Shadow and Edge are two of my most hated FF characters, so as a fellow ninja I don't like Yuffie's odds!

Yuffie is nothing like Edge or Shadow. She's much more similar to someone like Rikku.

It was mostly a concerted effort by some of the FFVIII crew to get Irvine out of the bottom ten, and we succeeded.

Don't know what the bottom ten looks like these days though.

Yeah it's just worth noting that squall was on a streak of 8 years of top 12 when other ff8 characters were also doing good.

These days it takes a miracle to keep more than 2 alive in the top half

If we're lucky lefty will post full stats at some point (and new stats and maybe leftystats!)

And yeah I forgot Leon hosted too. Wow this contest had two FF8 fans as hosts and Squall didn't win until years into lefty's tenure lol.

Current all-time bottom 10 (#1 being the worst)

10. Wakka
9. Edea Kramer
8. Interceptor Arrowny
7. Shuyin
6. Yang Fang Leiden
5. Amarant Coral
4. Kimahri Ronso
3. Vaan
2. Gabranth
1. Garik Ronso

Garik newly entering stats at the bottom after a collective effort this contest to eliminate him Day 2.

Eyeballing the stats page, Irvine looks to be...23rd worst? so certainly cleared the bottom.

Nobody was nominating 10 Narshe moogles (other than one great user!) so figured I'd do something productive w/ my noms

Shuyin was also in last place and moved up that much based on his finishing 40th this go-around

Somehow Nooj has yet to be nominated

largely because I never touched X-2 and instead go with great X characters like Oaka XXIII and Nimrook

Shadow is a bad person. He abandoned Relm and then chose to die at the end for no reason rather than finally be there for her in the harsh times ahead. What a jerk.

Edge was just really annoying.

Hey GMUN, you need to update the missing character placements for top 25! I need to calculate what place Jessie has to hit next year to be the new stats goddess, lol.

LiquidOshawott posted...
What if we nominate all of the bottom ten and see who outlives the others

As you noted it's impossible w/ Garik boot buuuut we could do that with the "newstats bottom 10", which I figured I'd take a look at since we differentiate top newstats characters. Also neat since it paints a very different picture from the overall, considering the need to be bad at least 4 times in a span of 11 contests.

10. Gau
9. Chocolina
8. Serah Farron
7. Bartz Klauser
6. Ultimecia
5. Shadow
4. Genesis Rhapsodos
3. Seifer Almasy
2. Interceptor
1. Reno

Softboot king Reno is no surprise, 72nd and 68th place finishes in XIV and XV respectively are followed by 5 appearances over 9 contests which ended with 1 hardboot and 4 in softboot territory (2 booted, 3rd TBD). Will he add one more next year or will he be given a merciful break...?

Rude, Gabranth and Kimahri are all below Reno with 3 newstats appearances so ready to jump right down there. Marche is also in the mix for the bottom but I'm assuming nobody wants to bring that back to the contest...

I'm not seeing any of the newstats bottom 10 in the hardboots this year so in theory they could all come back buuuuuut 10 Narshe Moogles. We should nominate in the 10 Narshe Moogles.

yeahhh the page with those overview stats still uses the old database still which takes more inputs to update because i was a database newbie when i set it up - the new database for instance just requires a character name, contest ID#, and placement while the old database also needs save nickname, their series (FF6, etc), the contest label, run #, # of total contestant in that run, and even the roman numeral of it lmao whoop

remember folks always important to give your database a bcnf functional dependency

of course I could write a join query that can copy paste the new database back to the old database but once again lazy so i just copy/paste to excel, fill out the extra data, then copy/paste back to old database

which i think i've done now
