Day 52: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/79009846

It's no longer mysterious!

---

Sorry, guys, I'm experiencing some trouble with uploading today's poll in the topic. I've already redone the topic 3 times and somehow it won't work.

I'll wait a bit and see if this can be done in the next 30 mins.

PHEW! Finally...

Day 53: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/79012483

Here we go.

Day 54: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/79014956

Previous results incoming.

---

Results Day 50:

Marvel vs. DC > Subs vs. Dubs, 10-3
Nintendo vs. SEGA > Dr. Jekyll vs. Mr. Hyde, 7-6

-Hmm... I wonder who would win in a Marvel/DC vs. Marvel/Capcom fight...
-Jekyll almost gives us a tie.

---

Results Day 51:

USA vs. USSR > Ipkiss vs. Broly, 10-4
McDonald's vs. Burger King < Snoopy vs. The Red Baron, 4-11

-Cold War exposed Ipkiss/Broly. I tried to find a full-body image of Ipkiss facing in the opposite direction, towards Broly, so it looked way funnier, but I couldn't find it.

---

Results Day 52:

Hamilton vs. Burr > Coffee vs. Tea, 15-2
Sonic vs. Knuckles < Scorpion vs. Sub-Zero, 7-10

-Hamilton just can't die in peace.
-I feel like this second match was pretty satisfactory in terms of Round 3 strength and competitors.

---

Results Day 53:

Mario vs. Sonic > Link vs. Cloud, 14-5
Luke Skywalker vs. Darth Vader < Marvel vs. Capcom, 8-10

-I expected this first match to be way closer than it actually was, but Mario/Sonic surely looks like the title contender.
-The Force was strong, but not enough to overcome on of the most iconic crossovers in gaming.

Day 56: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/79019452

Important announcement:

Starting tomorrow, matches will be 1-per-day. Not only that, but I will also feature a daily rivalry not in the bracket so you guys can have an opportunity to show everyone a rivalry you'd like to be known.

That being said, if you want to participate, send me a PM with an image and a brief description of the rivalry you'd like to be featured (a la Round 1) and you'll be credited (obv).

Depending on the number of submissions --or ideas I can personally come up with-- there will be a total of 8 or 12 rivalries featured.

I hope you guys join in!

Results Day 54:

Pokmon Trainer Red vs. Pokmon Trainer Blue > PC vs. Mac, 12-3
Splinter vs. Shredder < Good vs. Evil, 5-10

Next Round should be... interesting.

---

Results Day 55:

SNES vs. Genesis < Bugs Bunny vs. Daffy Duck, 5-7
Sherlock Holmes vs. James Moriarty < Professor X vs. Magneto, 4-8

After the utter beatdown Sherlock/Moriarty gave to Ethan/Lane in R1, I didn't actually expect this latter result. BUT, Xavier/Magneto also beat Phoenix/Miles, so... I guess I may have overlooked the potential of these two X-Men.

---

Yeah xmen beat a much stronger rivalry previously.

---

Round 4: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/79021533

---

Results Day 56:

Solid Snake vs. Liquid Snake < Goku vs. Vegeta, 7-10
Tom vs. Jerry > GLaDOS vs. Wheatley, 16-1

Despite some people agreeing on the second match being finals-worthy, This became one of the most one-sided matches in the entire contest.

Results Day 57:

Brown vs. The Board of Education > PlayStation vs. Xbox, 16-2

Wow.

This means Batman/Joker >>>>>>>>>> Batman/Superman.

---

In other news:

• Spidey/Venom was SFF'd by Superman/Luthor, which I personally didn't expect at all
• Vanilla/Chocolate proved to be a surprisingly popular R1 loser.
• Yugi/Kaiba deserved way better, people tell me. The reason is that I actually underestimated Solid/Liquid Snake's strength based on Rivalry Rumble 2011, so I figured Yugi would get past it no problem while making the bracket.

Marvel vs. DC < Nintendo vs. SEGA, 7-9

No amount of superheroes can beat the strongest rivalry between gaming companies.

USA vs. USSR = Snoopy vs. The Red Baron, 10-10

Cold War vs. World War I.

Hmm...

---

Results Day 60:

Hamilton vs. Burr > Scorpion vs. Sub-Zero, 10-5

Yeah, I should've put Hamilton/Burr in another division and we could've had a legendary match right here.

This is the last time I underestimate the power of US history, which has been demolishing a lot of the field recently.

Results Day 61:

I wanted my planned vote yesterday to double as a bump, but yesterday's topic was on the front page every time I remembered. Whoops.

Ooph.

Well, I appreciate the intention!

Results Day 65:

Brown vs. The Board of Education < Nintendo vs. SEGA, 8-12
USA vs. USSR > Snoopy vs. The Red Baron, 12-7

-Brown/Board had an incredible momentum since the start of the contest. There's only one historical case left.
-The tiebreaker has finally been convincingly settled.

---

Sorry for disappearing yesterday. It wasn't possible for me to put up the topic.

I'll start working on today's matches.

---

Results Day 66:

USA vs. USSR > Hamilton vs. Burr, 8-6
Bugs Bunny vs. Daffy Duck > Professor X vs. Magneto, 10-5

-Hamilton/Burr had one heck of a run, wow.
-Amazing way to break the tie, winning by 100% more votes than last time.

---

Day 67: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/79044601

Phew. That took some time.

---

Day 68: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/79046350

Remember that you still have ~37 minutes to vote in the previous match (if you haven't already) due to the posting time.

---

Results Day 67:

Mario vs. Sonic The Hedgehog < Pokmon Trainer Red vs. Pokmon Trainer Blue, 11-12

Incredible!! A clash of titans with a great battle all day long.

---

Semifinal 1: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/79048110


---

Results Day 68:

Bugs Bunny vs. Daffy Duck < Tom vs. Jerry, 8-11

Yesterday's and today's matches were really strong.

---

Today's matches will take a bit longer (~40 minutes from now).

---

Sorry guys, today's match won't happen today. It would be way too late, and I wouldn't want to start tomorrow's topic even later.

So, what I'll do is work on getting everything ready for tomorrow to get the topic up right at 3:00PM EST.

Thanks for your comprehension.

---

Results Day 69:

Nintendo vs. SEGA > USA vs. USSR, 10-8

This is like I'm seeing Mario/Sonic's spirits bandwagoning from within their ashes.

Also, we have our first finalist! Hype!

---

Semifinal 2 is here: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/79052106

---

3rd Place Match: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/79054258

---

Before I forget:

Results Day 70:

Pokmon Trainer Red vs. Pokmon Trainer Blue < Tom vs. Jerry, 10-11

I wanted to rig the match into Red/Blue advancing since it was just a 1 vote difference and the pics I used for them represented the Championship battle (in 2 senses), but I decided to cancel my own vote and let someone else decide the winner since I abstained from voting for the whole contest.

Also, today's match will be up at 4:00 PM EST, and will last for 48 hours. Grab your popcorn, fellas!

---

The final match is here: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/79056332

Remember that you still have a little less than 30 minutes to vote on the 3rd Place Match.

---

Results Day 71:

United States of America vs. Soviet Union < Pokmon Trainer Red vs. Pokmon Trainer Blue, 6-9
Ryu vs. Ken > Scorpion vs. Sub-Zero, 8-6

Who would've thought that the Trainers would go on to earn the overall 3rd Place again, following on the steps of the sitewide Rivalry Rumble?

As for the second match, I would've appreciated a little bit more votes, but it was great to see those pairs face off in a relatively even match.
