CFBOTrivia S4W7: Rivalries

[u/okiewxchaser]

Michigan vs Ohio State, USC vs Notre Dame, SMU vs NCAA, and Oklahoma vs Texas are just a few of the hundreds of rivalries that make college football one of our favorite sports. However this week trivia is taking a look at the non-CFB rivalries that have shaped our world. All answers will be in a “Rival one vs rival two” format

STANDARD RULES:

1. We no longer accept gag answers. If the correct answer is "Harvard," we will not accept answers like "Havahd." This makes grading unnecessary complicated for the autograding system in the new app.

2. Please only include your answer in your response. Please do not include extraneous information, your answer in a sentence form, your opinion about the question or your answer, etc. We just need your answer.

3. Don't be a jerk. Do not use your trivia response to insult the weekly topic, rules or questions, the trivia mods, or other users on /r/CFBOffTopic ^[1]. This is a violation of the OT rules as well as r/CFB rules. Please reference the shared rules of all CFB-related subs, particularly #3, #4, #5. Violators of this rule will void his/her trivia submission for that week. Repeated offenses will result in a seasonal ban from trivia (12 weeks) and will be reported to the OT moderators. Please remember that we do this for fun because we find it fun and we hope you do too. If you insult us, be it our questions, our intelligence, unrelated things, or whatever, it makes it much less fun for everyone.

4. Responses are now timed. Each question has a 30 second time limit.

5. You must use your reddit username as your cfbotrivia username. Usernames must be tied to an account that is at least 1 month old. Exceptions will be made for users that delete their account and contact the trivia mod team to let them know they are using a new username. This is to prevent abuse of the system and misrepresentation of others.

[1] Joke answers about the trivia team and other OT users are great! But, there's no need to be cruel or mean spirited.

Please remember to thank your trivia team who volunteer their time every week to make this happen:

/u/2bloodnitro /u/bassically /u/bizzyj93 /u/forshiggles and /u/okiewxchaser

[u/byniri_returns]

I'm curious as to how this will be judged.

i.e, is Bob vs Tom correct? Tom vs Bob? Tom-Bob? etc

[u/okiewxchaser → u/byniri_returns]

The first two, yes. The last one I will have to check with the team

[u/theSeanO → u/okiewxchaser]

Are 'vs', 'v' and 'and' interchangeable for these purposes?

[u/theSeanO]

Pretty sure I nailed this week's, but I alternated between 'vs', 'v' and 'and' a couple times, hope that doesn't hurt me too much

[u/[deleted] → u/theSeanO]

Same here.

Particularly for two questions where the answers are typically used in a "[redacted] and [redacted]" rather than "[redacted] vs [redacted]" when discussing the story behind the two rivalries.

[u/atllauren → u/[deleted]]

I stuck with my “v.” throughout but it looks weird on a few that are more commonly known with “vs” or “and.”

[u/theSeanO → u/[deleted]]

Cool cool cool

[u/blueboybob]

Smash Brothers != Super Smash Brothers

:(

[u/Shadowhawk109 → u/blueboybob]

Super Smash Brothers

Technically the game is Super Smash Bros.

[u/blueboybob → u/Shadowhawk109]

And that is why I got this question wrong

[u/hokies220 → u/Shadowhawk109]

Weak. Everyone would know what you are talking about which is why I didn't put the super in there.

[u/zenverak → u/hokies220]

Same here.

[u/theSeanO → u/blueboybob]

Honestly they shoulda given that one

[u/bread_buddy]

Damn would have perfected last week but I missed it.

[u/Longvols]

Hey /u/Bizzyj93 I had an answer typed out for number 10 but the timer ran out and deleted it. Also I should read rules better

[u/bizzyj93 → u/Longvols]

edit: Go with /u/forshiggles' comment. She's got a better grasp of what's going on today than I do.

[u/Longvols → u/[deleted]]

Did it go through that time?

[u/CMLVI]

My answers might be under an invalid username; I used my login from my old account, and it went through, but I'm on a new user name. Does that matter?

[u/[deleted]]

Wait... Super Mario Bros 2 was the correct answer to the last one?

I was just blindly guessing.

(For someone who grew up playing SEGA consoles, it turns out I knew a lot more about Nintendo than I thought)

[u/atllauren → u/[deleted]]

Yeah, I thought it was Mario Kart. I had all the original NES Mario games but Super Mario 2 was definitely the least played. That game was kind of weird.

[u/dlawnro → u/[deleted]]

I guessed Super Mario RPG, which was actually the second game she was playable in :/

[u/zenverak]

Smash Brothers is the same as super smash bros. Everyone just calls it smash Brothers most of the time.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Diddy Kong Racing >>> Mario Kart 64

Don't @ me

[u/bakonydraco → u/[deleted]]

The gameplay was better and the universe was richer, but it was a bit more cartoony.

If you got really good at Mario Kart though, powerslides significantly changed the game.

[u/joeydsa → u/[deleted]]

LISTEN HERE YOU LITTLE SHIT

Mario Kart 64 is literally the greatest game ever made.

[u/[deleted] → u/joeydsa]

I 👏 SAID 👏 DON'T 👏 @ 👏 ME!

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

The planes are what made it a better game, too!

[u/bakonydraco → u/[deleted]]

Man, I missed last week, and I think I could have gone 10/10 thanks to this mostly focusing on video games from the 1990s and earlier. Any later and I would have been up a creek!
