Topic	Save My Favorite Final Fantasy Characters XXIII: Final Results and Discussion
MartinFF7 10/18/21 10:13:49 PM #78:	Ideally lefty doesn't mind but even if he does - tough! I have some more finals stats since I was tracking things all along just in case. I remember early on just hoping Aerith could get things under 55-45 by the end... didn't think it'd get so close but more new names kept popping in and more importantly, returning for additional saves. Pages 5 and 6 in the new topic, hoo boy... things were getting a little hot in there! Still, more savers returned to put in the full 10x on Aerith than expected and I can't thank everybody enough for that. Final count of 10x savers was 39 Kefka, 34 Aerith (Han, KnightOfNee and early-save Denzo landing at 9). Honourable mention to ScrappyMatt for getting in 8 before his second account got banned, with his primary in purgatory, losing out on 2 potential Aerith saves in the process, absolutely C-L-U-T-C-H rule violation timing. In any case, I want to thank + congratulate the Aeris savers for getting her this far... I always have 3 primary Aeris savers in my mind from the start, and from prior years (even if only 1 was an active trader - she needs more traders for the stretch run next time!) -TotallyNotMI -VengefulKaelee -yellowwolley The trinity of Aeris savers, extra-special congrats to all of you getting her through the early going for a new PB. Still can't believe she wasn't eliminated in 3rd place tbh... And of course BlueCrystalTear coming in for the stretch run; Yuffie refugees StifledSilence and GreatPaul; Pokewars, the Aeris-side beneficiary of the Locke elimination (which in turn basically guaranteed Kefka's endgame run); and MWC... is there a "ChampKefka" account in the works? "FinalistAeris"? "ChampAeris2022"? Has anyone ever registered an "Aeristh" account? Anyways, I hope the Aeris trinity and all other supporters can help get her on another run next year. If you can get her to the end I'll come back to pitch in to assist, but as things stand I don't think I'll be part of the journey to get there. I can't participate in this game without going 10000%, I just take it too seriously, like it's less a casual game and more a daily event I orient my life around. I don't think I can ever be the guy who's not on constant alert for rounds, it just occupies so much of my headspace for 4 months a year. I'm only planning to get my nominations in, and maybe pop in for the top 10 and finals, and that's it. Same deal with SMFAS, for those who participate in that. Recognizing I'll probably lose a bunch of my favs earlier than usual and some might get booted but that's life - step 1 in not caring is to not care what happens in a game you're not participating in...? Anyways, just feel like I need to step away and it's certainly my intention right now, and has been for a while; but if I'm right back here on Day 1 next year don't hold it against me or remind me I said this. I remember after XX thinking about joining the Lightning run the following year, and it's probably then my contest philosophy shifted to just being fixated on getting characters with strong contest histories who hadn't won before, their win. No side characters, no fun runs, no repeats, just getting big characters their big wins. After Lightning won I felt that way about Squall, and Kefka, they were the big two. Now they've both won and... I just don't feel that way about any of the other characters that I did about those 3? Those were certainly the biggest three "due". I think Aerith is getting into that league with 7 - 14L - 2 the past three years. I'd still like to see a deep Tifa run and I think she could win, a performance to wipe away the stain of the Edgar finals; even if I wouldn't be part of any run getting her to the end. And I like the idea of a Ramza run, even if he doesn't have the kind of historical contest success the Lightning/Squall/Kefka trio did, a Ramza run still feels right to me. But it can't happen without VeryInsane being the cornerstone of it? I guess we'll see what happens. Looking at what I mused in last year's results topic: Sephiroth run to top 10, check Kefka coalescing, check Selphie run to top 20... maybe could push that further next go-around? (unlikely since Rinoa will ruin it) (Rinoa ruins everything) YR(P), a force to be reckoned with .........."Yes, rich Ramza" run TBD?? <cite>MartinFF7 posted [p:959172844] in Save My Fa...
