Looking it up, the poll ran as such:
- 20: ochamaru
- 19: mizuki
- 18: zankuro
- 17: kazuki
- 16: yumeji
- 15: enja
- 13: wan-fu
- 13: yoshino
- 12: rera
- 11: amakusa
- 10: kusaregedo
- 09: gen an
- 08: sieger
- 07: suzuhime
- 06: rimururu
- 05: basara
- 04: chamcham
- 03: shizumaru
- 02: iroha
- 01: mina
My preference, Amakusa, landed right in the middle.

Note: That's the Top 20 out of 69 characters
in the poll, so Zankuro and especially Amakusa have a pretty decent ranking.

At 00:16:12 KK (SNK's community manager for the english-speaking community) says he was 100% responsible of getting Iroha in the game, Oda didn't want to, but KK convinced him it was what the community wanted.

Are they ok with showing Iroha getting maimed and cut to pieces?
I mean, I assume that's why she first debuted in a fun non canon festival game with no blood.
Now they gotta treat her like everyone else, or remove the blood for her.
I'm ok with her being there, but I'm still surprised.
One Strip! One Strip!Well, I'm not saying I want that to happen, but while this series ain't Mortal Kombat, guys do get wrecked in this.
Putting in the crane Waifu means she's not an exception to that, and that's never been a thing.
Again, it's why I assumed she'd never be in any other game seriously until they proved me wrong here.
One Strip! One Strip!....that's a good point.
Alright. Then this conversation is over.
And that's probably for the best.

So...are they gonna explain why Chample is even still alive considering the whole destroyed her village thing?

Here's the press release with Mina's profile translated.
So... anyone else get the feeling that Mina actually has an Evil Eye under that eyepatch of hers?
Between "plagued by an intense darkness growing within her", the lack of mention of losing an eye in her new profile, and the part in the trailer where Mina reaches for her covered eye in pain, I'm half expecting a reveal that she's keeping Chample sealed after failing to kill him and it's affecting her body as a result.
In the newest stream with KK, Kuroki revealed that the first thing he did when designing Mina was putting an eyepatch on her because he thought it would look cool. Then, the team decided to completely overhaul her gameplay based on that new addition.
That's surprising, I would've thought gameplay designs came first and designs were based on that.

The things that caught my eye were two:
Chample has a cartoony X made of band-aids in his forehead now
Iroha's Super Special Move seems to be a grab, that if you remember, is how her infamous Super move in VI started.
