Squall was the only 2 seed who actually got as far as he was supposed to go.
But I think the vote-ins actually helped get some decent lower seeds because they had to get voted in by the polls, so instead of getting something like Nathan Drake/Random obscure character only 50 people have heard of, we got Nathan Drake/The Boss.
