Personally, I think it has all the makings of being the best we have seen since '02 (assuming that is the gold standard).

Yes, it doesn't have the unpredictability of the first couple, but it has been set up in a near-perfect way to create some great matchups.

Here are some unique features I believe will place this contest in the top-tier:
- The large gap between this and the last contest means there are a lot of unknowns in terms of how character strength has changed
- Taking the Noble 9 out (and giving Sephy an easy bracket) to stop mid-tiers being fed to them
- Creating a loser bracket to setup even more matches between the Noble 9, rather than have them be fed sequentially to Link/Cloud
- The potential for a number of rallies, seemingly without any Draven-esque potential contest-breaking ones

I know there have been criticisms of how the loser bracket has been organised, but it has been done that way to avoid the last two Loser battles before the finals being a repeat of the Semis.

Don't want to jinx it, but I'm damn excited!
