All jokes aside, Duke Nukem could
actually be a character capable of placing above the 40s in the Xsts if
Duke Nukem Forever would ever come out. But thanks to bad setback after
bad setback, Duke Nukem, his series, and the people who design his
games are all made out to be jokes. CJayC even used the Duke Milkem pic
from a Penny Arcade of three years ago,
three years ago,
during his match with Cloud in 2004. Duke Nukem has been MIA for quite
a long time, and his matches prove it. He may be increasing slightly in
strength each year, but his seeding is rapidly declining. His one and
only win is against a fighting character that few people have ever
heard of, and if Duke doesn't do something fast, he might be gone for
good.
.....
boy.

For one day, the Duke reclaimed some of his lost glory. He won his first match since 2002 in one of the tightest trios of the contest. He almost certainly benefited from being the only mainstream name in that match. That also proved to be his undoing in round 2, when he found himself in the same fourpack as Sonic the Hedgehog. This time, that mainstream identity couldn't save him, and he was obliterated. Only the Duke and Pikachu pulled off a first to worst performance in the contest. Truly elite company.
