Board 8 > Save My Favorite Final Fantasy Characters XX: Day 90 (RULE CHANGE) [smfffc]

(+) Yeah! (+)

@guffguy89

Just checking, our deal is permanent, right?
---

Not as good as RM obviously, but I dunno if his one bad finish would bring him down lower than her.
---

She had a bad (48th) placement last year so 2nd overall isn't in the cards. But it'll be high... too high.

No stats spoilers though, lefty doesn't like us honing in on his turf, lol

Oh nvm, I thought her worst was in the 20s.
---

Looking for that H1 Seymour trade once again, I think.
---

i like half this top 10, which is probably worse than usual, but the two characters i most wanted to make it this year did so i can't complain.
---

Over their first for years RM placed higher performance vs Performance, so she shouldn't be too close.
---

For new page:

Looking for hour 1 trade deal for Kefka moving forward.

MWC whenever you see this, straight Vincent from now on. Ramza has met his goal and we are now just ALLIES of the great Ramza.

VI grats and thank you for carrying my personal favorite so far. I wish this had come at a better time, but let's meet in the finals in a bro like fashion. Somehow.

I had a feeling.

Whoever has any saves with me. Vincent from here on out boys.

On that note...

Anyone want to do either a Vincent hour 1 or 2 auto?

(Both available; not just one)
---

Hour 2 for Seymour.

If XIII falls I dont even know what I would go to. Not much left I know or care about so hopefully it doesnt come to that

so Eiko, Ashe and Cid H ended up in a 3-way tie for top iron man. each of them had one user accounting for 3/6 of their iron man saves - captaincanadian for Cid H, and me for both Eiko and Ashe.

just something weird i noticed.
---

It's still theoretically possible for any character to claim the iron man crown. For two more rounds.
---

So the record for longest survival after a snipesave looks to be Adelle, who lasted an extra 60 rounds.

And man, round 21, I still remember that... the site outage with the extended save cycle, where I caught and avoided the potential lawyering at the end. And Sabin lasted an extra 56 rounds after that! Good times.

We just need to make Rikku the new Ashe and keep her second-last ever round, with H3 domination. Already got the streak going...!

11. Edea Lee
CXVII - 13/100
CXVIII - 12/100
CXIX - 48/100
CXX - 11/100

If not for last year's drop-off, Edea would have had a fighting chance at second in the STATS. Instead, she'll just have to settle for a debut of 80.00% at 4th place.

Top ten by number of appearances:

[7] Vivi Ornitier
[7] Rikku
[3] Kefka Palazzo
[2] Vincent Valentine
[2] Seymour Guado
[2] Oerba Dia Vanille
[1] Cid Pollendina
[1] Oerba Yun Fang
[1] Sazh Katzroy
[1] Ramza Beoulve

Edea collecting them 11-15 placements

but aww yeah new personal best is great and hell yes to entering 4th

I don't know how to fix this, but 4th place for a character that only appeared 4 times is kinda stupid
Newcomers have it easy
---

The way to fix it is to make them have a bad time next year to even it out

But honestly if you Main a new character for a few years and save consistently in the top half youre basically guaranteed to be top 30 at least

I mean that's just how percentages work.

Well the way to "fix it" is to make the minimum appearances for stats increase but I think more people would be upset about that than happy with it.

I am surprised no one did a Top 10 prediction
I guess people just don't want to jinx it

I did at the time, nobody else took me up on it, but probably just like you said, didn't want to jinx it... I posted my results earlier along with my top 5 (and Bane did his top 5 too) so feel free to get on the top 5 train!!

I haven't really paid close enough attention to all the characters' performances to feel confident in any Top 10 prediction.

Yeah. No one really outright HATES Vivi, and as more people lose their priorities, it's entirely possible people become pissed off at the success of people whose characters they disproportionately hate, and if Vivi's still around, he's a perfect vessel for expressing that dissatisfaction.

I dont hate Vivi, but I do think hes a terrible character if that counts for anything. Then again, I pretty much find all FF9 characters to be terrible outside of Freya, and possibly Beatrix and Blank.

It would be pretty funny if Ramza won since as far as I know Im the only one maining him
