Fun fact: Did you know that breast fetish in japan is actually originated from America? Japanese women back then has have had smaller breasts than their Western counterparts. But in late 19th century, after the western occupation in Japan, their body changes due to the western eating habits. Since Nutaku is from America, it might explain Black Baccara popularity,

So, i guess i'll end up voting Cepha...but i really want to conform the 2* alliance and go for Mint. >.< (Which would also be cool, since i've heard the ilustrator still draws her from time to time as if she weren't a mob character, so he would be happy to do the work again.)

Amaryli was the perfect dream...but it sunk.

Yeah, I expected I might have to give up on Amaryllis and rally behind another 2* but I never thought the gap would be so huge.I really thought the 2*s had a chance, and maybe they would if the forum crowd was larger but it seems most people have no idea. Maybe they expect that we'll be getting the top girl for free or something. Alpinia has 8x the votes of Mint and I don't think we can make up that gap, since people will continue voting for her and the other top 3 Even for Cepha I'm not sure of her chances with only half the votes of Alpinia... but I have to try!

Gonna dump my vote for Convallaria + Toad Lily. Just hope one of em get 3rd.

Man am I glad I backed cepha. Even if it was only 1234 tickets I feel like I helped her get up there in the top 10.

It's probably people did not know that the contest simply add the "bride" version of the most popular girl into gacha. But to aware that fact, you have to go to dmm and japanese website to know about that. And Japanese is one the hardest language to learn for English speakers.

Secondly, some Nutaku popularity contest did boost character summon rate in Gacha. Kanpani girls Popularity poll and Flower Knight Facebook Popularity contest is one of the example. That's probably why people were expecting that the most popular character will have gacha boost rate.

Yuki in last place. No one is surprised.

--Did 500 total on Scarlet, 0 on Snowflake (eh); where should the rest go? Is anyone still going with Mint, or is "everyone" going Cepha?

I just mean, considering how all the 6* and 5* girls are at the top of the leaderboard, it just means that those who don't know any better are blindly voting on their favourite 6* girl that they wish they had. Or at least that's what I believe. Even without the bride thing, I wish people'd be voting for girls they had (lower star girls).

I also though about that for the explanation of the popularity of Baccara, but man, even if people like breasts, her ballons are too much even for anime characters, which have big breast almost by default. And heck, would i see a woman IRL with such a rack a i would be primarly scared, secondly i would feel sorry for someone with constant back pains.

But yeah, 2* dream and 3* is totally super dead. Some (maybe) interesting numbers:

Total votes for 2* were 72328, meaning that if the 2* alliance were in full agreement of voting the same girl, she would only have placed 7th.
Similarly, total votes for 3* were 91299, so that would bring her to 6th.

You would need ALL the votes EVERY girl at 2* and 3* got to get her to 2nd place.....yeah ;-;
And general numbers. The percentage of the total that every rarity got:

2* -> 5.02%
3* -> 6.3%
4* -> 16.65%
5* -> 32.84%
6* -> 39.1%

And then there's the issue of votes for 5 nd 6* being more focused ont the winnin characters. Aut of the votes for each rarity, the first girl of that rrity got:
2* (Mint) -> 25% (out of 12 characters)
3* (Blue Lotus) -> 13.7% (out of 21 characters)
4* (Cepha) -> 29.1% (out of 15 characters)
5* (Orchid) -> 34.4% (out of 7 characters)
6* (Mctitties) -> 34.3% (out of 5 characters)

Ps: Yes, i do math when i'm bored....please don't judge me >.<

Edit: Jess, rather than voting for girls they had, i would be just fine if they voted for girls they like, which is the point of the contest. I don't belive 6* are the characters with better design, voice, lines and personality. Sadly, people are voting for stats or for their best girl, missing the point completely.

Welp, after what happened to Facebook popularity contest. People were already expecting the most popular character will have boosted rate in gacha. And Slice character is the 1st spot in Facebook Popularity contest. This contest is pretty much the same as the Facebook contest, so it might explain the similar result.

Le sigh. Begin the Unlimited Orchid works; Standard Orchid, Orchid Alter, Orchid Lily, Orchid Bride, Orchid EXTRA, etc etc.
