Right; soon enough we will arrive at the more difficult decisions. Probably the last relatively breezy round we will receive, actually.

Bracket C

1. Ada Wong; something of an indifference vote.

2. Oh, definitely Schala Zeal. I find Reco ridiculously unappealing in the latest image, but she is certainly no heiress to Zeal even at the best of times. Some of the best hair ever, bar none. Seems like it may be "farewell to Schala" this time, though. Here is to the woman who was probably the only contender clothed from neck to toes to pass through the tournament.

3. Somewhat of a more difficult choice this time, actually; Rinoa is definitely the more attractive woman, but this particular image of Chun-Li is an undeniably awesome one. Rinoa it is, but kudos to Chun-Li for putting up a considerably improved fight.

4. Lara Croft; very much an anti-Tira vote, as, frankly, "ugly" is not too strong a word for our Soul Caliber contender. :yuck: Having some difficulty pinning down precisely why I feel this way, but most likely it is linked to the manner in which, viewed from the right angle, the mascara and lipstick spell out the word "prostitute" in size 3 font . . .

Bracket D

1. Yuna, as my efforts to comprehend how the other creature may be considered remotely attractive continue to fail. The latest Dizzy image is really quite vile; you cannot fuse an attempt at cuteness with a prodigious achievement of skankiness and expect an attractive result. Other Dizzy images have failed to change my mind on the matter, whereas Yuna at least retains the odd attractive attribute (see: braid, half-skirt, torso emblem and subsequently lightly revealed torso).

2. Kid. Alright, my lady, 'tis time to put the pretenders in their place. As I say, for me, it all comes down to this image, and on its basis alone I would cast my vote for Kid against any contender opposite thereto. > > http://i25.:bou::bou::bou::bou::bou::bou::bou::bou::bou::bou::bou::bou:/20pzmn7.jpg It depicts a rare moment of stillness and inaction in Kid's raging, nomadic life, where her concentration is taxed by nothing more complicated than the management of her hair. It is a dreamlike moment (the blue eyes stare off aimlessly, as if relaxing) in which her aggressive personality settles, and all self-consciousness dissipates. She does this task practically, holding the second ribbon poised between her lips, totally unaware of how beautiful she appears. Also of note:

3. Naomi Hunter, due to the latest incarnation of the anti-Yukiko-Mitsuru campaign.

4. Quistis Trepe, because of this: Imageshack - 2931442871ks3.jpg , the fact that the latest image showcases a nice look of its own , and that Selphie is irksome to behold. Seems as if the latter might have two -- maybe three -- possible poses before that absurd garment of hers becomes completely pointless. A little girl playing a woman's game, and fortunately Quistis is more than ample woman to put the child to bed.

Only a deal-maker for some of us, mate.
