nice gain for Sub Zero....... Master Chief is looking very bad..... Something to think about: If Ganon and Master Chief has switched bracket positions, how badly would Vincent have blown MC out, and how badly would Ganon be crushing S-0? |

I'm out. Hopefully I wake up to an MC that's chipping at whatever lead

I mean, I got Carmen in, despite her completely bombing =( No offense, but I give all credit to therealmnm for getting her in due to him making such a big deal about her being eligible this past off-season (in a good way!). Without that, nobody would have rallied for her. --- Z1mZum performed a hit and run on me in the Guru Contest. It still hurts to be rear-ended like that..... |

Actually I shouldn't say MC has magical jobber powers...more like
magical "People have been screwed over by Master Chief and every time
they say they won't pick him again, yet they still pick him because
he's facing someone whose strength they don't trust and he lets them
down again" powers. Halo is working on 1-4 in close matches, yo! And the win is by an even bigger choke artist than the Chief... Er, I guess I should count MC/Felix as close, so he's 2-4. Still, in each he's held a big seeding advantage and enjoyed huge bracket support and still managed to lose most of the time. --- Mustache...and green... http://www.rit.edu/~zmb0386/Top100.pdf |

As far as this contest goes, I believe that only two other matches
hit the 15k mark by 1:30 AM: Ganondorf/Vincent and Tifa/Ivy. This match
should land in the mid-to-high 120's, which is pretty solid. Oh, okay. I just had CV/Halo open for comparison purposes and noticed that the votals were pretty close. I probably should have checked up on it a bit more. --- Mustache...and green... http://www.rit.edu/~zmb0386/Top100.pdf |

MC just got a bigger weapon with that update.

Why are we writing Master Chief off now? I really don't get it. You'd
think after enough of his matches you people would stop doing this... Master Chief isn't Halo! (He chips the lead to shut you up!) --- MASTER CHIEF IS INVINCIBLE! *waves M$ Flag* |

If Sub-Zero pulls this off, this would make a pretty good Round 1
overall, and it would likely make it the 3rd most difficult to contest
to be perfect at Round 1's end. But, you know, now that it looks ever apparent that DK barely benefited from The Boost (lol me), I'm more worried about Princess Peach's chances next round, since I think DK is aways above Peach. Oh, if Kairi gets a surprise 45% on Rikku or something, I think Peach would -really- be in trouble. --- Sign the Petition for more stats in the GameFAQs Contests here: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=7&topic=30693799 |

No offense, but I give all credit to therealmnm for getting her in
due to him making such a big deal about her being eligible this past
off-season (in a good way!). Without that, nobody would have rallied
for her. This must've been in the stats topics, which I don't visit. I started the rally because I remembered that last year, after ertyu drew the pictures that I swore I'd get Carmen into the next contest. I didn't even know mnm was going to make a rally until he posted in mine. TuRtLe ~~~ I used my brain and statistics to make my bracket. Karma Hunter used MGS fanboyism. KH won. Commit it to memory. |

mnm rallied a good deal around the board, and got Carmen to do decently

him the credit if only for recognizing that she was eligible in the
first place. --- *kills self* Commit it to memory. |

But I recognized she was eligible back when erts made his Alice

shows" was a startling revelation that mnm realized days before the
match >_< TuRtLe ~~~ I used my brain and statistics to make my bracket. Karma Hunter used MGS fanboyism. KH won. Commit it to memory. |

I can't beleive he's doing it. This is great. I have no love for MK
these days, but Subby is still way cooler than MC... and the fact that
he is proving he's WAY stronger than Scorpion could dream of being is
just icing. Really, I'll never understand why Ceej went with Scoprion
in the first place. --- If B8 were any more like the WWE I'd be getting paid for this message. If you mark someone for flaming/trolling, you probably deserved it. |

Raiden would lose handily. Sub and Scorp are the only ones with a chance against MC. (yeah, I think Scorpion would be performing about as well here. not much of a difference between the two.) --- xyzzy |

And Scorpion made those contests on the same principle that Aeris made

But there were in 2k3 and 2k4 And there's probably a reason that Aerith was in both and Tifa/Vincent in neither. That same reason, past performance/recognition, applies for Scorpion and Sub-Zero. --- Mustache...and green... http://www.rit.edu/~zmb0386/Top100.pdf |

I always thought of Scorpion as bigger rep of the MK series, but that's
probably because I mostly only played the first MK (Sub-Zero wasn't in
that one, I don' think). Perhaps the fact that Scorp was in the first
MK was the reason CJayC placed him in the SC2K2 bracket, and it was a
similar reason for giving Kazuya a spot, but not Jin. --- Sign the Petition for more stats in the GameFAQs Contests here: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=7&topic=30693799 |

Because anti-votes aren't a reliable thing. Check the MC/DK updates and you'll see DK was pulling the same thing. That's a pretty good point.

Sub-Zero was in the first Mortal Kombat... And there's simply no excuse for giving Kazuya the nod over Jin.
