The match might not have been canon, but Palpatine quickly established he is in fact the ultimate shitheel by immediately turning on his tag team partner in the battle royale.

What kind of amiibos is Loki offering here? If he's packing Villagers and Wii Fit Trainers, I may be persuaded to help him out...

Oh, also Lucina. Gotta get all those FE characters before If comes out.

Fun fact, I actually found a Marth the other day.

If you know Loki at all you know that he always has all the amiibos. He may not readily tell you so in order to play up the rarity of them. I mean some of them are pretty rare but he's a legit businessperson and he knows how to sell poo poo. Especially special moves of his opponents.

I was gonna hand it to Punchy so he can have a rematch but he didn't really prove himself to be a worthy contender anymore I think.

gently caress it, let's just do a poll. It'll probably end up in a tie because everybody is voting for themselves but I don't care. I'll just roll dice in that case.
Who gets to fight Nuffkins for the LP Superstar Title next show?

The wrestlers are in the order I made them, they're not sorted by bias. Even though it may seem that way.

I am fine with the way the poll is going, because the PSP TEW Monday Night Wars thread was gonna do a clone Hogan storyline but it was dropped.

That being said I was gonna vote for Nuffkins, but Jumpy intervened and made me vote for myself because, and I quote:

Lesson I should have learned during the first broadcast of this incarnation: Never add a joke option unless you want them to go for it. They'll even claim they want the champion to be determined by rolling dice until you convince them a tournament is cooler (It's still technically dice rolling because that's how the game rolls).

Watching you try to count chat votes in the replay video (as I had RL commitments Saturday), I'm wondering: did you know Hitbox lets you create polls? You could let it do the counting that way.

E: also, could we maybe have more music audio next week? The second time someone pointed out there was no music, I realized I hadn't noticed.

I dunno, if we're not noticing the lack of music for that long, wouldn't that imply that it's not really necessary? Seems like skipping the music would save IGgy a little work. Between the commentary and the regular match audio, I don't think we really need a third layer of sound to enjoy the proceedings.

Weeeeeell, that's the thing. I'm not entirely sure we even have a second layer of sound. The LP commentators are very very loud and the other audios are very very not loud, to the point where if, halfway through, they just muted the game entirely, I'm not sure I'd notice. I, personally, put more value on music than on man-smacking noises, but on reflection I think the real problem is that the commentators need to bring their audio down a lot.

Man, this is kind of weird to read, because the game audio is SO LOUD when IGgy isn't talking. Like, when IGgy left right before the second non-canon match last stream, the audio was blasting to the point where I couldn't hear Nuffkins at all. We were yelling at each other because we literally couldn't hear each other otherwise.
It might be better to have IGgy not send the audio the way of the commentators. Have it be like most other streams, where co-commentators can't hear the game's audio at all.

FredMSloniker posted:

Yeah, that's an option if IGgy remembers. Failing that, I could create a straw poll or something and link that in the chat when it comes up.

You probably should turn off volume auto adjust in Skype, then. That may fix the problem. I have no ducking whatsoever enabled because I was never a fan of it.

All right guys, I've closed the poll, the Nuffster will not fight himself. But Emperor Palpatine. It was close though.
I'll post the Match Card for next Saturday right now, because there's a thing we're doing for every PPV. And that's betting!
We're using this google sheet here to make it easier. Of course, bets will be locked shortly before the show starts so you can't edit them as things are happening.

The prize for whoever wins this little betting game will be a steam game worth 20 € in the German steam storefront. (some games, very few, are only available in German, some others are censored. Others still aren't even available. If you pick such a game I'll let you know before making a purchase. Of course).
Normally I wouldn't spend 20 bucks on this but this is a special show. It's the Wrestlemania equivalent and the first PPV. Future PPVs will either have me spend less or completely different types of prizes (I can't think of any, to be honest. Maybe an avatar gift certificate or something, I dunno)

Also: Please don't be dicks and edit each other's bets because that would be a pretty big dick move and I don't appreciate those. If this is a thing that keeps happening this betting thing will become invite only, meaning you'll have to hand me your google+ account so I can easily check who does bad edits. But for now I hope this additional step won't be necessary. But hey, here's the match card!

#1 Semifinals - Last Man Standing
Sterv vs. anilEhilated

#2 Semifinals - Inferno Match
Loki vs. Big Scary Owl

#3 The Star Wars Extended Canon Match
Galen Marek vs. Dash Rendar

#4 The Annual Schir vs. IGgy I Quit Match!
Schir vs. IGgy

#5 Co-Commentary Title Bout
Beyond Face and Heel (Face and Midnightlight) (c) vs. Anti Anime Aggregation (Lazyfire and Immortan Joe)

#6 BFC is pissed at IGgy because of some lost eye and a shirt. No DQ
Talcott Cargo vs. IGgy

#7 LP Superstar Title Bout
Nuffkins (c) vs. Emperor Palpatine

#8 Kawaii Title Bout
Aurora (c) vs. DivineCoffeeBinge

#9 The LPFWA Title Bout
Winner of Match #1 vs. Winner of Match #2


Since the tournament will be officially over after this show I'll be able to more easily book matches with new guys or people we haven't seen that much yet.

The Pokeymanz title is actually based off the old WWF hardvore belt, so is defended 24/7. So it can change hands anywhere, anytime, as long as you beat the champ.

Hopefully this leads to two dudes fighting IRL for a fake video game belt.

You should be delighted to hear that I've arranged the show in such a way that your match will happen outside of story mode. This allows me to actually use team entrances. Now I only need to make good team entrances.
