Strong disagree on Aerith, I felt before the lawyer she was the favorite this year to win

Aerith gets to final 4 instead of Tifa for sure, but I don't think enough people have played Remake to appreciate the character change, and she runs into the same problem Tifa did: Day 97 and 98 belongs to the obsessives (pre-pingers who are simply auto-refreshing to catch rounds, despite whatever certain users think.)

Maybe if there's an overwhelming number of H1 savers who show up in that hour, but otherwise lining up the H2 deals and getting in early is more important than anything and I just don't see it outside me and maybe 1 or 2 other people. Could easily get blocked in 3rd place like Garnet was. Though maybe Aerith's survival causes enough butterfly effects to result in an endgame with enough eliminations lining up those people on her side but I still think she loses vs. Squall and some other finalists, though maybe you're right and she could win.

Hey, maybe next year!

3. Any other questions / comments / suggestions?

Trim the field down to shorten the contest just a little bit. 99 days is too long.

I saw you did 2-eliminations-per-round in the early stages of SMW and think that was a good idea tbh. Keep it to 1 elimination per day in boots but then expand it to 2 a day for a stretch of time thereafter.

This actually reminds me of something I threw together one time but never posted, trying to tie together SMFFFC to the catholic liturgical calendar:

100 through 76: Easter
-Betrayals
-Sacrifices
-Fallen characters can rise again in 1 or 2 contests

75 through 21: Ordinary Time
-filler space between Easter and Christmas
-"ordinary" really refers to the ordinal numbering scheme but this is a pretty ordinary part of the contest, all things considered
-Most of the liturgical year (2/3), most of the contest

20 through 1: Christmas
-best time of the year
-finish line/end of suffering is in sight
-sometimes get a great gift but usually end up with a lump of coal in the finals
