quick question. what exactly is the apeal of a Douche rival if the character of said rival might be as one note as blue? I mean et's face it asside from Silver there has not been a good "douchbag" rival yet in terms of them actually being a fucking character over a single trait
-
Because Blue and Silver offered a challenge. It's not necessarily the idea of a "jerky rival" but more of an "Imma be clear with you okay I'm not your friend, I'm here to wreck you" type of rival. Blue and Silver actually gave motivation for us to beat them, rather than having friendly fights with the recent rivals we've had.

The "douchbag" rival archetype has more appeal than a friendly rival, since said archetype gives more tension and satisfaction for each encounter; i.e if the player character loses, then the rival will have a lot more smack talk to give towards the player, thus giving the player more reason to beat him/her which makes the conflict more exciting since it is no longer a one-sided rivalry as both characters will be putting their pride and prestige on the line. Then, when the player wins the next encounter, it will be more satisfying to see that the rival can't backup his/her top dog status anymore.
