Okay to help you out on Mario/Crono

Mario vs Cloud the round before happened. Baby face vs Baby face

Mario's friends without his knowledge distracted Cloud last second and helped Mario land the stomp on Cloud's head for the 1-2-3.

Mario bans his friends from ringsing the following round and he and Crono put on a 5* classic with Mario just avoiding the crushing Luminaire by a hair to land the stomp on the head for the 1-2-3.

Next year, they rematch. again, both are faces and are putting on a hell of a match. Another 5* classic. Only this time at the end Crono adjusts his spell and hits the Luminaire full blast, knocking out Mario cold just as time is about to expire. He drags Mario to the middle of the ring and 1, 2...

Then the lights go out. The count is interrupted. When they return CJayC is in the ring and hands Mario a star. Mario looks at Crono and Crono is dumbstruck and confused. Mario smirks, shrugs, and activates the star and lays him out with a massive haymaker for the crooked 1-2-3. Mario turns heel.

In the offseason Crono goes searching for answers, and finds himself in Hyrule where Link is back training. Link explains that he used his kid form for a challenge last year but still respects that Cloud was able to get the job done against him, no worries at all. He says he is real sorry for what Mario did to him and offers to train him for a month. It won't get him up to Link's strength, but Link knows a couple of things about whooping Mario's ass.

So finally they rematch the following year. Just as the match starts CjayC goes to interfere for Mario right away, who has slacked in his training since turning heel. But Link shows up, Master Sword drawn, and just shakes his head at CjayC, the match continues and it is fairly even but you can tell Mario should have spent the year training. It's only a 4.5* but in terms of pure story telling it earns a 5.5* star.

In the middle of the ring, Crono is hurting but Mario is gased....Crono hits Luminaire. CjayC is still being held up, there's no one to save Mario. Crono drags him to the middle...

...

And hits another Luminaire as the crowd goes wild.

Crono pins him for the 1...2...3 and the roof explodes. Link nods to Crono, Crono nods to Link. He knows he isn't going to be champion, but he has been restored his pride as a fighter.
