So yeah, I didn't want to eulogize yesterday because I figured the chances of doing it today were pretty likely. I achieved the goal I set out for, so I can't be too disappointed and I fully expected the result so it wasn't very impactful or dramatic in any sense.

I'd like to thank my fellow long-time Seymour main guffguy for always coming back around during the SMFFFC season and giving our guy his best. It was weird to see for the first time years ago that there was someone else out there who actually had Seymour as his main. I hope this placement pleased you (seemingly so!).

Thanks to Chris for offering to take Seymour up as his main this year, unsolicited. I was surprised to see the offer and I appreciate it. I'd like to thank long-time Seymour late-game supporters like Genny, Denzo, JonPen, KBM, Lopen and others for their votes. Another thank you to all the new people who came in to help Seymour out like bubu, Hbthebattle, Nick and Suprak. Special thank you to Lea for taking time out of your life to make the comics. I've always taken SMFFFC literally; as in the "save my favorite" part. Even though I think he's done the best he can do, I'd always love to be incorrect. There was a time a few years ago where I made a similar goal of top 20 for myself. As you can see by his stats it took 9 tries before he could break that ceiling and now another 6 before the top 5. So maybe with that logic, he wins the contest in 3 years? Yeah, let's go with that. I'm just here to save my favorite character, and that's who I always support each year. I can only see that changing by him winning, then perhaps I'd look to the next lowest favorite who hasn't won yet (an ironic character!).

@TheArkOfTurus this dissolves our trade alliance. I am not committing to anything else left at this time.

Who are the top 10 in the new stats? Is Seymour the top X character or do Rikku or Tidus have a better ranking?

Tidus was 8th when he was eliminated and Rikku was 7th then, so Seymour is top X I think! idk if they're 7/8/9 or if someone else has come in in-between.

andy was gonna save squall free he just wanted to see if he could wait and help seymour out if squall got saved, so MI was the only one to take a NR and I'm covering it. So you should be all good to go.

Seymour must be top X then right? That's something else to celebrate charon! (I am sorry for killing him) I don't know when new-stats start but Yuna and Auron have been booted and I can't think who else would be up there.

also Kefka has been booted and is just the tiniest bit behind Seymour so that's not necessarily a deal-breaker

I like (fraudulent) champion Lulu! She was my secondary for a while! Didn't think of her as a super-strong one. I am now very curious what the X rankings are though.

Edit: Actually where is (the mighty) Leblanc?

fwiw my current plan is to main her next year if she can get back in, unless the FF8 push is solely around Selphie. A Super Strong character deserves a top 10 appearance.

She has one of those.

But next year is definitely the triboot redemption run for Selphie. If we all remember.

Let's throw Quistis in there pj and have a push for all the VIII ladies. If Edea Lee gets kicked out we can put in true Edea too and FBike and burke can just save her and pretend it's their Edea.

Yeah I thought this was heading in a different direction.

Martin I worry how you will react when Tifa exits the contest. Or for that matter how you'll react if she wins.

(Her theme is so good)

FF8 needs to hold off for another year so Kiros can join in on the redemption runs. If we're pushing all the bad characters we need to push a good one too!

Speaking of acronyms a few people should do the supergroup LARG with me

I am open to spaces too, since there's multiple quality characters that begin with each of those letters! And we can include the actual one as a joke

If I'm being honest, the graphics are the main reason I still haven't played FFVII. VIII was fine and anything VI or earlier was sprites. VII though...

The reason is Roba basically quit until top twenty last year and without him she didnt really have anyone else saving her early on.

Like the biggest reason surprise boots happen is just that people try to do projects/goofy characters expecting people to save regularly strong characters that they like to get by. And then when that doesnt happen...

Well they dont have to be a main, or a primary focus that year

could just be a character that they really like and just go with a slightly weaker one hoping the tough character can hang with the Setzers and the Relms of the world
