So can we stop saying it's rigged? It's ridiculous.

Apparently, this means the whole world to some people on here. I don't think they'll ever let it go. Thus why I'm asking people to literally claim it's my fault because I'm the conspiracy behind a lot of stuff here.

This is easily the best matchup yet. Its amazing to see passion being let out for two somewhat underdogs. People tend to get childish over simple things but its almost like your pride is at stake when voting for whoever you vote for. Oddly i wasnt the biggest jade fan or cage fan but after this round they definately earned my respect. Especially jade. Her fans really flushed her role in the story out for me that i didnt see before. She is very important to the mk legend. As is cage. But sadly most of his defense by his fans involved caging someone and nutpunching. Almost seems like cage and jade have generational gapped fanbases. Maybe not but kinda looks like it to me.


Anyhow i dont think this was rigged whatsoever. It would be like wearing jeans to a beach on a hot day. Mindnumbingly pointless and stupid.

Jade you had a great run. In a perfect world she should advance as she technically won at deadline time. But regardless of who ends up taking it at the end of the day scorpion lost. Mwahahahahaha. Maybe next round icebaby wont create conspiracies or rig the voting. You damn cheater you. ^_^

I took the opportunity to make sure there was some big, ginormous conspiracy just for this particular round. I promise for next round, it'd be much fairer for Raiden, I mean Kabal to win.

Because we all know that any guy who has the tendency to make Sub-Zero a fucking cyborg and allow Kung Lao to just get his neck snapped obviously doesn't have the right to obtain a closer shot at being a supreme champion.

Yet again, guys with melted skin, breathing problems, and obtain Flash-like powers in Outworld always have earned a special place in my heart.

But the conspiracy-like cheating abilities I possess might cause me to make the rounds go for longer periods of time as soon as we reach, what appears to be, the deadline.

I'm still not seeing how this is rigged... What would be the main purpose of rigging it? To make Sub-Zero win? Okay?

Still don't see a specific purpose for rigging this. Not to mention, it's just a game.


Everyone knows the tournament isn't rigged, the people who genuinely say it is are just pissed that their faves aren't winning.

The only real fault is the tournament's design of matching certain characters together to increase the probability of certain outcomes. In simpler terms, so only certain characters would win.

I don't think you can call that rigged, but rather predetermined.

Neverthless, due to this design, I spent the first two rounds knowing who all would win, and that took away a lot of the fun. It would have been much better if the match ups were randomized.

Cage, congratulations, you apparently win, something you didn't hear at the Oscars. I guess the original Shadow Kick takes the cake. Now just wait until you face Kung Lao, I'm afraid you'll face very much trauma and bloodshed, among death.

I haven't decided who's going to win the next round, but when I do, the whole world will know. How will they know? Well, the character that I want to win will win.

But wait, Jade is losing right now, and I wanted her to win, right? Hmm. I haven't quite figured out why I did that, but when I do... look out!

In all seriousness, this isn't rigged. It's supposed to be a fun little diversion for MK fans. There's no end game. No one gets anything out of it beyond the pleasure of stating their opinion and maybe debating the merits of their favorite characters with others that enjoy this series. That's it. End of story. Case closed.

So to sum up: A vote for Jade is a vote for awesome great things that are great and super cool. A vote for Cage is a vote for pants pooping, long Mondays and mean cats that don't use the litter box like they should.

Don't let the mean cats win.

Conflicted souls collide as Round 3 kontinues! A survivor of Shao Kahn's extermination squads, Kabal of the Black Dragon is sustained only by a hi-tech artificial respirator. Walking a line of good and evil, he is among the warriors chosen by Raiden to defend an Earthrealm besieged. As conflicts escalate to the point of Armageddon, Raiden himself becomes an increasingly conflicted figure. Forced into an act of desparation to defeat the returned Dragon King, the protectoral god is tainted upon reforming on the eve of the end. In this battle of Man v God, only one can survive!

Kabal.


Raiden lost all the respect I had for him when he constantly made a number of stupid decisions that everyone else had to pay for. Kabal was a straight up badass but had to go through hell the entire time. Poor guy can never catch a break.

I feel as if I was the last to vote which means I could have made Jade won. Too bad, so sad. As for this round. Raiden sucks. Going with Cable.

Flipped a coin, landed heads, Kabal.

I'm pretty partial to both of them. They're just okay in my book. Wouldn't mind if either passed.

I'm not voting on this one.
Raiden was portrayed as an idiot for the last few games, even making alliances and arguably changing sides. Kabal, on the other hand, changed sides in Deception, and now he went the extreme and became an actual cop, against the criminal organization he was part of, making his flip-flopping from MK3 to Armageddon that much more confusing.
I don't like the directions either of them have taken, and I'd rather neither of them proceed, but obviously, since one's a Highlander, THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE!

Voted Raiden, but I stopped caring. The poll over for me. Jade lost and that is just what I wanted. Would be more happy if Kitana lost too, but Sonya better win.

Daamn my plans for a campaign to make Jade win this thing have been ruined! If Jade won it would be obvious this tournament is rigged...now that Cage won it is even more obvious!! Lol :P
Ok seriously now, my vote goes to Kabal this time. I always loved his look but in this game he is just so full of awesomeness! Raiden...dunno i feel he lost his spark (pun intended). I reeaally want him to sit out on the next game so that Fujin gets his chance to shine.

Poor Jade, a victim of overtime. It was cool to see her having more votes than Cage alot of the time, totally unexpected. I see that as a personal victory. ^^

Anyways, on to the next vote-off.
I voted Kabal.

Both Raiden and Kabal have always been kinda cool characters, but I never cared that much about either of them and I still don't. I acknowledge their part of the game, but I haven never and still aren't that interested in either of them.


Kabal is a tad cooler than Raiden though, imo. He is unique in a game full of palette swaps, he's got cool weapons, a quite nice and original look, and his moves are fun and odd, but the good kind of odd. The only thing that looks absolutely ridiculous is his hair. Pigtails? Really?
