(1)Squall Leonhart vs. Seifer Almasy vs (8)Laharl vs. Mid-Boss 2011

Ulti's Analysis
Seifer finally making a contest was so nice, as a 1 seed to boot, even if it did take a contest specifically made for him to get in to do it. Seifer is a great character, the rivalry with Squall rocks and FF8 really is a good game. I love the Disgaea pairing here too, so for me personally this match was cool. Terrible match pic for the FF8 side, but you can't win 'em all.

From a contest perspective, Squallfer needed to do a lot better here. We didn't totally know it at the time since no one was really paying attention to the contest at this point (plus we all assumed Squallfer's path was set in stone), but this was a good WARNING SALVO for how screwed Squall almost was against Sora and Riku. Laharl is not strong at all, but Squall couldn't even triple him. Bad.
