oh man mwc, you pulled some sweet deals getting drak and leon to agree to save cloud.
---

I don't know why you are using sarcasm when he literally got top ten deals for no cost to his main. Good trading by MWC even if some were low budget.
---

I mean if Squall is still here on Day 93 I'll gladly take the hit

I've already made it clear I'm not the one moving this train bro. I have full trust in you.

I just wanted some days to give a small amount of help and make it easier on you.

11. SUPERSTRONGSTATS

CI - 39/40 [Booted]
CVI - 8/65
CVII - 27/70
CVIII - 31/75
CIX - 13/75
CX - 42/75
CXI - 72/75 [Booted]
CXIV - 44/102
CXV - 34/100
CXVI - 46/100
CXVII - 50/100
CXVIII - 39/100
CXIX - 11/100

Rinoa has a couple of boots to her name, but she honestly hasn't done that poorly aside from that. She's only finished in the lower half one other time, and she has three top 25 finishes, including a top ten. She usually finishes around the middle of the pack and occasionally does really well. With this performance, Rinoa boosts from 53.72% to 56.51%, passing Kain, Zack, and Cloud of Darkness for 35th place, making her the strongest character in the STATS with multiple boots.

Her numbers are better in the New Era. There, she jumps from 58.57% to 63.81%, moving past Jecht, Tifa, Faris, Laguna (for now), Hope, Terra, and Steiner for 25th place. In the Old Era, Rinoa was at 50.25%, good for 41st place between Basch and Selphie.

THIS, I will cheer about. FF13 has its second 100% legitimate top ten character!
---

looks like its time to eliminate squall early next year so he doesnt break kujas record

nah

he can take second from Terra first
---

you can let him have one more year
---

fine one more
---

great elimination
---

see cyan understands

I appreciate your honesty
---

still can't believe Hope of all people had a top 10

and looking at the results that contest is suspiciously missing from my memory
---

Inviso posted...

What made Hope's run not legitimate?
---

a lawyering or something
---

Maybe Inviso is saying Lightning is illegitimate due to owning a cult
---

some lawyer shenanigans with Cecil
---

i like a lot of FFVIII characters just not Squall or Rinoa or Laguana
---

Laguana eh
---

Given the tons of "what" choices that made top 10 before I see nothing unusual about Hope making top ten.

If you like a lot of characters in FFVIII and don't like Squall or Laguna I don't know man
---

Yeah, it's the lawyering shenanigans. Hope being a top tenner would be awesome otherwise.

Maybe hes a follower of the Doomtrain like Selphie
---

Wait????

Terra has never even WON?!

And you all hate her?

I'm so confused now.
---

Selphie is my favorite from FFVIII

You don't have to like or hate a character based on how well they do or don't do!

I mean

Lightning's never won either

I get that bro. But it's weird because so many people hate her so and she's never even succeeded. It'd be different if it were a few. But it's like the group incredibly rabid.

Lightning isn't hated by the entire contest...
---

Oh I actually see Cloud > Squall as a very real and possible finals

Although Lightning > Cloud is infinitely more spicy

Laguna I could see either go out next round or make top 3, not much in between
---

Neither is Terra.
---

Leonhart4 posted...

Neither is Terra.

The fervor she brings makes me think it is...
---

since i've usually just tossed in saves intermittently in this contest until my two priorities go out and it's my first time sticking with it for this long, funny that the time i decide to forsake one entirely to push the other, they both end up making top ten.
---

I mean she wouldn't even be in this contest if literally everyone hated her
---

Oh yeah, my condolences to the actual Rinoa fans (XD GMUN): Leon, WolfofLight, Roba, pj, and FFD. Not because I'm trying to garner Tidus votes- one of you hates his guts and the rest have secondaries/primaries so I know it'd never work- but because 11th is a really rough spot to go out in.
---

it's cool, she was always going to be a hate magnet late round so we knew it was inevitable

and you can at least take solace in the fact that my desire for Tidus to go out is entirely based on his winner status now and nothing to do with his character
---

[1] FFII:
[1] Minwu

We are on the board baby.
---

ff3 is now the official redheaded stepchild
---

time to bring back CoD

FF11 is still up there too.
---

yeah but lol mmos
---

Real Talk I liked II more than III
---

FF3's got some pretty mixed reception if you're not in the job system cult.

For characters FF2's got it beat easily in any case, even if you disagree with the game itself being better.
---

IIIs main problem is that V exists and is a bit better narratively.

III is a lot harder though which makes it way more satisfying than V imo.

I am willing to go on an Ingus or Onion Knight redemption tour though if people want to because that sounds fun.
---

Onion Knight is pretty nice

He hasnt even gotten in yet tbh
---

Save whoever you want
