Spicy as FUCK

Is this spicy?

sorry, Terra is too bland for this to be spicy

this contest is already a monumental success and triumph

Ecc?

Every Contest Club, check the top of page 4 on Day 4 for a table of characters who've always been in the contest (or have always been in since they first entered, if they weren't in the very first one)

Terra will be missing XXVII so dropping off that table... Gilgamesh was also on the table and thought it'd be him for a second there.

In the old era this would definitely be spicy

raytan must be rolling over in his grave

Is this spicy?

Nowadays I don't think so, just would have been unthinkable once upon a time

Losing an ECC member is inherently spicy!

Main characters who have been booted: Bartz, Vaan, Noctis, (Zack, Serah), and now Terra. Did I miss anyone? What a list!

technically, if this board doesn't last till the next contest (and this is the last one), she will still be in ECC club.

You missed Firion and Luneth. And I guess Warrior of Light counts too.

It keeps hope alive that, one day, Cecil can be booted too.

Oh jeez

why was it down to those two at the end

I seriously had the same thought like 2 seconds after posting that, lol...

And both of the Tactics Advance leads.

Vincent's been booted once, right?

And the regular Tactics lead.

And sadly the Chocobo Tales lead...

The impossible dream.

Wow dropped out of the 70s, too

There's quite a few characters right behind her that I imagine could pass her with a decent run, so she could end up more like 20th once this year's contest is over.

I didn't know ECCs could still have percent shifts that high

I missed the round, but it was a good thing after all

Yes!!

Behold Genesis's power, the named surrogate of Ultimecia has been destroyed as foretold

This world needed a new hero and it got it-- and he didn't even get into the contest

Oh man

Who cares who wins now

What a great contest

Let's get Ultimecia the crown. Her reward for leading Terra to the slaughter

Wow, that was not somebody even on my radar for an elimination today.

Who's all left in the ECC now that Terra's out for next year?

For reference as to how much Terra has fallen since the regime change, her Old STATS number is 83.96%

time kompression is real

That doesn't even tell the whole story.

Terra reached a height of 87.8099% after Contest X, thanks to eight top 10 finishes in the first ten contests.

She was as high as 2nd overall in stats four times total (Contests IX, X, XII, and XIII). Of course, she was blocked by Kuja in all those instances, who held the top spot in stats from Contests V-XV, before Lightning took it over (and has held ever since).

It took until Contest XXII for Terra to actually fall out of the top 10 in stats. And as I said earlier, depending on how things go, she could be flirting with falling out of the top 20 by the end of this contest once the dust settles.

Hopefully I didn't miss any, but I think this is right.

I'm sad Terra went out, but I'm hopeful that she'll come back with a vengeance in two years! There's recent precedent to it, after all. Auron came back from his boot for 3rd, Yuna came back from her boot for 5th. Even Kain came back for a respectable 19th.

Plus Yuffie is winning this year after her boot.

it finally happened?!

the miracle finally happen

And Vivi got his second win after finishing in the bottom half for the first time, which is basically like a boot for him.

Seriously

Terra hard boot makes me happier than any reasonably likely victor could

Call it spiteful but you know when your guys all get wrecked in the jobber rounds this is what we root for

Could be a national holiday tbqh

Terra was one of five remaining ECC to not have a win yet. With her ousting, there are now only four remaining winless ECC characters.

Tifa and Locke both got as high as second place, with Locke reaching the finals twice so far. Rikku and Sephiroth have only finished as high as 3rd, so no finals appearances for those members.

If we still include Terra, 10 of the ECC are in the current top 20 in stats. Cloud, Sephiroth, and Edgar are the outliers, with Edgar being the lowest in stats, currently ranked 33 at 60.1468%

This was very cool to see laid out, thanks for piecing that together! Pretty interesting to see the stretch of 4 contests in raytanera with zero losses, impressive considering how early on that still was.

Also that reminded me that I was thinking of piecing together some "Every Newstats Contest Club" list, would add it as a 3rd tier on the previous table I posted, which I guess would just cover characters who were booted in oldstats but have pristine attendance record in newstats. Putting that on the stats docket for some later time...

Wait am I missing something, how is Ultimecia getting the rub for this outcome, lol. Though that also reminds me, I forgot to reply in last topic:

Just support Ultimecia in Necron's stead so she can kompress the kontest by her viktory

I am a big fan of kontest kompression and/or being kompressed forward in time (to September)... your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

Ultimecia was to be spared in the 25 newcomers -> 25 boots mission so long as she replaced herself with Terra.

Which she did!

With that show of (dare I say SUPERSTRONG?!) power, how could she not go on a run?

oh man I completely forgot about the "Ultimecia = teRRa bRanfoRd theory" post looool

This does have the feeling of how a legend begins...!

I said Genesis will exact revenge on all the newcomers. 25 graves for 25 newcomers

FFD said "ow my kompression"

I said Genesis will accept a substitute for Ultimecia in support of the U = R theory.

I then clarified I meant teRRa bRanfoRd

Lo and behold Terra lies fallen. Dead. But a mere days later (exact number of days? Unknown due to kompression)

Truly only the power of a real hero combined with kompression could cause such a miracle.

Thus Ultimecia must win.

I was double ninjaed

Truly this must also be kompression's fault

The worst part about Terra going out it you guys being so insufferable about it.
