I'm seeing lots of 'rivalry factor' talk around here. People are saying that some rivalries will do better because their rivalry is good, some will do worse because their rivalry is bad, ect. Let's find out what B8 truly thinks about these rivalries (note that this isn't supposed to be a rank by contest strength thing, don't do that).
Mario vs. Bowser Jim vs. Queen Slug-for-a-Butt Conker vs. Great Mighty Poo Ike vs. Black Knight Kirby vs. Meta Knight Jill Valentine vs. Nemesis Sonic vs. Dr. Robotnik Katherine vs. Catherine
+8 Ike vs. Black Knight +7 Katherine vs. Catherine +6 Mario vs. Bowser +5 Sonic vs. Dr. Robotnik +4 Jill Valentine vs. Nemesis +3 Kirby vs. Meta Knight +2 Jim vs. Queen Slug-for-a-Butt +1 Conker vs. Great Mighty Poo
6-2 have cool rivalries, but the only ones I really care about are the top two.
+8 Kirby vs. Meta Knight +7 Mario vs. Bowser +6 Ike vs. Black Knight +5 Katherine vs. Catherine +4 Sonic vs. Dr. Robotnik +3 Jill Valentine vs. Nemesis +2 Jim vs. Queen Slug-for-a-Butt +1 Conker vs. Great Mighty Poo

+8 Mario vs. Bowser (I know people are disappointed about Mario/Sonic but this is one of gaming's greatest feuds) +7 Katherine vs. Catherine (Questionable as a rivalry between the two actual characters but it still works) +6 Sonic vs. Dr. Robotnik (Not as close to my heart as Mario/Bowser) +5 Kirby vs. Meta Knight (I'm not sure Kirby is aware this is even a rivalry, but otherwise good) +4 Ike vs. Black Knight (At least this one is personal) +3 Jill Valentine vs. Nemesis (shrug) +2 Jim vs. Queen Slug-for-a-Butt (Not Psycrow?) +1 Conker vs. Great Mighty Poo (Funny, but more of an excuse to have the GMP in the contest than a real rivalry)

Top two are legitimate rivalries. Bottom two don't even come remotely close to qualifying. Conker fought the Great Mighty Poo once, he was a boss fight. How that even comes close to being a rivalry is beyond me. Katherine vs. Catherine is even more confounding, they only even INTERACT once in the entire game, you can't be someone's true rival if you don't even know they exist.
Mario vs. Bowser - 159 Sonic vs. Dr. Robotnik - 122 Kirby vs. Meta Knight - 118 Katherine vs. Catherine - 104 Ike vs. Black Knight - 103 Jill Valentine vs. Nemesis - 86 Conker vs. Great Mighty Poo - 56 Jim vs. Queen Slug-for-a-Butt - 44
