(1)Mega Man X vs. Zero vs (2)Sub-Zero vs. Scorpion 2011

Ulti's Analysis
This match ending up so close hit everyone out of no where, even though the ninjas never threatened to actually win. It was one of those "close in percentage only matches", though it was a real eye-opener.

It doesn't really mean X and Zero were weak, either. The ninjas were just totally nuts this contest, and it's a damn crime we didn't get to see Ryu/Ken vs Sub-Zero/Scorpion. Yeah Street Fighter probably wins, but it could have been a really close match.

As for why most people didn't expect this to be close, we've kind of seen this match already: http://board8.wikia.com/wiki/(7)Zero_vs_(10)Scorpion_2003

Yeah it's an old match, but still. Ninjas got a RIVALRY BOOST this contest, and for whatever reason the casuals were down on the 1 seed in this division. Look at that trash prediction percentage.
