The man beat DK, I think that means enough to give Duke an honest try against Ganon.

After all his attempts to get over as a heel, I think Ganon might be on to something here.

I think this new "I'm better than everyone else here, you're all beneath me" angle is way better than his missteps last season.

Is Dracula going to demand a rematch? He should; the ending of that match was just bizarre. I'm starting to think the ref should search Ezio for weapons before he competes.

Hopefully baz will take this and run with it as a plot point, like he did with the mystery of the light switcher-offer. Matches against ezio always end in sudden and unexplained assassinations.

And that's a bad thing?



I even gave Kane Kane's intro, it's got the red-tinted everything so it's half-way to being a Command & Conquer 3 cutscene already! I don't have any good pictures of it, though.



Yuri gets the Undertaker's intro, and the tag team works really well with Brothers of Destruction (albiet with Kane in the Undertaker role to bring light to humanity, and Yuri in the Kane role to bring the fire).



Also, holy hell, I did a tag test of Kane & Yuri vs. Bowser & DK and Kane & Yuri actually won! Admittedly both Bowser and DK have a Tag Team score of, like, 1, but still. I'm going to run that again to see if it was a fluke because if they can do it consistently that's pretty impressive.

Edit: It was a fluke, they're now 1:3, but even that's pretty good against Bowser and DK. Kane really carries the team against lighter, faster people but against big, slow heavies it's Yuri who does all the work. They really complement each other well!

Kane and Yuri have a natural rivalry with Duke and Guile (not that they need another, but still). Mostly, I just want to see Yuri and Zangief sharing Cold War Stories (while Yuri tricks kind-hearted, gullible Zangief into acts of infamy) and Kane and Snake at odds with each other (because hey, Snake needs some genuine terrorists to fight).

Also, I wonder what Kane would make of the Chaos Emeralds? Probably he'd try to liquefy one and make a bomb out of it to attract some Alien Activity or something.

Edit: Also, the Jensen/Gaben scene practically writes itself.

Jensen: "What are you doing?! That man is a terrorist, why are you letting him into the VGCW?"
Gabe: "I dunno. He seems nice!"

Bazza agrees with you. He's apparently wrapping up Snake and Phoenix's stories with this season ("The Phoenix Cross") and things will be a lot more "fun" next season.

They weren't involved in the Dragon Balls thing but there was definitely continuation of their Season 4 falling-out in cutscenes here and there. Phoenix's had voices in his head for a long, long time now.

In the VGCW forums, he phrased it as "last time in a while" as opposed to never again. A "while" will probably be quite some time, though.

Well, I'm sorry I have to disappoint you. The Gunstars are still on my list, but I finally remembered that character I've been really, really wanting to make whose name I couldn't remember from the game I couldn't remember. It turns out the reason I was having trouble is because it wasn't a woman after all; which I really, really should've remembered given that the character is, well...

I got burnt out on CAW-making a while back, so to make it fun for myself again, I decided to just make a CAW from whatever game I happen to be currently playing.

Unfortunately in this case it was Dust: An Elysian Tail. I got admirably far into a Fidget the Nimbat CAW, but there is almost no way to make a passable non-human character in WWE '14, especially one with those head dimensions. Maybe if I went all-out on a ridiculously detailed mask, but it's a lot of effort for a character few would recognize and fewer would want.

Ahaha, holy poo poo that Richard is amazing. Besides Kane and Yuri, I think that Senator Armstrong someone made some time ago would work perfectly well with him as a "cabinet member".
