Topic	The Noble Nine if viewed as a rotating club, enterable by beating a member
TsunamiXXVIII 11/17/18 6:44:05 PM #32:	HaRRicH posted... Rivalries: (Solid Snake and) Liquid Snake > Crono (and Lavos) That one doesn't count. Cloud and Sephiroth were the only team in that contest comprised of two Noble Niners, so by definition as soon as any of the other seven ran into each other-- which inevitably two of them would since there weren't seven rounds--a non-Niner would be part of a team that beat a Niner. That's why I don't like counting Rivalry Rumble. pjbasis posted... pjbasis posted... Try it again without 4ways or 3ways Actually that would cause a break somewhere because missingno isnt in this contest Oh Squirtle already does this Well Squirtle was only in a 3way contest. The only break in 1v1 was Missingno > Crono. It's that simple. (My idea was just riffing on the fact that while I wasn't there when it happened, the decision to set it at nine seems like a completely arbitrary one that just happened to work out.)

Incidentally, the other side of what I mentioned was that it could've just as easily been only 8 instead of 9.
