Barret vs Duke could be interesting

Barret vs Travis too, could even have Dads vs Fuckheads

Barret's honestly someone I see not quite as on the chopping block, but he really needs to step his game up because the crowd is running out of sympathy for him fast. Remake hype will only do so much for the guy.

One of reason why I think momentum rankings represent characters better than power rankings. Power Ranking is too reliant on "strength', or ranking of opponent.
Barret was actually one of the reasons I wanted to try a different way of ranking characters that was based more on actual winning rather than who you win against. I like Barret and I understand why he was top 10 in the power rankings though. He beat Gary and Snake who were flying high in the top 10 at that point but only lost to Airman and Scorpion who were top 2 in the rankings so he barely lost any ELO at all.

Barret has been facing a ton of people who are or were flying high in the rankings. The last time he faced someone in the lower ranks (at the time of fighting) was Captain Falcon. He's had to face Ness, Bison, Airman, Snake 3 times, Donkey Kong, Gary twice, Dante and Scorpion since then and I think all of them were at least top 15 at the time Barret got to them.

For reference he's 32nd in the momentum rankings, 21 places lower than his power ranking.

Barret's one of those people who I feel gets consistently screwed by circumstances of the game, and I hate that I feel that way. He's no Ezio, but it feels like Barret's never just on the cusp of something great, he's built a summer home on the cusp and doesn't want to move out.

Just five left, though I may split into two posts depending on how many words I have to say about them.

I don't think the Casual Curse can hurt you when you're that high up in the midcard. Groose is pretty damn strong, and like Airman before him, he'll likely just power through whatever dark magic the curse has on it.

So many great things have happened with heels lately. Illidan and Guile's character arcs are two of my favorite of all time. They're great fun to watch.

2: Scorpion


1: Nappa


I'll be doing a bonus post or two after this with some extra thoughts probably.

Nappa seriously hasn't long a singles match in 2k14? Holy shit I had no idea.

NOPE.
Nappa's still undefeated in singles, yeah. One more win and he's got the record all to himself.

As for the Scorpion thing, I was upset at the time, but in retrospect that was mostly just due to A. being a fan of the guy and B. the match being a colossal disappointment. I agree with the statement that "The Rub" does not actually exist and him losing to Ganondorf is far from the worst case scenario when you think about it, since Ganon's the type of guy who can actually use it to his advantage almost immediately.

I feel like Nappa's match against DK at the go home show before End Game 9 was really good.
Most people just had a supreme amount of salt because he reversed a finisher in the middle of the match even though he didn't get a pin off of it and DK probably wouldn't have either, and it TOTALLY crushed DK's heat despite him getting into and being really boring in the next contender's match.

But that's Season 9.

The MITB cash in and the triple threat were great matches.
He really hasn't been booked too much as a singles competitor. I mean. The guy had a period of a year where he had 0 Vanilla matches at all, and he was in tag hell for two seasons.

For someone who has, numerically, been booked more than anyone else on the roster, he really hasn't been in a whole lot of singles matches.

He should totally fight Pheonix Wright.
That could be a main event some slow night or a match at a PPV. I could easily see Nappa going up and asking Pheonix for the match on the context of Defending his streak, since Nappa and Pheonix have been bros since like. Season 2.

Has Nappa fought Phoenix in a while? Make him earn the streak from the guy who has it.

It would be a normal match obviously.

Guile did nothing wrong
I turned extremely sour on Nappa in singles matches after that ridiculous match with snake.

He's always been pretty shit in the ring but he's been terrible since then. Beating Bison after one finisher for no real reason, that ladder match with Duke that was destined to fail because ladder matches suck and that mediocre match with DK have made it so that I never want to see him in another singles match. Or in general, because all of his multiman matches tend to be below average and The Saiyans are one of the worst tag teams ever match quality wise.

I will give him credit for that time he trashed Sagat though

Hmm. Maybe it is time for Nappa to move on to other things, seems nobody really likes him in the ring and its not like hes the only character who has funny plot scenes. Also he had the belt, we all know if he had 1v1's to defend it then he would still have it, not to mention being in tons of season storys and ether feuding or teaming with almost everybody on the roster. He really has nothing left to do in the show,

Also hes not a video game character, and we need to make some room in the roster at some point.

Nappa would be a good canidate for a legend, really.

I'd like to have him stick around for the Sayains too though because I liked them...I'm sure someone else liked The Sayains too right.....
Right?
