Also, MC is finished. Unless he starts stalling this very soon, even his after-school vote won't save him. --- Do you really need me to bring out the Ovaltine?-Stripey12isback on why hes a war hero. |

I'd imagine MORTAL KOMBAAAAAAAAAAT would get decent enough bracket support. --- "Those who cast the vote decide nothing. Those who count the vote decide everything." http://www.scorehero.com/scores.php?user=2916&diff=4 |

... Really? In terms of brackets, I'd say yeah. Certainly more of a favorite than Halo was against Castlevania or even perhaps Halo was against SC... --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

I guess MC was due -- I mean, both Halo and the Halo series have lost in the first round before to cause huge upsets... ...Man, I bet MC could have been an 8-seed against a 1-seeded Sub-Zero and I would still bet money MC was the overall favorite. --- Z1mZum performed a hit and run on me in the Guru Contest. It still hurts to be rear-ended like that..... |

And just like that, MC hits with the odd stall. o.O --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

In terms of brackets, I'd say yeah. Certainly more of a favorite than Halo was against Castlevania or even perhaps Halo was against SC... Well, as far as the BOP... Master Chief has 85 picks in this match to Sub-Zero's 5 picks. Halo had 67 picks to Starcraft's 35. --- "An intellectual is a man who takes more words than necessary to tell more than he knows." |

Oh, I thought board favorite as in like, MC was one of the board's favorite characters. --- Master Chief vs. Sub-Zero / Bracket: Sub-Zero / Vote: Sub-Zero (29/31) Tomorrow / Bracket: Samus / Vote: Samus |

Sero is taking off with then ight vote. If MC can't stall him within
the next hour this match is just over. In fact if he doesn't stall
soon, this could turn into a 55-45 affair before the day vote hits, and
that's not a feat that's possible to overcome, even for the chief. --- When D... I'd be able to finish this sig if Z1mZum didn't own me so hard in the guru contest. Congrats on your victory! |

This isn't THAT hard of a result to imagine if you consider that Master
Chief was weak to begin with and the new MK game just came out. Plus
its the night vote, and I don't think MC is very good with it. --- Can't think of a good sig. |

Psh I don't like Chief or Mortal Kombat, the only good thing about this
match is the competitiveness. And I'm perfectly fine with Auron
annihilating the winner. --- Should I start running now? |

Oh, I thought board favorite as in like, MC was one of the board's favorite characters. On Board 8? Unlikely. This board seems to mirror the odd anti-XBox sentiment that echoes throughout the rest of the site. --- This was Ed Bellis, servant to the mighty Guru Z1mZum. Congrats, buddy! |

Plus its the night vote, and I don't think MC is very good with it. Well, yeah, it's not a SHOCKING result by any stretch of the imagination. However, there were many that wanted to believe the Chief had strength to him thanks to his massive overperformance on Crono. And others that reasoned Sub-Zero would just be terribly weak. --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

On Board 8? Unlikely. This board seems to mirror the odd anti-XBox sentiment that echoes throughout the rest of the site. It's pretty obvious why IMO. All of board 8's favourite game companies/games/game series are japanese, and the xbox is primarily comprised of western made titles. --- When D...

The three charatcers that got rallied in by board 8 this year in hopes
of them being strong were sero, PoP and falcon right? Or am I missing
someone? --- When D... I'd be able to finish this sig if Z1mZum didn't own me so hard in the guru contest. Congrats on your victory! |

this isn't that big of an upset. people
on the board took it and it's a one point match. this is more like
Pac-Man/Ocelot than Knuckles/Magus. you guys are conditioned to call
Knuckles/Magus whenever a board upset occurs now and there just isn't
anything like it. --- xyzzy |

Rally for a Zelda character that isn't Tingle. Or nominate Barret... See, Zelda and FF7 are popular, so Board 8 would never rally for them. At any rate, I think this match is far from over.

My dear lord, have you people not learned to stop calling matches in the first 2 hours? Sero is just running away with it now though. I mean the chief has a powerful day vote, but this is getting way out of his reach. That's it. Nightmare & Raiden missed the cut! Looks like a successful rally then. Unless kirby is overrated to an insane degree, I think it's pretty safe to say that PoP is a mid carder, and Sero is proving himself right now by beating the chief. Sure, Falcon was dissapointing, but two out of three isn't bad, eh? --- When D... I'd be able to finish this sig if Z1mZum didn't own me so hard in the guru contest. Congrats on your victory! |

We'll see if SZ can keep this up once the 15 year old "h4rdc0r3" antivoters go to sleep. To me, Mortal Kombat is like South Park, as in it's only good for shock value and shouldn't be played/watched by anybody over the age of 10.
