Of course, if you prefer Caeldori, then knock yourself out; I'm going to vote for several characters who'll be far away from the top 20 myself.

I prefer Caeldori and the other characters, which I would vote are Nergal and Yen'fay, both are far away from the top 100. I do not vote for already added characters, like Sigurd or Ephraim.

UGHHHHHHHHHHHH

Stop voting for your faves and vote for people with an actual shot

Leo could make it, maybe Cordelia too but like, why Klein ._.

This is why I'll vote for Hector and Ephraim for the men's side.  Eph is my second-favorite of the male characters that have a realistic shot.  

Maybe Nino would borrow a dagger from Jaffar.  First Blade-dagger or Brave dagger user in the game.

I would like to see them stop splitting the vote for certain characters by including every version of the character.  Some have been in so many games, like Marth, that it significantly hampers their chances.

I went with Elincia today but then I thought maybe I should go with characters not yet in the game so they could get the Farfetched Heroes treatment.
So next is Jill for sure.

Ephraim is leading on reddit.  Still needs lots of votes b/c there's no telling how the JP and more casual fans will vote (other than lots of Marths though I don't think enough).

Also Eirika, Nino, and Celica all may have a shot if other groups of people behave like Reddit.

Voted for "Disgusting" meme.
... what? We need to supply IS with more memes and therefore make the next CYL banner a purely memed one.

Other than him, I will probably vote for "Magic is Everything" and "Just Anna". I kinda wanted to vote for Jill but since they kept the division between FE9 and FE10 there is no way to rally for her. Anna is kinda suffering from the same since she has 3 different incarnations to vote for.

Eh, while the disgusting meme definitely helps him out, Ephraim has a few other advantages.

He's one of the more badass lords in the FE franchise, taking an entire kingdom on with a handful of men (and the game emphasizes this more than other games do)
Ephraim and Eirika are arguably the best brother/sister couple in FE.  Only other couple this good is Celica/Alm ( I know they're not brother/sister but they fill that role)
Great lord gameplaywise.  He's not Ike/Sigurd OP, but he's certainty very useful.
He has more memes than just "Disgusting".  He "Doesn't pick fights he can't win", and some other smaller memes.
Ephraim vs Chrom made a lot of people like both characters a lot more in the first VG
We have a lot of SS content coming in, so SS is fresh in people's minds.

I also hope the units don't take 8 months to come out again.

I suspect the delay last time was to see where the meta was going so they could build the CYL Heroes around that (so they'd be relevant right out of the gate), so they make be quicker this time.

However, we need to know how long it takes IS to design Heroes. If they only know which ones to make at the end of this week, the delay may come from the fact that they need to figure out what kind of units to make with what stats and skills (unlike the normal banners which they can plan as far back as they want).

You do realise you just compared a sibling pair to a romantic couple, right? :P

In all seriousness, I agree and would love for the Renais Twins to win this (I for one will be voting for Eirika all week). Also, I must say I'm very surprised and thrilled at the support they're getting here and on Reddit out of seemingly nowhere. What happened?!

OG Art with Ephraim in it has sprung up literally every day for the past four consecutive days and was on the front page those four days.  Redditers are fairly susceptible to the bandwagon appeal.

Playing Devil's Advocate:
- Is "Badass" a synonym for "reckless" or even "stupid"? He practically left his sister and father die while he went after a fight he couldn't win by himself.
- I see you like Incest. Please stand away at least 3 feets from me, okay?
- He is only good in his route and he has the typical Lord syndrome of having a very late promotion. Doesn't help that his game has Seth.

I like Jill too but she has no chance of winning, or even placing Top 10.  You could vote for the other redhead wyvern riders Minerva, Cherche, or even Milady, who is inexplicably not in the game despite being S++ tier and able to solo an entire game.

 

As far as memes go, I haven't heard Nowi being mentioned.  I'd argue she has the most memes out of everyone, due to being the official romantic interest of Wrys.  Also the endless discussion if she's "legal" (you're all going to hell lol)

Don't know where you got that I like incest....

Anyways, I would say at first he appears reckless and stupid.  However, he usually does just fine in his reckless pursuits.  I wouldn't say he left his sister and father to die, my read was that he was trying to get to the castle as soon as possible to save his father and sister (who presumably where still there).  My understanding is he happen to be out at the time Grado attacked (or he was meeting Grado at the battlefield) when Grado took castle Renais and then he was attempting to recapture the castle in a heroic effort to save Eirika and his father, but couldn't get there in time.  Also the whole  "don't pick fights I can't win" meme is actually solid evidence that he isn't afraid to retreat if he's outmatched.  As far as letting Eirika go off on her own to save her allies,  it was both Eirika and Ephriam's suspicion that that was going to be a fairly safe task.  Certainty safer than charging Grado head on which is what Eirika would have done if she hadn't gone to the neighboring kingdoms.  And if you're on Eirikas route, Ephraim isn't afraid to sacrifice all his best men to go with Eirika even though his task is much harder.  

Just cause he's strong doesn't mean he's reckless.  Is Link reckless when he tries to fight Ganon and his army all by himself?

-Agree somewhat with the first point, but I think he had no way of getting back home so he chose to fight.
-Whatever get's him voted. But I think he meant pair of siblings.
-At least Ephraim can be good in his route unlike a certain princess (still like your character though Eirika)

Ephraim is amazing on his route.  I don't like Eirika's route because she's too soft on Lyon.

Pretty sure that isn't a trait that IS goes after.
Otherwise I would question the lack of Rutger, Marcus or Haar more than Miredy.

@Lushen
You're trying to compare a nameless Hero with a Prince who has to bear responsibilites, including ascending the throne. Ephraim fighting his private war is not something he should do at this position and his only reasoning fighting in 5x is to diverge Grado from the castle (which probably happened quite a bit earlier since Kyle mentions the capital fell). There is nowhere mentioned or even implied he wanted to recapture Renais at that point and he is literally fighting to buy time for something that is already long lost.

By the time he marches against Grado he has a proper army behind him. Not to mention Kyle and Forde are just 2 Knights so he can safely bear them to Eirika (who probably doesn't get a Freilian escort in her route).

I am voting for my favs not yet in the game, so today my vote went to Naesala the same as last time.  Tomorrow will be Kaze, then Priam, Zihark, Nailah, Elphin and Lornez.  I don't care if they don't have a shot at winning, I just want them in Heroes so I hope my votes will help them get in.

Silly Zeratul. Don't you know? Ephraim does all that because he never loses. He never fails. 

Because he doesn't pick fights he can't win. 

Translation: "Bitch, I'll win cause I'm Ephraim."

Assuming if Celica manages to get at least 2nd(IF) I'm predicting she'll get her Overclass as her outfit probably have her Beloved Zofia making her a sword infantry maybe a blessing skill based on her brand on her hand with Hidari art I'd be sold!

The only alternate outfit I can think of for Celica is a sword unit, holding the Beloved Zofia sword.

You know Eirika and Ephraim both being braves in the same event would actually be kinda cool. Even if Ephraim isn't my favorite.

I mean yeah there's other minor characters that I would love to win like Cormag but Ephraim is the only character I want to win that has a shot. If Ephraim wins, I'll probably sit future cyl out.

... *facepalm* 

You realize that was sarcasm, right? 

I absolutely despise Ephraim because of that. I hate him more than Corrin.

I mean that is quite literally the reason people like Ephraim. Some people find cockiness appealing, as long as it's not narcastitic. Especially if they really are that good.
