(8)Spring Breeze Dancin' vs (11)Zidane Tribal vs (20)Ridley 2013

Ulti's Analysis
I'd love to think Ridley could beat Zidane during a day match if Spring Breeze Dancin' were removed from the poll, but even if you gave ALL of... whatever the hell that thing's votes is to Ridley, he still loses. Ridley is one of my favorite characters ever, and it would be nice to see him pull out a win without having to rely on a gimmick like the Rivalry Rumble.

I'm also in the same boat with Zidane. He usually wins a match, but he's never been past round 2 and very much deserves to be. Final Fantasy 9 is such an amazing experience, an amazing throwback to the Final Fantasy series itself, and you can just feel how much fun the team had when making the game. Games now are too serious, you'll never see a company make fun of themselves and tribute themselves in the way Final Fantasy 9 does.

I always like matches where I like more than one character for emotional hedge purposes, but it does suck when looking at the contest history and realizing a deep run may never happen. But with that said, Vivi took on the role of "Final Fantasy Underdog" and really fought for old Squareheads like me. But we'll get to that later.
