Nah, DK is noticeably lower in 2004, compared to 2003. Either way, all
I'm saying is that I just can't buy MC or DK being anywhere near as
high as 2005 indicates, and if they're not, Sub-Zero's got a chance.

So, who else will be voting for Subby? =D Now that my breacket is sunk, I'm jumping at every upset I see, hoping at least some of them happen. Luigi scored one; who else? --- face it cjay i have the high ground i have powend you - ertyu |

DK is at 23.5% in 2K4 using unadjusted Seph...if you adjust Sephiroth
up to his 2K3/2K5 level, DK goes up to his 2K3 level (25%). --- Sign the Petition for more stats in the GameFAQs Contests here: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=7&topic=30693799 |

But I just realized that Moltar was probably referring to Vivi, who is oddly around the same area in both 2004 and 2005. --- Captain Jack Sparrow's Run to the NCAA Character Contest II Championship: Week 3: W, 50-12 vs. Superman |

And even after Halo 2, XBox hasn't become THAT much more popular around here Ownership increased by almost 5% after staying steady for around a year. That's a lot for just one game. --- Z1mZum totally owned me in the July 2006 Guru Contest The Funky Chickens in Trivia XVIII |

Vivi probably dropped a lil' in 2k5...while I don't think he got SFFed
by Sephy, it's all but universally accepted Seph got SFFed by Cloud (or
is at least 'underrated'). Still, there's no way Donkey Kong turns that
beating around into one just as bad in the span of a year. CATS has already gone some way toward exposing the Chief (yet again). People who are clinging to that 2k5 value are being a bit delusional... --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

What about 3% lower than his 30.87% value? I don't think that's
delusional, since MC boosted from Halo 2 after beating a Frog worth 25%
on BL. --- Sign the Petition for more stats in the GameFAQs Contests here: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=7&topic=30693799 |

26-27% is where I see the Chief...28% is pushing it for me. Though with any of those values Sub-Zero conceivably has a chance. --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

I see Sub as worth about 25%, MC about 26. 1% is easily overcome. add
in a random spike for Sub thanks to Armageddon and I think he's got a
great chance. if you believe MC's up in the high 20's then I can understand why you wouldn't give Sub a chance. but I don't think that at all. --- xyzzy "12 percent of those who liked opera had experimented with magic mushrooms." - Reuters |

I'd put MC around 27%, but I'd never put Subby at 25%, he may end up
that close to MC anyway though, just because how MC operates. --- Portugal. The Man Cheer Up Emo Kids |

...What's wrong with Sub-Zero at 25% on BL? Scorpion in 2003 was 24.74%
on BL. And it's not like it puts him up against competition he can't
possibly beat. --- Captain Jack Sparrow's Run to the NCAA Character Contest II Championship: Week 3: W, 50-12 vs. Superman |

Scorpion was arguably at or around 25% for three years running. Why wouldn't Sub-Zero be there? --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

Personally, I'd put MC around 28-29%. Sure, he's quite possibly
overrated in 2k5, but Halo 2 should at least give as big of a boost as
RE4 PS2 or DMC3SE. --- Pity for the guilty is treason to the innocent. |

Because I only expect MK to go down since then, it's not like he
couldn't be there, but I just don't see it happening. If Sub wins, he
does so on MC's weakness, not his strength. --- Portugal. The Man Cheer Up Emo Kids |

Sure, Scorpion may not be there anymore, but I don't think he's far
off. Factor in Sub-Zero > Scorpion, and him being 25% isn't
unrealistic. --- Captain Jack Sparrow's Run to the NCAA Character Contest II Championship: Week 3: W, 50-12 vs. Superman |

Why would MK be dropping since 2k3? It's not like it was at a peak of popularity in that year. MK had probably ALREADY
seen most of it's decrease in popularity by then. Since then we've had
Deception and Shaolin Monks, which were actually well received, and
we've got Armageddon on the horizon. Nothing THAT major, but I don't
see MK continually dropping from where it was in 2k3... --- Currently playing: Grand Theft Auto 3, Castlevania:Curse of Darkness, Mega Man ZX |

the only argument I see for MK dropping is that Ryu's been apparently
dropping and Soul Calibur went from 49% on KH to 30% on MG. it could
follow that MK is the same way. but MK's been putting games out by the truckload, so it's not like the series is dead or anything. --- xyzzy "12 percent of those who liked opera had experimented with magic mushrooms." - Reuters |

wait a second, what's this? Ken Masters (2003c) VS Scorpion (2003c) Ken Masters has a strength of 21.71. Scorpion has a strength of 24.74. Scorpion wins with 56.12% of the vote!

Aside from Scorpion in 2k2, MK really doesn't have a fanbase here.
Besides, all the guys he beat in 2k2 were losers. (some fighting guy,
Max Payne, Pac-Man...and I'd take Pac-Man in a rematch). Master Chief won't be in trouble, but I bet anti-voting helps Sub-Zero do reasonably.

An XBox game being worth as much as big PS2 games that this site cares about? I'll give that one a "meh." As I mentioned earlier, it's a boost relative to his old self. Compare Halo 2 to Halo 1, and compare DMC3SE to DMC3/DMC2/DMC1. One would certainly expect a bigger increase, on a relative scale, for MC, much as HL2 managed to boost Gordon Freeman by more that TP will likely manage to boost Link. --- Pity for the guilty is treason to the innocent. |

it could follow that MK is the same way. The jury's still out on Ryu... I don't see why he would suddenly drop in popularity now. Soul Calibur was behind Starcraft, and the games contest was also right after the Soul Calibur 2 hype, so it probably was a bit stronger then, since the series temporarily drew in a non-traditional fighting game fanbase (i.e. Gamecube) that probably have since left the series by the wayside. I certainly don't think that fighting games are suddenly losing popularity or anything, if that's where you are pointing at. --- Currently playing: Grand Theft Auto 3, Castlevania:Curse of Darkness, Mega Man ZX |

Sub and Scorps have a Ryu/Ken relationship going on, it just happens to be on more even footing...Sub-Zero's the one that's been in every MK and has had his own game though, so the advantage is clearly toward him. --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

Duh? That's not the point. The point is that Sub-Zero is not the main character, so he doesn't get that benefit, while Ryu does. That's one of the reasons why Ryu is much more popular than Ken... but it certainly isn't the reason. It still does nothing to disprove that Sub-Zero isn't more popular than Scorpion. The MK duo have much more of a difference than Ryu and Ken, and many reasons to have different fans. --- Currently playing: Grand Theft Auto 3, Castlevania:Curse of Darkness, Mega Man ZX |
