Ahirsch101

ahirsch101 was a longtime lurker on Board 8 who has participating with varying degrees of success in the Character Battles and other contests ever since Character Battle VI in 2007. With the announcement of Character Battle IX in 2013, ahirsch decided to come out of hiding and take on an active role on the board.

ahirsch101 started a rally to get Welkin Gunther from Valkyria Chronicles into the Character Battle. Despite having no prescence to speak of on the board, he successfully picked up enough nominations to get Welkin in as a 12 seed (where Welkin was promptly placed in an unwinnable match with Mega Man X, but ignore that part).

ahirsch101 has also started the Best Animated Series 2013 tournament, taking the 32 highest nominated anime shows and 32 highest nominated Western cartoons, and randomly placing them in a bracket. The tournament, which is currently ongoing, has already produced several exciting close matches decided by only a point, such as Fullmetal Alchemist over Futurama.

ahirsch101's favorite games are JRPGs, including Valkyria Chronicles, Xenoblade Chronicles, and Final Fantasy Tactics, just to name a few.
