10. BELTSTATS

CII - 1/40 [197-184 vs. Auron]
CIII - 12/50
CIV - 40/55
CV - 57/60 [Booted]
CIX - 68/75 [Booted]
CXII - 62/75
CXIII - 60/75
CXIV - 49/102

CXVI - 10/100
CXVII - 82/100
CXVIII - 57/100
CXIX - 10/100

Lulu is one of only four characters with a championship and multiple boots, and you guys can probably guess the other three pretty easily. She has four top 25s, three of those being top tens, including a championship in CII in our only same game final. She did really well her first two contests, but she couldn't finish above the bottom quarter and got booted twice in her next five appearances. She's mostly done better than that since then, other than her CXVII finish in soft boot territory, so she's slowly improving her stock. With this performance, Lulu increases from 42.95% to 46.64%, passing twelve characters to go from 67th to 55th.

Lulu's two top tens and generally improved recent performance means she's noticeably better in the New Era. There, she goes from 50.19% to 56.99%, moving past sixteen characters to go from 50th to 34th. By contrast, her Old Era numbers are pretty bad. She was at 37.77%, which put her at 61st place between Palom and Lenna, making her the lowest ranked champion in the Old Era.

Who's trump

To be determined

we don't know who's won yet since we're still in the primaries

That is correct.
---

hmmm last time Lulu got 10th Tidus got 1st *thinking emoji*
---

geez what did you guys do to my Lulu before I started doing these contests
---

I feel like after this contest were getting to the point where there are more champions with boots than without them.

Cecil
Celes
Vivi
Edgar
Kuja
Gilgamesh*
Zidane
Rydia*
Tidus

I guess it depends on how you classify Rydia and Gilgamesh.
---

also if we're treating the top ten like the Republican primaries based on the order in which they dropped out of the race then Lulu is Rand Paul in this scenario

tomorrow's elimination is Carly Fiorina
---

when did you start?

she was my first save for like 5 contests straight until i decided to just give up on her
---

I dunno why there's an asterisk on Rydia! She's pretty clearly had a hard boot!

Gilgamesh's would only count if he missed the next contest (which he won't)
---

why do we have to qualify rydia

she got last place once
---

Didnt raytan allow her right back in the next year though?
---

So I technically did some saves here and there during Steiner's win I think but last year was really my first year with maining Vivi all the way through

Worked out pretty well imo
---

no
---

Nope, she missed a contest.
---

huh

Not sure why I thought that then.

for some reason it always starts out well

I got Squall and Cloud to the finals in my first two contests and it's been downhill from there
---

oh has balthier been booted? I forgot him
---

He has not.
---

this was the year i said that i was just going to give up on Lu because she didn't seem to have much strength the last contests i participated in

again her 10th place finish is missing from my memory so i don't know what happened there because it would have still been at a time where she was my first save.
---

Well this year Auron got booted and Vivi dropped pretty early considering who he is so it's already heading down
---

Oh you know what I might have been thinking of? Back before there were noms, raytan never reintroduced characters after they got booted (in favor of winners like Teta and Xezat), but Rydia got special treatment and came right back after one contest out.
---

you say that

but eiko only missed one contest
---

it's always the little girl characters
---

So Barret is the only one left who has been booted before, right?
---

superstrongrinoa is eating again

can anyone stop superstrongrinoa
---

I'm almost certain Vanille has been booted.

Because the joke that her and Fang could never make the same contest.
---

Yeah, Vanille's been booted. Then Fang got booted the next contest.
---

Vanille has been booted before, yes.
---

Oh huh, I stand corrected.

So 2 of 9.

9 out of the 17 different winners are non-boots

Boots only tie if Vanille or Barret wins.
---

Go go Barret and Vanille then.
---

chocolate and vanille
---

...that makes me l want to support Vanille.

Also easy Photoshops since you just headswap Sazh
---

this contest ain't all chocolat et vanille
---

i have been made aware of a terrible prophecy that may come to fruition tomorrow.

"fight your fate" the wind whispers
---

@BetrayedTangy I'm done with trading. Sorry.
---

it is liberating
---

You're good prof. I enjoyed reading with you hopefully we can trade again next year

Kain's timing his jump to avoid the elimination

Masterful

smfffc kain is the opposite extreme of mercs kain

ive been waiting like 10 rounds to make a terry bogard train joke

or so it feels like.
---

my favorite memory of the plan jump on the train was being in a skype call with sytha as he randomly opens the topic, and starts going ballistic about how jumping in on terry bogard is the dumbest thing these guys could do, as his anti air was unstoppable.
---

what would happen if Kain performed his jump on the Woglinde

the terrain is unbreakable so do they just all die in outer space???
---

How the hell is Kain pulling it off all the time
---

people are happy to help out those in NR Hell, it means their characters get saved next round, and the character they're saving is going to eventually be doomed anyways so they get to knock out stronger competition with it

It would have been pretty funny for Cloud to go out today.

See Steiner, you didnt even have to get Cloud to win to make MWC stop posting!

a win is a win

people helped Kain for nothing this time around

Kain has fooled people into thinking he's kaos when he's really control

just as planned
