User blog comment:Dragonsblood23/Lets Debate 1: Elsa VS Sub-Zero or Ryu and Ken VS Sub-Zero and Scorpion/@comment-5264252-20150617205349

You can't exactly compare Titanic or Fast and the Furious to Frozen when none of the FATF characters are recognizable, only the name is, and the boat Titanic is the biggest thing recognizable from Titanic. Meanwhile, Frozen has an actually recognizable human representative that can be used. Also, they the main connection is "good cryomancer vs bad cryomancer", you miss the sub-connection of both going to extremes to do things for their siblings (Elsa fleeing from home to protect Anna, Sub-Zero taking over his older brother's identity as Sub-Zero to avenge him) and both of them at one point are lead to believe that said siblings are dead. That still works a lot better than just rival fighting games.

I wouldn't mind a VG vs VG battle if there's enough contrast between them, like Lara Croft vs Nathan Drake or Samus Aran. Ryu and Ken vs Scorpion and Sub-Zero just isn't something interesting to see, as much as I wouldn't mind either side in ERB since I do think both are big enough for ERB. Also, Jude makes an excellent point about both sides not being known for being duos, as Ryu and Ken are friendly rivals while Scorpion and Sub-Zero are bitter enemies. Ryu and Ken together could work, but Scorpion and Sub-Zero would make much sense at all, unless it's something like my Tupac and Biggie idea where Sub-Zero kills Scorpion off before rapping.

Also, it'll be two years in November since Frozen came out, and it's still maintained a massive popularity since then.
