He made a cameo appearance. As an evil minion, no less.

Sheamus, the other great white meat.

I tweaked the bottom half of the list a bit. Really, those games are almost interchangeable and difficult to rank.

Please. If you're gonna cheat, just do SMAS+SMW. That'll free up a whole other space! Think of all the SNES games that could fill that spot.

But I never played that game.

My question is are they rivals in the same sense that Solid Snake Vs. Liquid are or Frog Vs. Magus for that matter. Any animosity between these rivals?

Terra Vs Kefka? Crono Vs. Lavos? Ramza Vs. Delita? And the ones that I do consider to be real rivalries are horrible like Squall Vs. Seifer. For that matter, too many of the RPG ones are from Final Fantasy. On another note where's Mario Vs. Sonic and Liu Bei Vs. Cao Cao? I'm sitting out this contest as usual.

I think Zhuge Liang's real rival was Zhou Yu. First off they were competing against each other while allied against Cao Cao. Zhou Yu tried to have Zhuge Liang killed a couple of times, but Zhuge Liang was too clever. The faliure of his 3 ploys against Zhuge Liang pretty much lead to Zhou Yu's downfall. Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi meanwhile were merely commanders of opposing armies that clashed a number of times. I don't even recall them conversing once.

This is tough. MGS games had a ton of rivalries. There was Naked Snake Vs. Volgin, Boss, and Ocelot. Then there's Solid Snake Vs. Liquid, Big Boss, and Ocelot. Can't forget about Raiden Vs. Solidus. Vagrant Story meanwhile had a 3 way rivalry between Ashley, Sydyney, and Romeo. Heck, you can throw Jan Rosencratz in the mix.

It's video game related, and it's not MGS. I'd go 3>1>4>2 for that series.

An easier question would be which non PS1 JRPG has the best plot.
