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. Have you like, not seen south park since season two? It uses more then just gross out humour now and has for a while. --- 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! |

Sub-Zero should push past 54% and have a 2,500-3,000 vote lead before
morning. Master Chief could come back from that, but I don't think it's
likely. I liked that Master Moltar analysis for this match, that was good. More people should do that. Who doesn't like niche-community in-jokes? --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

Pfffffft, this ain't over until Subby has a 6500 vote lead. Is that a joke? No character that falls behind by 6,000 votes is going to be able to create a swing large enough to cause a comeback.

The fact that every Nomination Rally winner is at least going to be
cracking the fodder line makes me very, very happy. And Raiden would
have had a damn good shot at crossing it, too (unfortunately, Nightmare
would have probably been the stinker...although looking at Ivy, maybe not). --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

Remember, it's a school day, so unlike with the Series contest, MC's
still gotta wait about 13 hours for his day vote to come in. 13 hours
for Subby to continue at this rate looks pretty good. --- ~*Ex~Tha*~ Sometimes it's darkest just before dawn. |

| I haven't watched South Park since I was 10, save
catching parts of some episodes, and it doesn't seem any "smarter" than
it did when they based a Christmas episode on a talking turd. Same thing with Mortal Kombat, it was fun when it was "OMG VIOLENCE = BAD!!!!!!!!!11111111111". I recently went back and played the original 3 MK games, and never realized how absolutely lame they were. At any rate, MC choking is no shocker. I wouldn't be surprised if he somehow manages to break 53% in the new largest vote swing ever either. TuRtLe ~~~ I used my brain and statistics to make my bracket. Karma Hunter used MGS fanboyism.

I'm surprised by all the Sub-Zero/Mortal Kombat hate I'm seeing. Mortal Kombat is awesome. No, it really isn't. It's clunky overrated fighter, that's about as fun as watching paint dry. Unless it significantly improved as a series since the ones on snes and n64, I can't see the new games being worthwhile. --- When D...

An hour into its match with Halo, Castlevania had a lead of 774. An hour into his match with the Chief, Subby leads by 693. I think I'll stop doing this now, since the match has become obvious. Sub-Zero is on track for an insurmountable lead by morning, so even if MC takes the day this is done. --- Mustache...and green... http://www.rit.edu/~zmb0386/Top100.pdf |

The MK series is extremely overrated. It was never a great fighter, it
was loved for its graphics and voilence. The fact that it was even
compared in the same sentence as Street Fighter was and still is
laughable --- Current Content Score: 30/31 My Collection: http://club.ign.com/b/list/custom?lid=100018&owner=Dark115.&mode=vown |

It does look pretty good for Sub-Zero right now. The only thing I'm
struggling with is the idea of Sub-Zero being comfortably ahead of
Donkey Kong. Yes, the ape has never been anything special in these

still gotta wait about 13 hours for his day vote to come in. 13 hours
for Subby to continue at this rate looks pretty good. Yup. Had this taken place on a weekend, I think MC comes back. But this is looking really bad. MC's day vote window can only carry so much +vote capacity. I will say, that he probably gains very slowly, or at least 50/50s with Subby during school hours. So the key is for MC to stop the bleeding and get a gauze pad quick. --- wavedash Ozzie's in a pickle! |

I am loving the people who say MK is only liked for the violence.
that's like saying GTA is only liked because you can run people over. ...okay, maybe that's a bad comparison. but people do indeed like MK for more than violance, folks! --- xyzzy |

Where was all this Mortal Kombat love in the series contest? It
could've replaced that sad joke that was Shadow Hearts. I doubt it
would've done much with Resident Evil but I would've loved seeing SF
and MK throw down once and for all. So throw Elder Scrolls or whatever
to someone else. --- Should I start running now? |

I'm hoping for a Master Chief dayback, followed by a Sub-Zero nightback. I liked Street Fighter better than Mortal Kombat. Didn't think Mortal Kombat's gameplay was that good. Playing with the ninja palette swaps was the only time it was really enjoyable. I liked to play as Noob Saibot and Sub-Zero. Johnny Cage was cool. South Park has been hit or miss for a few years now. Mostly miss IMO. Intermittent gems surrounded by unremarkable stuff. --- www.gamefaqscontests.com www.gamefaqscontests.com/gallery |

Where was all this Mortal Kombat love in the series contest? It's called "Board 8 controls nominations for the most part".

I think Master Chief will most likely do little more than split the day vote with Sub-Zero, stalling the vote lead mostly. It's called "Board 8 controls nominations for the most part".

Sub-Zero is on track for an insurmountable lead by morning, so even if MC takes the day this is done. It definitely isn't done until it is. Master Chief is not the same as Halo, in the same way Samus is not the same as Metroid. Is Master Chief really going to lose to Kerrigan? Games =/= Series =/= Characters. --- Revenge is a dish best served by Z1mZum in the 2k6 Series Guru Contest. |

Whaaaa fest? You don't think if MC was winning right now you'd have an
equal amount of people whining about "lame mainstream FPS games" and
"depthless main characters"? That's what's kind of funny about this match, because any argument you use to support one is applicable to the other. TuRtLe ~~~ I used my brain and statistics to make my bracket. Karma Hunter used MGS fanboyism. KH won. Commit it to memory. |

I don't care about Objection!, there's no way I see PW pull that 4 seed without the board's heavy influence. And the omission of certain things is just as bad. Halo as a six seed in the Series Contest? Sure, it might have been what it deserved, but that wasn't the typical Halo nomination strength. --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

Getting the low seeds into the contest is
in the board's power, though. Soma, the Prince, Falcon, Subby, and
Nidoran F are here because of Board 8, I'd wager, and they shut out DK,
Knux, Magus, Ness, Kefka, and Vercetti, none of which are lightweights
with casual nominations. This is even more true in the series contest, because there was no front page nominating. --- Mustache...and green... http://www.rit.edu/~zmb0386/Top100.pdf |
