man why did the Jets call timeout there

that was about to be a delay of game

Book 7 doesn't deserve to be grouped together with 8-10

Again, it's a surprise Terra was so high but only rarely made last VI standing.

FFVI was pretty strong back in the day! They were basically what FFVII is now. In the year Edgar won, for instance, we had 4 FFVI characters make the top ten, and there were a couple other years where they got 3.

Speaking of top tens, for the STATS fun fact of the day, let's look at the top ten in the OldSTATS

#1. Kuja
#2. Terra Branford
#3. Cecil Harvey
#4. Celes Chere
#5. Vivi Ornitier
#6. Rydia of Mist
#7. Zidane Tribal
#8. Auron
#9. Laguna Loire
#10. Dagger

Chris Jones signed a 1-year deal with the Chiefs. It's apparently loaded with incentives, so we'll see how this works out.

Celes's OldSTATS number is 79.82%, so she's been pretty consistent across the entire contest.

Also, Celes entered the top ten in the NewSTATS, and the character she knocked out was...Red Mage.

That's fair I suppose but there are also a lot of really good shows and movies you're locked out of if that's the case!

I also hate Lelouch and Code Geass!

(I actually like Fate/Zero overall, but that's mostly for Waver/Rider stuff)

oh man I just saw we had a Scorigami today

Ravens/Texans was the first 25-9 game in NFL history

Never really watched it, what little I've seen here and there didn't appeal to me

It's looking like Dobbins tore his Achilles and will be out for the season.

man that guy has no luck

Nah, the Patriots get grandfathered in just like the Cowboys do

Why would you miss an Eagles beatdown for anything as a fan?

yeah if I knew my team was going to blow out the Patriots, I'd be glued to the TV

okay I've got all the data in my STATS spreadsheet so I can start doing STATS fun facts

since we don't have a round today and Sephiroth was eliminated yesterday, let's do top ten characters in the STATS who don't have a finals appearance

#1. Jessie Rasberry
(#1.5 Edea Lee R.I.P.)
#2. Red Mage
#3. Rikku
#4. Dagger
#5. Ardyn Izunia
#6. Layle
#7. Seymour Guado
#8. Freya Crescent
(#8.5 Agnes Oblige R.I.P.)
#9. Sephiroth
#10. Minwu

Emet-Selch will knock Minwu out of there once he's out (unless he makes the finals, of course)

And now he's suspended

oh no my Titans

played too much coward ball today

it's traditionally been pretty safe to pick against a rookie in their first game (Trask isn't a rookie but whatever)

you'd be fine today so far!

I've still barely touched a Castlevania game but I like this show, so I'm glad they're doing another one

and to think if this had been Kyle Trask you wouldn't have picked the Vikings for some bizarre reason

The bucs are going to win the South aren't we lol

I mean why not

(I think it'll be the Saints but nobody in that division is good)

LOL Vikings

someone let me know when they upload the important story stuff onto a YouTube video

so is Watson good again

turns out it takes some time to get back into shape when you haven't played real football for two years

the whole "we won't have a round if it interferes with the Eagles game" was a Discord thing so my protestation still stands

row row fight the powa

Weird that there was no official announcement but ok

down with Discord

Sakura is the best waifu and I haven't even watched the Heaven's Feel movies yet

feels like i hear this every year

I don't think Seph is winning any time soon, but if Cloud can, he theoretically could, too.

maybe if someone starts offering 5 NRs for every Seph save from round 1 he'd have a chance

Football posted...

also Georgia isn't even going to play a great team in the SEC title game at this point, we're pretty close to a 1 loss SEC team being left behind in the playoff

Kinda wild how quickly the SEC West has declined over the past few years.

I mean, there's still time for Alabama to figure things out at QB and be fine by the end of the season, but yeah.

is Nick Saban past his prime

They're basically (presumed to be) two movie length episodes.

oh man the dub for Attack on Titan Season 4 Part 3 Part 1 comes out tomorrow

Maniac64 posted...

Brian should not get credit for Defensive touchdowns...

but technically he does because Iowa has to average 25 points and it doesn't matter how they get there...!

and I was busy putting away groceries when the round started augh

as they should have been

Worry (I'll omit "Be Happy")

My wife's answer: Do that

I remember one of the rules was that you couldn't nominate nameless NPCs in general (I think this was mostly to prevent people from nominating stuff like the kid who wanted to be a blitzball when he grew up in FFX). I didn't recall that they had to have dialogue, too.

Christian Watson out for the Packers against the Bears, Rams not ruling out Kupp going to the IR

Sephiroth

I haven't seen Heaven's Feel yet either. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like it's available for streaming for free anywhere. You can rent the first movie at least (haven't checked the others) on a few services, looks like.

Abu Dhabi, of course

Nah, I never skipped EDs. For whatever the reason, I'm just blanking on it.

Brave Shine is excellent. I really liked UBW, but I didn't play the VN. I liked the original F/SN anime, too, even though I know that one isn't as highly regarded.

Not a fan of Fate/Zero, which is one of my anime hot takes, apparently.

I missed the start of the round because I was folding laundry

but the first page filled up in 3 minutes

the announcement you've all been waiting for

Xuxon posted...

for Laguna

My kind of deal!

Not going to have time to set this up later

Trading for Squall, I have an early Hour 3 save

Rude isn't even the FFVII character with multiple appearances who has the worst potential STATS!

(that would be Hojo)

Rude is the character with the worst potential STATS with 3 appearances though

why would you do that

th3l3fty posted...

yeah and maybe one day the Haruhi light novels will be completed

hey we got a new light novel 3 years ago (that didn't advance the main plot a single iota), there's still a chance

I was trying to think of a STATS fun fact of the day but it's difficult to do when I don't have all the data entered into my spreadsheet yet

uhhhh let's go with top 5 percentages of characters who've yet to appear in the New Era

I don't think there are five characters who have enough appearances to qualify for STATS who haven't shown up in the New Era so this will have to do (Rosa was #1 before her appearance this year)

#1. Alma Beoulve (2 appearances)
#2. Fighter (2 appearances)
#3. Gordon (2 appearances)
#4. Nahaa Mihgo (2 appearances)
#5. Lion (2 appearances)

what a list, the only two characters with enough appearances to qualify for STATS are Yang and Amarant

also if you want to bring back a candidate to have a new last place there's Krile, no character with multiple appearances has (potential) STATS as bad as hers

well there was over a decade between season 3 and season 4, and as far as I can tell, there's been no news of a season 5 as of yet

hopefully we won't have to wait quite as long this time

and who knows, maybe one day we'll get Haruhi season 3
