yeah hope everything'll go ok for you Keeby! Hopefully it's something less serious like say, jury duty, lol :(

So after today's round I put together some not-so-fun bonus stats: since this was a back-to-back elimination I thought I'd check previous series back-to-back eliminations in the lefty era. "Series" instead of "games" to include characters like Paine or Cissnei with characters from their original mainline game (same way they get grouped together in the contest).

So this would be the 2nd time it's occurred this contest after Auron & Paine (66th and 67th, respectively). From the rest of the lefty era, # of times per contest:

XX: 2
XXI: 7
XXIII: 2
XXIV: 5

and in contest XXII, there were 4 back-to-backs and - unique to-date in the lefty era - a three-fer.

66. Paine
67. Jecht
68. Rikku

between that year and this year, mid 60s aren't a good place for FFX characters eh...

Lastly, this is the first instance of back-to-back eliminations involving FFIX characters during the lefty era, the past instances covered FFV through VIII, X, XII and XIV. So IV, XIII and XV have dodged it so far, XIII came close thrice with 87 Snow, 89 Chocolina in contest XXI, 69 Sazh 71 Fang in XXII and 90 Snow, 92 Nora this year. Bit surprised on XV considering the boot bloodbaths it's been through but I guess the XV characters were sufficiently spaced out, on further review never got closer than a 3-spot difference (twice in XX with 93 Prompto 96 Iris and later, 44 Cindy 47 Noctis) (Edit: on further-further review XV had the back to back boots in contest XIX so I guess that's what I was thinking of)
