User blog:Mystical Trixter/ERB Characters Ranked by Popularity

An idea I've been wanting to get around to for years now is trying to rank how popular characters in ERB were. Obviously with such a massive fanbase this is very difficult to determine.

How I went about this was listed each rapper alongside their percentages of votes, then made a list of top to bottom results for each season. I did this using both our own polls, and the polls from the official website (provided the battle in question had a poll). I have a few reasons for using both. First being that after a certain point it seems the ERB website did away with the polls, or I simply cannot find them. Another is that if the polls on the site do still exist, then my results may be incorrect because I used the Official Poll results we have listed on our page, and who knows when each of those was last updated (somebody probably, but not me.) I feel like as a whole the wiki community and general website visiting community could lead to some different and mixed results, which they did. And lastly, the official poll does not include characters that were third parties, or any character past the two to appear in the title.

Note: The results here do not necessarily indicate who actually are the most popular characters overall. Several popular rappers are featured who may have either lost their battles in terms of polls (Such as Superman) or the battle in question had such close results that neither rapper is at the top or bottom (Such as King vs. Poe)

All rankings subject to change, this blog post will show the results as of the day it is posted unless otherwise stated (probably never because I'm super lazy.)

In terms of wiki polls, I also included unofficial battles such as Betty White vs. Bettie Page or the SpongeBob Movie Battle. Both cites had polls for Boba Fett vs. Deadpool so that is included in both. Also, results have been rounded up from decimals to make things more broad.

With that out of the way, we'll first be taking a list at those polls from the official site.

That's about it really. I don't really have much else to say, but this is something I've been wanting to make for quite some time. I guess comment your thoughts on the outcome or whatever.
