I don't think we have a fair chance here.

Apparently, people have decided they want to support this RAAM guy because he was up against Sephiroth last round and they wanted to troll all the FF fans and now they're just rolling with it...so they're all using proxies and cheating and such to keep him ahead.

Shao Kahn is gonna lose to some gears queer.....

Keep voting guys. The vote is 50.1% to 49.9% in RAAM's favor.

We KNOW the RAAM guys are cheating, but that doesn't mean we can't employ some dirty tactics or rally the troops ourselves.

How is RAAM winning? He was the in the game for like 10 minuites and was the easiest boss to beat, how is he even close to Khan? Those MK haters and proxy vote cheaters!!

Yeah, that's the power. They exist simply to troll others and ruin people's happiness. What do you expect?

We all KNOW that a character that has an almost 15 year legacy as an iconic boss that destroyed millions of fighters, claimed thousands of souls, and cost players hundreds of quarters is a better character than some bland, generic villain from a modern shooter that had less than 10 minutes of screen time.

You have my support Kahn, fellow MK fans!

Kahn is behind!

The RAAM fans' influence is lessening though, it seems. A lot of MK fans are yelling for Kahn on those boards now.

Kahn is WINNING! Everyone vote so he doesn't lose!

Only about an hour left. VOTE! I want new MK news!

Let's go everyone! You can do it!
RAAM must DIE!

And RAAM is in the lead again.

Those proxy voters sure are persistent. I wonder if they have a way to tell who uses IP proxies? Kahn needs some votes, badly.

Going to GameFaqs to get some more voters. RAAM won't win

I fear he might, if only because of proxy voting. I waited two minutes, clicked refresh, and RAAM magically earned over 350 new votes in the span of 120 seconds.

I wonder if Gamespot cares enough about proxy votes and ballot stuffing to discredit those spammers. We'll see.

they prolly cant tell. i thought proxy voting was anonymous?

its not that hard to to.

but like i mentioned on twitter, maybe ed will show mercy bc of their cheating and show us somethin anyways.

over 700 votes for RAAM in less than 10 minutes. Kahn had a boost of about 250. I think both sides were using proxies... just some were doing it harder and longer than others. Shame; I'd have loved to see a legit score.

You'd think the people who voted for sephiroth and lost to RAAM would get in on this. Maybe someone should convince them to vote against Raam just to get back at him/them?

Someone go to a large Final Fantasy board and tell them what is going on. lol

Decided to check out the thing people were talking about, and, yep, they're voting for RAAM simply "To deny the MK fans their info" and "because it's hilarious this sh*tty character wins over the popular ones". *shakes head slowly*

Well... it's close, but not looking good

Maybe RAAM should be the boss of MK9?

I sent a message to Gamespot telling them about all the false votes RAAM is getting and this was their response:

"Dear GameSpot Member,

Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention.

Regards,

The GameSpot Staff"

We'll see what happens. There was false votes on both sides, I could tell. I wonder if they have a system that can figure out if people used proxies or not. Regardless, it should be down to the wire. I guess we'll find out soon.

I have to say whoever came up with the list of characters to put in the brackets is a idiot darth vader? give me a fucking break wario? who the fuck cares about wario. I think the greatest game villain is the last boss in mushihimesama

Damn, that boss is tough as Hell.
So when does the contest end?
