Maybe I'm just biased since she was my main, but I don't really get the "Mariya was carried by lore" argument. Thought she certainly got a fair amount of appearances and pep talks early on, the writers went 15 days straight (from Losers Round 3 to Losers Round 6) without giving her anything more than a single throwaway line. In the meantime, contestants like "Weird Al" Yankovic and Jack & Elmo had stories that basically amounted to "wow it sure sucks that I lost to Mariya". So I find it really weird that her talks with Professor K and Off the Hook were apparently strong enough to let her win so many rounds during a drystreak of Mojo appearances. If anything, Professor K and MissingNo. are way more guilty of this criticism (though discrediting their success because of "lore" is still pretty stupid).
