That means that SoT PoP is stronger than Niko! (most likely)

Yeah, I forgot that Roxas will have the KH ASV. He might be able to get up to 44-45% here.

Strong enough that it's no contest, yet not dominant enough to look impressive.

Sub-Zero's pretty reliable, at least.

So much for the Western boost!

The only Western characters that have actually looked relatively good so far are Price, Vault Boy, Shepard (which may change depending on his match with Pikachu), Big Daddy (may change with his match with Ness), and hilariously enough, Guybrush (relative to how horrible he usually is, of course, since he went from being quadrupled by Bowser to merely tripled by Vincent).

Because Scorpion got in first. I guarantee you if Sub-Zero was in the first contest, he'd have never missed one.

Oh, and he didn't get in 2005 because some people thought Kerrigan was a better NRT choice than Sub-Zero.

...Yeah.

It's basically the same reason why it took four contests for Vincent and Tifa to see these contests. If they were in the first contest instead of Aerith, they'd have never missed. Same with Mewtwo and Charizard. They'll never miss another contest now that they've gotten in and have done well.

Yeah, but I don't know why anyone would've expected Kerrigan to be stronger than Sub-Zero. Even back in 2005, I couldn't believe she beat him.

Which is why I still remember that to this day.
