Probably not good at this
|
As much as I would love to see Waluigi in yet another casual contenders match, I don't know if that would really be fair. He's the first and only two-time champion and really, I love the guy to death but there are a lot of other midcarders who have the potential to fill that spot in better. For now, anyways. Trust me, I want Waluigi to be a three-time casual champ at some point, but eh, not now. |

If the Casual Contender match is post-Chamber, then my picks would be: Red/Groose(depends on who wins their match) vs. Bison/Sagat(depends on who's still employed post-Chamber) vs. Barret vs. Kefka/Octodad(depending on whether or not Kefka wins the Elimination Chamber). A Casual shot might be a good consolation prize for the midcarders in the Chamber match. As popular as Ezio is, he needs to get some actual wins to aim for Casuals. Kefka and Octodad both have the credentials to compete, especially the clown prince himself. If, by some twist of fate, Kefka ends up winning the title shot, then Octodad would make an acceptable substitute. Edited by Wyvernil, Jul 17 2014, 07:55 PM.

My amended Casual picks, following tonight: Octodad vs. Arino vs. winner of Red/Groose vs. winner of Bison/Sagat. Beating the Nerd (along with Tingle) is certainly nothing to sneeze at, and Octodad's victory should put him in line to seek the Casual title. Likewise, the Kacho is on the rise, with a stunning victory over Sonic. The results of the Elimination Chamber matches should help to secure the rest of the slots for a Contender's match between Elimination Chamber and Endgame. Though I have to wonder where the Co-Op championship stands now. Is half of a tag team getting turned into a robot grounds for having the title vacated? |

Order! Order in the court!

Okay now we need a superstar who can beat Airman. Contenders should include... Red and Octodad. Arino was in the last contenders, and as impressive as he has been, he could use a bit more to prove himself. Same goes for Heavy. Gray Fox has been on a roll lately, and should be given a chance as well. Last slot is up in the air. |

Next VGCW Champ contenders match must be Guile vs. Bowser...or have them included in the event of a multiman. |

Putting Bowser in a multi-man match is guaranteeing he never gets a title shot. Bowser is an incredible singles competitor and has been on a roll since joining the roster full-time but anything that isn't one-on-one and he turns into Gary Oak. I'd rather just have a straight up match between Guile and Bowser. You got two guys who have been on quite a roll but seem to be overlooked. Hell I want to see that match even if it isn't for a title shot. For the Casual Championship, with such a strong competitor in Airman even guys who are seen being above the belt should be thrown into the mix. I'm talking guys like Phoenix, Gabe, and even Illidan fighting for the Casual title. I think much like the WWE Tag Titles the Co-op Titles are an after thought for Bazza. I hope they aren't vacated because as much as I love tag matches I couldn't sit through another tournament unless every match is a gimmick one. Bazza should just let Vegeta defend the titles with a mystery partner. Make it a plot where Vegeta is forced to defend the titles or vacate them and have backstage segments of him going around finding a new partner. It seems like a good way to introduce a Even better an excuse to bring back Piccolo or until Nappa returns to normal. Edited by GhostofGhostDad, Jul 30 2014, 02:22 PM.

Sounds Like A Bodacious Time
|
Geta's a bit of a classist. I feel like he'd only fight with other Saiyans or Royalty. Maybe he could associate with some fellow royalty from EDBW? I guess Bowser is technically a King. Or maybe he could fight with Lawler.

I wouldn't mind seeing a triple threat between Bowser, Air Man, and Guile. All 3 are under scorpion, if it has to be a multi man this would be the way to go. In Air Man's case, he could vacate the casual title if he wins all the way through. |

I approve of these contenders. As for the last slot... there's at least one man who isn't roboticized and is a regular casual-rank fighter. Or, if you don't mind seeing an old face go for the belt, And of course there's always My money is on one of these three being the final of six possible contenders. Though I actually favor a three or four man match to determine the actual contender spot, based off of a few matches between these very same nine. Thrown in Snake for good measure.

Red and Octodad are definite picks for sure. But aren't we forgetting someone? Despite the odds being against him, Bison managed to save his career. I think the next logical step for him would be a run at the casual title. That should give him something to do other than pull a Wesker and get tossed out despite winning the I Quit match. My casual picks are pretty much the same as before: Red vs. M. Bison vs. Octodad vs. Arino. If it's been too soon since Arino's last contender's match, then Barret would probably be the best substitute. Gray Fox will probably be involved in plot, so I don't see him getting another Casual shot unless they throw Air Man into the Practice plot and set the two up to feud over the belt. Besides, most of the midcard is borged and probably won't be going for title shots. As for the main title, if the Kefka/Scorpion bout isn't going to be an Endgame thing (which is possible depending on how long the robot master plot will take), then I can get behind a Bowser vs. Guile title match. Maybe even throw Dracula in to make it a triple threat. |

Goemon, AVGN, and Heavy Weapons Guy should be thrown into the list of possible #1 Contenders for the Casual Title. Like them or not they are pretty high ranked and would make tough opponents for Air Man. Now would be a good time to hold a tournament to determine who fights Air Man next because there are a lot of guys on the roster deserving of a shot. Bowser/Guile should just be a one-on-one match. Dracula had his shot and lost to Kefka, Air Man is the Casual Champion, Little Mac is a robot, and Gabe should be watching his back because I think the Master Plan is to turn him Steam Powered. |

Goemon and Heavy I completely agree with. Not sure AVGN should be dropped into casuals just yet though. Depends on just how strong we're willing to let the fighters be in the casual. Airman being there, I guess though, means there's not really a limit on strength. Ganondorf: Three time casual champ? It's more likely that you think! |

Am I the only one who doesn't think Octodad has earned himself a shot yet? Sure, a win over AVGN (and Tingle too I guess) is very impressive, I just think he needs a 1v1 to solidify a place. Red is a cert, Bison should get a chance, don't know about Arino just yet, and Fox is tangled up in Plot (plus I think he's proven he is way too strong for Casual). |

Have you forgotten who's the Casual Champ? It's god damn Air Man, the Casual Championship is already too strong. We could use Gray Fox who has proven himself to be decent since his close loss against Falcon. |

My thoughts for a Casual Contenders is: - Red's moveset change has been yielding fantastic results, beating Jensen in what may as well be a squash, and putting down Groose, who was a former VGCW champion. He's certainly earned consideration for his old throne.- Bison hasn't shown up a whole lot in matches, however he definitely showed a lot of heart and saved his career by ending Sagat's. Perhaps the Casual Title will bring the Bison Dollar's value up a notch.- The Kacho is no stranger to the Casual contender process, but has never really pulled it out in one. However, he had a very good match against former Mr. Sonic, so that might be worth a spot in the next one.- Out of the Gang of Bullies, Heavy has been the most consistent recently, and we can always use a bigger fellow in these matches. Don't have a whole lot to say for Heavy other than that really. Maybe should have one more singles match?As for other considerations posted, my thoughts: - I can't really think of Segata as a good choice for contender based on his recent record, which has been subpar since dropping the belt to the True Best GM. With an 0-4 streak in singles at the moment, one against the current Casual Champion himself and new #1 Contender to the main title Kefka, we should wait for Segata to pull a good win before he's back in the running.-:octodad: Octodad did have a nice moment in which he showed his vicious side to AVGN, Tingle, AND the ref, but we should wait to see if he can get a good singles win as well. - Should be nowhere NEAR the Casual title, by my reckoning.Feel free to correct any mistakes/assumptions I made, and admittedly there aren't as many runners currently due to the whole turned into robots deal. |
