Sub-Zero's Contest History

Who is Sub-Zero?
Sub-Zero is one of the most iconic characters in the Mortal Kombat series. Since his introduction in the first Mortal Kombat, Sub Zero is depicted as a blue garbed assassin of the Lin Kuei Clan. He resembles a ninja, but he is not a ninja. If you call him that, he'll freeze you, then punch into your neck and rip out your spine and skull. Anyways, Sub Zero is a fighter who possesses the ability to generate and control the power of ice, and uses this ability to defeat his enemies.

In fact, there are two "Sub Zero"s in the Mortal Kombat storyline, and they are brothers. The Elder Sub-Zero appeared in the first Mortal Kombat and then, after being killed by Scorpion, his younger brother replaced him for the rest of the games- his elder brother later became the undead Netherealm wraith, Noob Saibot.

Sub Zero is generally depicted as a a stern, distant and cold man who goes about his business silently, without attracting unwanted attention. As the games progressed, Sub Zero became a key protagonist aligned strictly to good. Through age and experience, Sub Zero became a man of integrity and self-discipline. He is currently the Grandmaster of the Lin Kuei Clan.

Sub-Zero's Contest History
Win-Loss Record: 3-2

Summer 2006 Contest - Time Division - 7 Seed
 * Time Round 1 --- Defeated (2) Master Chief, 63538 [50.95%] - 62932 [49.05%]
 * Time Semifinal --- Lost to (3) Auron, 54325 [40.37%] - 80252 [59.63%]
 * Extrapolated Strength --- 27th Place [30.53%]

Sub-Zero arguably made the biggest impact of any newcomer in the entire Summer 2006 Contest, and overturned a LONG-standing contest injustice in the process. The upset of Master Chief (after trailing early) and subsequent breaking of 40% against Auron was great, but more important was Sub-Zero *finally* getting his chance to prove that he's been stronger than Scorpion all along. All those years of Scorpion getting in above Sub-Zero, finally forgiven in two matches. One of the big what-ifs in contest history is what would have happened if Sub-Zero were in that fabled 8-pack with Scorpion in 2002.

We finally have our answer. Scorpion would have gotten his ass handed to him. I want to see this match one day.

Summer 2007 Contest - Division 8 - Fourth Group
 * Division 8 Round 1 --- 2nd place, 41521 [32.89%] - Sonic the Hedgehog, 50042 [39.64%] - Prince of Persia, 22690 [17.97%] - Viewtiful Joe, 11991 [9.50%]
 * Division 8 Round 2 --- 2nd place, 29931 [23.47%] - Sonic the Hedgehog, 56616 [44.39%] - Gordon Freeman, 24034 [18.84%] - Duke Nukem, 16961 [13.30%]
 * Division 8 Final --- 4th place, 24063 [16.87%] - Sonic the Hedgehog, 46083 [32.31%] - Squall Leonhart, 43950 [30.81%] - Sora, 28537 [20.01%]

Sub-Zero did well for himself considering that he was stuck with Sonic the entire time. He surprised a lot of people by how close he got to the Blue Blur in round 1, though he was quickly brought down to earth in round 2. Nevertheless, Subby proved that he's worthy of a contest slot year after year.
