Contest History
Win-Loss Record: 0-2

Summer 2008 Contest - Division 1 - Third Group
 * Division 1 Round 1 --- 3rd place, 30935 [22.65%] - Marth, 40275 [29.49%] - Duke Nukem, 35984 [26.35%] - Kefka, 29384 [21.51%]

With the release of Grand Theft Auto IV it was expected that Niko would make the contest. With the performance of GTA characters in the past not much was expected out of Niko, but given how weak this group and division was some people thought Niko had a chance at reaching the division final. Niko was able to defeat his most competitive opponent, but the surprise of Duke Nukem was able to take second place from him thus pushing him to an early exit.

Winter 2010 Contest - Varia Division - 8 Seed
 * Varia Round 1 --- Lost to (9) Jill Valentine, 24713 [32.79%] - 50656 [67.21%]
 * Extrapolated Strength --- 96th Place [18.68%]

Niko was able to return to the 2010 contest and while some people thought the match would be close nobody was picking Niko due to people expecting Niko to take a drop in strength compare to 2008. The expected deboost did happen and what resulted was a Resident Evil 5 fueled doubling at the hands of Jill Valentine. GTA never does well, but from the looks of it Tommy Vercetti may still end up being the strongest one.
