Board 8 > Samus Losing? The Noble Nine is Dead!

(+) Yeah! (+)

Wow I guess Other M really hurt her reputation (what with the constant crying and acting like a girl.) To think there was a point were she could hold her own against powerhouses like Sephiroth.

Rivalry format

NN already lost last year

NN doesn't "die", they just lose their winning streak

Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 1 is the best film EVER! Even better than Gigli!

I don’t think the rivalry format is a factor. People just vote for their favourite game hence why this tournament has been the least exciting in living memory.

The rivalry format is definitely a factor. How big a factor, well, that's a good question. But it definitely has some impact on how the contest goes.

Clearly, rivalry pays no factor. When Red+Blue are demolishing Samus. And last year, Red alone got demolished by X and BARELY beat Revolver Ocelot.

Sadly, it is a huge factor though. Sub-Zero isn't going to miraculously pull off 73% on Leon nor is Pokemon Trainer Red coming close to beating Samus or even Luigi in a 1vs1 setting.

pokemon is a much more popular series than metroid

and yeah, other M happened, though I think it's a repressed memory for most so idk if that really affects voting.

Which is a travesty, and a general affront to gaming really.

Hell no. Pokemon is awesome. Metroid is awesome also, but a much different kind of awesome.

Pokemon got my vote only because Samus beat Big Boss and I am salty and probably not the only one. So Samus is probably losing a lot of votes from angry mgs fans.

Actually, you very well might be the only one. It is the rare circumstance where any meaningful amount of anti-votes comes from jaded fans taking "revenge" for that contestant having beaten their favorite. It takes a hotly contested rivalry like SSBM v. SSBB to cause that.

Isn't it more "Rivalry is a factor when there's actually a rivalry"?

There's always hope for better things in life. But you can't let anything, friend, lover, God himself, be your hope. You have to be your own hope.

No,rivalry matters.Does anyone really cares for Ridley?Nope.

What do you mean Sadly??? This is a friggin RIVALRY CONTEST. RIVALRY factor should be the biggest factor(it isn't the case for every match but still)


How is it Sad? Do you want Leon Ada to beat Scorpion/Sub?

Samus/Ridley is a crap rivalry. So they are doing crap. IT's not rocket science.

I would say it's a mixture of Rivalry and the characters involved. Take Cllouderoth.

Rivalry is basically hero/villan. But together...they are arguably(i don't rate ganondorf...he's pretty weak) the strongest duo in the contest.

People care for both of them and both of them have incredibly individual strength.
