History FanFic / UltimateVideoRumble

** [[{{Tekken}} Eddy Gordo]] in UVR 3. Probably a bigger Butt Monkey than the World Heroes, the War Gods, and the Time Killers ''combined''. He might also be classified as an IronButtmonkey. Let's recap:
*** To start, Eddy gets eliminated in the first round and is sent to ''VideoGame/QuakeII''. He dies at least 43 times in the span of 10 minutes.
*** Immediately after Eddy's elimination (but before the aforementioned CurbStompBattle), a terrorist organization raises an insanely large amount of money to create the "Keep Eddy Gordo Dead" fund. Birdman uses the money to keep Eddy circulating between video game worlds for the rest of the evening.
*** His next destination is ''VideoGame/SilentHill''. He is promptly slaughtered by demons.
*** Then it's on to ''VideoGame/ChuChuRocket''. He defeated all of the cats, and was on his way to the rocket... and then [[{{Tekken}} True Ogre]] drops in (see TookALevelInBadass below) and starts bleeding. And then the mice start ''drinking the blood''. What happens next ain't pretty.
*** After [[{{MaceTheDarkAge}} Grendal]] is eliminated, he lands in ''{{Who Wants To Be A Millionaire}}''. Take one guess as to who's playing with Regis before Grendal kills everything in the studio.
*** [[{{WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1987}} Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]] is the next stop on Eddy's journey of pain. He manages to break into the Technodrome, eliminate every last Foot Ninja, and even manages to kill Krang, Rocksteady, ''and'' Bebop ''at the same time''. Eddy celebrates his long-awaited good fortune...[[spoiler: [[{{Anticlimax}} only to get stabbed in the back by Shredder.]]]]
*** Finally, he gets into a massive brawl with [[TheKingOfFighters Chang Koehan]] that spills into multiple worlds throughout the final rounds. It ends when, in the world of ''TwistedMetalBlack'', [[spoiler: Eddy is crushed by a belly flop from Chang.]]
*** According to the epilogue, Eddy died ''364 times'' throughout the night. He suffered so much psychological damage that he hired a lawyer to sue the UVR organizers for breach of contract (a fighter can only die once after being eliminated, according to the contracts).

** In the second UVR, six fighters land in the ''VideoGame/DungeonsAndDragons:Tower of Doom'' game in the same round... and nothing happens. Birdman, the head UVR organizer and announcer, is told that the fighters have been sent there because something big might happen in the next few minutes. Cue the gigantic dragon that incinerates five of them in one blast. [[SamuraiShodown Wan-Fu]], however, pummels the crap out of it.

* DuelToTheDeath: [[SoulCalibur Mitsurugi]] vs [[JojosBizarreAdventure Hol Horse]]. Occurs because Mitsurugi is jealous that Hol Horse, an inexperienced cowboy, is doing much better than people who are skilled with swords.

* LaserGuidedKarma: Mystery Fighter [[JojosBizarreAdventure Hol Horse]] in the third Rumble. [[spoiler: He used his Stand to distract other opponents, eliminated two fan-favorite characters ({{VideoGame/Kirby}} and [[{{Tekken}} Yoshimitsu]]), and shot [[MarvelComics Captain America]] in the gut.]] It was inevitable that he would be eliminated in a quick and painful manner. It got even more painful when [[SoulCalibur Mitsurugi]] jumped into the elimination portal after him and killed him in a duel. (See DuelToTheDeath above.)

** PlayedForLaughs in the third tournament, where [[{{X-Men}} Rogue]] kisses Haohmaru, borrowing his samurai skills, but also his ability to talk loud and long. HilarityEnsues.

** The second rumble had a habit of sending many fighters to the [[{{Smurfs}} Smurf Village]]. Naturally, they came to complain about it before the third. So the organizers put them in miniaturized [[VirtualOn Virtuaroids]] and hired them to be security.

The second and third tournaments added a side story to the tournament, and how several of the games' villains were pooling their resources together to pull off some evil scheme that somehow involved some of the other characters in the tournament. These subplots included additional fights that happened "backstage", the outcomes of which were also voted upon. The winner of the second tournament was [[spoiler:Guy of ''FinalFight'']] while the winner of the third was [[spoiler:Geese Howard]] of ''VideoGame/FatalFury'' (the Bad Guys got beat both times overall, too).

--> "More eliminations than the {{World Heroes}}, [[FatalFury Fatal Furites]], {{Eternal Champions}}, and [[VirtuaFighter Virtua Fighters]] *combined*." - Rancid's "WHAFU**?" AWARD from the first tournament.

** "I'M NUMBAHHHH ONE!" - [[WorldHeroes Muscle Power]] and [[KingOfFighters Brian Battler]].

* KilledMidSentence: This happens to [[WorldHeroes Muscle Power]] in the first torunament. Within ''seconds'' of entering the ring.

** Because of what he tried to do in the previous tournament, the UVR organizers "randomly" draw Demitri Maximov as the first entry. Guess who almost everyone decides to go after for the first few rounds.

Responsibilities of the tournament traded hands several times over the course of the three fanfics and it appears that the third tournament has been the last. In addition, the site that originally contained the tournaments has since gone down, taking them with it (it can still be found on the WaybackMachine [[http://web.archive.org/web/20020814104104fw_/http://www.tekken.nu/fightermania/uvr/uvr.htm here]], at the moment, but it died before the third tournament completed). [=UVR2=] is still available in its complete form [[http://www.slack.net/~arctic/rumble.html here]] for now, again alongside a partial [=UVR3=]. And the closest thing to a complete [=UVR3=] can be found, again, on the WaybackMachine [[http://web.archive.org/web/20050907040737/http://www.rit.edu/~gjj2192/hol/uvr/ here]] (maddeningly, only the finale and epilogue are missing). There are also additional caches scattered around containing bits and pieces of all three tournaments.

* AuthorAvatar: The organizers and staff of the rumble.

* BigBad: [[VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}} Demitri]] in the second tournament; [[StreetFighter M. Bison]] in the third.

* BerserkButton: Whatever you do, don't tell [[MarvelComics The Silver Samurai]] he sucks or even say the WORD around him. He [[{{Determinator}} WILL destroy you]].. Also, don't call [[VideoGame/WorldHeroes Ryoko]] cute (she ''[[{{Moe}} is]]'', but never ever say that to her face).

** Many of the voter responses throughout all three UVR's also qualify.

** [[Videogame/PowerStone Falcon]] entrs as a Mystery Fighter in the third tournament, promptly turns into his super mode and blasts everybody in the ring with his arsenal. The instant the power wears off, however, everyone else promptly beats him down.

** [[{{Tekken}} Eddy Gordo]] in UVR 3. Probably a bigger Butt Monkey than the World Heroes and the Time Killers ''combined''. He might also be classified as an IronButtmonkey. Let's recap:

* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: [[{{Tekken}} Yoshimitsu]]. He has a tendency to constantly make random quotes from pop culture.

* TookALevelInBadass: [[TheKingOfFighters Chang Koehan]] in the third tournament. After spending the first two tournaments getting the lowest number of votes, his popularity skyrocketed in the third, which starts after a side battle concludes in him eating [[Comicbook/DoctorStrange Shuma-Gorath]] (let me say that again: CHANG KOEHAN ''defeats'', '''cooks''' and '''EATS''' SHUMA-GORATH). Afterward, he enters the ring, scores an elimination (against [[{{Tekken}} TRUE OGRE]]) and spends the rest of the tournament demolishing unusual opponents in different worlds. [[BunnyEarsLawyer And he did it all in a comedic fashion]].

* DidNotDoTheResearch: [[VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}} Morrigan and Demitri]] work together in the second and third tournaments when they are actually enemies.
** More HilariousInHindsight. This was written in the late 90's/Early 00's, when there was little research to be had.

* SecondPlaceIsFirstLoser: [[spoiler: [[{{VideoGame/Darkstalkers}} Bishamon]], who was the final elimination in both the first and second rumbles.]]

* BerserkButton: Whatever you do, don't tell [[MarvelComics The Silver Samurai]] he sucks or even say the WORD around him. He [[{{Determinator}} WILL destroy you]].

* MotorMouth: Haohmaru and Genjuro of ''SamuraiShodown'' LOVE to talk. Every time either of them talk, they get at least three full lines of text.

* NoIndoorVoice: Haohmaru again. All of his text is done in '''bolded letters'''.

* RunningGag: The second and third tournaments involve one character ingesting a large amount of medication, leading to comedic hallucinations. In the second tournament, it happens to [[TheKingOfFighters Athena]], but in the third, it happens to [[StreetFighter RYU]].

* TookALevelInBadass: [[TheKingOfFighters Chang Koehan]] in the third tournament. After spending the first two tournaments getting the lowest number of votes, his popularity skyrocketed in the third, which starts after a side battle concludes in him eating [[DoctorStrange Shuma-Gorath]] (let me say that again: CHANG KOEHAN ''defeats'', '''cooks''' and '''EATS''' SHUMA-GORATH).

''The Ultimate Video Rumble'' (or UVR for short) is a MegaCrossover tournament-style fanfic, taking characters from fighting games such as ''StreetFighter'', ''VideoGame/{{The King of Fighters}}, ''{{Tekken}}'', and ''MortalKombat'' and pitting them against each other in a huge contest in a competition not unlike a Royal Rumble found in professional wrestling. Basically, each "Section" is made up of the twenty people currently in the ring, and the reading public votes on which ten people will stay in the arena to welcome to next wave of fighters so the public can vote again. This continues until there is only one left.

The first tournament was strictly a tournament, having no interaction between characters outside of the ring. This tournament also consisted of the smallest roster of the three (around 120 characters), and the eventual win went to [[spoiler:Haohmaru of ''SamuraiShodown'']].

* ButtMonkey: The majority of the cast of ''WorldHeroes''.

* BigBad: [[{{Darkstalkers}} Demitri]] in the second tournament; [[StreetFighter M. Bison]] in the third.

* BrainwashedAndCrazy: [[{{Darkstalkers}} Morrigan]] uses her succubus powers to brainwash several hapless fighters into serving her and fighting the heroes in both the second and third tournaments.
