Still sticking with one of my three hopes:

-Auron wins XXI
-XXII is Auron vs. Vivi ("The Bane Bowl") to crown the first three-time champion
-SMFFFC is cancelled thereafter with Gamefaqs being shut down and the earth being salted for good measure. We'll finally be free!

I could see Auron winning this. All he has to do is outlast Braska (easy) and Jecht (possible) and he gets my full power. I have some success in the smiffic field. ... Well not much lately, but I've had some success in the past. Auron is popular with casuals and vets alike, maybe just as much as Vivi, but his fans aren't as consistent.

However, and I say this with all due respect, you are a damned fool if you're even entertaining the thought Auron vs. Vivi would happen the very next contest after one won and what, only *three contests after the other won? Know you NOTHING about smiffic? That's not how it works... that's not how ANY of this works! No fucking way anyone but Bane would allow that to happen.

*Vivi did win the contest preceding Fang's victory right?

I dunno, its not likely that Cid P is gonna be in the finals again so the finals arent a gimme.

Unless you people are damn fool enough to let me get Leon into the finals.

Once you have two 2-time champions, it'll be like a fever sweeping the population, they won't be able to control themselves... the urge to vote in support of a 3-timer will be irresistible!

(yeah it's a dream, but we can dream!)

Fine four contests later. The point is ain't none of that happening except maybe Auron winning this one and that's only if all the pieces fall in the right order. Even though I like Auron the most of JAB he's not my top priority until the others are Sent. I feel like Jecht could make a deep run too, even without FFD so he and Auron are tied at #2 until Braska's pilgrimage is over. Dunno what I'll do when the dream ends. (I'm sorry guys, I'm on a terrible reference roll!)

Anyone who prefers one over the over wanna plead their case for Auron or Jecht now so that when the inevitable happens I don't go full casual and save both and be done with it?

best STATS for an X-2 character (Gippal - 35.29%)


Yeesh

Um... Gippal is the best original X-2 char so I see nothing yeesh about this

And I was going to ask how Vivi won but then I saw Lightning went out in 4th so the final three was him, Locke (?) and Doomtrain (???) so that was really a gimme win, I think I asked before how Doomtrain got so far but I don't remember the answer... and just don't understand...

Edit: okay Vivi barely scraped by Locke in the votals so I guess there was two-timer resistance?

The 'yeesh' is that the best character in the game is only at 35%

I never got far enough in the game to have an opinion on Gippal

I'm really sad Locke had to be Vivi's opponent that year. VI hasn't had a winner since... contest VI, so I would've been all over pushing him if he was against literally anyone else.

Locke had a lot of fans that year, including me pushing him back when I used to actually make the majority of rounds. We also had an alliance with the Doomtrain guys so they mostly voted him in the finals

I agree it's hard to understand people voting against Doomtrain with that final 3 but honestly, it's what happened.

Nanis's Quina save breaks the streak that BetrayedTangy and StifledSilence had successfully pulled off, of being the only two to save the character for 47 straight rounds. Which I guess was required with Tangy's absence & it would've been broken when the rule change happens in a few days anyways, but still, nice run.

And Aerith didn't get eliminated on the day we got this so also nice!

(Also, Toronto Chick-Fil-A has a lineup around the building and a sign saying there's a 45 minute wait time, I assume that's just the wait time to order. Unexpected. It opened on Friday but I guess the enthusiasm to try it is still strong...)
Whoops!
He asked for it, though
Also hot damn they made Aeris look good
Will make it even more sad when she dyes her hair

I mean, I'd also vote for Doomtrain in that final 3, let's not kid ourselves here. It's more about how it got to that point instead of, say, 97th place. What a run...

to call it a "gimme" belies just how lucky Vivi got, considering he could have easily been denied a berth in the finals with even the slightest attempt from Locke's fans

instead, a bunch of Locke supporters got it in their heads that Vivi would be an easier opponent in the finals than Doomtrain (or, in a few cases, just didn't want a "non-character" to even have a chance at a title)

*raises a hand*

Ooh, ooh me! Yeah I prefer Locke to Vivi but I knew he'd be at a disadvantage in a final given how ridiculously popular Vivi is. Still that is a decent final and I didn't want to give B8 the chance to fuck it up with a lolo joke literal hype train. Joke runs can be fun, but only if you're in on it. And that, as they say, is that. ;)

I miss propaganda... Hell aside from that Fault in our Strats one, I even miss Cidpics a bit. Where's the creativity now? It's like no one even tries anymore. Next contest I actually decide to support Tidus in I have a gimmick idea that'll flex my creativity pecs. I hope you guys are looking forward to SMFFFC XXIII...
