Shadow has two top 25 finishes, but every other finish except one has been in the bottom half. Somehow, he's never been booted though. He has the worst STATS of any character who has never been booted except for Firion, who just joined this year and only has four appearances. It's an impressive achievement in its own way. Since his numbers are thoroughly mediocre already, this performance doesn't hurt him that much. Shadow drops a bit from 39.56% to 39.14%, only losing one spot to Cid Highwind to land at 76th place.
His New Era numbers are even worse, to the point that Shadow actually went up there! He rises slightly from 31.33% to 31.44%, breaking a tie with Kadaj for 85th place.
