Given how round 1 went, it was a fair guess that the RE5 guys had a good shot at the MGS3 pair, especially given that The Boss is just weak. Unfortunately this was the Rivalry Rumble, aka the worst contest ever so something fun happening was out of the question.
The match was reasonably close in percentages, but RE5 never threatened and then you look up how Waluigi's round 1 win was closer than this. And no, I will not get over that stat because it's the perfect microcosm of the Rivalry Rumble.
All that said, I am surprised this match wasn't closer. Chris and Wesker have been trending up on this site and probably got a rivalry boost, and even though the bosses got that same rivalry boost I would never pick The Boss to give Wesker a good match. People either more fondly remembered the MGS3 rivalry, or realized that Resident Evil 5 and the Marvel vs Capcom 3 series is pure trash. Whatever the case, the bosses benefited a lot when I expected a really close match.
