Okay... assuming a constant MC, Sub-Zero ends up around 31.5 on BL, and
Auron ends up around 38.8% on BL. A 8% increase from last year, putting
him 50/50 with Crono. The numbers are pretty close to the exact figures, but they might be off slightly. --- Hooray Beer, Hooray Proxies! |

If I were to extrapolate through Master Chief I would just use the 25% value. He got around there in 2K3 according to Aeris, he went 50-50 with Frog, who is apparently around that general area according to Samus, and he beat Donkey Kong, who also generally lands in that area from year to year. Would put Sub-Zero at about 25.5 and Auron at just over 32. And poor Alucard at 23. The plan is working --- ertyu and VeghEsther are truly proof that there is much about this world we still do not understand. |

Looks like Auron's finishing this thing in the 59-61% range since FFX
characters tend to have very stable matches. Good show Shred-Zero! --- Chun-Li's Road to the Female Final Four: vs Yuna (November 2nd) *Go play Tales of the Abyss NOW!!* |

MyworldisSmurf Posted 10/29/2006 8:44:15 AM #432 MM is a series that has done nothing even remotely of note for 10 years. It's crazy that he's even in the noble 9.

Good show by Sero here (I refuse to refer to him as subby >_>).
Looks like he'll finish around 40.5% if this keeps up, unless Auron has
some sort of vote swing still to come for him (which is doubtful given
that this is a weekend). Speaking of pallette swaps... was sub zero in MK1? If not, he's probably the first clonish character that's stronger then who they've cloned. --- Currently listening to: A Twist in the Myth, Amputechture, Deus Ex Machinae, Black Wings of Destiny, Let Mortal Heroes Sing your Fame, and others. |

| Yes, he was in Mortal Kombat one. I don't really
think the two have a Ryu/Ken relationship because they're both pretty
equally prominent. I'd probably give the nod to Sub-Zero as being more
important to the story though. And Scorpion's character is based on
revenge for Sub-Zero's actions, so if it wasn't for Sub-Zero, Scorpion
wouldn't really exist. --- ertyu and VeghEsther are truly proof that there is much about this world we still do not understand. |

I got a question now: would anybody take any Street Fighter character
not named Ryu over Sub-Zero right now? I remember talk of SF characters
being able to SFF MK characters, and I'm curious to see how people feel
about Sub-Zero facing Ken or Akuma or somebody else from the SF series
now. --- http://wemajor12.myrockinprofile.com/ Next celebrity I hope to out-rank: Adam Sandler (#1) |

| Here's my theory on Master Chief and anti-votes,
or really any other character who gets anti-votes, and it helps explain
why he's so variable. The less popular the character MC faces, the better they are able to do with anti-votes. The more popular the character gets, the less votes they receive from anti-votes because there is a better and better chance that the voters would have voted against Chief anyway This means that while Chief performs better against stronger characters, it's not because of some voting bloc that stretches to fit his needs, but because his anti-votes are more diluted. --- Z1mZum totally owned me in the July 2006 Guru Contest The Funky Chickens in Trivia XVIII |

I thought we already agreed that anti-votes alongside a devoted fanbase
made MC overperform on stronger characters and underperform on weaker
characters a while ago. >_> Good to see other people agreeing though. --- Currently listening to: A Twist in the Myth, Amputechture, Deus Ex Machinae, Black Wings of Destiny, Let Mortal Heroes Sing your Fame, and others. |
| HoorayProxies | Posted 10/29/2006 11:00:37 AM | message detail |
| I agree with that... I think the higest x-stat
value MC can actually beat is 25-26% on BL, though it obviously
wouldn't be like that in all situations. If you're stronger than that,
you're taking him down, and the stronger you are, the better MC is
gonna look against you. --- Hooray Beer, Hooray Proxies! |

I have a hard time imagining many people going Sub > MC > Scorp, so I could see Scorpion winning that match You wouldn't think there'd be a noticeable amount of people who have Ryu > Samus > Ken or Ryu > Sonic > Ken, but there is. It would be the same here. I love Sub-Zero, but I am not an overly big Scorpion fan. --- Captain Jack Sparrow's Run to the NCAA Character Contest II Championship: Week 5: W, 35-15 vs. Darkwing Duck |

Nah, I'm with tranny on this one. The fanbases are too distinct I
think. After seeing Subby take out MC, if I had the chance to pick
Scorp/MC for a match the next day I would have taken Scorp no doubt. --- Hooray Beer, Hooray Proxies! |

I maintain that at least a good chunk of Subby's strength is from his
recent (big) releases. Hold this match last year and I can't see him
doing much better than 2% better than Scorps did. TuRtLe ~~~ 55/62 in the contest. My analysis topic here: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=30498383&page=1 |

I think you're bound by the x-stats way too much. Subby probably is
stronger than Scorp, but against MC I really don't see him turning that
around. --- Hooray Beer, Hooray Proxies! |

Accounting for possible bracket voting(Master Chief having more than
25,000 more brackets than Sub-Zero and still losing like that. If it
was 50-50 I could see Sub-Zero maybe even approaching 52%) I think it
would be a good match. I'd still take Chief though --- ertyu and VeghEsther are truly proof that there is much about this world we still do not understand. |

There's no "probably" to it though, only definitely -- again, Scorpion
got 35.15% against Auron pre-KH2 while Sub-Zero currently has an even
40% against a post-KH2 Auron. We've seen Sub-Zero dominate the MK-fave
poll with Scorpion, too, so I don't see why there's not a big enough
gap between Sub-Zero and Scorpion for MC to fall between, especially
since he barely lost to Sub-Zero. --- http://wemajor12.myrockinprofile.com/ Next celebrity I hope to out-rank: Adam Sandler (#1) |

mean he could also beat Donkey Kong. I didn't think MK was that popular. ...Since when did DK become a pillar of strength? Heck, when Scorpion was still in the contests, matches between them would have been very close each year. Nah, I'm with tranny on this one. The fanbases are too distinct I think. Well, you're already seeing a fair amount who have Sub-Zero > Auron > Scorpion (Hey, I'm one of 'em!), unless you think Scorpion could be pushing 40% now, too. The idea never worked for Ryu and Ken. I have no idea why people think it holds true for these two. --- Captain Jack Sparrow's Run to the NCAA Character Contest II Championship: Week 5: W, 35-15 vs. Darkwing Duck |

Add to it that KH2 did nothing for Auron (Oh snap!), and MK has just
had big releases, and that's plenty of reason for him to be doing
better here. That and 2K3 is just different from 2K6, it's 3 years
later, stuff changes. As for the favorites poll, they're notoriously
wrong. I'm not disputing whether or not Sub is strong than Scorp, I think he is, obviously not to the level you guys do, but regardless, that's not what I'm arguing, I'm arguing that Scorp would still beat MC regardless of x-stat placement. --- Hooray Beer, Hooray Proxies! |

As for the favorites poll, they're notoriously wrong. Well, the only other instance we have where one character has dominated it so handily was Auron in the FFX poll. I think it's safe to say he's the most popular from that one. And Sub-Zero's got it below 60% now!
