I'd say Protoman's too good to be going for Casuals considering it's just Kefka holding it at the moment, but then I'm a Wario mark.

Considering that the casual belt has been defended more often in things like ladder matches and tables matches, I think we're fine with throwing anyone at it as long as they're not absolute topcard.

All I know is that I hope Wario is given another chance sometime soon.

I wouldn't mind Protoman getting a casual shot.

As for tag team #1 contenders, I'd go with Aliens vs. Sonic and Knuckles.

I feel we're pushing Break to casuals because we're desperate for the Triple Crown. Shouldn't be forced, needs to happen naturally.
I mean, the guy was a 2K14 VGCW champ. There's been like what, 4 or 5 of those?
Toad totally seems like the next great casual contender. Push him to the moon, Toad/Kefka II needs to happen.

I don't know about that for the tag contenders. TJ+E are on a one match streak so I feel like they should have one more fight before going for contendership. Maybe against the Birds as they're also coming off a win, and then whoever wins that match can take on S&K.

So after the power rankings update... If Kanji beats Snake next week, put him into the next contender's match, cause holy shit, boy.

Power rankings don't equal individual strength unless you think that Arino can take on Scorpion.

Not that he isn't doing pretty damn well for himself.

He's only had two matches in the company. No need to push him to the moon so fast.

NOPE.
Kanji and contendership should hinge on what happens with Snake. If he pulls that off, that's two wins over two firmly established upper upper midcarders and a multiman sweep to top it off. That's enough to at least get a contender's match at that point.

It's tough thinking of other guys on a big streak after Toad shut down the push. Kanji is far from a lock over Snake so we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. Bison was doing great before his multi-man loss, Dante still has unspent credit despite his recent multi-man loss. Goemon's knocking on the door of the topcard. There's a lot of guys you could throw into the hat or make a decent case for contendership.

Toad vs Sabin for casual? Could do with some of the new blood getting in on the casual scene.

Besides, we only have one rocket, and that is currently property of DA BEST.

I'd also like to say maybe Dan should be in the mix for the big gold. Or at least be put in a match similar to Kanji/Snake to see if he deserves to be in the race.

How much ass did Dante need to kick to MAYBE get a title shot in the challenge tower? Kenjis got a ways to go.

People usually normalise around 5 matches or so and that gives you a good indication of where people lie on the card. Kanji's doing great so far but it looks like he is entering a sort of mini feud with the old man gen, Snake and Duke. Let's see how he fares against a certified badass top carder and Snake.

I like Kanji but yeah he need's at lest 3-5 more matches before we know where he really sits in the rankings.

If he ends up fighting and beating both Duke and Snake, then we have a discussion.
