Update: Below are the characters in this year's Character Cup. I hope some of your favorites made it in. If you have a minute, please look them over and let me know of any spelling mistakes, etc. Don't forget that the prediction contest will open in a couple of hours.

Nominations are now closed and it's time to finalize our bracket. Today is all about the nominating and ranking polls. The Last of Us had the same number of nominations for both characters, so it has a “Choose Your Champion” nominating poll and the winner of it will advance to the Cup.
We also have ties in some crucial positions so anyone in the top half who got the same number of nominations will have ranking polls. Ranking polls simply determine where a character falls in the brackets. All of these characters are already in the Cup. Any other tying characters will be ranked randomly to reduce the sheer amount of polls we would have. Polls will stay open until around 11 am CST on June 16. Questions? Put them in the comments below. Happy voting!
1. If you don't see your favorite characters, that does NOT necessarily mean that they didn't make it in. Many characters, including the top 10, are already set and don't need a poll. In the nominating poll, the character with the most votes will proceed into the contest. In the ranking polls, each character is already in the Character Cup.
2. You can only vote for 1 character per poll and no voting results will be shown.
3. Polls will close around 11 am CST on June 16. The prediction contest will begin shortly after that. Things go rapidly in the Character Cup so check in daily to keep from missing anything.
4. Don’t forget to say who you voted for in the comments. It’s a great place to talk up your favorites, too. Also, if you have additional ideas for our TV Talk Topics, post them here. Again, happy voting!
