Predator v Prey

The perfect success rate balance.

A match-up involving two animals — one a predator, the other its prey — caught in the basic fight for survival. To sustain itself, the predator must capture and eat the prey animal, and the prey must in turn do what it can to avoid the hunger of its pursuer. The animals involved can by any pair that would be naturally seen in this relationship. Examples are a cat and a bird or a shark and a fish. To keep their interactions alive, the prey must be the one to always win out in its conflicts with its enemy. It's depicted as the clever Luckster who knows just what to do when encountering the one after it. Meanwhile, the predator, the one who loses every time, is the unfortunate Unluckster who falls victim to dangerous situations, gets caught by a third-party interference, and is always playing chump to its to-be dinner. Nevertheless, the predator continues in its chases. It employs whatever devilishly ingenious schemes it can to finally get itself a meal. Pit Traps, Rope Traps, explosives, lures, and dummies. These tricks to contain or fool the prey are all part of the predator's plans. Though the audience knows the outcome of every fight between the two, the Entertainment Value is derived from how the predator loses, not how it might win.
