Unless something happens to weaken her next year, the only chance to see Samus get seriously challenged would be for a brand new competitor (like Princess Zelda or Marisa) to turn out to be even stronger than the likes of Tamamo, Reimu and Remilia. But even that would probably not be enough.

Samus is eerily similar to GameFAQs Character Battle Link in many ways, and the thing with Link is that he has suffered pretty much no normal losses, ever, over 16 years. His only losses were to Cloud (once, and probably only because of his much-loathed Wind Waker picture), L-Block from Tetris (total Joke character that the entire internet rallied around) and Draven from League of Legend (thanks to insane levels of Reddit cheating).

Translated to Fedi terms, it would seem to me that Samus will only lose if facing a girl with incredible natural strength, whose fans also cheat/alt-vote like crazy. At that point it's better that she just be retired, though I'd like a wider discussion about this when I finish my tournament writeup.
