MATCH 1:

Mario vs. Crono (GameFAQs Contests Rivalry)



Widely regarded as the greatest match in GameFAQs contests history, Mario vs. Crono occurred when GameFAQs was at its peak, back in 2003.

The match was not only highly hyped and anticipated, but it also delivered a very close match that was supposed to last for 24 hours Except it didnt. The site exploded in confusion, desperation, excitement, and laughter, all at the same time, upon contemplating the absence of former GameFAQs administrator, CJayC, who had to close the poll by the 24-hour mark.

By the time the 24 hours were completed, Crono wouldve had assured his victory But the extension of the time-frame (was it 2 hours?) granted Mario the win. Since then, Mario has become a villain regarding Character Battles, especially on the rematches he had against Crono, but this controversial match is sure to be one to always remember. -Advokaiser

Rocky Balboa vs. Apollo Creed (Rocky)



Apollo Creed was the former Heavyweight Champion, who was introduced as an main antagonist in Rocky and Rocky II, the deuteragonist in Rocky III, the supporting character in Rocky IV and picture character in Creed and Creed II.

Lilly Satou vs. Shizune Hakamichi (Katawa Shoujo)



Lilly and Shizune are two of the five main female characters of Katawa Shoujo.

Even though Lilly is not one to bear any ill thoughts to others, it is occasionally shown that she and Shizune do not get along well at all, despite the fact that they are cousins. Lilly has great compassion for all other students except Shizune. There seems to be a certain level of rivalry between them, despite the fact that they were close a matter of a few years ago.

Shizune is not very fond of Lilly, often arguing with her whenever they meet. Lilly describes Shizune as pushy, rude, and scary while Shizune thinks Lilly is selfish and lazy. In the past, both were once in Student Council before Shizune "scared off" the rest of the members, leaving just herself and Misha. The two are cousins, and It is worth noting that the two do respect each other highly despite everything. -Katawa Shoujo Wiki
