It's pretty much a popularity contest.

Unfortunately. Though Momiji did beat Marisa, if only by one vote. It proves there are people out there voting for moe. Of course, Momiji only pulled it off because she is both moe and fairly popular, but my point still stands.

What is supposed to happen: People vote for the Touhou they find most appealing, attractive, and cute.

What actually happens: People voting for their favorite character, without considering the 'moe' factor

You make turning this into a popularity contest sound like a bad thing.

The last Seimoe we had was in 2007 according to Kilga. With that the case, then I'm not sure we have ever had a popularity contest for western fans, and it could easily be another 4 years before we have another contest like this. I'm far more interested in which characters us westerners like the best than which ones we think are moe. I know what moe looks like. I know Chen and Momiji are moe incarnate, and I don't need a moe contest to tell me that. But I don't know if Momiji is more popular than Reimu, and that would be fascinating to find out.

Now, if we had a popularity contest once in a while that would be a different matter. But we don't have them, and this is the closest I may ever get to having one.

Well that's actually a good point. Now I can't help but think that a popularity contest would be more interesting then a moe contest. I hope we have one in the future, though for now I'm still voting moe. (My favorites tend to be the moe characters anyway, so it doesn't effect my voting much.)

Gpop · « **Reply #305 on:** December 09, 2011, 02:45:49 AM »

I actually see that this is actually being quite the opposite, it's actually people who feel is more moe than anything. Otherwise, we'd see Reimu and co blasting through all these polls.

Now I would say the reason why the PC-98 characters aren't getting any love is because they're still pretty unknown to some people. Not all, but some, which is greatly hurting their chances here.

Cadmas · « **Reply #306 on:** December 09, 2011, 02:52:54 AM »

Watching Alice vs pc-98 Alice is going to be the best.

iK · « **Reply #307 on:** December 09, 2011, 03:03:53 AM »

Hint: Windows Alice is going to have more than 5 times as many votes as PC-98 Alice.

Sophilia · « **Reply #308 on:** December 09, 2011, 06:35:54 AM »

And Mokou will win by a margin of less than '98 Alice's vote total. :trollface:

zeruna · « **Reply #309 on:** December 09, 2011, 07:08:46 AM »

A popularity contest between the old PC98 characters and more recent Windows characters sounds cool.

And thanks for the reply and my bad English.

Nearly every windows character is more popular than nearly every PC-98 character. The best PC-98 has going for it is Shinki and Mima, which are I guess more popular than like Kisume and Hourai?

zeruna · « **Reply #311 on:** December 09, 2011, 01:12:16 PM »

Too bad Mima didn't appear in TD.

Chronojet ⚙ Dragon · « **Reply #312 on:** December 09, 2011, 04:35:13 PM »

So yeah. Shou won only because she's a tiger. wut.

...
Welp. There are two Alices to choose.

BT · « **Reply #313 on:** December 09, 2011, 04:37:58 PM »

And one Mokou...

Tsalop · « **Reply #314 on:** December 09, 2011, 05:32:41 PM »

This was really hard choice between both Alices and Mokou... Even though Mokotan can be really moe
and classic Alice is way too cute, I still voted for current Alice.

zeruna · « **Reply #315 on:** December 09, 2011, 05:55:58 PM »

Gonna choose Alice(more recent one) 'cause I have very few knowledge about the PC98 Characters and I'm not much of a Mokou person.

iK · « **Reply #316 on:** December 09, 2011, 06:26:23 PM »

I take that back. Windows Alice is going to have more than 9 times the votes of classic Alice.

zephyredx · « **Reply #317 on:** December 09, 2011, 09:47:19 PM »

I will vote for Alice. It is the least I can do for Marisa now.

Having a hard time choosing between Alice or Mokou for this match :ohdear:

I'm not.

Go Mokou!

Dormio Ergo Sum · « **Reply #320 on:** December 10, 2011, 04:07:36 AM »

I don't really understand how Alice can be more moe than lolice, nor why people consider both Alice and Mokou to be moe in the first place, but whatever.

Zil · « **Reply #321 on:** December 10, 2011, 04:17:57 AM »

Both Mokou and Alice are pretty moe I'd say. I guess younger Alice is more moe than older Alice just becuase she's younger, but as far as I'm concerned, youkai don't age, and they're the same character. I don't have to worry about that nonsense though, since I'm voting for Mokou. Hopefully the Alice voters will be divided between the two options. (yeah right)

Kilgamayan · « **Reply #322 on:** December 10, 2011, 04:22:21 AM »

Fuck everyone's shit, I voted Orange.

Cute and moe aren't the same thing. Alice has a lot more depth as an adult and is more endearing as a result IMO.

Jana · « **Reply #324 on:** December 10, 2011, 04:27:27 AM »

Alice is plenty moe as an adult. :3

I'm far from an Alice fan, and I voted Mokou, but there are plenty of nice reasons to vote for Alice like if you find her cowardice moe, or you think she looks adorable, or simply that the whole doll thing is cute and stuff. You know, things that are actually about Alice. Using Alice as a cheap substitute for Marisa just gets my goat. No matter how hard you ship them, they still aren't the same person.

Wait what since when is Alice a coward. I thought she was a shut in who doesn't like people very much and gets into fights with Marisa a lot.

Since IaMP dialogue, if I recall correctly, though I may not since it's been forever since I last played it.
