If anything this year proves without a shadow of a doubt (through Seph/Tifa or Mario/Samus) that rSFF exists, which throws out the primary defense of Mario beating Samus which was "Mario would not have been able to SFF her if he was weaker"

This most likely proves the existence of rSFF:

Samus Aran vs. Mario
Registered Vote Result:
Samus Aran - 4398 (47.43%)
Mario - 4875 (52.57%)

Anonymous Vote Result:
Samus Aran - 5154 (50.68%)
Mario - 5015 (49.32%)

I thought the stats would be similar to Tifa/Sephiroth with little difference between both groups of users, but looks like I was wrong. Mario had the benefit of being the overall bracket favorite to boost his support with registered users, so it's quite possible that Samus could have won in a match with nothing at stake.
