Goofy post-double-eyelid-fold-surgery-eyepatch is moe as hell
I hope we get Annie and Umbrella in some day, and they can have an angry Uguu~-off for their intro animation.

Moe isn't an aesthetic, it's a feeling that a character is meant to evoke in the viewer - namely, protectiveness. It's not just a matter of aesthetics, though there are trends that some character designers will follow because they're seen as more reliable in evoking the feeling. A moeblob needs to act like one, not just 'look' the part.
But I digress. This is predestined to turn into a circular debate, but all I will offer is that it's pretty reductive to boil everything down to 'moe and 'not moe' in terms of who's voting for who in the character vote. There are plenty of good reasons to vote for characters like Annie or even Minette that don't just fall back on tired accusations of pandering.

Lies, she's supposed to be a badass. It'd be funny if her intro started off like that, but then she's all like fuck it, and shows her real colors.
Oddly, someone at the Something Awful forums mentioned something about GAF estimates (or was it counted votes?...) being closer to the resutls than other places the guy checked (doesn't list them all, so for all I know only GAF and SA were compared, but at some point someone at 4chan was counting votes too): http://forums.somethingawful.com/sh...rid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=162#post414420605

Laura Croft is more moe than Annie.
But GAF thought Scythana was the shit and she got bopped.

This is adorable.
In other news I have no fucking clue what my second vote will be. The first is sealed for Annie unless I think it into the ground and change my mind. All the remaining males are great in their own way. Beowulf is probably the most fun, Issac has a super unique playstyle and looks completely pimpin', and Panzerfaust is just awesome.
Aeon is pretty appealing as well, both in looks and gameplay. I'm picturing a general disinterest/boredom in the fight while using disjointed(!!!) glass, sand, and merchandise attacks. Also time bullshit. Attacks flowing in reverse is another cool deal. Oh I almost forgot the alternate-universe character mechanic. This could allow for a lot of creativity and maybe some fan service (not-dead last hope!) but I'm somewhat leery of it because it does mirror double's thing a bit too much for my liking.
Eliza I should probably like more but I'm not really feeling her for whatever reason. Odd as I was hype when she was first revealed.
So yeah, all my votes made it so far. Time to break out that cutting board. This ain't gon b easy.
Round 3 begins in 5 minutes!
When the actual vote results are posted after the end of Vote 2, they'll show everyone how wrong everyone is!
It will be great.

From what I understand, he was counting the "I voted for x, y and z" posts, and Scythana wasn't particularly well represented there. Stanley was #9, with Feng at #8 being the odd one out.
OK, guys, I'm going to break my own rules here and give you some mid-poll results...
Exactly 1 vote has been received at this time, and Eliza and Stanley are in the lead.
I'm not sure how exactly you divined that from my statement. But, uh... carry on? See how that works out for you.

So with mine that's at least a minimum 4 way tie between Eliza, Stanley, Beowulf, and Annie assuming only that guy and I have voted :V

You know, i'm actually curious as to what everyones 4 picks are along, with what characters they use in the game. I think it'd be interesting. Some what.

Okay #TeamBeon, time to represent.
Not according to my poll settings it doesn't - just checked them.
You can always select as many checkboxes as you want - it just won't let you continue if more or less than 2 aren't selected.

Feminists taught me that a fictional character with an hourglass figure is damaging to a girl's self esteem, and I'm guessing that they were all just referring to Aeon. So sorry, #teamsharktank.

Dice came up 2 so Eliza and Aeon it is. If Aeon were to make it I would really like it if her anime merchandise would play a bigger role in her playstyle.

Yay. I've been on the Eliza bandwagon since she was revealed. Her and Black Dahlia were tied for my number 1 so I'm reaaaally hoping Eliza can someone come out of this on top.
For someone who has shitty defense in every fighting game I play, Eliza is right up my alley. Keep hitting me and it can potentially come back to bite you in the ass. Plus she's hot =)
Still one of the best.
I love Eliza's blood based mechanic a ton as well. I'm assuming she could either be a recycleable point to anchor character or depending on how good the effects of her blood loss are, an extremely potent anchor. She'd really bring a great package from design to visuals to the roster.
It's funny though, initally my top two were her and Issac, but it's like so many people came out of nowhere and wedged themselves between the two and the space only gets more crowded. I'm going Annie/Eliza overall now, but man, if Feng has a revengeance next vote...
Edit: Oh wait, scratch that, I'm in a blood pact with Hsien-Bro. Go Annie!

Already voted Starwulf for this week. I did my part to save us from a world without Starwulf. Slot number 2 is all about Beowulf unless Eliza or Panzerfaust pulls some crazy stunts.
