1) Did Ezio deserve to win?
Ezio is a pretty good winner, I was hoping for Beatrix or Kenshin since I really love them, but Ezio is cool too, this was an excellent top 10 IMO.
2) What was the biggest surprise/disappointment of this contest?
I supposed One Piece wouldn't do too well with CP9 being minor characters, so I will say Mortal Kombat. All of them performed far worse than I expected judging from their performance in the Ninja contest. Plus, this was Jade's time to make it into a contest, I was very disappointed with her not making the cut. Reptile too.
3) Are you happy with the rules and do you think no trading gives way to a more true winner, or would you prefer to have trading in this contest if it were up to you?
No, this contest runs fine without trading.
