Board 8 > Save My Favorite Final Fantasy Characters XX: Day 11 (RULE CHANGE) [smfffc]

(+) Yeah! (+)

I'm curious how one would even attempt to condense Sebastian to 6 letters. Feel like it'd be alphabet soup.
---

Does Sebastian even fit in FF6's character name limit?

No I would've just hoped someone else got Locke.

Also the round ended 3 minutes before your save anyway.

by "check a few minutes earlier" i meant before my first save. i was following intently at the end.
---

Sebatn?

Or like Sebasn for bad spelling or something.
---

I would also have no problems with forcing names ala Feraligatr

but in my mind

cyan was sebastian

I legit didn't know his real name until playing the game on ROMs years later
---

my first time playing i renamed Edgar to Edward because Edgar seemed really weird and i didn't like it. i think that was the only name i changed.
---

i don't even think i knew what video games were until i was like seven

Did Gau fall back into the Bottom 10?

bottom 10 cutoff is currently 25.09, though I expect that to rise by the end of this contest
---

edward would be like... an actual regal king... *cough* like Edge

when I was born my brother was turning 6, so we already had an NES and SNES

so I don't have any memory predating knowledge of Adventure Island 1 on NES

fuckin' Higgins
---

there's only like 3 characters from the current Bottom 10 that are still in this though, so at best the Bottom 10 could hit to like 29%
---

Bot is ruining the mystery of STATS!
---

I mean

even if Vaan somehow got in, I don't think he'd manage to break out of the bottom 10
---

will we reach a point where the Bottom 10 just remains the same people forever
---

Wait whatever happened to NEWSTATS.

damn, I was hoping nobody would notice

tl;dr Leon's method is too crude for me, and I haven't gotten around to actually making them
---

Down with lefty, bring back Leon.
---

Riot! Riot!!!

First Exdeath now no newstats this guy is a tyrant
---

Newstats were silly anyway. Overall stats are better.
---

Aw yiss FFD's legacy best contest ever

I wonder what kind of legacy l3fty's reign will leave...
---

leonstats looking pretty good
---

which characters benefited most from the rigging during the early contests

sad Celes doesn't make FFD or Leon, but she does make FFD+Leon (NEWSTATS)
---

Holy shit, raytan ran this thing for 13 years?! Or did he run multiples in a year?
---

definitely multiples

yeah, B8 isn't 20 years old!
---

I'm not sure whether to be more upset that Zidane appears in all three or happy that Terra only appears in Rigtan's stats.

it's a lot easier to run something twice a year when there are way fewer characters

raytan started at 40 and bumped it by 5 a year until it hit 75

then FFD introduced triple digits

I never said I wouldn't do it, just that I haven't

I totally would have had them ready if I had known I was going to be in charge!

Yeah I WANT NEW ERA STATS

i'll do it

which characters benefited most from the rigging during the early contests

Characters with highest decline between "old era stats" (minimum 5 contests) and "new era stats" (minimum of 3 contests). Margin of <0.1% wrong (too lazy to do the stats right for that content with 102 characters, I rounded them all up)

1. Sabin (-31.6%)
2. Reno (-28.1%)
3. Terra (-20.63%)
4. Beatrix (-20.22%)
5. Zell (-20.05%)
6. Auron (-18.76%)
7. Porom (-18.25%)
8. Gilgamesh (-16.75%)
9. Shadow (-15.98%)
10. Basch (-15.25%)

Shadow's position was taken by Balthier (-14.28%) before.

And characters that have got better:

1. Steiner (+29%)
2. Squall (+28.53%)
3. Barret (+27.08%)
4. Seymour (+26.05%)
5. Cloud (+25.09%)
6. Jecht (+23.18%)
7. Quina (+22.86%)
8. Vincent (+22.64%)
9. Lulu (+19.12%)
10. Sephiroth (+17.97%)

Yuna right below with +17.93%

Most consistent characters in both stats, each way:

1. Rydia (-0.11%)
2. Ramza (+0.52%)
3. Edgar (+0.82%)
4. Red XIII (-1.08%)
5. Rufus (+1.53%)
6. Faris (+1.97%)
7. Ultimecia (-2.11%)
8. Cyan (+2.23%)
9. Vivi (-2.46%)
10. Delita (+2.75%)

And it was Celes with -2.83% before Ultimecia.
---

In defense of Zell and Gilgamesh, FFD and I stopped maining them once they got their wins, so that contributes to their drops.

I suspect thats true for the other winners on the list as well.
---

man

I legitimately forgot Porom lasted that long past raytan
---

just going full era shifts from the tan-dragon-leon STATS earlier


---

I went from my primary save being Sabin to being Barret.

I like to think I had a decent impact on those changes lol.
