Yeah how the heck is the Ryu/Ken rivalry so strong even though Street Fighter games and all Street Fighter characters aside from Ryu are low midcarders at absolute best?

We'd take Ridley over Ken, right?

Ryu/Ken is a well known video game rivalry. It's normal and was expected from them to be strong.

I love this.

Seriously I like FF7 as much as the next guy, but this is hilarious.


I'd find this hilarious - if this wasn't between two entrants I'm not very interested in.

Trainers looking good.

I also have a hard time seeing this as a bandwagon considering that they just lost and not many people outside of this board were expecting a 3rd place match.

It feels so good to be right for once.

It's also quite refreshing as a huge Mario fan to see Mario finally be vindicated, even if only indirectly. Mario usually has a bad break in these contests, only really shining against Cloud in 2002 and a rather easy 2005 win where he then got smacked down by Sephiroth. Still, being #4 on the site was nothing to sneeze at, and he smacked down plenty of characters like a champ, but still, it's just so nice to see him actually be able to compete with Link in, well, anything for once.

Leon, what does Link need to get on Mario to keep Crono at #6 in the stats?


#6? You mean, right below Mario and Trainers but everyone else in his half below them?

63.22%

This is over. Trainers should at least hold the mid-50s by the end of the Power Hour, and no collapse could cause them to lose that. No matter how much Cloud and Seph work at night, the Trainers will come during the day if it's close.

I guess we spend the next wondering if Link is as beastly as we thought, or if single-game rivalries (not named Red/Blue) are just disadvantaged.

I also just remembered that Street Fighter the series is actually pretty strong.

And as Ryu and Ken are, to my knowledge, the "original two", such a rivalry apparently encapsulates the whole SF series.

Okay, I'm sold.

Exactly.

Pokémon fell off greatly during the Mario match, as against Samus. I expect similar behavior here, but hard to tell if they'll fall enough to actually lose.

Looks like this is where Link/Dorf started slowing down their games last match.

It's actually following Link/Dorf trends pretty closely.
