Rivalries

Rivalries are when two fighters go up against each other in Classic Mode in an intense match. These rivalries work both ways, as both fighters will go against each other in Classic Mode before the Pre-Boss. Character rivalries are determined by many factors, including similar/differing personalities, related sources, or even something in-universe. Rival battles have an entire set of dialogue before the battle, and the defeated rival has a unique ending during the credits. Echo Fighters share their original fighter's rivals and mid-rivals in most scenarios. 
There are also Mid-Rivalries, which is a fight that occurs after the first four low rank battles. Unlike rivalries, mid-rivals are not shared between both characters (for instance, even though The Thwomps are Edd's mid-rivals, The Thwomps would face a different mid-rival in their own Classic Mode).
