Touhou Character Sorting - Now with HM and DDC characters!

[Imosa]

I don't suppose anyone here has control of this thing and can add an option at the beginning to exclude characters in the PC-98 era? It seems like a logical option.

You can manually exclude them by unchecking all their individual games on the bottom. Although I guess that's more awkward than it needs to be.

[Imosa]

I dunno how accurate this is. Hina shot up because of her weird god status and once that's sorted out she'll sink back. Also Suika dropped, her power is cool but kinda old. Top 4 havn't changed though. Renko should probably drop.
Does anyone know how this thing works?

Yeah, that sounds like a lot of work.

[Limian]

Does anyone know how this thing works?

To me, it appears as if it just uses the minimal amount of matchups to settle on a full list. A win stays a win, so if you have Yukari vs. Ran and choose Yukari, nothing you do later on will ever put Ran above Yukari again (which is why it's very easy to screw up), unless you click "undo last choice" immediately. Ties also stay ties, so if you tie Yukari vs. Ran, both will stay tied all the time, and Ran will not even show up in subsequent matches (assuming she was on the right side in the match; the game will just think if you choose Yukari over this one character, then you will choose Ran over this character as well). It will eventually just sort through all kinds of matches until each character has her (or his) definite placement in the list.

also considering you have youki, layla and myouren at 25, I'll assume everything at 25 and below is just don't care/don't like? that's a ton of characters if that's the case then, man :V

That's rather annoying. I might just never use this thing ever again.

Yeah, it seems something weird went on there. On one hand Myouren and Layla have more appeal to me then Kisume or Parsee, for example, because information on Myouren and Layla are strongly tied to Byakuren(15) and the nature of ghosts. However, there are plenty of characters below 25 who are on my mind a lot more, like Reimu.
Also, while I tried not to make this a factor, I do have a thing for background characters.

[Raikaria]

I don't think anyone is actualy surprised here. Except I would have thought Seiga and Shinki higher. [Weirdly enough I never got Shinki / Rumia, which would have gone to Shinki]

Clearly I have a thing for umbrellas with all three umbrella/parasoul wielders in the top 8.

The rest of the Top 15:

Go away male characters. And character who only showed up once.

[wailofthebanshee]

Am I hipster enough yet? :V

You have an amazing taste.

[Tengukami]

I found when I switched up ties, the grouping pattern changed. So I do think it whittles groupings and pairings down fairly well. Voting X over Y, and having Y never rank higher than X again, is a bit simplistic but I don't think enough to throw off the overall accuracy. But yeah, it's not pinpoint accurate.

Anyways:



From there, it was:

06. Hatate Himekaidou
07. Yumemi Okazaki
08. Rikako Asakura
09. Byakuren Hijiri
10. Reimu Hakurei
11. Marisa Kirisame
12. Reisen Udongein Inaba
12. Fujiwara no Mokou
12. Reisen (Manga)
12. Maribel Hearn
16. Yuyuko Saigyouji
16. Yukari Yakumo
18. Sanae Kochiya
19. Reimu Hakurei (PC-98)
20. Renko Usami

These results don't surprise me, although I expected Akyuu to be ranked lower. Way to go, you scholarly FM Synthesis freak!

[Reddyne]

Byakuren is the first to make a push for the top in some time. Miko is the first to challenge for the toilet bowl spot in some time.  There's still more than 100 places to go until that list reaches a point where I actively begin to even slightly dislike them. Overall, I'm very much a personality person, with a lot of top characters having traits I can love/admire/appreciate, with the bottom ones being just the opposite.

Used a back up browser and that seemed to work.

A lot of changes here. The main one being that Alice has shot up from 25 to 1. You can blame my dreams for that. Byakuren is also up from 8 all the way to 5. Nitori has also knocked quite a lot of characters down bringing her all the way from 18 to 5. you can also blame my dreams for that one. Probably the biggest change is that PC-98 Marisa has gone down from 11 to 85. That's still safely above modern Marisa though.

Reimu is still quite safe in last place and I don't know why elis and kikuri are that low.

[Jq1790]

Pretty sure this is similar/the same as last time, new characters having little influence since I don't really know them.  Oh well.

[Piranha]

First time I did this, and i'm not very surprised of the results. 



just as keikaku

[Wriggle]

The top 10 is perfectly accurate.

[chum]

The whole PC-98 version of characters thing messed it up a bit. At the moment, I find it regretful that Cirno isn't on it.

[Gesh86]

Cute little program. With it, I've found out what my top 11-20something actually are. It gets really hard to sort them at that point because in my head I'm simply thinking "I like this character a little above average."
Also, PC-98 characters were excluded. Would have just overcomplicated it for me.

[Validon98]

Well, I decided to do this because why not? I took out "others," because I don't really care too much. PC-98 stuff I left in, though.

Top Ten:
01. Koishi Komeiji
01. Byakuren Hijiri
01. Nue Houjuu
04. Kasen Ibaraki
05. Iku Nagae
05. Kana Anaberal
07. Yuuka Kazami
08. Mima
09. Remilia Scarlet

No surprises there. Yes, I like Kana. And Iku.

[DeltaSierra4]

Well well well... What a surprise I've got here.
The results have dramatically changed since I last did this. For starters... let's take a look at the top 40 because that's pretty much the characters I really seem to like.


(Click on the link for a higher resolution)

OK, so as you could see, my top 3 is still the 3Y (Yukari, Yuyuko, Youmu), and Sanae has shot up from 8th to 3rd (tie with Youmu!)
Yuuka has dropped out of the top 8 list, which has been pretty constant for the past 2 or 3 years, getting replaced by Tenshi (who was also rising in ranks recently)
However, all in all my top 6 or 7 have been pretty solid

1. Wait, WHAT? Aya jumped from 120 to 53?!?! Biggest change detected.
2. Also Momiji jumped from 50s to 10s. The great tengu movement y'all :derp:
3. Patchouli dropped from 20s to 50s. What is this I don't even
4. Koishi beat Satori for the first time ever. I blame her ability to manipulate my subconscious
5. I guess this is the best way to put it: I like everyone from the 1st place to 120th place. Any characters below I dislike (oops)

[LaserTurtle]

Hooray! I did stuff!
I sorta did a speedrun at some points, because of boredom, but generally the results were pretty expected.
_{that is a lot of 104's}

<Tengukami> That attachment was waaay oversized, and more or less unreadable. Try using imgur.com, and stay within our image size guidelines in TARC's sticky.

EDIT: Wait no I'm an idiot. Here's just the top 20 and bottom from 90 below.
EDIT AGAIN: Frig just have a end of file thingy because I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
Obsessive Edit combo: never mind I'm going to use imgur like a normal person would.
Top 20
Everything from 90 down

THERE IS ONLY HIJIRI, AND CATFISH IS HER PROPHET.



Nazrin, how did you end up hogging the space that should have gone to Kosuzu or Ibaraki?

Top 10, plus their ranking changes from the last time I ran the character sort (apparently dated 3-26-12)

Deciding that top two was super tough man

1   Shikieiki Yamaxanadu (+2)
2   Utsuho Reiuji (Okuu) (-1)
3   Tenshi Hinanawi (-1)
4   Yuyuko Saigyouji (0)
5   Sanae Kochiya (+10)
6   Reisen Udongein Inaba (0)
7   Kaguya Houraisan (+29)
8   Shinki (+3)
9   Fujiwara no Mokou (+5)
10   Kasen Ibaraki (new)

Oh hi, it's been a while since I was a serious Koishi fanboy, but I must say I am proud of you~ :V

I will get around to this...probably now :V

EDIT: I did, here's my sort. Unsurprising for the most part. Yeah Yuka is my second :V

[Yukarin]

1. Yukari (this isn't a surprise really)
2. Yuyuko/Ran (This I was. I thought Ran would be third)
4. Chen (I love the Yakumos)
5. Rin Kaenbyou (Orin) (Yeaaaaaaa)
6. Byakuren Hijiri (her theme made me like her a lot)
7. Patchouli Knowledge (I main her in UNL so this shouldn't be surprising)
8. Maribel Hearn (no comment)
9. Koishi Komeiji (yeaaaaaa)
10. Momiji Inubashiri  ( who doesn't like wolves?)

Top ten seems pretty accurate, after that it gets fuzzy.

[8lue Wizard]

Oh man, it's been AGES since I done this thang.



...And a lot's changed. That 3rd place spot was probably the hardest battle of the entire thing. Really, the top 4 could be in any order.

Nazrin's fallen a long way from 1st. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like I posted my previous run of this, only my very first one from '09. I'd love to see what else is different.
