Nominate Link vs. Dark Link for the rivalries battle!
The return of...Me_Pie_Three

I'm trying to come up with a mock bracket right now.

We'll see how things work out.

I'm having a hard time coming up with nominations; rivalries just don't jump out the same way as the individual characters. Luster's link will help, at least!

Nominate E P O N A.

I'm the same way as HaRRicH. I couldn't really think of any nominations outside of like Cloud/Sephiroth, Link/Ganondorf, and Mario/Bowser.

Gotta be honest - I'm a little disappointed I can't nominate The Birds vs. The Pigs, or Plants vs. Zombies. Putting an individual just loses the charm.

Mock bracket inside. I made it its own separate topic so more people will read it.

Yeah, Pac-Man VS any individual ghost isn't as fitting as having all the ghosts.

Yeah, it's too bad you can't have all of them, but them's the breaks.

For the GOTD nominations, it took 6 hours, 35 minutes to reach 5000 nominations.

Today, we currently have 4022 nominations after 6 hours, 35 minutes. We're about 1000 nominations behind pace this time around, but I would expect that because site traffic is even lower since last year.

I would imagine another part of it is that it's more difficult to think of good nominations for this one, too.

Also, Pikachu/Mewtwo!

This. Or at least I hope it's just that...

Pikachu Mewtwo is not a rivalry for any reason. Gotta go Mew / Mewtwo.

Hmmm... too many Pokémon nominations possible.

What you prefer doesn't mean anything. I'm sure the average voter would prefer Link/Cloud was allowed but they won't get that.

Charizard vs Blastoise/Venusaur(no BvsV though)
Lugia vs Ho-Oh
Kyogre vs Groudon
Dialga vs Palkia
Reshiram vs Zekrom

All could workI personally would nom all those except DvsP. Mewtwo vs Mew was really only present in the anime, and never occurred in the games directly. Same could be said about CvsB/V and LvsH, but theyh at least have version mascot stuff.

But they have backstory in the games. Not a lot, but it's there. Someone is trying to do a Zangoose/Seviper rally on small amounts on in-game info as well!

How about an Articuno/Moltres nom?

Well, the average user may prefer Solid Snake/Liquid Snake over Solid Snake/The Boss, but it doesn't mean we can't decide!

Except both of THOSE rivalries are prevalent in-game. Pikachu/Mewtwo is not. In fact, Pikachu/Mewtwo isn't even prevalent in the anime.

Seriously though if Cecil/Golbez gets in over Cecil/Kain I will be very upset. Cecil/Kain is better for several reasons and has a better chance of winning a match or...two.

"To be forgotten is worse than death"-Freya FFIX
Pokemon Black FC: 4126 4312 6384

Mewtwo/Mews back story in the games is that scientists found a pregnant Mew in South America, take it to Cinnabar Island Mansion, mess with it's genes, and Mewtwo is born. Mewtow destroys the place, and then just sits in the Unknown Dungeon/Cerulean Cave.

As cool as it sounds, Mewtwo vs Mew is really anime only. Hell, even Lugia vs Ho-Oh is questionable, as they never have any conflict at all ingame(besides advertizements). Kyogre vs Groudon works, but Gen 3 was the low point in the series. Dialga and Palkia don't fight at all in Platinum(they actually work together even).

Reshiram vs Zekrom deserves nominations though; it would be interesting to see how powerful BW's new Pokemon are in the contests.

Oh yeah, Cecil/Kain! Forgot about "friendly-rivalries".

NOW I can nominate Cecil.

Yo Where All The White Women At

Advokaiser posted...
What's up with you, LMS? You find Power Suit Samus to be sexier than Zero Suit Samus? If you're attracted by robots (or robotic suits, for that matter) then Master Chief >>>>> Suit Samus.

Oh wait, you think KERRIGAN is sexy? So, you think Sindel is sexy too?

Who the heck is Sindel?

Maybe Kerrigan isn't all that attractive, but, as I said, what the characters do and their personalities also factors into how "sexy" they are for me, and Leon/Kerrigan nail Samus as far as that goes (and I liked Samus's personality in Other M! It just can't compete with Leon and Kerrigan, that's all).

Also Power Suit Samus is at least as beautiful as Suitless Samus is.

Either way though, Leon is more attractive/sexier to me (and I think this discrepancy would be even worse if I were actually female).

Also, I will repeat this: there's the issue of voice. Leon and Kerrigan have awesome voices, while Samus...only does in my dreams (again, I liked Samus's voice in Other M - it just can't compete with Leon and Kerrigan!).

Also even though I have not yet played FFVII, I'd totally vote for Cloud/Sephiroth over Link/Ganon.

Currently Playing - StarCraft: Brood War

That is enough to root Mewtwo/Mew in the games. What the anime did was take that subplot and develop it into an epic clash of the titans. I would call it akin to a historical figure being "fictionalized" and displayed in a new video game, as SBAllen puts it. Still legal.

If Bacon allows it, it could work. Technically, all Pokemon are rivals with one another since well, they battle each other.

I don't think you know what the definition of a rival is.

Just keep it at Pokemon Trainer Red vs. Pokemon Trainer Blue and maybe Charizard vs. Blastoise

Congratulations to Black Turtle for winning the guru contest.

WTF there's a new contest?

Awesome! Guess this is better than I thought it would be.

I do wonder if this is gonna be any different from the protagonists of each game fighting each other though.
Cloud vs. Sephiroth and Mario vs. Bowser could rival Link vs. Ganondorf pretty well though.

Yes, I really did mean

Sonic the Hedgehog vs. Shadow the Hedgehog

xd Knuckles is a rival

LOL 3-D Sonic fans

The more and more I think about it, I hope this is just a mini contest and we get a real contest sometime early next year.

So I don't think I'm gonna bother to nominate anyone but Black Turtle technically has a nomination of mine right? Did he pick any rivalry?

No problem!
This is a cute and pop genocide of love!

BT hasn't shown up yet to announce his pick.

BT doesn't post very much during the offseason, but once he checks in to see that there's been a contest announced, I'm sure he'll let us know.

I would make my nomination either massively niche or a massive troll in response to this.

SPY vs SPY FTW

He should pick Lloyd Irving/Kratos Aurion for the ultimate troll.
