(3)Donkey Kong vs. King K. Rool vs (6)Ezio Auditore da Firenze vs. Rodrigo Borgia 2011

Ulti's Analysis
A heavily debated match pre-contest that was over in seconds. When an entire contest can be compared to having sex for the first time, you know something went horribly wrong.

There was at least decent reason for this to be a debate, though. DK and Ezio were dead even in 2010, and Ezio's value was hidden behind that weird Samus > Zelda match. Then there were Rool and Rodrigo themselves, both of which we considered useless.

Turns out King K. Rool is actually well-liked by a lot of DK fans though, so that was that. Meanwhile, you can play a large chunk of Assassin's Creed 2 without ever knowing who Rodrigo is.

Was this about when we realized this contest was going to suck, or did that come later? I don't even remember.
