Cloud may be a little more suitable of that title due to his personality and being sort of an anti-vote magnet. It's just a part of contest lore. His 2002 match against Cloud involving the Planet Gamecube rally, that led to Crono being a hero who tried to "avenge" Cloud but falling just short. Mario/Crono II (2003) was another big part of the lore. The match started early (CJayC would let matches start early if the previous match was clearly decided back then) and Crono led after 24 hours. However the match continued and Mario took the lead and won in "overtime" as the match ran until midnight. That's what made the Mario/Crono rivalry truly iconic (especially since Mario ended at 50.05% both times) and it also intensified Mario's villain cred. And it's stuck with him ever since. It has nothing to do with how he's portrayed in games or reality. It's all contest lore stuff. I think it was mentioned way back, but it's part of the kayfabe of the contests. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? ... Copied to Clipboard! |
