Royal Rumble confirmed.

Now, who do we all think is going to win it?

The one man who has tried so hard and hasn't yet. :kacho:

Ugh.
Sonic wins the rumble. Loses to Scorps again because why not.

Since we don't know ahead of time who's participating, and what order they'll come out, I find predicting the outcome of Rumbles to be an exercise in futility.

If the Rumble's happening next week (where did you hear this, BTW? Didn't see anything on the Twitter), then we can make a few guesses as to who WON'T be appearing.

- Scorpion (The current champ)
- Captain Falcon (The current Casual champ. I've never seen a reigning Casual champion participate in a Rumble)
- Air Man (Will probably end up facing Falcon for the Casual belt on the day of the rumble)
- Dracula (Just had a shot at the title, though he might be given another chance since the result was a tie)
- M. Bison and/or Sagat (I'm guessing their I Quit match will be on Rumble day. Since the Rumble happens in the second half of the broadcast, the winner could still be slotted in)
- Protoman (The previous reigning champion)

Since that leaves 40 people right there, anyone else could potentially be fair game.

Too bad the Usos aren't in 2K14.

That said, Charles Barkley will win.

Kefka was wrong last time, Wily was hype as hell.

That being said, I think it's time: :salt:

Kefka was right eventually though, all that hype went totally limp as soon as the match happened.

I love Goemon, and am very glad to see people saying he should get a MITB chance. On the other hand, that briefcase is a fucking demon curse, and I want no one I like to so much as touch the thing.

Goemon wins that thing, and suddenly he's losing all his matches, he gets the tilt-a-whirl armdrag, and Ebi leaves him to tag up with Tingle.

I'm always hype for a rumble. At the current point in time though, I can't imagine who can beat Scorpion. Only the most high end fighters like Phoenix or Bowser seem like they'd have a chance. Then again, crazier things have happened, so go Ezio! Make yourself famous!

I've never cared about Ezio but with his current losing streak having him win the rumble and actually take Scorpion's belt would be an interesting angle. I'd hate it, but it would be interesting.

Right now, the only person I could root for against Scorps is Phoenix.

Yeah, it's a shame that the briefcase seems to doom everyone that touches it. Honestly, though, the previous three people had the odds stacked against them when they cashed in. Nappa had to fight glitched-leg Barkley, Barkley then became a jobber and had to fight Haggar, and, while Sonic is clearly not a weak competitor, Scorpion seems to be an absolute beast in the ring these days (plus he hadn't been weakened since Bazza had to set up the match manually, I think. Something like that.)
Hopefully next time Goemon or whoever wins the briefcase gets a fair chance at their cash-in and stops this annoying briefcase curse.

... On the other hand, a Tingle/Ebisu tag team sounds like fun.

As for the rumble, um... let's say Barret wins. :hey:

Bazza said that he has always made sure the champion was weakened in a MitB match. He confirmed it again in yesterday's stream. Sonic had the advantage.

Bazza stated in chat that he was aware ahead of time that he knew that he couldn't write a branch of the story creator on the basis that the match turned out to be a draw. The cash in match started with a cutscene, rather than normal entrances, and had the standard story creator load screens, so it's pretty apparent to me that he loaded a separate story creator file specifically made for the purpose.

He was damaged. Whether or not he was damaged ENOUGH to reflect the previous match is something that could be up for debate.

It's Scorpion. He could be missing his arms and legs and still win by biting Sonic's ankles like a wrestling Monty Python sketch.

If another MITB winner shows up, they had just better listen to the fans advice and cash that sucker in quick. Like, cash it on the second defence after getting it. Sonic just had a nasty situation of having the briefcase when the most beloved wrestler was holding the belt. Maybe it would have been better for him to use it on Protoman instead. But he didn't, so Sonic gets the BOO STREAK SPEEDS BY and Protoman has gone over as hell. (Works for me. HOPE RIDES ALONE!)

Thinking on it though...Goemon gets a fair share of booing from the chat when he comes out anyway...if he got the briefcase, he'd better hope Scorpion had lost the title by then, or face death by firey heat.
