Neither the current Happening, nor DRC acting like a broken piece of shit will stop the #BestVidyaGirlContest Final:

Samus Aran (Metroid) VS Tamamo-no-Mae (Fate/EXTRA)

Who truly deserves the title of Best Girl?

@DEERBLOOD This is the first time ever we see Samus at her full strength, and boy, is she in a league of her own.
@DEERBLOOD @ElTigre @ChristiJunior I was hoping for a competitive match, but after 300+ votes it isn't likely to change much.

All this proves now is that Samus wins popularity contests by default. She has universal appeal. I thought the fediverse could throw a real challenge at her because she always wins normie polls against normie opponents, and the denizens of the fediverse are connoisseurs of vidya women.

But if there is no one who can beat her what's the point? It just sucks the fun out of it for me, because if it isn't competitive it feels pointless, the result was determined as soon as Samus was entered. And I voted for Samus in one or two of the leadup polls.
@Gundog @DEERBLOOD @ElTigre We'll definitely have a discussion about if Samus should be retired for future contests after this tournament, should this result stand, though there may be an argument for letting her participate in at least a second contest next year, since new, strong contestants + people anti-voting her to give way to new blood could make her more vulnerable.

However, right now Samus looks like the female equivalent of Link in the GameFAQs Character Battles, who in 20 years pretty much only ever suffered 2 legitimate losses. And pretty much everyone agrees that Link should have been retired after years and years ago.

Oh, you mean like Justin Trudeau had to be named the "ultimate mangina of the year", because he won several years in a row?
