Huh, what happened to her in XIX? That was Rinoa's year so I was busy but I'm usually not the one Garnet relies on that early

It was Friday (or Thursday) night and I fell asleep and didn't hear the alarm clock and woke up to doom and gloom

on the one hand it's disappointing garnet didn't make finals but it's still a decent final

on the other as someone who usually saves garnet a decent amount I find it funny her best run was when I contributed the least

This is actually pretty sweet for you, getting both her and Barret to the top 10
Your dedication was rewarded

Robazoid posted...

And I think you hate Squall anyway so it all works out

Anti-votes are lame imo
Better to just not save if I don't like/care about either

Sorry Nanis... I wanted to get Garnet and I tried holding but just couldn't get the 25th Squall save from anybody.

The Delita savers really were all at the front of the pack too, it was brutal, reminded me of last year, damn.

Happy for the Delita crew but Garnet in the finals would've been nicer.

Thanks Martin, I am super thanksful for you for saving her back then when she was iron man
And I would have done the same thing here, #1 priority means everything at this stage
She also missed 4 saves so it wouldn't help much anyway (not even Moonroof)

@captaincanadian
@Nanis23

get Delita with your finals votes that you owe me

oh nvm you posted
Sure

---

wololo

Well that sucks, can't really complain about #3 because this is amazing placement but..fine.
If before the contest you told me she would reach top 10, or, hell, top 5, I would be overjoyed, so I really can't complain about this

Huge thanks for everyone that supported Garnet, finally she got a placement she deserved!

@tennisboy213 Last round I offered all my finals vote for the next person to save Garnet, and that was you
Not sure if you even saw it...but if you want to redeem, go on ahead (not planning to save in the finals otherwise)

wololo

Well
I did my best, I have no regrets

---

wololo

Bye

wololo

Yeah I won't have H2 probably fuck me

---

wololo

Garnet

---

wololo

Thank you, Martin

I feel like the risk of not having a trade partner for H2 is bigger than the risk of not getting a H2 after a trade deal
But what do I know, I never got a character I care about so much this far

(I think I was in the Vivi 2nd win contest but I wasn't as invested as I am now)

Steiner posted...

and since it's very unlikely that both of you are correct in this scenario, i think trades are pretty poorly advised unless you have a bias of which other character you want to eliminate

Well, this is for people with the privilage of wanting both characters to advance, or not caring enough about their main to the point they can turn down a trade offer because they hate the third character more

I don't like Squall. Not only is he my least favorite character left, he is also my least character in this contest. Hell, in the entire franchise, probably
And yet I would trade with a Squall supporter. Because I like Garnet far more than I hate Squall and I am willing to do whatever is necessary to get her to the finals, even if it means voting for a character I don't like at all
I don't care if the finals are Garnet vs Squall or Garnet vs Delita. I just want her in the finals and that's what matters the most

---

wololo

Steiner posted...

and your trade partner will also be one of the ones that manage it?

No, because it's a H1 trade so he will save Garnet in H1 and I will save his character and then in H2 I will save Garnet myself

did you see ffd's stats? idk how you can be confident that you'll be in 20 seconds

Because I am going to sit in front of my pc for 6 hours straight and press F5 every 3 seconds

andylt posted...

Probably for that very reason, people don't have confidence in getting H2 if it's so short.

But this is the thing - because you can't trust others to have H2, you trust yourself, so you need your free save to be on H2, not H1

Unless people just don't trust themselves to be quick on this round

---

wololo

Why is it so hard to get a H1 trade for this round lol
From what I read most trade deals were broken

Lightning Strikes posted...

Manga ofc.

Also the series wasnt cancelled. Kubo was seriously ill and dealing with a recurring injury at the end which is why the ending was rushed, but he ended it on his terms. Common Bleach myth.

What
No way
Then how do you justify (major spoiler) Yhwach dying in like 3 chapters, when certain other enemies are taking like 12 chapters to kill? the major big bad, being a total pushover. How is this not rushed?

---

wololo

I have a higher tolerance for Bleach than most people do and I find it hard to recommend it
Most people say that only the first 2 arcs are good ("Hollow" and "Soul Society" but I don't really remember the official names for the arcs). Less tolerante people might say that only the first arc is good.
I am going far and say that up until the FaKaTo (shoretened due to spoiler, full name is "Fake Karakura Town" arc) arc this is all good. Yes, the arrancer and Hueco Muendo arcs are good as well

But then it falls hard. Like, super hard. I used to defend this series so much but it disappointed me plenty in this arc.
So many hyped characters turned out to be red herrings. Died so soon or just disappointed. So many promises were broken. So much stuff that fans hyped and speculated for years turned out to be nothing. Was it my fault for getting my hopes up? maybe. But it would still be disappointing otherwise

And then the Fullbringer arc is a massive shit and the Manga Only arc is pretty bad as well. Ending was super rushed to the point of face palming myself because of how rushed it was

And this was a manga review.
For the anime...it's even harder to recommend. There are so many fillers. Even if you try to skip them all, they went to the "let's merge filler in canon episodes" route and it sucked. They put filler characters in canon episodes. It's a mess

The only way I can recommend Bleach is if you are the kind of person that is fine with dropping a show midway. I am sure you will enjoy it for like the 100 first episodes you watch (assuming you avoid filler episodes) but will you be comfortable to stop when it shit the bed?

Actually you know what

I am also asking for a auto H1 trade for Garnet, both characters are fine (but please take FBike trade first)

Is saying "I will support X next year if Y gets to the finals" against the rules?

MartinFF7 posted...

and another user having a 14 vs. 15 finals..

:(

Yeah I won't vote in the finals if Garnet goes out because I don't like Squall and I don't know Delita
I mean I might antivote...but it's lame
But I owe Tennis all my 10 finals votes so it doesn't matter

Bane_Of_Despair posted...

oh is moonroof saving Garnet hour 1 as part of that stupid "if you get the final save to kill X you get my hour 1 save" from whatever many rounds ago

honestly I'd say if you can't get Garnet through without that then does she really deserve to get through, but maybe I'm being harsh

Well, bounties are a thing
And it's only fair she made it this far thanks to a bounty considering how she died last year!

---

wololo

Bane_Of_Despair posted...

Hasn't Moonroof saved Squall before, seems just as unfair to Squall as it is Garnet so seems like it cancels out

or was he needing to save for a NR obligation

He can also rebel and not save Garnet for the sake of it
But it's a risk I am willing to take because although he is a troll, he is not a jerk

---

wololo

Lefty, can you unban Moonroof please?
It really feels unfair for Garnet supporters, thanks

---

wololo

His Edea bounty was super sweet though
Basically gave Garnet 5 saves (should be 6 if he is not really banned for the rest of the contest..)

But at this point it's very rare to have the privilage to anti-vote a character, as almost all the saves are trades/save for the favorite character

---

wololo

Predict - Garnet will get eliminated with 24 votes tomorrow because we won't have Moonroof vote

---

wololo

Enjoy tennis

All my final saves for the next one to save Garnet (and I will only use 10 of my saves)

I need a Tifa saver to save Squall instead. I completely forgot my trade with GenesisSaga

Any one with an hour two trade available please honor the trade I had with GenesisSaga

@GenesisSaga I am a complete idiot. If someone doesnt remedy this for me
you will have all my saves for the remainder of the contest as recompense. I am legitimately sorry and this wasnt my attempt to be sneaky in any way. I know you have no reason to believe me but I am
genuinely sorry.

@GenesisSaga this reminds me, our trade deal is cancelled, right? because you took 2 trades and it doesn't make sense
Just save Squall next hour like you want to do (I made a trade deal with Mewtwo because I wasn't sure if we are still going because it doesn't make sense)

LiquidOshawott posted...

The reason is Roba basically quit until top twenty last year and without him she didnt really have anyone else saving her early on.

Like the biggest reason surprise boots happen is just that people try to do projects/goofy characters expecting people to save regularly strong characters that they like to get by. And then when that doesnt happen...

Oh wow people do that?
I would never gamble my main.
First to make sure my main is safe. Than I can have the luxury to save less popular characters

It always amaze me how weak Yuna is
I never played FFX but I assume she is the main heroine?
