Samus is my favorite non-FFIV character, and this was pretty much her only chance to ever beat Mario.

I guess I'm left hoping these contests are over with after this, because she's never getting this shot again.

Just feel burned out.


I'm pretty sure if we do this again in a year or two, Samus should be a consensus favorite to beat Mario. Smash Ultimate gonna help Samus a lot more than Mario.


Yeah this match WAS the Smash Ultimate effect.

It still wasn't enough.


This was some of it. But the trends have been clear for a while now. Samus is getting more popular (directly) relative to Mario. Today just wasn't past the inflection point. Unless Mario has a good boost (that Samus doesn't) soon, Samus will outright pass Mario, and very soon.


Samus is going to drop relative to Mario (compared to today) as Smash Ultimate immediate release excitement dies down, which helps her more than it helps Mario, especially with Metroid having possibly the most hyped newcomer.

Like, maybe Metroid Prime 4 will recover that in time, but that still puts her below Mario.

This was Samus with everything she had, and it lost. Anyone who thinks Samus is beating Mario is delusional. Cloud beating Link in the near future is more likely.
