Hereā€™s my top 15

I created a character sorter myself a while ago; but never thought about using it for Key characters before. So I added most key characters to my own sorter and tried both sorters. Unfortunately I forgot to save the results of the sorter given in this thread; so I can only give the results of my own sorter.

Results are as expected. Loli top 3, rest of the top 10 is mostly dominated by Angel Beats. The other sorter the top 3 was the same, top 10 was also mostly the same just a different order; so I guess both are quite accurate.

Woo~ New girls~ /o/

So hereā€™s my updated list:

1 - Shizuru Nakatsu
2 - Mio Nishizono
3 - Kotori Kanbe
4 - Fuuko Ibuki
5 - Yukine Miyazawa
6 - Tipi
7 - Yui
8 - Ayu Tsukimiya, Misuzu Kamio
10 - Sayuri Kurata
11 - Mei Sunohara
12 - Haruko Kamio
13 - Kotomi Ichinose
14 - Sanae Furukawa
15 - Shiori Misaka
16 - Minagi Tohno
17 - Lucia Konohana, Moon Route Kagari
19 - Tomo Mishima
20 - Tomoyo Sakagami
21 - Haruka Saigusa
22 - Kanade Tachibana
23 - Mai Kawasumi
24 - Komari Kamikita
25 - Kanako
26 - Misae Sagara
27 - Ayumi Otosaka, Shiona
29 - Nayuki Minase, Makoto Sawatari
31 - Kudryavka Noumi
32 - Rin Natsume
33 - Ryou Fujibayashi, Ushio
35 - Kanata Futaki, Sasami Sasasegawa
37 - Nagisa Furukawa, Kyou Fujibayashi
39 - Shiina
40 - Yumemi Hoshino
41 - Chihaya Ohtori
42 - Terra Route Kagari
43 - Kannabi no Mikoto, Uraha
45 - Everyone else
60 - Kano Kirishima

Although Shizuruā€™s still #1 (:smiley:), everything else is surprisingly different from the last list I made. Miocchi shot up from 13th to 2nd, Kotori from 5th to 3rd, and Fuko from 8th to 4th. Yukine and Tipi are pretty much filling in the gaps left by Ayu and Misuzu falling behind, and some other characters are shuffling around due to the results. 45th place on this list includes everyone who didnā€™t find some place on this list, including last listā€™s last place, Misa. Now Kano takes her spot as the worst character in my list. :stuck_out_tongue:

Itā€™s amazing how much taste can change over timeā€¦Makes me excited for the next few Key games coming out~ :slight_smile:

Oooh I love favorite character sorters but I also hate them because itā€™s painful to choose between two characters that you really love. Especially with Key, where there are so many great characters.
Since I havenā€™t played any of the visual novels and havenā€™t seen Rewrite or Little Busters Ex, Iā€™m not including characters that I donā€™t recognize or know very well.

  1. Ushio
  2. Shiina
  3. Nagisa
  4. Sanae
  5. Tomoyo
  6. Mai
  7. Yuri
  8. Kanade
  9. Yui
  10. Iwasawa
  11. Kotomi
  12. Ayu
  13. Shiori Misaka
  14. Sayuri
  15. Ryou
  16. Kyou
  17. Rin
  18. Komari
  19. Misuzu
  20. Hisako
  21. Miyuki
  22. Shiori Sekine
  23. Yusa
  24. Kannabi no Mikoto
  25. Makoto
  26. Yumemi
  27. Haruko
  28. Mio
  29. Yukine
  30. Fuuko
  31. Nayuki
  32. Yuiko
  33. Haruka
  34. Nao
  35. Minagi
  36. Kud
  37. Mei
  38. Misae
  39. Kano
  40. Kanata
  41. Misa
  42. Ayumi
  43. Yusa

The numbers donā€™t mean much, since the margins are so slim.
If I ranked them by tier itā€™d be something like this:
S-rank: 1-9 (An infinite and eternal love for these characters)
A-rank: 10-19 (Really love but not quite as much as S-rank)
B-rank: 20-28 (Like a lot)
C-rank: 29-40 (Like, but I donā€™t remember them that well)
D-rank: 41-43 (Neutral)
There are no characters I dislike. LitBus and Air characters are further down on the list because Iā€™ve only seen them each once and it was a while ago. Iā€™ve seen Angel Beats at least 6 times, Kanon 2 or 3 times, and although Iā€™ve seen Clannad just once, itā€™s inexplicably special to me. So I think it mostly comes down to exposure to the characters more than how good of a character I think they are. Because I really do like pretty much all of them.
Except the Charlotte characters really just didnā€™t stand out to me. Iā€™m not sure why, but they just didnā€™t stick.

Iā€™ll probably remake this list after Iā€™ve played Rewrite and Harmonia.

Got it


Quite funny, never saw Shizuru but still #3. Also because of this sorter Irealized that I like Yui more than Kanade while I thought Kanade was best girl of AB.
Also THAT picture of Saya is so intimidating. If it was a different picture I think she would be lower on the ranking. Not sure if it is accurate because I havent played all of their routes yet so sometimes I had mixed feelings but in general it is probably right.
'key bye now Saya intimidating
