The amount of b8ers with unclean asses is very scary. I've been awakened to a terrible tragedy on this day.

A reminder that a complete remake from the ground up did absolutely nothing for Reno, but one yaoi picture won him a championship.

I mean arguably you could point to Advent Children being better at hyping FF7 than the remake has been.

so close to the jecht boot though

no spice today

I mean he just got hard booted a couple of contests ago. Not really worthy to call that spice.

I agree IV gets a bad reputation for no real reason, but it's still probably not quite as good as the rest.

For every Zack there was a group of Teta, Larg, Buddy, Garik Ronso and Kraken.

It's way too early to predict, and likely any character you predict now won't make it there (welp). I mean outside of Lightning I wouldn't have predicted the last contest very well I doubt; much of what happens is chance and highly dependent on these early rounds. As you said, Edward didn't look great last time but he eventually got going with propaganda. Same thing with Cid P. Who is going to be that character this time? Chances are fairly high it will happen, and it won't be something anyone is going to be predicting at this stage. In fact, I'd say that ever since Tidus defeated Kefka in XVI every single contest since has had a major push from some unknown and unforeseen factor. From Steiner's win the following contest to subsequent runs by relative afterthoughts like Doomtrain and Minwu and finals appearances for historically weak characters like Cid P. and Edward, no contest since that one has been without something rather strange taking place. Any prediction I would make would include some sort of wildcard like the last 5 contests have had in the top 3 or higher.

As far as replicating the run in that contest goes, it's pretty unlikely. Some of the people that helped aren't here and if they are still here, they're not likely going to be interested in pushing the same character who now historically finishes fairly highly. I'm going to try and do my best, but if you look at the statistics on who makes it to the top 5 in the last 5 years, the odds aren't very good for someone with a placement history like Seymour's. I'd love to do some sort of witty comic or drawing but I lack the artistic skill needed for that, and without it I'm not sure getting over this hump is very feasible.

But I'd love to be wrong.

Hard to believe he could actually lose a spot.

I could totally see Seymour snowballing to the finals. charon's dedication will keep him around until late; throw in some friend support and some genuine support and it's not farfetched at all.

Again, I'm still uncertain what makes things so different this time around but okay. I'm not gonna get into it again I guess.

Vivi all day. I'm pretty sure Seymour could get anti-voted and I'd rather just lose to something credible.

Gotta love these one off year runs that do so well and then crash so hard.

Orlandu is like a top 3 Cid easy and he always does shitty in these.

No more Cids.

Zack/Dr. Cid are the only annoying ones. But both were pretty expected given one was nominated back into the contest and not supported and the other had their main saver quit playing. Not saying these were the worst 13 characters that could have gone by any means, but I won't really miss them that much either.

Ranking time:

Dr. Cid > Zack > Steiner > Gaffgarion > Ultros > Serah > Mustadio > Kiros > Lenne > Exdeath > Gau > Elena > Quina > Hildibrand > X-ATM092

Overall it's hard for me not to say this is one of, if not the best, hard boot class there's been.

So basically Exdeath is either pretty decent (top half) or he gets booted. Interesting.
