Nappa's the kind of guy who even if he isn't undefeated, beating him still seems like it'd be big. Maybe even if you beat him in a gimmick match, since he seems to have a talent at those.

To kinda put things into perspective, Nappa has had a grand total of 76 matches since showing up in VGCW...thats a lot, as much as people want Nappa to stay, I wouldn't be against having the Saiyans in a Legends contract at some point when new stars start getting called up and we can afford to let people go.

SaiyanS? Plural? The hell has BADMAN done? He's criminally underrated, his matches tend to be fantastic. Think of his MOTN with Ebisu or his match with Groose or his 1-1feud with Johnny Cage, two matches that don't get the respect they deserve. You can convince me that Nappa could get a contract, but Vegeta is fantastic.

I don't agree with putting either of The Saiyans on a Legend Contract, at least not at this point at least. Season 11 is going to be more light-hearted, so Nappa will thrive in that environment!

And, come on, making Vegeta of all people a Legend is ridiculous, he's great.

Nappa's had a lot of matches but he's never hijacked the top card or kills peoples momentum. His last few matches sans the title match were against other percieved top carders like DK, Duke, Scorpion and Haggar. It's not like he comes in and beats up mid and lowcarders to halt there momentum, he fights against his fellow top carders. I want to see him hoss it out with other big guys as well like Bowser and Ganon. Plus his theme gets the crowd hype.

Also Nappa's going GM when he finally retires. This guy is gold in plot and his plan of giving the guy who does the most scoop slams in a match a title shot has to come to fruition!

GM stands for Ghost Manager. Please, can we do this?

Vegeta, I'm managing you... generally.

The thing about Nappa is that his dominance throughout the whole of 2k14 hasn't been a front and centre thing, he never got plot about it or got any big push from his matches and only really broke into the main event after his MitB win. Nappa has a lot of matches but most of them were matches to fill out a card in the middle of a regular episode - he's barely had proper time up against main event talent. Nappa should definitely be in matches against top talent rather than being sent off.

Did anyone who wants him gone want that before reading his records? Or did you see the numbers and think that it was 'time' for Nappa. I think he's a fun part of the show that still has options open for matches, so he should stay until he's done anything offensive. (Also why are the Saiyans defacto banned from the tag scene?)

They're kinda impossibly strong.

They'll be back. Vegeta can't keep Nappa away forever.

I'd definitely be up for them going back to tags at some later point to spice up the division, possibly if another team starts to become dominant

I feel like it's a really dumb idea to give all our strongest wrestlers a Legends contract because it removes an incentive to reach their level. Once you win enough matches, you leave and we get bored of you? We wouldn't WANT our faves to win matches if we knew they were just going to be put on a bus when they do.
Incentive is kind of a weird thing to cite. If these were people with their own interests, sure. But they're animated characters in a video game, which is something we all too often forget. Being Adam/Red/whoever isn't actually suffering. They don't have feelings at all!

I realize that you're talking about the audience's investment with a character, rather than the character's feelings. But taking that into consideration, when people win a lot, they tend to be viewed negatively too. It happened to Scorpion and Nappa, at least in certain segments of the fanbase. Couple that with the audience desire to constantly see new characters and you have a reason to try to remove characters that are stale, no matter what their win/loss records are.

I'm only saying they have both been around for a good while, not that they should go this season.

It's been two seasons since the Saiyans dropped the title; I wouldn't mind them returning to the tag scene.

Also, Phoenix Wright vs. Nappa seems like it would be a good idea. Though we've got Phoenix vs. Edgeworth to get to first...

Or maybe have Edgey attack Phoenix after the Nappa match to cement his heel turn. With Nightmare Gabe and Dante dealt with, there isn't anything keeping Edgeworth as a face at the moment.

Other than not really being a heel at all, anyway.
