I'll be honest here. I stopped caring about and taking the GameFAQs character contest very seriously, mainly because the meme aspect has pretty much infected that. I mean, there's been nominations for the Pokémon called Bidoof (a beaver-like Pokémon considered so worthless and common that the player may end up having murderous rage towards them to the point they'll get arrested by Officer Jenny) that managed to get in the bracket and that the L-Block from Tetris won one of the contest.
Seriously, Yuri loses and I don't really care. Him winning it wouldn't mean anything nor it meant anything Tifa herself won it.
(Did I mention I heard when Gamespot did their equivalent of this last year, Bub and Bob from Bubble Bobble won against Master Chief from Halo because of a certain...place I will not say...directly? Yeah, the meme aspect I was talking about.)
Eh, whatever. Your call.
I see what you did there.
