HARPER LEE APPRECIATION THREAD

[Jake Smith]

@Drake King / @Harper Lee look at you go. You really have done a lot with Harper and it shows, managing to multitask between her and Drake at the level that you are going at is insant. Harper is really such a good character, someone that you can really hate and want to kick the shit out of at some points and that's a great thing. It shows an amazing evolution from point A to point B to get this point and I couldn't be more excited to see what comes next (and how much her ego boosts because of this). Congratulations!

@Miku Sakai What you've done with the Miku character is insane considering how short of a time span you've been here, you really have done a lot to have her stand out and mold her into her own. The Specialists Championship reign that you had was great and one that definitely put her on the map and opened more doors. There is still so much for Miku to do and I'm excited to see it!

@Harper Lee (/@Drake King) I said all I could say for Drake King in the post for Myles, but now I need to take the time to appreciate Harper. Because like..damn, that was such a really good moment. Just like always, you popped off night in and night out, and you earned this moment. Harper is an amazing Character, and I really hope to watch her time as a Champion, and see her as a Champion for a long way to go!

@Miku Sakai Dude..that title reign..it was well earned! When I faced you that one Show on Voltage, I didn't expect what I was going to get myself into, but you ended up bringing the smoke to me. And then I found out you also handled Jack Ripley, and that amazed me in itself, to know that I was going up against someone at your type of level. You earned that Specialist Title Reign, and your character always manages to amaze me each and every single time -- it's crazy. Miku definitely has a bright future, and all I can say is..continue to be amazing!

@Harper Lee Congrats on winning a title. @Drake King Sorry u lost your title. Well I guess it all works out in the end. Nah for real tho much deserved u stay hustlin' on that multi-character grind u gettin' titles on titles on titles

@Miku Sakai Errybody loves Miku I am sure that we ain't seen the last of her. There's going to be a lot more where that came from she ain't stay out the spotlight for too long. The simps demand more titles.

 

[Harper Lee]

Thank you everyone. Admittedly this is something I’ve wanted for Harper for a while, because I’ve always loved the character and this season has helped me enjoy promoing as her probably more than ever. There’s definitely been up’s and down’s, but over the past year I think I’ve found my footing with the character, and I’m happy to have seen it pay off the way it did. I’ve had some of my favorite promo battles this year, and I’m glad that this week could be another one of them. @Miku Sakai you’re an incredible promoer, like you’re extremely good at what you do. When the match was made I thought about how Harper vs Miku on paper sounds like such an annoying match up bc of the type of characters they are, and I think we did a pretty good job at living up to that. Loved promoing against you and reading your promos this week. Fantastic Championship reign, I’m excited to see what’s next for you.

 

[Jon Kelton]

@Harper Lee Congratulations, you've put in a lot of work this season furthering Harper's story and this was extremely deserved. I cant wait to see what the future holds for Harper now that she's champion.

@Harper Lee

idk if I can say anything new that hasn't already been said about you this week, let alone for the last 3 years but you're simply brilliant in just about every aspect of an efedder. You're the perfect role model for everyone to follow and this place is eternally grateful to have someone like you here. Your growth with Harper over the last year has been a pleasure to watch and I'm stoked that you not only made it to the final of the Iconic Cup but won it. You well and truly embodied everything this tournament should be about and there's simply no better person to have won it. Congratulations dude!

And a big thank you to everyone across both blocks of the Iconic Cup. This tournament has always meant a lot to this place and to see plenty give it their all was tremendous to see; I'm incredibly proud to have been part of it and hope plenty of you have incredible Season 16's off the back of it.

 

[Cameron Ella Ava]

Ewww, Woatper won?

Nah, I'm kidding. Congratulations, @Harper Lee. I've seen the work that you've put into this character since the first day and after your couple of attempts at trying to win the Women's title, I knew that this could be something that happened. Now, you have the power in your hands to cash in and I can't wait to see all of that stuff unfold! Overall, one of the nicest people, very passionate about this place and really brought the best out of this tournament! Enjoy this moment! Well-deserved!

@Hikari Kanno you ight.

I love the Hikari character and I'm sad that you didn't win, but I know that this character is destined for great things. Use this loss to make you stronger and make sure that Season 16 is your bitch, but you'll always be mine!

 

[Holly Arrow]

@Harper Lee It's time, take me under your wing, keep me relevant

Congratulations on this win for Harper, you already know how I feel about the tallest character in EAW. Undoubtedly one of, if not the best alt character in EAW right now, and after this win, it could be inarguable too. Harper is a fantastic character, played by a fantastic handler who is always consistent across both characters. Also one of my favorite people in chat. It's never not fun to talk about shit like Marvel, Sonic, Danganronpa etc with you, and I couldn't be happier to see you get this W.

@Hikari Kanno To put it bluntly, you are my biggest inspiration in EAW bar none. Cam calling Limmy Jamie-lite is an exaggeration, but there's some truth to it the Jamie O'Hara character inspired quite a few things for me. An absolute all-time character, and the fact that you were able to make another with arguably the exact same quality, and perhaps even ruder and tougher, is fantastic. Hikari is an amazing character who will for sure get her due. From the match against DEDEDE to the finals of a tournament, you're doing shit that's to be expected from your aforementioned Hall of Fame character. The GOAT fr fr.

 

[Harper Lee]

Thank you so much everyone, and I once again wanna thank @Hikari Kanno for this week. It’ll probably get annoying how much times I’ve said this but I really did love promoing this week. This is literally only the second one on one match we’ve ever had across any character, and it was both a really big challenge and so much fun promoing against you this week. There’s never been any doubt that you’re one of the best writers ever, and your work with Hikari has really only continued to prove why you’re one of the best. I have absolutely no doubt that next season will be a great one for you, and again I’m glad we got to have a match on the level of this one.

 

[TLA]

Congrats @Harper Lee u be getting that cup in str8 iconic shit up in here.

@Hikari Kanno be grinding you know that the simps won't let her be down for long their thirst for a comeback going to be stronger than ever

 

[Jake Smith]

@Harper Lee You know you've really done something with the character when I have problems congratulating it.

Kidding, congratulations. You've worked extremely hard as Harper to get to this point and to see that all pay off post-Specialists is so satisfying in a way. Now she has a chance to be a World Champion and in a way that's really great. She's a really fucking annoying character that you love to hate, and honestly, I am going to despise the first promo she puts out after PFP. BUT congratulations nonetheless .

@Hikari Kanno You're you, do I really have to say anything? An amazing promoer top to bottom and someone who is really just fucking class. The character of Hikari Kanno has come so far since the IDOL-GUN days and getting to the finals of the Iconic Cup is more than enough proof of that. She has the tools to be something big and the start of Season 16 is the perfect opportunity for that. Great job, and keep it going.

 

[Donovan Duke]

@Harper Lee Congratulations!! You have worked hard to turn Harper into exactly what she is today. Harper has certainly improved over the year and I am excited to see where she goes for Season 16.

@Hikari Kanno You are so awesome! You are amazing at what you do and have been doing so well with Hikari as a singles star. Can't wait to see what she will do next.

 

[Andre Walker]

Congratulations ig you kinda stink but ur alright

 

[Minerva]

Incredible win by you, Congratulations @Harper Lee, always taking it to the next level Justin and I was glad and honored to have her on my Showdown roster. You are always one of the hardest working handlers here and I know that cash in is going to be very Harper like. Great job my friend and here's to Harper!

@Hikari Kanno Doesn't matter what character you run, it's going to be a Champion and now that Hikari is on her own will be awesome to see how she stands out, this is just a bump in the road, but I think we both know it's not if but when she wears gold.

Awesome week both of you and congrats!

 

[Jake Smith]

@Harper Lee / @Drake King You're the one that usually post these so I can see why nobody was doing so Harper is annoying as fuck but at the same time that's what makes a character like her so special. You know how to make people pissed off and the reaction in live chat of you cashing in was amazing. I was surprised more than anything else that Harper cashed in so earlier and I think that's what made his moment so great and caught people off guard. If there's anyone that deserves this, it's you, congratulations.

@Andrea Valentine Kween. You had a great reign and Pain For Pride was a moment people will never forget. SZN 15 was great and I 100% believe SZN 16 will be better, congratulations on everything and ily

 

[Ryan Joseph Wilson]

I never saw a title change hands during a Draft show I gotta say I love it!
@Harper Lee this run with the woman's championship is well overdue thanks to your hard work so I wish you a goat run!

@Andrea Valentine you had a spectacular run with the championship and there will be more down the line! Be proud, we all are.

 

[Limmy Monaghan]

@Harper Lee You already know how I feel about the Harper Lee character, and that is of course her being the biggest, tallest, and strongest babyface powerhouse to grace Showdown. Harper is one of my favorite characters just for how natural you are at playing her. She is so rude and I love rude characters, not to mention the countless references I now understand. Winning Iconic Cup and cashing it in so soon was not what I expected to wake up to, but that moment was great. OOC you are by far one of my fav people to talk to, as I believe I said in a thread a week ago. We have very similar interests in both anime, games, comics etc, and if it wasn't for EAW I don't think I'd be a fan of half of the stuff you got me into. Congrats on this win big dawg.

@Andrea Valentine Andrea's title win, and reign by proxy, was fantastic from the getgo. Beating Ms. Extreme when no one else could practically guaranteed that you would have a fantastic reign. Not only that but entering the Hall of Fame as Champion. It was absolutely deserved, and I enjoyed it throughout. We've only faced off once, with my alt, but you were absolutely one of my favorite people to promo against, and it genuinely shocked me while reading your HOF speech seeing how humble you were about it. Amazing how you came in here not expecting much, only to have one of the greatest careers in recent memory, and it'll only continue to get better. GOAT.

 

[Astraea Jordan]

Congratulations!

 

[Harper Lee]

@Andrea Valentine amazing Championship reign. It was so well deserved just like your induction to the Hall of Fame this year, and I loved seeing you have another great World title reign throughout the year. Amazing promoer and amazing writer, it really can’t be said enough just how great you are at all of this.

Thank you so much everyone. I am still shocked by all of this, but I really couldn’t be any more grateful.
