PostContestUlti 12/06/20 3:16:10 AM #69:	Division 7 Round 1: Kain Highwind, Master Chief, Professor Layton, and Raiden Kain - 34477 [25.42%] Master Chief - 49936 [36.82%] Layton - 12744 [9.4%] Raiden - 38447 [28.35%] Total Votes - 135604 This was another ludicrously easy-to-predict round one match of this contest. Master Chief > Raiden was always going to be how this went, because Layton was guaranteed gutter trash and Kain wasn't far behind. Final Fantasy characters pre-6 are nothing to write home about in contests, and we had already seen Cecil before. He didn't do much. What floored people in this match however was Master Chief seemingly returning to form. In 2007, Chief was 3500 votes away from making the final, and that happened in a match with L-Block and Solid Snake in it. Chief 2007 was one of the best contest runs we've ever seen in these things, and believe it or not, there was a time when GameFAQs truly loved the Halo franchise. You're looking at it -- the mid-2000s. So when this match happened and Master Chief seemed to return to pre-2007 levels, alarm bells went off. A lot of people picked the Chief to make a <i>deep</i> contest run this year, and it was pretty apparent right from the jump that this wasn't going to happen. It doesn't take away from his 2007 run or anything, but it would have been fun to see him tear through a contest again, as it's always neat to have new challengers to the throne arise and actually stay in contention. On a personal side note, it's nice to see Raiden finally get a definitive contest win. I still remember to this day how he choked away 1200 votes against Sam Fisher in 2007 and almost lost that match. This time around, largely thanks to Metal Gear Solid 4, there would be no doubt about it. Raiden got a <i>solid</i> second place in this match, which meant all four MGS entries in this contest thusfar (Raiden, Snake, Big Boss, Liquid) all looked good in round 1, and if Ocelot wasn't a gigantic moron we would have had a perfect 5 for 5. MGS came a long way from the Solid Shit days to now. Brawl and MGS4 releasing at basically the same time did a ton of good for that franchise. It's a shame it didn't keep up over the years. --- https://board8.fandom.com/wiki/Main_Page <cite>PostContestUlti posted [p:947973696] in ~*Ultimate...
