As good as HK-47's game may be, he had
too many things working against him to truly light up the contest
scene. One, he was a brand new character not from Square or Nintendo.
Two, he is an Xbox character. This doesn't necessarily work against him
in the traditional Xbox sense, but an Xbox RPG will likely never
generate the support necessary to compete with RPG characters on other
systems. However, this all happened while HK only had one game under
his belt. The Sith Lords may not give him all that big a boost, but it
may be enough for him to actually win a match.

HK-47 was placed in one of the more uncertain positions of the contest. Zero was the obvious winner of his fourpack, but the other three were thought to have legitimate shots at second place. This proved to be true as HK-47 had a tight race for second with Lloyd and Jak. He managed to do just enough to keep Lloyd at bay and advanced to the second round. He proved to be far too outmatched there even to contend for third place. He finished in last place, far behind even Raiden. It was a disappointing end, but his fans now have the satisfaction of knowing he got to the second round just once.
