I get why they are doing the fan vote, its to see what people are interested in. and if they pick then people are gonna moan that a character is getting favd over another so in a sense this is a better way. BUUUUT its gonna go ass up cuz its public vote
its only gonna cause drama, and people are gonna start getting butt hurt cuz there design isn't getting voted on enough. Then you will have people starting drama cuz they will excuse people of vote hoarding, which will happen since its FB.
But at the end of the day it depends on what people really want. I've checked the twitter entries and each one is different. the most liked or favd entry I seen was for kasumi, another one was for Elliot. So it is what it is at the end of the day, I guarantee someone will ask people to vote for there stuff, you aint gonna stop that unless Team ninja decide to pick themselves or do mutiple picks for designs.
Personally I think they should do it the way they did the Male your move contest, dunno if that was vote based but apparently Mr.Wah
won it
