Sheperd with the bracket votes.

Is Shepard favored?

I mean among casuals he probably is, but here?


Pretty sure he is.

Also, every single game from 2012 that has had a character represent it this year has shown little-to-no improvement. ME3 is the only possible exception...but after how divisive it was in a year it should have coasted to another GotY-award, there's a fair chance Shepard hasn't boosted much since ME2.

Shepard'll probably overcome here, but it's not a great start and the 2012-trend doesn't back him up.

This result looks good for Pikachu to me. You can make a bigger case of this result making Auron look more fraudulent than Pikachu as Pikachu would be giving Auron a major scare or outright beating him.
