Video Game Championship Wrestling Thread 2: 1000 Years of #THQuality

Arino really need a redo in his stats/moves. He's too weak.

If Arino is gonna stay the way it is with his currently bad stats/moveset (he used to win matches with the Nerd), I wouldn't mind to see Bazza break up Gamecenter FU, and let the more capable tag team partner (AVGN) go for the Casual belt. Would love to see the Nerd feud with Ash.
 
Wario needs to bring back his class. :(

edit: WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
 
Not like the backstabbing practice lol

AVGN theoretically should be all pissed at Arino but he's just like 'man i've got your back we can fuckin' do this'

AVGN gave up on Arino at the end there. He saw Arino in Ganon's clutches and just left the ring. He threw in the towel.
 
From SA:

Long story short, I hacked together some spare code lying around to implement an Elo rating system (like chess) to give an "objective" ranking of all WVGCW players past and present (Women first because there's a lot less data). I think it actually turned out pretty well. I might do a corny POWER RANKINGS post in the thread after each The Night, and will likely make a page on the wiki with updated power rankings. Just a bit of a taste (note that I am counting everyone who didn't win or get pinned in a 3/4/6 way fight as a tie), the top and bottom 3:
Code:
Wrestler		Rating	Matches	Record

Carmen Sandiego		1505.5	2	2-0-0
Poison		        1317.4	4	2-2-0
Ivy Valentine		1253.5	3	3-0-0
...
Android 18		755.9	4	1-2-1
Gruntilda		749.9	8	2-4-2
Rinoa Heartily		610.6	5	1-3-1

So, just to drop some updates, I'm working on the Power Rankings for the men. Holy god, there are so many more men matches than women's I did not quite REALIZE. Just now managed to finish season 1!

-Ganondorf set what may end up being the record for highest rating at any point with an 1802.7 after beating Adam Jensen on 11/28; at the time, his record as I track it was 7 wins, 0 losses, 1 tie. Dude was scary. Thousand Years of Darkness is very clearly shown up in the list of "who the #1 rated wrestler was after each show":

Code:
Match Date	Wrestler	Rating
11/19/2012	Dr. Eggman	1547.2
11/20/2012	AVGN		1604.2
11/21/2012	Ganondorf	1758.8
11/22/2012	Ganondorf	1766.8
11/25/2012	Ganondorf	1784.5
11/27/2012	Ganondorf	1797.7
11/28/2012	Ganondorf	1802.7
12/5/2012	Adam Jensen	1446.4
12/9/2012	Adam Jensen	1579.1
12/12/2012	Little Mac 	1549.5
12/14/2012	Protoman	1632.6
12/19/2012	Donkey Kong	1620.2
12/23/2012	Solid Snake	1583.3

Nobody else was even in his league until 32-5, which, incidentally, counts as the biggest upset in VGCW history; Bowser was rated as being a 40-to-1 underdog for it.

At the end of Season 1, the top five wrestlers were, in order:
Solid Snake
Ganondorf
Protoman
Little Mac
Donkey Kong
...down to a bottom three of...
Nappa
Shinya Arino
Vegeta

On to season 2! I'll get this all hammered out and finalized before the weekend, I think.

Plus, dat harmonica. So inspirational.

Sucks that Tama-ge was taken down on YouTube, though. The only way I can listen to it now is through VGCW. :lol
 
Oh good, SA unblocked their forums. Time to go through their thread to vicariously relive the highs and lows of the last three seasons
 
AVGN gave up on Arino at the end there. He saw Arino in Ganon's clutches and just left the ring. He threw in the towel.

Could make for an incredible feud between the two (Kacho Power vs Nintendo Power), especially after the Nerd's positive pep talk to the Chief before the tag team title match. Maybe make AVGN's in-match moments where his #THQuality AI stopped functioning, and he just stood still and did nothing...as canon fuel to this possible retro-gamer feud. Hahahaha!
 
Arino is completely accurate.
What needs to happen is the Nerd needs to get buffed so that when a game match is too hard for Arino and the AD takes over, he doesn't just lose anyway.

Arino needs to be paired with a team of associate producers who are all stronger than him.
 
Someone on SomethingAwful just posted a few rad custom CAWs... like Clover from 999 (hilariously), a ReDead (absolutely freaky) and a Maneater Mildrid from Dark Souls (although when someone figures out a Solaire that will be glorious).

Oh, and someone else posted a freaky-deaky Parappa.
 
I've never played Mother3 so I don't really have an opinion of Flint, but man do I enjoy his intro song.

DO IT BAZZA
 
Eh. I can see his point, there's only so far filling in the gaps will do for you.

Mind you the Parapa CAW comes Pretty Damn Close, there was a SA-Goon-made Starman one that I thought wasn't too be ether.
 
Bazza doesn't know shit

PUNCH KICK IT'S ALL IN THE MIND, DICK

(I'm salty he hasn't added Scrooge McDuck yet)



Honestly I'm way more interested in the duck tales moon music than an actual CAW.
