How?! I thought she was really popular among the 90s waifus, even though she's gone. RIP.

@nirererin Western fans have a massive boner for annoying tsundere waifu. No offense to Trigun, good anime, but who the f wants to spend their life with nagging Meryl Stryfe?

Most beautiful retro waifu lost 😭

@DeathkoI like both and was still shocked, I expected a good battle but favored Otonashi. However, hey, I think we should curse this matchup; that was deadly, ngl T\_T

Honestly, if I state the facts, most users here don’t know anything about 70–80% of the characters actually competing. And if I dig a little deeper, many haven’t even watched a single anime from the 90s, lol. But the votes keep coming, waifus are losing, so it is what it is :p NGE is an exception, though, since it’s a mainstream anime.

Lum
Pluto
Motoko
Misato
Venus (@MinakoBestGirl , I was going to anyway :p)
Fujiko (no, deedlit!! someone help fujiko T_T)
Faye

@nirererin Thanks! 😊 Sailor Venus appreciates it.

@MinakoBestGirl Here are some compliments for Fujiko Mine-



Are you convinced to vote for Fujiko Mine now, or do I need to put in more effort 🥺??

Fujiko Mine is great, but have you considered voting for Deedlit, the iconic Elvish beauty that also comes from a fine and well-known franchise?









(edit: I resized these two still images a little; they were too big and made browsing the thread harder)

@Adnash Forgive me for this, but in the Tomboy Tourney I voted for her dark counterpart, which I've always kind of liked better. Dark elves are hotter. ROFLMAO

Well... It seems that all of my nominees will be gone once this round ends, lol. Four of them are most likely to lose their match-ups. But it's not a shame to lose against their opponents. They are indeed amazing, popular and simply iconic (Fujiko Mine, Misato Katsuragi, Chun-Li). In most of cases, at least. I don't know the character that Bulma is against. xD

Round of 32
Urumi Kanzaki
Akane Tendou
Madame President
Lum
Sailor Pluto
Sailor Mercury (nooo, that was tough; but I prefer Sailor Mercury a little bit more than Motoko Kusanagi)
Meryl Stryfe (poor Meryl)
Keiko Yukimura
Polaris Hilda
Sailor Venus
Deedlit
Bulma
Shampoo
Aika Sumeragi
Faye Valentine
Sawa

@Deathko @Supersonic_Pain Thank you! I'm glad I was able to convince you to vote for Hilda in the previous round! :D

Worked on me too :P but this round...such an unfortunate match-up >_< not only is Chun-Li a character I've liked for many years, but she is also my nomination this time.

@TheMinkalex Fujiko Mine faded into oblivion :p her Battle Portrait seems to have disappeared :)

@Sheol01 No worries, Pirotess is also a great character with awesome design. If we take off personality and role in the story, then well, I'd have to think a little if I had to choose between Deedlit and Pirotess, lmao.

Oh, by the way, I was the one who nominated her in the Tomboy Tournament. xD

@Adnash ................ROFLMAO>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Great Taste. Too bad she didn't last, but my favorite nominee fell in Round 1 mainly because people in that contest are only familiar with the Ranma 1/2 remake & she hasn't been introduced yet.
