Final Destination thoughts go!

I feel like Captain Falcon has the strongest initial post? I'm glad they finally used the 'Pikmin murder' gif. It was surprising to see Capt. voted out Squirtle near the end; it kind of feels like his victory depends on whether or not the jury thinks that was a terrible move. In his shoes I'd be tempted to stress that he and Squirtle more or less shared the same story, which would have made both their TC's weaker so he needed him out to shine more here, but his rationale that Squirtle was safe for the rest of the game is also compelling to me. 

It is utterly bonkers to me that anyone considers the Squirtle move remotely bad.

Like, If Squirtle survived that round he was guaranteed FD. Guaranteed. He wins out the shield bag for sure and his only remaining job would be doing whatever he could to get himself the best opponents he could. I do not believe for a second he would've fought particularly hard to save Captain Falcon, and was setting Cap up to be a F5/F4 target as much as he could.

Cap took the opportunity to oust him and give himself significantly more control over his own fate (that he squandered at F5 anyway how the fuck did CF v Kaz happen) and then was not voted at F4 anyway because

Those last 2 rounds were complete nonsense, but the F6 move was a near necessity for every player in the game.

I mean, Captain Falcon's rationale made sense to me for why he did it but it feels like half of the remaining players put it in a negative light, so I wondered if there was some element I was overlooking. On a re-read I'm realizing it's mostly Wario/Yoshi/Falco who think it was a silly plan, and 2/3rds of them are incentivized to paint it in a bad light. As for Falco, well, maybe they just want to hear Cap defend it more?

As far as questions go, I liked Robin's the best by far, I'll be remembering it if it's ever relevant to me.

Interesting to see all three of them think Yoshi doesn't win according to the FTC. r.i.p to him I guess. Interesting that Yoshi thinks Wario wins but Wario thinks Cap wins?

I love Squirtle and I wanted him to win, but it was so obvious that Squirtle was crushing the game. Everyone else needed to knock him out just like the final four needed to knock Captain Falcon out because he was a clear threat.

But I've found that most people are really stupid while playing the game and don't see things until they are done...I very much include myself in that statement.

All of those speeches are way too long.


I'll give it to cap for breaking his up the best. (Not that I've actually read any of it)

[Riki]

The contestant opening speeches were nothing compared to Squirtles semicoherent ramblings.

I think in their shoes I'd rather lose than try to make it to the end of that
