I imagine that's probably the biggest year-to-year placement drop in SMFFFC history

Just barely over Steiner last year.
---

I mean, Rydia went from 2nd to last, but there were less people then
---

Steiner can't even flop right
---

Thank god we won't have a repeat of last year

Until Ariana does the same thing
---

I will legitimately support Ariana when saves start increasing

Rydia's is tops in terms of STATS drop, yes

down ~96.5% compared to Doomtrain's 94%

I think it's the other way around

Nah, Marche went last to first.

Opportunities to make train-related puns on movie posters with Cid.

Ever since its summoner drilled into its locomotive that monogamy isn't realistic, summon Doomtrain has made promiscuity its credo. As much as it enjoys an uninhibited life free of commitment, Doomtrain is really derailed. While writing a profile about charming and successful sports doctor Cid Highwind, it finds itself actually wanting to be summoned by a new caster -- and what's more, Cid seems to be learning how to summon for it too. Doomtrain starts to wonder if it's time to clean up its track.

While we're waiting for the deadline to pass, I came up with a list of characters who went from top 5 one year to getting booted the next. There are five total. Three of them (Rydia, Steiner, and Doomtrain) have already been named.

Who are the other two?
---

Selphie is one
---

Correct.

Hint: They've all been fairly recent except for Rydia.
---

Steiner
---

Tis a shame but Doomy, you at least shone last contest
---

Steiner's already been mentioned.
---

Oh, darn.
---

Delita got soft booted the year after his top 5 I think? Does that count?
---

Was it Kefka? Forget if his boot was after the year he got 2nd.
---

Delita is the other one. He's the odd case in that his soft boot turned into a hard boot. Delita and Selphie actually had two straight top fives before getting booted.

Rydia: 2/55 (CIV) to 60/60 (CV)
Selphie: 3/100 (CXVI) to 94/100 (CXVII)
Doomtrain: 3/100 (CXVIII) to 97/100 (CXIX)
Delita: 5/102 (CXIV) to 79/100 (CXV)
Steiner: 1/100 (CXVII) to 93/100 (CXVIII)

Zack?

Zack has never actually been booted. He's come close a couple times though!

spicier ones to be had.

Doomtrain's expression somehow looks very fitting.

Doomtrain's expression makes him look like he's getting some unexpected butt sex.

97. CHOOCHOOSTATS

CXIV - 57/102
CXV - 66/100
CXVI - 80/100 (Booted)
CXVIII - 3/100
CXIX - 97/100 (Booted)

Doomtrain did what most summons do: Get booted. However, he also had by far the best performance by a summon last year, one that might never be topped. Of course, due to the radical extremes of his last two finishes and his small resume overall, Doomtrain goes way off the tracks, falling from 49.77% to 40.62%, plummeting from 43rd all the way to 69th, right between Barret and Garland.

The numbers are the same in the New Era STATS, except Doomtrain's placement drops from 49th to 67th.
---

Oh right, and don't forget:

No round tomorrow
---

I didn't realize Doomtrain managed to get nominated in twice.
---

nice
---

... ;_;

this wasn't what i needed right now
---

I don't know why santa doesn't have 3g when he lives in such a rural area gawd

---

Well I said I was ok with trading since Gau is a cool statmonster and uh now I technically save all the FFT characters
---

im too drunk to even be properly upset
---

in that case I should totes set up a Mog/Layle thing with mnk
---

Well I'm not actually looking to do a regular thing for Mog. >_>

With Gau safe that just seemed like the best option at the time and while I certainly don't want Mog booted, I need to keep at least one of my second hour saves available for stuffs like Edea.
---

well I mean I'm always on team ff6 so I'm always a willing ally!
---

and yes Edea needs the love too
---

Well if you guys want to pair up I'm more than willing to let you do so (Plus later on I can't guarantee I will be around to save)

You both seem like you need it more than I do!
---

I'm not gonna nose into another deal don't mind me!
