charon opening the flood gates:

SSS Finals:
Zell vs. Yuffie (CX) - The culmination of a very long journey, and two high end characters to boot. Throw in the highest (at the time, now second highest) blowout and it was just very satisfying overall.

SS Finals:
Gilgamesh vs. Vivi (CXI) - The second half of Zellgamesh rolling through, even in a squeaker, was fun to see play out. I've certainly paid the price for seeing this double glory, but we all know I still think it was "worth it." (Plus Vivi lost, so bonus points).

Zack vs. Squall (CXIV) - The second highest pound for pound character quality final, and my second favorite character scoops up a win. The last real amazing final we've had.

Marche vs. Lightning (CXIII) - A necessary, rather amazing, conclusion. Lightning loses and The World Destroyer is a piece of contest lore that will never be forgotton.

S Finals:
Cloud vs. Laguna (CXIX) - Could have done with a better winner, but above average quality overall.

Rydia vs. Cloud (CXV) - Had the better winner, still above average in quality.

A Finals:
Tidus vs. Kefka (CXVI) - Disasterous winner, but fun from a competitive standpoint.

Steiner vs. Lightning (CXVII) - This is as high as you can get from just Lightning losing. Should have been like 80 other characters doing the honors though.

B Finals:
Celes vs. Kuja (CIII) - Celes is fine, Kuja didn't win.

Balthier vs. Zidane (CVIII) - Balthier is fine, Zidane didn't win again.

Cecil vs. Zidane (CI) - Cecili is fine, Zidane didn't win.

C Finals:
Auron vs. Sabin (CIX) - Sabin really should have won this one, but this was probably the first JUSTICE run after the CII debacle.

D Finals:
Kuja vs. Terra (CVII) - I begrudgingly accept Kuja since he is not-Terra.

Vivi vs. Rydia (CIV) - Had Rydia just won here, CXV never would have happened and CXVIII wouldn't have been so miserable. Butterfly effect and all that.

Reno vs. Kuja (CV) - On one hand, a yaoi picture literally won SMFFFC. On the other hand, Kuja losing again was amusing.

Edgar vs. Tifa (CVI) - Snooze zone. Not even the people who pushed these characters wanted to vote for them in the end. That pretty much says it all.

F Finals:
Zidane vs. Ashe (CXII) - Holy shit did Ashe deserve so much better than... than this.

Fang vs. Cid Pollendina (CXX) - I didn't see this one exist, so it hurts less. But like, an amputated limb over a headshot.

Vivi vs. Locke (CXVIII) - SEETHING former winner hate. And it burns twice as much since he did it against a legitimately good character.

Lightning vs. Edward (CXXI) - SEETHING Lightning hate. And the Edward comics were the best propaganda since Marche too.

Lulu vs. Auron (CII) - partystar cheated, bragged that he cheated, gave as our pound for pound least compelling duo and THEN had Lulu win. And raytan was like... *shrug*
