Board 8 > Save My Favorite Final Fantasy Characters XIX: Day 60 [smfffc]

(+) Yeah! (+)

i should have known better to think a good round would occur ending at 5pm
---

We still have a shot at 19 different games represented in the top 20 which i am fairly certain would be a record.

Damn you really do ninja outside of saves

It's been a while since a member of the Every Contest Club has been eliminated (not since Locke at 59)! Yuna has largely been successful in these contests, especially in recent years. She has 11 top 25 finishes in 19 contests, with three of those being top tens. She's only finished in the lower half once in the last ten contests (and only four times overall), and that was just barely in CXVII. As such, her numbers are pretty good. With this finish, Yuna actually drops a bit from 62.84% to 62.69%, but she holds steady at 22nd place between Freya and Hope.

With her recent run of success, Yuna's numbers are even better in the New Era, but this one hurts her. She drops from 78.09% to 75.08%, falling past Vivi, Edea Lee, Rydia, Celes, and Yuffie to land at 15th place. Vivi now rounds out the top ten.

Oh right, in the Old Era, Yuna was at 56.97%, good for 30th place between Sabin and final champion of the Old Era Marche.

ya go my vivi
---

Hey wait. So who do we have to eliminate next to get Edea in the Top 10 too?

...not including vivi
---

layle being eliminated yesterday is the -less- confusing part of that sentence since prompto doesn't change the number of games represented

Viv--

Oh, then no one. Even if the lowest remaining member of the top ten other than Vivi were to be eliminated tomorrow, they'd stay ahead of Edea.
---

Boooo!
---

There are a few characters left who could pass Edea with a good enough finish, too.
---

Whats the ECC now

Whats the ECC now

The ones still in:

Cecil
Kain
Celes
Terra
Cloud
Tifa
Yuffie
Squall
Vivi
Zidane
Rikku
Tidus

So 30% of the remaining contestants are ECC members. We've only lost four so far (well five if you count Auron, who's technically still a member I guess until next year): Sephiroth, Locke, Edgar, and Yuna just now.
---

oh right and in case anybody missed it

Rule change next round
---

Poor Roba, losing Eiko and Yuna almost back to back
---

I'm a fan of Relm too! Who will my curse murder next I wonder

however many it takes to get down to Squall and Rinoa as your top two

VeryInsane posted...

You mean Layle right

Oh I thought Layle was the potion kid from 12.
---

that's Larsa

who did you think Prompto was
---

Vaan's equally useless friend who befriends Layle obviously

This doesn't seem that unlikely, honestly. Terra and Agnes have been lingering towards the end of the round lately and I'm still (justifiably!) worried about Lightning as saves needed increases

Speaking of which, I can give Rinoa two saves per round (assuming I get in early enough obviously) but third hour trades are usually dicey. I reserve the right to throw Lightning my third save, situation depending

Has there ever been a final between two characters from the same game?

Lulu/Auron in CII.
---

Huh Well I guess the precedent has been set then.
---

Well, all it takes is for both of them to have two entirely different contingents leading them.

Not sure any two characters from the same game have that this year.

this is how we know we can't let it happen

yeah same as his #1 priority rinoa, it's people who absolutely cannot be allowed in the finals
---

random (not so?) fun facts since I'm looking at finals numbers right now

the second and third most represented games FFVI and FFVII have sent a combined 11 entrants to the finals, with not a single duplicate, and are (4-7)

the number one represented game, FFIX alone has had characters in 10 finals and is (5-5), but with only sending 4 unique entrants.

there are two undefeated games in the finals (both 1-0)

there is only one winless game in the finals (0-2)

however, ffx has always won a finals it has made

guess it's Barret/Gau this year

FFX lost a finals it made once, FFD.

to another FFX character

that's the point he's making
---

FFV undefeated in finals always and forever
---

yeah

like I said, there are two undefeated games

but ffx has additionally also won every finals it made
---

14 of the 40 characters remaining have made a finals before. Two others have finished 3rd, and two more have finished 4th. 25 of them have made a top 10 before.

Pretty veteran crew we have remaining.

...5 and TA, right?

What a pair.
---

Gilgamarche
---

---

Tactics is also undefeated in the finals!
---

Also, I guess if anyone's interested in the "versus" breakdown:

CI - IV vs. IX
CII - X vs. X
CIII - VI vs. IX
CIV - IV vs. IX
CV - VII vs. IX
CVI - VI vs. VII
CVII - VI vs. IX
CVIII - IX vs. XII
CIX - VI vs. X
CX - VII vs. VIII
CXI - V vs. IX
CXII - IX vs. XII
CXIII - XIII vs. TA
CXIV - VII vs. VIII
CXV - IV vs. VII
CXVI - VI vs. X
CXVII - IX vs. XIII
CXVIII - VI vs. IX

So FFVI vs. FFIX is the most common final (three times, including last year).

For all the times IX has been in the finals, it's never faced VIII or X.
