Can't say I blame you... unless you're one of the 71 battle perfects or the 3 people likely to win the Guru, a lack of hype is very understandable. Still, we go over some fun things to watch for in these last two weeks of the season, so hopefully that helps!

Great stuff.

Trainers have a non-negligible chance of beating Mario/Bowser, but if they do win, they will submit to the LAW, like every Nintendo entity before them.

I don't think the Mario/Sonic match changes the idea of a Mario/Sonic rivalry being good too much.

But we still need a bonus poll with Mario/Sonic in it anyway!

It's hard for Kratos to benefit from anti-votes when the voters hate him, too.

--
"The great GF...Bahamut."
"...GF? I...? Using my powers...It is you humans...I fear..."

As far as mathematical disparity...

If you assume Kratos/Zeus and Ammy/Orochi are equal, Link beats Cloud with 64.88%

Or conversely, Kratos/Zeus would have to beat Ammy/Orochi with said percentage for Cloud to beat Link.

But that's assuming nothing weird is affecting either result.

http://i54.tinypic.com/10729w2.gif

Wait, wait, wait...

We want to argue Link/Ammy had some potential pseudo-Nintendo SFF but Cloud/Kratos couldn't have had any sort of weird SFF of any sort?

It's rivalry isn't though.

Well, I said "at some point."

Does anyone think Metroid actually wins a Series Contest rematch with Pokemon if, heaven forbid, we should ever have another one?

--
"Why must we always choose between certain death and probable death?"
"I'm in an epic battle to the death, FIGURE IT OUT YOURSELF!"

I don't even want to think about another series contest.

The Sora/Dante convo makes me hope for aan all-fictional character battle. We'd be going in nearly blind again. Would be the most fun contest I've seen.

Yo/RPG for best rivalry.

Though I hate the obnoxious pokemon fans as much as anyone. Even as much as a fanboy as I am, I still know how to be classy.
