and so on down the line.  There has been no reordering beyond the initial ranking so don't accuse me of giving any particular character(s) a harder or easier path to the championship.  The only bias involved is where I felt a character was ranked in relation to others, not which bracket they're in or who they would face in early rounds.

Some additional information of note:
* All polls will be set for 7 days and results will be hidden until the poll ends. EDIT: There seems to be a problem with the forum regarding hiding posts after voting, so what I previously said isn't exactly true.  Sue me.
* In the event of a tie, the higher seed will advance.
* The first round will be split across 4 days and the second round across 2 so as not to flood the forum with polls.  Beginning with the third round, all matchups will begin on the same day.
* There are four divisions, each seeded 1 through 16.  There is no rhyme or reason to the makeup of these divisions and characters from the same series are, in most cases, spread across multiple divisions as a result of the rank-seeding algorithm.  For semifinals, the Red division champion will face the Blue division champion, and Green's will face Purple's.
* Feel free to argue for (or against) certain characters, comment on your favorite matchups, which bracket is best (or worst), or rant about who got a lousy seed or matchup.

[Moge]

Don't see any options or polls.  Are we just posting to count as a vote?

[bfg00]

Click on the links in JG's post and that will take you to the polls.

[Moge]

Can't say i see these magical options in any of JG00's posts.  Here's what i'm looking at-->

Scroll up.  Poll options appear before the initial post in any thread.

[dontpanic]

two RSR girls in one bracket?!

hey c'mon, that's not fair at all.

[Hyperguy]

Maybe they'll end up facing each other at the bracket's neck.  In a lightsaber battle.

Acutally, all of these versus matches and crossovers are excellent fodder for what-ifs and fan works.  If only we could have Narsha vs. Gel every day!

[JG]

Thats just the way it worked out in the seeding algorithm.  Other series faired little better though: Rise ended up with three of its six girls in the same bracket and F40 got its two primary characters in the same bracket.

[Saika]

I'm guessing we vote for one in all of them right???

[Moge]

Ya know there's probably less than three members on this forum who would even know half of the Viper women on the polls.

It'd be far better if you had a picture of each girl getting raped to accompany the match-ups. 

[Saika]

Of all of them I just Know like.....15 or more I think.

Because there us to be a web sit that had all the girl's names and when you clicked a name you could  see her gallery.

[JG]

I'm guessing we vote for one in all of them right???

Yes.  Each poll is a seperate vote.  (So you have up to 32 selections to make in round 1, 16 in round 2, etc.)

[JG]

It'd be far better if you had a picture of each girl getting raped to accompany the match-ups. 

Feel free to post them for others.

[VelcroStraps]

My money's on Cala to win the whole thing.

[黒い灯影]

There's pretty much free promotion for Cala on the right side of the screen....
don't matter which one your voting for... Cala will see who you vote for....

[Moge]

RSR was a nice send-off for the series.

Has yet to be determined, but with a rack like that how could Cala lose?

[黒い灯影]

If Cala were real, she'd probably look something like this.....

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

...without the mosaic face, of course.

[Moge]

I'd love to see some Cala cosplay, or any Viper cosplay for that matter. 

[JG]

RSR was a nice send-off for the series.

But M3 came later.  It was last.

[JG]

I'd love to see some Cala cosplay, or any Viper cosplay for that matter. 

Sogna put out some.  I think there's some Carrera and Akira in Illustrations 1.  There's some in the LTDs.  And the later calendars had a lot.
Here's the 2003 Calendar images from LTD 4:

January (Carrera, Mercedes, & Ratty in OVA/V6R-style clothing)
February (Kaoru and Rika)
March (Jota)
April (Rika)
May (Saori and Meg)
June (Akira)
July (Jota and Cala)
August (Akira, Rika, Kaoru, and Carrera in original-style clothing)
September (Carrera in original-style clothing)
October (Mercedes in OVA-style clothing)
November (Kaoru and Rika)
December (Cala and Jota)


And now that I've one-upped 黒い灯影's Cala, I have to wonder who that mosaic girl is...
