FF Character Tournament - Winner revealed!

[Xaven]

Looks like it's a blowout in 3 of the matches but we do have one close one.

Which was the close one? Now they're all at least 2:1.

:dagger:

[Flying Mullet]

Beowulf/Setzer was close for a while.

[Del Murder]

Ok all the matches are now out of hand so I am going to end this early. Here are the play-in round results:

Benjamin (FFMQ) - 4
Tristam (FFMQ) - 18

Beowulf (FFT) - 8
Setzer (FFVI) - 18

Garnet (FFIX) - 27
Aeris (FFVII) - 5

Paine (FFX2) - 19
Llyud (FFXIIRW) - 8

These winners will move on to the main tournament.

Now for the big dance itself. We'll start off with the division separate because I can only use 20 poll options. First up is the Old School Division, featuring FFI-IV and MQ. Here are the round 1 battles:

1. Cecil (FFIV) vs. 16. Tristam (FFMQ)

8. Cid (FFIV) vs. 9. Minwu (FFII)

5. Maria (FFII) vs. 12. Ingus (FFIII)

4. Firion (FFII) vs. 13. Refia (FFIII)

6. Edge (FFIV) vs. 11. Luneth (FFIII)

3. Light Warrior (FFI) vs. 14. Yang (FFIV)

7. Rosa (FFIV) vs. 10. Guy (FFII)

2. Kain (FFIV) vs. 15. Josef (FFII)

I have a bracket but I left it on another computer so I'll have to wait to post it.

[Vermachtnis]

Cecil is probably in my top 5 favorite FF main characters, but my vote for Tristam will probably be the only vote he gets xD
Cid's beard is awesome.
Maria was my favorite character in II and didn't really care for Ingus.
I gave Refia all the strong physical classes in III DS, so she saved me a lot.
Edge is just awesome.
Yang as a strong kick.
Guy speak beaver.
I didn't care for Josef.

[Raistlin]

Not many here I feel particularly strongly about. Cecil and Kain should win, and I voted Light Warrior just to help out FFI.

[Rebellious Eagle]

More people should vote for FFIII characters. :<
And wow, Josef, I forgot about him until now...

[demondude]

I can't stand Cecil.

[Breine]

Cecil is cool.

Anyway, voted in this round. Looking forward to the next.

[Del Murder]

Some smart alec voted for everyone.

[eestlinc]

light warrior gets a tough draw, going against Yang, who should be rated much higher.

[Del Murder]

Cid won the FFIV mini tournament and that's what forced Yang down so low. He had to be below all the other FFIV characters by design. I do agree Light Warrior got a bad matchup to start with.

[Saber]

Sp far everyone I voted for is winning!

[Flying Mullet]

Some smart alec voted for everyone.

Hmm, not a bad strategy...

[Del Murder]

I know it was you Mullet.

Sorry for the delay in getting round 2 up but I've been busy. I'll do it later today.

[Del Murder]

Here are the Old School round 1 results:

1. Cecil (FFIV) - 17 vs.
16. Tristam (FFMQ) - 5

8. Cid (FFIV) - 16 vs.
9. Minwu (FFII) - 5

5. Maria (FFII) - 12 vs.
12. Ingus (FFIII) - 9

4. Firion (FFII) - 15 vs.
13. Refia (FFIII) - 7

6. Edge (FFIV) - 17 vs.
11. Luneth (FFIII) - 4

3. Light Warrior (FFI) - 9 vs.
14. Yang (FFIV) - 13

7. Rosa (FFIV) - 18 vs.
10. Guy (FFII) - 4

2. Kain (FFIV) - 20 vs.
14. Josef (FFII) - 2

Only one upset, with Yang edging out Light Warrior, the only FFI representitive. Maybe it was a tough draw but thems the breaks! Sometimes characters would get a seed lower than some would expect.

Also all of the FFIII & FFMQ characters were eliminated, leaving only FFII and FFIV left in this round. Let's see what happens in round 2! Here are the matches:

1. Cecil (FFIV) vs. 8. Cid (FFIV)

5. Maria (FFII) vs. 4. Firion (FFII)

6. Edge (FFIV) vs. 14. Yang (FFIV)

7. Rosa (FFIV) vs. 2. Kain (FFIV)

Also, here is a bracket as promised.
