(+) Yeah! (+)

Ashe got creamed though and I've forgotten why. I know a lot of people were bitter at the Ashe Train for some reason, but >70% angry?

It was Ashe train + this is Zidane's third finals give him the win already.

Kuja got the same treatment!

sadly I didn't play XII until after that contest so I didn't give any support

I guess that makes sense. Kuja was always a better chaser than a champion. Zidane doesn't seem to have missed a beat though.

Edgar > Tifa would've been the 2nd biggest blowout if it didn't have such poor votals.

I think Balthier/Zidane would be my favorite, followed by Zack/Squall.

After that... eh. As much as I like Lulu there's no way she should have made it to a final over some much better X reps. Marche/Lightning had some rad propaganda but I don't know a whole lot about either character beyond Lightning's Dissidia appearance!

Lightning in Dissidia is soooooooo bad, such an awful person

but Dissidia is awful so whatever

1. What did you think about CXIV and the new regime? (#banffd and #longliveffd are both acceptable answers)
It was okay. There was certainly no sibling cheating, which was nice.

2. How did this year's Top Ten compare to others for you?
There were a lot of the ones I liked best going out early and a lot that I didn't care for sticking around for a long long time. I was not a fan of the top ten this year.

3. Which character are you hoping to make a run next contest?
Cid Highwind is really due for a deep run. I want Galuf or Faris to go far too. (OH WAIT god dammit)

4. What was the biggest upset in this contest?
The one lawyering that kept a character in for dozens more rounds. I think it was Hope who got to stick around forever because of it?

5. Does Zack deserve to be champion? Why?
I haven't played any FF7 spin-offs, so all I know him as is this kind of side character who I never cared for.

6. Does Squall deserve to be runner-up? Why?
I'm not that big a Squall fan. Yeah, he has development, but some of the way his character goes along that development I'd rather just not have.

7. What number would you like to see the field at next year? (75/80/85/90/95/100)
Any of those I guess. Maybe a little more?

8. With the floodgates open next year, which newcomers and returners would you like to see?
Galuf and Faris. Eliminations this year sucked.

9. Questions? Comments? Suggestions?
Having rounds always start at the same times was really not cool, as I constantly missed rounds. I ended up missing over half of them. The one thing Raytan did better was switch up when they started and just have them whenever, so people of all different schedules could participate. Especially in the one save rounds, The character I would've saved first went out a couple times (as my new first went out, then my new new first).

--
ONLY FIVE CAN LADDER.
Sushi, kamikaze, fujiyama, nippon-ichi...

Kuja benefited greatly from being runner-up twice because he avoided the anti-champion stigma for so long

Cecil would be first in the all-time stats if Kuja had been good enough to do it first try tbqh

I can understand the loss to Celes. SEETHING FFVI love and all that, but losing to Reno was inexcusable.

Kuja is a pretty boy in a thong. That should have been able to counteract any man on man tonsil hockey.

Reno and Rude are the only good Turks, and Rude only works when he's with Reno.

Can we just start the next one already?

Let's see, I'll rank some finals.
Edgar/Tifa > Auron/Sabin > Zack/Squall > Cecil/Zidane > Balthier/Zidane > Lulu/Auron > Reno/Kuja > Zidane/Ashe > Celes/Kuja > Marche/Lightning > Kuja/Terra > Vivi/Rydia > Gilgamesh/Vivi >>> Zell/Yuffie

All the proteins, vitamins, and carbs of your grandma's best turkey dinner, plus 15% alcohol.

Zell/Yuffie would've been the worst if Yuffie had won.

But thankfully, she didn't.

"I couldn't stand a day without a past or future. I need to live each moment to keep fighting here and now."

That might be the only final where I actually cast all 10 of my votes.

I had to vote against Yuffie.

1. What did you think about CXIV and the new regime? (#banffd and #longliveffd are both acceptable answers)

#longliveffd. Good to have the contest back with all its requisite drama

2. How did this year's Top Ten compare to others for you?

Quality, though I was sad we couldn't push Rydia to victory.

3. Which character are you hoping to make a run next contest?

Locke, since I owe Poke for his effort. Setzer too since he'll be eligible for STATS next contest.

4. What was the biggest upset in this contest?

Cecil being lawyered.

5. Does Zack deserve to be champion? Why?
Yup. Surprised it took him this long.

6. Does Squall deserve to be runner-up? Why?
Sure.

7. What number would you like to see the field at next year? (75/80/85/90/95/100)
I think 90. 102 was a bit long.

8. With the floodgates open next year, which newcomers and returners would you like to see?
Palom. Maybe another FFTA character too.

9. Questions? Comments? Suggestions?

Loved the consistent start times. Also I do think that simply prompting someone that the round is up (without suggesting who they should vote for) should be allowed. <_<

if you want 2 contests a year you need to concede to a lower number of characters tbqh

This contest would've went by pretty fast if we actually had 2 rounds everyday and avoided lots of lolcomcast. It would've only taken less than 2 months.
