"If I lose I will set myself on fire."
All right, we have a Match card for tomorrow. You all voted to see a tournament, so that's gonna start. First round is a couple of Elimination Triple Threat matches. I actually rolled dice for the participants, but I also rolled dice to determine the match types because that apparently was something people wanted. You can find the tournament tree here. It looks really weird because I arbitrarily decided winners of which group will fight winners of which other groups before making the tree. But I'm sure you can still understand what's going on.

If you watched the above video you'll notice there's a couple matches that are 2 out of 3 falls. Upon testing those matches turn out to not really work as elimination matches. I swapped them for Finisher matches. Which means participants need to successfully execute a Finishing move to defeat an opponent. I set the Special meter build-up to slow

Match #1 - Buscus Title Match.
Fruitsniffer (c) - Interrupter Jones

Match #2 - Tournament Round 1, Group 1, Finisher Match Elimination
Face vs. Sterv vs. Frosty the Dragon

Match #3 - Tournament Round 1, Group 2, Finisher Match Elimination
Lazyfire vs. Danaru vs. Pyroi

Match #4 - Tournament Round 1, Group 3, Extreme Rules Elimination, Falls count Anywhere
Dash Rendar vs. anilEhilated vs. Mehuyael

Match #5 - Tournament Round 1, Group 4, First Blood Elimination
kalonZombie vs. Stichez vs. Succinct and Punchy

I'm amazed that I actually need to show up for the first round. You should have just passed me automatically to the next one and let these two have a taste of victory at least once before their eventual defeat.

Just gonna leave my predictions. The survivors will be Sterv, Lazyfire, Dash, Punchy, Junpei, Jones, Jobbo and Owl.

I will beat Sterv, Jones will interrupt Lazyfire, Dash will beat Jobbo and Owl will beat Punchy.

Me and Punchy will win in the semifinals, and then I will be crowned champion in what is sure to be the most anime match ever seen.

E: Why is Jones fighting for the buscus? He's undefeated and I thought we sent jobbers to fight for it.

Yeah I kind of gave up on seeing Meh win anything here when I saw he's going against Dash. But who knows, a possible scenario is Dash and Meh ignoring anil until Dash beats Meh, but Dash is weakened just enough for anil to sneak a victory out of nowhere.

This is how 90% of the elimination 3 ways I've seen in VGCW go. Although the finisher elimination matches should at least ensure the winner somewhat earns it.

Interrupter Jones interrupted Fruity's interview and IGgy promised him a chance to hug Jones. This is that chance. Just happens so that he has to fight for the Buscus that way.

Ahhhh okay fair enough, just do my second suggestion instead and have a dude that looks like Rorschach only with just the mouth covered if possible, not the whole head. Red hair and greenest-loving eyes.

Wait, how does a three-way First Blood Match work? Last one not bleeding wins? Does the first guy to bleed get kicked out and then it's a 1v1 match? Is the first person to inflict bleeding on an opponent the winner? What if it happens via a team-up? I am SO CONFUSED

Last one to not bleed is the winner, since this is an Elimination match.
If it weren't Elimination the first one to make someone bleed would win.

I wanted those to be elimination matches because Triple Threats can take a long time if they aren't, since the AI will interrupt pins and submissions and basically every attempt someone else has at winning. Normally not a problem, but if there's several Triple Threats it can easily bloat the show from 1:30 hours to 2 hours.

Just four. The show would take too long otherwise. There's always the option to add another if it turns out the matches go faster than expected.

Holy poo poo, that's amazing, how did you manage to get that face done? I had a lot of trouble getting even close to a lizard-like face for Lizard Wizard. I'd given up on getting anything that resembles it even slightly. The other ones are very good too.

Also: No offense on the Dedede comment, please. I tend to do things a little differently. Plus it gave me some inspiration on how to fix the face up a little (still gotta do that) because yours just looks much closer to actual Dedede.

I'm a bit slow to respond to this, but Ridley was made with very careful abuse of the head height/length/width sliders, the nose length, and the chin depth.
