Ulti's Analysis
Kudos to Zen for that pic. You can kind of see how amazing he is and how terrible I am when you match our stuff up in the same image =p

Anyway the numbers here are obviously a mega-blowout, but the -atherines didn't do that badly. We've seen mega-niche Atlus characters in polls before, and it's never pretty. Laharl only got to win a match because TWEWY is somehow even less known than Disgaea. I'm sure other Atlus characters have gotten into polls, or maybe not, but I'm way too lazy to actually look any of this stuff up when this entire PCA should be the five words "this contest sucked, moving on".

But the point here is Team TJF was the embodiment (ha) of how things like "ingenuity" and "innovation" in game design still trump multimillion dollar graphics engines that rebuild molecules and s***. Who cares? Make a game fun, it's all that counts. The game sold something like 500k copies, and led to the most feel-good 27% you'll ever see in a contest poll. There was even a time when people pointed to this and mentioned Kirby having a chance at pulling the upset.

Not that fun stuff could possibly happen this season, but hey.
