I think Sub-Zero/Scorpion is the favourite, but a lot of people are siding with Leon/Ada.

This is not even close to a tossup. RE4 is strong. Leon isn't.

Leon could probably win over Sub-Zero in a 1v1 match.

Leon > Sub-Zero > Scorpion > Ada

Went with Sub/Scorp because quite honestly besides Phoenix/Edgeworth it's probably my favorite 'rivalry' in the contest. I like it when both characters in the rivalry are treated equally.

As a huge RE4 fan who knows a bit about the RE universe, I went with Subz/Scorpz and am confident. Leon/Ada isn't really much of a rivalry (although they do have a cool relationship) and Ada is very weak. The MK ninjas both have good/decent strength and together, are one of the most iconic rivalries ever. It's also a day match, something I haven't seen anyone touch on. RE4 has better day trends than old school RE, but it's still a night game. MK came from America and is strongest here. Advantage ninjas. Game ninjas imo.

It should be close. If they win, it'll probably be because of the new Mortal Kombat game. Still, Leon is strong and Ada isn't fodder. It's going to be close either way, with the Ninjas having the advantage. I took Leon/Ada. The match favors The Ninjas.

Few really care about Ada, lots of people care about Scorpion and a strong minority likes him more than Sub-Zero. I'd favor Sub-Zero/Scorpion even if they hadn't gotten a new game.

Sub-Zero/Scorpion is one of those rivalries that stand to benefit from the format quite a bit.

Don't think Leon/Ada win this.

Pretty much every pairing is wrong.

Nominators chose villains when an ally was more appropriate and vice versa.

Leon/Salazar would have surprised me a lot more just because Salazar is so small-time LMAO. Leon/Krauser was the rivalry B8 was hyping up. I'm guessing Ada got in because she has more scenes with Leon than anyone, and she's had two games to build a relationship with him. Krauser, while cool, only goes up against Leon for like two convos and a boss fight.

Leon is undoubtedly the strongest in this group, but that doesn't mean much if Ada ain't bringing much to the table. Not to mention that most wouldn't consider Leon/Ada to be anywhere as good of a rivalry as these two iconic MK ninja. IMO, Sub/Scorpion should most probably win.

Leon Kennedy isn't THAT much stronger than Sub-Zero, I don't think.

People undervalue Subby because he's an MK character.

I'd take Sub-Zero over Leon this year, to be honest. One got a new, popular game and the other is not even in games he should be.

Well I'd vote for Scorpion over certain characters, but I don't think Leon is one of them. I much prefer Scorpion to Sub, but yeah. They should be pretty decent together, but honestly, nobody can call that match. It should be close. If you want to take the safe bet, you should probably go with Scorpion/Sub. If it were a night match, I'd say the reverse. Like I said though, I'm taking Leon.

While Leon is most probably the strongest of the bunch here, Scorp and Sub are no slouches at all. Ada on the other had, well, sucks contest wise.

Scorp and Sub are also actual Rivals, well known ones in fact. I had little/no idea Leon/Ada were supposed to be <_<

Why not?

It's pretty clear that there are people who will vote Cloud over Link but not Sephiroth over Link. Why doesn't it hold in reverse?

Yes, Cloud is more popular than Sephiroth.

But the inherent assumption you seem to be making is that everyone who voted Sephiroth over Link would also vote Cloud over Link.

The chances of that are almost nil. It may not be a high percentage, but those people exist, and depending on how close the match is, it could make a difference.

But the main thing is that there are a lot more people who like Sephiroth more than Cloud than who like Ganondorf more than Link. We have abundant evidence of this fact.
