This is a challenge to make a worse finals right

Gogo Queen Brahne vs Dona

Queen Brahne is better than both...

DOGA is legitimately a good character, so destroys both.

guys it's not difficult, the answer is just Lightning vs Hope

This is a actually true.

Worst for me would probably be like Terra/Vaan or something

yea having Vaan in a final kind of automatically qualifies it for worst

it's better than Vivi/Locke at least but that might be it

What is this dumpster fire of an opinion?

Unless someone can quickly whip up a more convincing drawing of Fang...!

I mean, I can post some stuff, and it DID help Tifa beat MMX. :P

I mean, if you really want me to vote Cid.

Also Vivi vs Locke was like the absolute dream final. It can never be bested.

3. Kefka Palazzo
CII - 18/45
CIII - 43/50
CIV - 51/55 (Booted)
CVI - 27/65
CVII - 30/70
CVIII - 28/75
CIX - 18/75
CX - 33/75
CXI - 32/75
CXII - 16/75
CXIII - 9/75
CXIV - 14/102
CXV - 38/100
CXVI - 2/100 [lost to Tidus, 357-350]
CXVII - 19/100
CXVIII - 91/100 (Booted)
CXX - 3/100

It's somewhat fitting that it took complete chaos for Kefka to finally break into the top ten, and that random hard boot aside, he's been at his best ever since. Kefka climbs from 60.86% to 63.05%, up five spots to 25th.

This is somehow the most outrageous thing youve ever posted

Dona was my favorite Summoner. Give me Final Fantasy X-III: Dona Returns.

Barthello we're leaving!

i think MWC misread that and thought you were talking about the FF3 guy

This does seem like the only thing I'll ever get... :(

ermy I'd try to go in for a Red XIII thing, I helped him a bit this year too. I have to help Auron and keep Vivi respectable but I've been wanting to do something for Red XIII as well
---

I was mostly joking Bane. I've quit save mys basically, other than a few special appearances. After spending countless and countless years coming out with only a couple 2nd places to my name, it just ain't worth the effort.

a worthy final for this contest tbqh

Was he not?

no he said Dona, the FFX character (i actually like her but i imagine most people don't)

Mana Sword!!!

I noticed Cissnei in your top 10 and spotted you saved her once or twice when I was looking at the early rounds on the log site, but I never saw anything from you in the later ones... too busy maining your guys? We should work together on something, next year...

Cissnei is lower on my priority list and it just so happened that all my higher ones made it just as far

Im not really super interested in pushing her, I already did that her first contest and I dont actually care enough to put in the effort I used to back then

Also this contest is never coming back so it doesnt matter
---

Ah I was wondering how she got so far back then, thought it was Zack's coattails... well, good job there.

And yes all of that was conditional on say, either the contest or all of existence being mercifully being wiped out from existence. Either or.

MartinFF7 posted...

Eddv, the guy that fucked us all out of Lightning's run, right? Well that's good for him I guess...

Its not like I did it on purpose.

Lightning was backed by me in her two runner up years too
---

Yeah I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said... I apologize.

I just can't get over the fact that of the dozens if not hundreds of early-post warnings given over the course of the contest, that's the one that slipped by, in that one exact round... Lightning wins if that doesn't happen and instead we get Fang who's just so bad, I just can't get over that weeks later. I'll get over it to support a proper Lightning run next year ideally, but this really should've been her time. Whoever updates the wiki should put a 48 pt size asterisk next to Fang's name.

The funny thing is I think if Fang wins this it really hurts Lightning's chances in the long run. Not that Fang's fans should consider that when saving her, but like... of all the FFXIII characters to win it's Fang of all characters? I could see that souring the waters to taking pity on Lightning and actually supporting her to actually win-- which is easier than it used to be because a lot of her anti-voters have dissociated from the contest over the years.

I mean, Lulu was the first winner from X and she did it by beating what most people consider the best/most popular character.

but then how many years after that did it take for X's protagonist to win

Yeah that's what I've been thinking the whole time. Whether it plays out or not remains to be seen but I think it would've been wiser to stop & regroup for the Lightning run next year. But hey, a win's a win, you gotta take it when you can get it...

There has to be some meta backstory there, did Auron piss people off? Was he backed by users that people didn't like? I mean, there has to be some story there, but there are more than a few results I don't understand (Zell over Yuffie?)

I don't really consider Lightning's situation comparable to Tidus's either way but yeah even if you do it's not a great example.

You pretty much already heard. Your man User rigged it apparently along with a user called AmazingKirby.

Lightning would take at least two years to win anyway because of Seph next year

okay maybe Auron is more comparable to Lightning but even he took a while to win
---

Zell vs Yuffie was basically the most user contest result we have with Yuffie being the goat that happened to survive to be eaten by Zell

Is... is this a real thing

I haven't seen anyone else hype up a Seph run (I was hyping Seph/Lightning finals but figured Lightning would win that final)

Are we going to make it happen??

no, i was doing it this year and where were y'all, trying to back fucking cissnei get fucked.

Yeah, well... I had to see that through. And that elimination was one of those things you don't think will happens until like 5 people (including yourself) who needed to be there weren't because of when the round ran.

I'm with you next year, for whatever that's worth or however much of a dick you are, I guess!

a lot.

Why do people keep talking of a next year when this was the last one

Best to prepare for the worst case scenario (the contest continuing)

Hey you just need to replace Fang with Cid Highwind and it becomes a top tier finals as Cid Bowl is a reality
