Noob gets my vote. I really hope the final battle comes down to a clash between brothers. That would be amazing.

Noob is winning? How lame.
Go Ermac!! Noob is just little newbie!!

Ok so if Noob wins then it doesn't matter because a SubZero will win regardless.
STUPID!

GO ERMAC GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is going to be supremely anti-climatic if noob wins this round and is up against sub-zero. Please pull through Ermac!

This became anti-climatic a loooong time ago...

Would've been better if they put Sub-Zero and Scorpion together for round one to make things interesting. Like hey, if you're going to make a tournament, you may as well start off big.

Still rooting for Ermac!

Yeah Noob ! My favorite two characters in the final= awesome

When did this happen???

Ugh, come onnn. Seriously... >:c Oh well, I guess I expected this but there's still a day left...

I knew from the beginning it would either come down to Sub-Zero and Scorpion or Noob. When you space them so far apart on each end of the roster and put them up against weak characters (Sub-Zero vs Daegon, Frost... Come on?) you knew it was planned from the beginning..

But I guess people would have been up in arms way sooner if it came down to Sub-Zero and Scorpion

I voted for Ermac. I'm not that in to either of these characters (they're alright, I just like a lot of other characters more) but of these two, I like Ermac more.

As for Scorpion, I think that he needs more to do, not necessarily plot-wise (though that wouldn't hurt either), but theme-wise. Yes, vengeance is his thing, but he needs more, I think. It's time for his character to evolve a bit.

I don't think that makes him an idiot though. I think he's just blinded by rage and grief over the loss of his family and clan, and I don't think that's been depicted very well throughout the series becuase he keeps getting manipulated.

To me, this is why he comes off like an angry, raging moron at times, but I think that there could be a lot of depth there if NRS would just give him an emotional range that would and should go with someone losing literally everything that meant anything to them.

Maybe this is why he frustrates people? Scorpion is the creator's pet, yet he's still just not quite there yet in all aspects as a character.

I like him, and I still see his potential, but I do think that he has some noteable flaws that I hope NRS fixes in the future, becuase he does have legitimate main character potential that goes far beyond just shoving the recognizeable name down people's throats or being a series icon or whatever.

Exactly.And thank you for naming your criticisms in a mature manner.Yeah nrs needs to show more emotional range,like his(and sub's) MK Legacy episodes.Those are the best representations of him so far.Even though he wasn't the ninja spectre.

I voted for Noob because he's the first Sub-Zero that I came to enjoy using more then anyone else.... well.. and because he comes back as Noob Siabot!(Which is fucking AWESOME) and I love his backround theme too. just sayin

You know, with all the anti- Sub-Zero 'winning the tournament' circling the forums, I imagine that the winner of this matchup will put up at least a bit of a fight.

Still rooting for Ermac. I adore him. My love for him is ridiculous considering he's a fictional character.

And if he wasn't, he'd probably try to kill me if I touched him. Or rip my arms off.

Oh well. :P

Voted for Big Mac

Agreed. Nice job mko.

I still wish the matchups were randomized.

The fact that all the matchups were preselected kinda took away some of the fun, and setting them up to create certain outcomes made it worse.

Damn two of my most favorite characters up against one another. I think i like Noob's overall story the best and have always loved the twist where he turns out to be the original Sub Zero, but Ermac has always just been my favorite character. And from what i gather from the above posts he seems to be losing so I'll give him a vote. EDIT: Oh fuck me, Ermac is in the lead. Oh well.

I agree. I see why they did it, some characters just don't have a chance against others and they were trying to make it as interesting as possible but it still ended up being mostly predictable.

If another one happens they should just make it random.

Agreed. I think the only even match of Round 1 was Ermac vs Reptile. They pitted a lot of less popular characters against more popular ones.

I believe it was 'semi-randomized'. Seriously, though, it seemed pretty set up to be a Scorpion vs Sub-Zero, although it appears that it may end up being Ermac vs Sub-Zero, which was probably TOTALLY unexpected. I honestly thought he'd be out by Round 3.

Oh well, I still think it was pretty entertaining. I really would have liked to see Rain, Nightwolf, Ashrah, and Skarlet get further than they did, but, you know. I was really surprised at Nightwolf getting out round 1, j/s.

Another one would be fun, but randomized completely.

This battle has gotta be over by now... It's 330am where I am and Ermac is in the lead. I REALLY hope the voting doesn't get prolonged just so Noob can gain an edge now that he has already lost..

Yay, Ermac won over Noob! Now it is time for him to win over Subbie and take this tournament. I vote for Ermac again!

Hooray! Go ermac! Win or lose ermac did amazing.

Voted Ermac, but won't be mad if -0 wins this.

Disregarding the end of the poll, you gotta agree -0 has been destroying his opponents easily.

Ermac won? Ugh. I wanted my Kuai Liang vs Bi-Han matchup (with Bi-Han winning of course).

Oh well, much as it pains me I'm voting for Sue-Zero. Kuai Liang's character actually was pretty cool (for the first time ever) in MK9, and I don't really see the appeal in Ermac.

So go ahead Sue, break him first.
