MIGHT STATUS: TESTED [VGCW!]

WeedLordVegeta

Coming to you LIIIIIIIVE from Twitch, it's Video Game Championship Wrestling!

Your one stop shop for VGCW Info!

Streams will always be at this channel when it is time for THE NIGHT



Oh hey, I've been hearing a lot about this, gimme the rundown:
So, THQ's WWE games are...well, the AI is not great. But the creation tools are fun and that prompted a guy named Bazza to create the VGCW, a wrestling Federation composed primarily of game characters and personalities who fight it out for "prestigious" titles. The fights are AI vs AI, so Bazza has to roll with whatever outcomes happen.

So what's the specific appeal?
Really, it's how well this lunacy captures the spirit of wrestling. The storylines that Baz starts throwing together in Season 2 (which is where you should start, by the way), are hilarious, but it's still surprising how much you can get into a good old fashioned Rumble when a chronic loser starts showing promise (Badman!) A prime example of Baz having to roll with the punches is the current vacancy of the main title belt. Donkey Kong was stripped of his belt after it was revealed that his finishing move was glitched to do 100% damage to anyone. baz wrote this as DK using an illegal finisher.

Alright, I'll give it a shot, where should I start viewing?

There's a list on the wiki of every stream but if you want to comb through the archives yourself take a look at Bazza's official Twitch page. If you want to relive the magic of a stream, this dude has been archiving recent streams with the chat attached. And here's some older ones with chat!

About time someone made a thread.

I just recently got into this a couple of days ago, but I've been hooked. I've mainly been watching videos from this channel, since it has both the chat and voiced commentary: http://www.youtube.com/user/VGCRComms?feature=watch

The only problem is that they don't seem to have all the videos uploaded, as they reference "plot" that isn't shown here. Right now I'm just watching whatever matches seem interesting and not worrying about the overall story, but I wouldn't mind a video timeline that archived everything.

Also, I posted this in another thread, but this is the best match I've seen so far.

The music sync starting at 4:35 is a thing of beauty. Poetry in motion.

My favorite moment in VGCW, right here.

That looks great, but I also need a gif of Sonic taunting Eggman, to which Eggman tries to retaliate until Sonic blocks the attack and karate chops him.

Regarding tonight's stream:

TUESDAY IS DEAD.

Professor Snugglesworth

My favorite chat comments are whenever Gaben tosses someone out of the ring.

"Steam Sale on (insert game here)!"

WeedLordVegeta

Gabe's bear hug being named The Wallet Squeeze is my favorite VGCW thing

facetious

The table-san subplot is so ridiculous and dumb and somehow so funny. The chat freaking out any time a table, chair, or ladder is in danger is hilarious.

Radius

I love that Jey Uso gets more opportunities to wrestle in this than he does in the WWE, and is more popular in this than he is in the WWE.

CORNER OF DEATH is equally as amusing

Groose is the best wrestler in the whole entire world. After a long awaited debut, he appeared on 2013-03-19 in a First Blood match against Thomas. Groose showed all his pomp-adouring fans that he was, indeed, loose. However, the ref mistook Groose's hair gel for blood, and due to match regulations, Groose was awarded the loss after putting a fierce beatdown on Tingle.

I knew that match wasn't called fairly.

Being in the chat with this running live makes it one hundred times better

Which doesn't make any sense at all because mostly it's a goddamn shitfest of capslock but there's something about the energy there

Like, watch this starting at 2 minutes (the intro video for tonight's show), something about the chat attempting to time TONIGHT IS THE NIGHT in time with the music is so wonderful

Or maybe I'm just weird, hell

Nirya

#MASTERPLAN

Ledneh

Also I am infinitely amused every time Bison comes out and the chat starts yelling TUESDAY

Radius

That is the beautiful thing about the chat, when everyone is a stream monster, no one will be.

Nirya

My favorite is whenever Gary Oak comes out, and you just get FUCK YOU GARY repeated.

WeedLordVegeta

I'm really curious to see who takes Vegeta's Jobber Crown

interrobang

if Bazza doesn't get invited to do something fun for EVO this year

the world is cruel and unjust

WeedLordVegeta

psssst

nobody's in the plugdj room so I'm reairing the Casual championship match from tonight

THESPOOKY

I was just thinking about making a VGCW thread titled RUN BROTHERRRR.EXE

For me, VGCW got muddy when I found out he also doesn't create the characters, he just downloads them off the WWE 13 Online creation tool from other people. It's the PS3 version, and he's in the UK, so who knows how big that pool is. But I do wonder about stuff like balance and how strong certain characters are compared to everyone else.

@cooljammer00

I don't know about everyone else, but the fact that he doesn't make them himself makes it all the more fun to me. It's just another element of randomness thrown into the mix.

Nirya

This is seriously my new favorite thread.

THESPOOKY

The fact that no one knows who will win definitely sets it apart from actual televised wrestling.

WeedLordVegeta

Groose's entrance is perfect

TrippyJing

Okay, this is amazing and I wonder why I've never heard of it before.

@Munkus Beaver You ought to watch this latest episode because

MAJIN VEGETA

Radius

Oh my gosh, Sabin's wiki page has a complete count of every suplex he has performed.

Nirya

Sabin in Battle Royals is literally one of the best things.

Just the whole chat busting out SUPLEX COUNT: 3

Ledneh

I was just reading the google document and I noticed Ron Burgundy is on the list as a VGCW wrestler
