Board 8 > Save My Favorite Final Fantasy Characters XXI: Day 74 [smfffc]

(+) Yeah! (+)

wow close call for your favorite final fantasy character lefty
---

Socko with the twist of being the first to save Vincent and then the one to eliminate him
---

I gotta say that's a little bit strange to eliminate a character you're in an alliance with just for the sake of using your vote.
---

Much appreciated to all who saved vincent along the way
---

Socko is a strange man, to be fair.

Another solid run for Vincent, always glad to see.
---

Thank you so much @Janus5k

I got really busy and forgot to come back for hour 3

---

Year of FFXIII remembers, Stifled. *thumbs up*

Back in country and put in a save as soon as plane landed... but was I too late

Narrator: he was too late

but still pretty fortunate, thought I'd be in the air for the whole round.

man I'm really putting a lot of work into this FFCCTCB movie-playthrough video guys you better watch it when it's done you have a year

i'm pretty proud right now fastforwarding through a long gameplay segment and inserting and switching to the correct BGM for the segments aww yeah
---

Bah my free save...amounted to nothing!

Well that was a weird ending. He may not have been part of it this year, but RIP fellow red cape member

Welcome abroad I've been here since Tidus died
---

Mine's getting there. I think Quina and Jecht are the only two left in it and I'm not sure if either will make it to the top 20
---

let's see top 5 was

Celes
Layle
Edea
Shadow
Edgar

1 remains since like 10 rounds ago, although Kefka is a practical tie (with Locke)

---

Ramza
Delita
Cecil
Balthier
Laguna

pretty good tbh

---

I mean Locke and Kefka are both practical ties onto that list! I don't really know how I rank my four next 6ers past Celes
---

I guess if I had to go with five more atm

locke
Barret
Tidus
Ashe
uh Ill get back with you on this one (but I do like Wiegraf/Cid H/Figaro Bros/Golbez/Waifu Perky chicks)

---

Vanille
Faris
Zidane
Celes
Sazh

I've got one left!
---

It's hard for me to do a top 5 but Vivi and Auron are my top 2 so that's nice

No its not, stop doing this bullshit.

I've got just the 1, which is actually a little strange for this point in the contest. Usually, my legitimate top 5 is propped up by others but this year that all kinda fell apart. I'm not totally sure what will happen if my top guy falls at this point. I suspect I'll just support this Auron run since he's probably in my top 10 somewhere.

For Auron?

ah I was about to post that on the bright side, Vincent's loss is Rydia gain. Her finishing at least 17th place vaults her over Terra into the top 10 after all...!

GMUN: less CC playthrough, more stats update plz. I was compiling the iron man stats for the days I was out and missed how Vincent was barely hanging on, damn.

Okay unexpected iron man update time since there was lots of interesting developments

-literally only Yuffie and Vincent in the snipes for the past 6 rounds (!!)
-Sabin and TG Cid eliminations solidifed their reigns as longest-lasting 1 and 3 round iron men in this contest (Rydia could still top that though)
-Yuffie is now in the dreaded four-round club, where each of the previous residents (Laguna, Celes, Dr. Cid) were eliminated the very next round after that achivement

Will she continue the trend or acquire the spirit of Ashe to keep her rolling?

(personally, I've noticed previous Cissnei supporters had their mains eliminated yesterday and today, so I'd say Gilgamesh is in danger tomorrow if the trend holds...)

At top 20 we'll run some comparisons to last year.

#1 - 54. Tidus
#2 - 88. Balthier
#3 - 37. Sephiroth
#4 - 95. Yuna
#5 - 27. Vincent Valentine

With my top 5 out that officially makes Auron my favorite left which will make dropping Braska in priority even easier after next round (man I hope he survives). Boy those were some rough boots. Mind you, I didn't really support any of my actual top 5 this time around aside from Tidus and Sephiroth on the back end, but it still hurt to watch them all drop like flies. I think I can count the number of times I saved Yuna and Balthier collectively on one hand... @Grimlyn can you verify?

Not in my top 5, but still fairly important to me:

Former pet project - 90. Isaaru
Ongoing redemption project - 91. Wakka

I can't remember what happened with Wakka tbh. I know why Isaaru had to go. Out with the old, in with the new and all. At least he got STATS. I legit cannot recall why or how Wakka got hard booted AGAIN though and that makes me a sad panda.
---

I know it was a round I missed or got only 1 save in.
---

Grand Wizard Wakka simply had another calling and needed to attend

27. Vincent Valentine

CI - 15/40
CII - 21/45
CIII - 49/50 (Booted)
CV - 42/60
CVI - 12/65
CVII - 35/70
CVIII - 12/75
CIX - 17/75
CX - 47/75
CXI - 38/75
CXII - 59/75
CXIII - 54/75
CXIV - 80/102
CXV - 21/100
CXVI - 20/100
CXVII - 10/100
CXVIII - 19/100
CXIX - 22/100
CXX - 4/100
CXXI - 27/100

Few characters have seen a boost like Vincent's in the newSTATS era - despite a miserable start in CXIV, only three characters have a larger positive differential between their new and old numbers. Vincent climbs 0.73% in the STATS to 60.13%, moving up one spot to 31st. He actually drops a little in the newSTATS, down 0.26% to 75.82%, but that's not enough to drop him from 11th there.

Wakka got the hard boot because hour 3 was under 40 seconds long that day, which meant you and charon only got two sets of saves

https://gmun.moe/savemy/record.php?search=GenesisSaga&type=saver&contest=SMFFFC

you cannot count Yuna on 1 hand... because you cannot count to zero (in positive integers)!

Balthier tho ya 3
---

Vincent is 11 in new stats huh. What does he need to get to 10

---

17th would have guaranteed he passed one of the characters ahead of him

impossible to say for sure because most of the top 10 is still alive

How many times did I save Sephiroth total, GMUN?

How many times have I saved Vincent?

Guessing like 5 and twice respectively.
