| PostContestUlti 12/06/20 11:01:27 PM #84: | Division 8 Round 1: Auron, Marcus Fenix, Rydia, and Sub-Zero Auron - 50759 [39.5%] Marcus Fenix - 20745 [16.14%] Rydia - 22461 [17.48%] Sub-Zero - 34544 [26.88%] Total Votes - 128509 If you look at all of contest history, Auron and Sub-Zero have faced each other <i>four times.</i> It's as pointless a contest "rivalry" as there is, because outside of something truly absurd (Sub-Zero in Smash Bros or as a JRPG lead), he will never be stronger than Auron. Ever. It will not happen. Thankfully this was early on in the so-called rivalry, with this contest giving us matches #2 and 3. Auron > Sub-Zero was pretty much a mortal lock for this match, and what was also a mortal lock was Fenix being a one-hit wonder. He got super lucky to make it into round 3 of the 2007 contest, and this year saw him fall back down to earth in a big way. He went from outright winning a match in 2007's first round, to... this. Losing to Rydia and being unceremoniously dumped from contest lore thereafter. Gears of War was never going to be the type of franchise GameFAQs cared about long term, so Fenix falling off in a big way was no surprise. We know this about Gears because even Drax replacing Fenix can't convince us to care, and Drax <i>is</i> the kind of dude GameFAQs cares about. https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/7706-which-scheduled-september-release-are-you-most-looking This match was easy, predictable, and outside of Rydia's surprise third place and her, um.... <i>assets</i>, it was super boring without much to talk about.
