Yo. Alright, I wasn't one of those that cast a decision those three articles, but I think I can still give you some feedback.

I'll start with Sawaii. I wouldn't approve her into the Hall of Fame mainly because she seems to stick by the Naruto series timeline a lot. She's an envisioned character in the series of adventures we've all grown up to: and that's in no way a bad thing, but she seems too tethered to a pre existing story that she doesn't seem to have her own independence—her own story arcs and plot for example. For the Hall of Fame, that fresh sense of independence is a pretty important factor, though sticking to existing Naruto plot lines is generally acceptable outside of it. Sawaii ticks the other boxes though, in my opinion. She's well written, formatted well, neat and your art on the page is another major plus. It's only the way she latches on and follows Naruto's story like an extra that probably prevented her from cracking through.

Next up, Ace. Ace is a legitimate 50/50 in my book. If I had voted, I may have voted yes, but it's a little tricky. Another additional factor is his Uchiha lineage. It's generally tougher for an Uchiha to get into the HoF compared to other characters, because they're overdone on this wiki. So an Uchiha getting in has to really, really be different in some way. There's a major red light for me when it comes to Ace's background. While it shows him defecting and changing his name, it stops there—it doesn't go further, like his rise to power or anything else. Good detail was given to him everywhere else, so it's a pity his background doesn't go further. Overall for an Uchiha, I'd say he has good balance, he's not really overpowered. Also, you should work on adding a trivia and quotes section to his page, to make it look more complete presentation wise. I'll give another bit of feedback. As someone who's 'running away' from his Uchiha lineage, you could try and include story arcs for him which distance himself as far as possible from the clan, in thought and deed. Bottom line: when you have an Uchiha, you've gotta try to make it as unique as possible—from a character standpoint, not a power one: and if you achieve that he should be able to make it into the HoF.

As for Soushiki...well he seems to be loaded with everything. He's pretty much a Kaguya type character, with many major KG and every elemental transformation. Imo, it's hardest for these types of characters to get into the Hall of Fame, because it functions as a benchmark of sorts for NF. I think all the judges can agree with me that articles like Sou (coupled with our past experiences with similar characters) are very unlikely to crack the HoF. My first reaction is that I've seen a character like this before: almost every Otsutsuki created has the same hallmarks: a direct relationship with Kaguya, monstrous abilities, numerous KG, you get my drift. He's as far as possible from the inventiveness we're trying to promote in the HoF, and from a personal standpoint; I can't imagine a scenario where he were to get in (as he is right now).

So to sum it up, I'd say Ace has a good chance of getting in. I'd just advise you to work out his background further. Sawaii is a well written and smooth flowing article, a good character — but she's tied too tightly to the Naruto/Shippuden timeline to demonstrate actual independence from the main plot. Soushiki seems to be more of a battle orientated character and less like a benchmark of your own abilities, which means I wouldn't think he could be used as an educational article, or as a representation to what we hold to as the pinnacle on NF.

Welp, that's it from me. I'd advise you to go to Erin, Ben, Ash and Achlus if you want feedback from the people who made the decisions. That'll be able to help you decide what else to improve on if you feel the need to do so. Good job with your articles though, they're enjoyable to read.
