The instantaneous updates started with Bowser/Leon, yo! But it's only for the first five minutes...or at least it was with that one. Maybe we'll get them the whole match with this new code. Kinda doubt it, though.

Nah, MC will win. Sub-Zero would need to be very decisive this late to actually win.

Just to say something, its likely if Sub Zero is anything like Scorpion that Subby doesn't have too shabby of a date vote.

I actually had Sub-Zero in this match for a while, but then changed it. I knew it would be close though. And I'm still happy that I changed it.

trannyscience | Posted 10/12/2006 9:08:18 PM | message detail
seeing as MK is "casual", I'd expect it to have a nice day vote just like Kratos. not as nice as MC mind you, but better than Frog or DK.

which brings me to another point - MC's day vote is overrated. his comebacks come against guys who are absolute crap in the day. if Sub builds this lead out, expect a repeat of Castlevania.

The release of MK: Armageddon was timed ridiculously well for Subby in this match. Really, conditions couldn't be better for him. This is like Mario/Cloud but to a smaller degree.

I know what MCs day vote is, but Im just saying. MK has a good day vote for itself and the fact a game was just released for it will bode well for that day vote.

Im saying if Subby starts building a DK lead, it might not be as easy for MC to come back from it.

It's a possibility.

Anyway, no matter what happens tonight I still see Master Chief winning this match, and probably by a decent margin.

It's not a real contest without Master Chief giving us a crazy match, after all.
