I thought that game was called Spy vs Spy... =)


I nominated Mario vs Sonic. I had to confirm it was what I wanted, since apparently Mario has only been pitted against Wario and Bowser so far. But c'mon, can you tell me there honestly isn't a greater game rivalry than Mario vs Sonic, even if they never appeared in a game together until well after it was relevant?

My noms:

Solid Snake/Ocelot

Sweet Tooth/Calypso

Frog/Magus

Squall Leonhart/Seifer Almasy

Serge/Lynx

Sora/Riku

Big Boss/The Boss

Crash Bandicoot/Doctor Neo Cortex

Paul Phoenix/Marshall Law

Pikachu/Meowth

Tidus/Jecht

Cao Cao/Liu Bei

Kratos/Ares

Ratchet/Captain Qwark

Chris Redfield/Albert Wesker


Also, I’m not gonna nominate it, but my pick for joke entrant to have a shot at winning it all:
Left Pong Paddle
Right Pong Paddle

The New England Journal of Medicine reports that 9 out of 10 doctors agree that 1 out of 10 doctors is an idiot.

I still wish it was a character battle. Who cares if Link always wins?

Nominate ExDeath for the next Character Battle.

It is a Character Battle.

It's going to be between Link/Gannon and Cloud/Sephiroth. I just... it's not even WORTH it anymore. Why are we even doing this?

Cosmos/Chaos(Dissidia)
Mario/Wario(SMB)

"I need scissors! 61!" - The Colonel?

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).

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).

Dammit.
Bahamut doesn't really have a rivalry, does he?

Alexander? They fought once, which is more than can be said for most summons in the FF series.


EDIT: On an unrelated note, how about Neku and Joshua from TWEWY?

Should be Neku Sakuraba and Yoshiya Kiryu since they use full names.

--
Signature change in progress... Please wait.

I went with Neku/Sho.

Although Joshua/Sho would technically be more of a rivalry.

Can Mario vs Bowser AND Mario vs Wario get in?

No.

A character can only be in the bracket once.

"Stay with me until the end. Please."
"Not until the end. Always."

I went with Neku/Sho.

Sho isn't anyone's rival. You just nom'd him because he's the coolest.

Better to change it to Joshua IMO if there's to be any chance of getting any TWEWY characters in.

Nom Frog/Magus IMO.

My thoughts exactly.

Neku/Sho is the best chance of a TWEWY duo getting in, actually.

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

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. Also as others have said, the noble nine are still gonna be huge but their rivals will piggyback into better x-stats.

That having been said, GG fans might be able to sneak in Sol vs Ky. I believe this will also be the first time DW characters are eligible? Not sure they really stack up as rivalries though. Probably better to try and sneak joke-vote in Marche vs Does It Really Matter from FFTA.

With the mixed reactions that this contest has brought up, I'm hoping that this will be more of a mini-contest instead of a full 63 to 65 day contest. A contest like this should be somewhere between a 30 and 50 day contest.

Popular at school, but not as cool as BlAcK TuRtLe, Guru Champ!

How long is the nomination period, anyway?

--
Nominate The Kid vs. The Guy (I Wanna Be The Guy) for the Greatest Gaming Rivalry Contest!

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.
