FF Character Tournament Madness! Winner revealed!

[rubah]

ahaha, another time of picking all of the winners.

die celes die!

[Ultima Shadow]

Thank you. Maybe now Auron won't be so dominating. People must have thought they were voting for some super cool hidden Tactics character (not to say Auron isn't super cool).

Actually... I think it's simply because some people (like me) never got the chanse to play FFT.

I know it was a bit unfair to vote Auron since I have no idea what Orlandu is like. But yea... since I don't know anything about Orlandu at all... my vote has to go to Auron... I guess...

[Del Murder]

Hm, I need to break this tie. The first person to post their vote in the Maria-Knight match in this thread will decide the winner. So who did you guys vote for?

[ShivaBlizzard8]

Maria. *wins*

[Del Murder]

Thank you Shiva. Final Four will be up soon!

Getting down to the wire! Here are the results of the Excalibur Eight Round:

4 Knight (I) - ||||\||||\||| 13
7 Maria (II) - ||||\||||\||| 13*
*tiebreaker used

A very close battle where 8-bit competitors traded attacks for magic. With both having white magic abilities, this looked to end in a draw, but at the last second Maria uses her last 16 MP to throw out an Ultima16 prayer, and it does the job.

1 Celes (VI) - ||||\|||| 9
2 Rydia (IV) - ||||\||||\||||\||| 18

Looks like the former Magitek Knight was no match for the Caller. After trading spells, Rydia started her Bahamut attack, and as a last ditch Runic effort Celes put up her sword, only to have it blown away by the king of dragons.

1 Vivi (IX) - ||||\||||\||||\ 15
3 Vincent (VII) - ||||\||||\||||\| 16

Vivi tried to win this one with the auto-reflect + reflectX2 approach. This provided for some powerful offense, which gave him the edge for a while, but also allowed Vincent to get a limit break. The little mage could not reflect a devastating Splattercombo.

4 Orlandu (T) - ||||\|||| 9
2 Auron (X) - ||||\||||\||||\||||\ 20

In this turn-based match, Orlandu threw every swordskill in the book at the legenday Guardian, but he wouldn't have any of it. After fighting is way into overdrive, Auron took aim and blew his opponent away.

Now we arrive at the Final Fantasy Four! This is every character's dream. We have some fresh faces here, since only one of these characters (Auron) has ever made it this far. On to the matchups:

7 Maria (II) vs.
2 Rydia (IV)

A couple of strong women get it on in this battle. Maria's status as first heroine has certainly helped her get this far, but now she enters the relm of the big games. She's been through some tough battles, but that only makes her stronger! Rydia seems like a runaway freight train at this point, destroying the FFVI crew and moving on to her first Final Four. Her magic will have to come through again if she wants to make the finals.

3 Vincent (VII) vs.
2 Auron (X)

Two of the most popular characters in FF history. These guys do things their way and have their own adgendas. Vincent's transformations might not be enough this time, as the experienced Auron has overcome much more greusome creatures, though it will be interesting to see if the Masamune can pierce Chaos's thick hide. These two met in last year's Elite Eight Round, with Auron coming away with a convincing victory. Here is a chance for revenge!

[rubah]

Go maria! auron!

sorry rydia, but I don't like ff4 to vote for you^_^;

[Cybele]

I voted for Rydia and Vincent. I don't want Auron to win this since I never liked him much. I figure Rydia may stand a chance against Vincent. Rydia's awesome! Go Rydia!

[TurkSlayer]

Now this just isn't fair! My two of my favorite characters (if not my very fav characters) are forced against each other!? What must do!?

Forgive me Auron... Vincent, take him down.

[SpiritWolf]

Maria and Auron although Maria is going to need all the help she can get it looks like

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

Rydia for the upset!

[Takara]

I'm only voting for Rydia since I don't like Vincent and I haven't played X.

[Levian]

Rydia and Vincent. Easy choice, really.

[XadamX]

Rydia/Vincent

[Ultima Shadow]

Rydia and Vincent. Easy choice, really.
