Ripper vs Big Nipper: It took a lot of practice and precision before Big Nipper became the mosnter it is today. Ripper is too big for those claws, what can they grab onto? It's got a big flipper that wil easily exploit Big Nipper's clearance. Big Nipper's damage has always been minimal, I don't recall if it was the crushing motion of the pincers that sheared a tyre off of Jackson Wallop, but even if it was, that's a pretty low crush-threshold.

SMIDSY vs Iron Awe: Tricky to call, I can see the advantages that both of them conceivably have. I don't think Iron Awe was so slow that it'd be helpless against SMIDSY's charges> A flip will be difficult, but I believe that if it can get SMIDSY to spend most of the time with its wedge inverted, this match is its oyster.
