You could have posted that right after the first post.
The OP could have gone, "The randomizer determined these four matches...so, after simply eliminating the two no-names, Gortok, and the dwarven bomber, the next match will be..."

If you don't think these matches are competitive enough, you may not enjoy the next... well, almost the entire first round -_-. There's a reason these are going up four at a time.
And Rookie Cop was a very important character. He's featuring in one of the supplemental stories Giant promised to make in his suicidally extensive list of Kickstarter rewards. So there
Oh, I'm not objecting. I just enjoy being sardonic.
Plus I'm pretty sure you really did know who was going to win each of those.

Maybe next time, sort them into brackets: A PC bracket, a villain bracket, an NPC bracket for humans, and an NPC bracket for non-humans/gods/pets/etc. Whittle each bracket down to a top 4 or 8 and then merge the brackets and reshuffle.
I'm going to be the devil's advocate in my votes, just because I can. And because it won't matter anyway...
1. Roy - ok...even as devil's advocate I have limits. I just couldn't bring myself to vote otherwise, sorry Knot-Topped dude 2. Gortok the Destroyer 3. 'Kaboom' Redaxe 4. Rookie Cop
Roy Greenhilt. I can't even remember the resistance leader.
Gortok, for he has more personality and power than Banjo, who must gain his power from his followers.
Malack because I can't help but like intelligent antagonists. 'Kaboom' was alright in his own way, but not memorable enough to stand a chance.
Daigo Da-, mainly because for some reason the cops didn't interest me too much. Well, neither did Daigo Da-, but a little more so than the latter.
Also, of the four characters who are doomed to lose, I think that Gortok will make the strongest showing. He even made an impression on Belkar, so that must mean something.

Really? I would have guessed the Rookie Cop (and the trends so far seem to be bearing that out, in fact). When the entire point of your character is being an ex-redshirt, you're going to have less of an advantage over a no-name character than most would.

Gortok 13-25 Banjo
Rookie Cop 12-26 Daigo
So, they're both pretty close to each other. Gortok has the advantage of having one of the better quotes, and being against someone who a lot of people won't vote for as Banjo isn't really a character per se.
Sorry if I spoiled the current tally for anyone who wasn't sure who was winning

Voting for Roy and Malack, not voting on the other two categories. Don't really care enough about those four to bother.

Roy Greenhilt for being awesome. Gortok the Destroyer for not knowing what a pamphlet is. Malack for having style. Daigo Kato for putting in the effort.
