Key Character Sorter

This is really intresting, I would do this but I don’t remember half of the AB girls and I never played Tomoyo After and Kud Wafter so I cant really make a pick. I’m also in the middle of Kanon lol, but its really intresting, ill give it a go after I finish kanon and tomoyo after. Also you should try making one for best ingame mascots against Pani/Gil/Potato/Chibimosu/Botan ect ect.

I don’t know if it’s only me or if someone else has this problem, the sorter asked me only one question about Ui yet she was better than some characters that I chose multiple times :masdum:

anyways, redid it for the sake of Haruko <3

2 Yuri Nakamura

3 Shizuru Nakatsu

That’s not really a problem, that’s just how merge sort works. Conceptually, it works as followed (quoted from Wikipedia):

  1. Divide the unsorted list into n sublists, each containing 1 element (a list of 1 element is considered sorted).
  2. Repeatedly merge sublists to produce new sorted sublists until there is only 1 sublist remaining. This will be the sorted list.

In merging, it can now happen, that one list is worked through earlier, e.g.:
List 1: [1, 2, 3, 4]
List 2: [5, 6, 7, 8]
Compare 1 with 5, 1 gets added
Sorted List: [1]
Compare 2 with 5, 2 gets added
Sorted List:[1, 2]
Compare 3 with 5, 3 gets added
Sorted List: [1, 2, 3]
Compare 4 with 5, 4 gets added
Sorted List: [1, 2, 3, 4]
List 1 is empty, add all other elements from List 2
Sorted List: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]

In this example 6, 7 and 8 were never asked about. Something similar probably happened while you were sorting.

Yeah after trying this thing again with the added characters, I don’t think I can answer this correctly anymore… Kotori got randomly pitted against a kud wafter character and I had no choice to pick “no opinion” (because I’m not gonna give judgement to a character I haven’t experienced yet), and she was pushed down to the middle… Which is simply unfair :stuck_out_tongue:

That’s weird. Does clicking “no opinion” means that the two characters are considered equal? D: (I just really borrowed the code from a blog that freely offered it, and I only know enough HTML to do small editing here and there, so I’m not sure how it really works)

From the several times I’ve tried this, I love both option leads to harems (several characters in one position) while no opinion seems to end up with both characters being pushed down the list.

@Pepe If you have a known character vs an unknown one, just choose the known one and let all the unknown characters occupy the bottom of the list.

It seems that is what it does, yes. In that case “no opinion” may mean the same as “I like both” when in fact it just means it should skip the rating between the two.

Now that’s just kinda unfair :stuck_out_tongue: Because I have characters I actively dislike who actually deserve the bottom spot.

But now that you mention it I could just cut off the bottom spot, yeah

I had a hard time deciding the rankings of each character because there are some characters as I mentioned in a earlier post without a doubt was very difficult for me. I’m sure those that have used this sorter would understand as well.

A couple of weeks ago my list looked like this.

This time it came out like this.

At least my top 10 is pretty consistent. Only got some rearrangements and Kanade and Lucia got replaced by Misuzu and Irie. I have to say that having 2 entries for Kagari is just a pain in the ass. If they were a single entry, Iwasawa would be in that last slot.

Edit: Feb 2019
Finally worked my way through a whole round of this after the update. It’s really hard when I’ve interacted with only 3/10 series in the last two years.

Rank - Character

  1. Komari Kamikita
  2. Kotori Kanbe
  3. Tomoyo Sakagami
  4. Shizuru Nakatsu
  5. Shiori Sekine
  6. Yumemi Hoshino
  7. Shiina
  8. Sanae Furukawa
  9. Akane Senri
  10. Lucia Konohana

Top 3 is pretty accurate! Sekine on top 5 is amusing lol.
@BlackHayate02 so you’ve added Haruko and Sanae; Don’t leave aunt Akiko and Touka out~ :stuck_out_tongue:

Well, as much as I like Akiko and Touka, Haruko and Sanae were added with the idea that Haruko starred the Air route while Sanae had a “mini-route” in After Story. ^^;


I’m surprised Haru-chin rose to the top while Chihaya managed to be with the KudWaf cast (whom I don’t know about sadly :x )

wel…this is mine it is pretty accurate, it was a nice test :V

This ranking is objectively perfect.
I used an older version and frankly, I think that’s for the best.

I don’t know how the two Kagaris got so far apart.

I got your back, comrade. The Mio master race shall reign supreme one day. Shame on the traitors!

Not gonna lie, this list was very hard to make and it took me multiple tries, either because I accidentally clicked too fast, or some characters were ranked lower than I wanted them to be. Granted, the latter isn’t that big of a deal at the end of the day, but still.

The top six are pretty accurate objectively. (Totally didn’t just steal a joke.)

That was pretty fun. Tons of battles. Some choices were pretty tough to make, though I feel like the list becomes less and less accurate toward the end, where the most questions were actually asked.

The Angel Beats girls push a few other characters further down the rankings. Nice to see them on the list.

Praise Yusa!

Also great to see that many people recognise the superiority of Moon Kagari > Terra Kagari. You’re doing me proud.

Moon Kagari is of course better than Terra Kagari but… Where is best girl Creamy Kagarin?!
(Also, Michiru from Air is missing, Kaori (Amano, too?) from Kanon and Tomoko Shimako and Inoue from Rewrite)

The argument is that none of them are heroines since they don’t have their own routes
