All right, I can make a couple saves a round. Make your best pitches and I'll save the two characters with the best options.

this is Vincent's best run ever and it's unlikely he'll ever be able to replicate it (possibly even come close to it) again

Kefka is a great comic book villain, so I will take that pitch.

I'll keep the last one open for a better pitch.

Cid Pollendina falls off of an airship into the Underworld and lives. Now of that's not worthy of a save I don't know what is.

He's also got a full beard and doesn't afraid of anything.

Looking for an hour 1 or hour 2 permanent trade for Rikku, not sure who @Shaduln is going to so I'm not sure if I will still have an hour 1 commitment from him or not.

Seymour has never placed this high before (and frankly, since he has only been in the top *20* twice period, who knows when he will have another shot). The second part of my pitch involves SMFFFC itself; I don't think anyone has ever been so influenced by it than me. I'm not talking about the contest per se, but without this contest it's very possible I wouldn't have been on board 8, you'd never met me in person and shared all the memories we've had, and of course I'd never have left a small, rural SC town working in a dead end, barely above minimum-wage job to live here in one of the country's largest cities with a much better job and a wonderful fiance. Without SMFFFC, my life probably just wouldn't be anything. It's a little weird to say and it isn't solely responsible, but almost surely without it, my life wouldn't be as it is.

So yeah, in the contest that pushed my life in the direction it went in, it'd be kinda cool to actually see my somewhat niche and underappreciated character get the win. Your save can help make for a great story, and I know how much you like those!

I'd argue he is because if you make a list of FFIV playable characters, I don't think anyone leaves him out.

Square left Seymour out of every Dissidia game where it's standard to put the game's antagonist in there.

Besides, what's more niche than a really cool-designed hidden optional character with a great backstory who goes on to be the main character in the (technically true!) FF7 sequel???

The whole Dissidia reasoning is kind of a joke anyway. They put Jecht in over Seymour because Seymour is more Yuna's villain, yet they put Ultimecia in over Seifer. They put in whoever they want and make up a reason for it later.

The problem is now they've put Yuna in Dissidia so they literally have no reason not to add the most important villain in the series that isn't in the game.

It kinda sucks as a series anyway; I really just want to see new artwork and models for him.

I don't see what Yuna being in has anything to do with adding Ardyn.

Barret is a pretty good Final Fantasy villain. Kills thousands in acts of ecological terrorism and still finds time to care for his daughter and make sure she is indoctrinated to his brutal ways.

8. Vivi Ornitier
CI - 5/40
CII - 9/45
CIII - 13/50
CIV - 1/55 [def. Rydia, 179-140]
CV - 21/60
CVI - 25/65
CVII - 16/70
CVIII - 18/75
CIX - 28/75
CX - 3/75
CXI - 2/75 [lost to Gilgamesh, 286-281]
CXII - 35/75
CXIII - 29/75
CXIV - 4/102
CXV - 26/100
CXVI - 21/100
CXVII - 66/100
CXVIII - 1/100 [def. Locke, 359-345]
CXIX - 36/100
CXX - 8/100

Vivi may not be at the top of the STATS table, but his overall resume is second to none. In twenty contests, he has more finals victories than he has placements in the bottom half. Only three characters have more top tens than his eight, and only Cecil's seven top 5s trumps his six. Vivi only climbs a bit from 77.01% to 77.81%, but that's enough to pass Terra and Zidane for 6th place.
