Has to be Vegeta vs Dan for the main contenders.

Octodad is the front runner for a casual shot. Ridley may have put himself into the frame with that impressive win over Bowser. I'd like to see some consistency from him though so maybe he can fight Kefka or Gief and the winner of that can face Octodad for casual contendership.

I kinda think Zangief has lost all claim to a Casual Championship Contender's match. He was inconsistent even before losing to Mika.

We could use another midcard match or two to decide on who has what it takes to get the casual belt.

I think Ridley might be too big for the casual belt, but could use some sizing up before going for the gold.

But Dan vs Vegeta for the main belt for sure.

I'm thinking maybe Ridley vs Octodad for the casual belt, and definitely Dan vs Vegeta for the main belt.

...Though, if Nappa vs Dan turns out to be a qualifier... would could get both The Saiyans and Ghost Trick exploding... the long game pays off at last.
(Though, Nappa going near titles probably won't happen.)

Adam Jensen is now at two wins in a row vs very impressive competition (Nappa and Snake).

Now, two wins in a row has never historically been enough to get a VGCW title shot, but I think considering how god damn crazy strong Wily is atm, he'd be a good pick for Casuals.

Jensen got basically nothing for beating Nappa, who is essentially the Final Boss of VGCW. After another win, he HAS to be considered in the title scene somewhere.

Unless we're saying Nappa and Snake are casual level opponents, Jensen is beating opponents that ought to lead him in a VGCW contender match somewhere down the line.

No, but Wily isn't a casual level opponent, either. He's so powerful he's made the Casual Championship highly prestigious as well. You saw how he dumpstered Waluigi and Guybrush. He needs legit powerful people to challenge him.

Waluigi is inconsistent(for how often he is hailed as a wildcard) and so is Guybrush being in a L W L W L records as he won a rumble to get the shot not a singles match (someone refresh my memory of guybrush's singles i can't recall them) i'm unsure of the quality of strengh Wily had to defend his belt againts.

Hm. Now what.

I got my eye on Bowser and Jensen for possible contenders, with Layton building momentum behind them. Dan isn't out of the running just yet either. Another win will get him back into the conversation. Scorp is also a name to think about if he beats Drac.

For me, it doesn't really feel like there's enough time to have a contender's match and then build the feud adequately. For the top belt, Jensen definitely in the conversation, although something feels wrong about Ridley handling Bowser and getting the casual shot, while Bowser gets the big belt opportunity.

I'd like to see Vegeta get a fair rematch with Ganondorf, because I think the story is there. If Nick had beaten Vegeta and then lost to Ganondorf, fine, he got a big crowning moment to enjoy against Drac, got to dodge Ganon's first attempt, and had a bit of time as the champ, but Vegeta putting up a very brave fight against a cash-in and not getting any time as champion puts a bad taste in my mouth if he just tumbles to the wayside. Not sure how likely that is with Armstrong, Gary, and Edgeworth running the show, but it's what I would like to see.

Put some names in the contender slots, Jensen, Bowser, maybe Scorpion, and let that play out while Vegeta and Ganon build to their rematch at the big PPV show.

Armstrong has a win over the champion, there's no way he's just going to let that go.

Well, with situations like this where there's no clear-cut contenders for the belt, the simplest thing to do would be a rumble. Generates a contender nice and quickly, gives the topcard a chance to sort out a new legitimate contender or two.

Phoenix literally just won contendership from a rumble.

I never said they could all be winners. But with the title picture as muddy as it is, it seems the best option if you want a quick and dirt contender.
