I quite like the contest, personally. I'm thinking voters will probably take the rivalry aspect as least somewhat seriously, so characters who would normally be mid-tier will vault ahead because their RIVALRY is notable. Red v. Blue from Pokemon is the best possible case of this; Fox and Wolf is another.

Yeah, that was my thought behind nominating some characters that I probably wouldn't even normally nominate (e.g. Ragna/Jin from BlazBlue).

And yeah, we definitely need to nail down who to pair Snake with. I put Liquid, but yeah, I figure his seed is probably going to be kind of low because he's split between Ocelot, Liquid, and Big Boss.

Surprised no one's mentioned Scorpion / Sub-Zero yet. Also I think Flynn would be a better rival for Yuri (in Zagi's case it was pretty much entirely one sided).

But Flynn sucks =(

Wow, what an incredibly boring contest; it's like all the characters you've seen before and would have nominated in a real character battle, but the folks that don't have a rival aren't eligible.

This. Plus some relatively unknown characters are gonna get into the bracket because of the rivalry clause, and then we'll end up with a team of useless characters who get no votes instead of individuals.

This is the exact opposite of what I'm expecting to happen; I think people are just gonna vote for any group of characters that they like, just like in a normal character battle. Red vs. Blue might be the only major exception (and only because of Board 8's support).

Well I can tell Fei/Ramsus doesn't stand much chance -- it tried to correct me and ask if I was talking about Gears of War characters.

Kinda funny how it'd take Xenogears people and insist it were Gears of War, though.

I don't know if SB's reading this, but have there been any popular rivalries so far that would NOT count so far? Just want to make sure choices such as Mario/Sonic, Little Mac/Mike Tyson, and others are valid so far since this is such an unusual format.

Little Mac/Mr. Sandman is actually one of the pre-selected rivalries you can choose, plus it avoids the matter of the nonfictional character (who isn't really fictionalized much in MTPO I'd say)

Your antagonist should be another individual character from the same game or series that you consider a rival of the protagonist - from friendly rivals (Ryu vs. Ken) to mortal enemies (Cloud vs. Sephiroth).

Smash Bros imho

Sonic vs Mario

No, we should do L-Block vs. Z-Block. Z-Block is the most annoying block in Tetris because it's hard to use it to clear a line. That makes Z-Block an ideal antagonist for L-Block.

Yeah, I agree that there could be problems, especially if a character shares a name with a better-known character.

For example, who is Kirby's greatest antagonist? Yes, he's fought Meta Knight plenty of times, but half the time it's because of mind control (Kirby's Epic Yarn) or it's not even the real Meta Knight (Kirby and the Amazing Mirror). Same with Dedede--he's almost always under something else's control at the time. No, Kirby's most frequent true enemy is neither of these. The true final boss of anywhere from three (if you're American or European) to five (if you're Japanese) games, the master of Dark Matter, known as...Zero.

I'm sure Allen will figure it out, right?

And part of the problem is that he has a different name each time. First it was just Dark Matter in Kirby's Dream Land 2, then Zero in Kirby's Dream Land 3, Zero-Two in Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards, then in Kirby: Canvas Curse the sorceress Drawcia made a contract with him, which appears in her final form of Drawcia Soul (this was never made clear outside of Japan, though), and finally he returns as Dark Zero in Kirby: Squeak Squad (but the name was changed to Dark Nebula for the international release).


Please get a life.

It came from Barkley, Shut Up and Jam Gaiden.

It's a freeware RPG, and it's awesome honestly.

Also maybe I'm interpreting the rules loosely, but it sounds like we could nominate, for instance, Peyton Manning vs Tom Brady from the Madden series. They're fictionalized representations of historical characters, not licensed characters who originate from outside video games.

I'd assume fictionalized version means that they are presented in some way that goes beyond their historical existence. The Nobunaga example works, for instance, because Oda is a demonic villain in a lot of series. Barkley and Jordan work because they're in a futuristic RPG. If Brady and Manning work, then essentially any prominent historical set could work. I could use Philip Augustus and Richard the Lionheart because they're both in Medieval 2 or something.

I think SubDeity has it right. Like, you'll find Rodrigo Borgia in the nomination suggestion database. He was obviously a real life pope, but he wasn't the same person as he was represented in the Assassin's Creed games, that's for sure. I don't think the rule is as broad as "Hey it's a real life person in a video game let's nominate him."
