| Ultimate Video Rumble (Fanfic) | comment |
The Ultimate Video Rumble (or UVR for short) is a Mega Crossover tournament-style fanfic, taking characters from fighting games such as Street Fighter, The King of Fighters, Tekken, and Mortal Kombat 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 the next wave of fighters, whereupon 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 Haohmaru of Samurai Shodown.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 Guy of Final Fight while the winner of the third was Geese Howard of Fatal Fury (outside the tournament itself, the Bad Guys got beat both times overall).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.The story content of all three Rumbles can presently be found on Fanfiction.net: here, here, and here.Older archives and caches are more scattered and frequently require use of the Wayback Machine, but additionally include voting forms, vote tallies, author and voter comments, and FAQs: some can be found here, here, and here. And a message board used by the authors during the latter half of the third Rumble can be found here; it includes discussion and early drafts for each chapter, along with supplemental material for the never-released Ultimate Video Rumble 4.The UVR has inspired several spinoffs, but only a select few have seen completion. | |

Anyone Can Die | |
| Ultimate Video Rumble (Fanfic) / int_1237828f | comment |
Anyone Can Die: In the ring, anyone can literally get ripped to pieces... ...but then be magically restored to normal after their elimination, so this is technically subverted. An Explanation: The first UVR had the ring surrounded by a moat of acid from Mortal Kombat II. EVERYBODY who didn't win got a fatal acid bath (Except Larcen Tyler), but was later shown just fine in the stands. The second and third rumbles featured a Dimensional Barrier, which sent eliminated fighters into a random universe, usually right in front of something nasty. Like in the first, they were brought back to the dome in one piece (to continue with the subplot, of course). | |

The Giant | |
| Ultimate Video Rumble (Fanfic) / int_1ba1b4b9 | comment |
The Giant: Expressed in the "Big Guy" rules. The default number of eliminations per section is half the competitors in the ring (usually, ten out of twenty), but for each "Big Guy" present, that number goes up by one, to demonstrate that the Big Guy is wearing everyone down a lot more than usual. (There are also "Really Big Guys" who bump up the number by two.) A "Big Guy" isn't always literally big — overpowered competitors of regular size, such as most Final Bosses of their respective games, will have the same effect — but usually it's someone like Zangief, Motaro, or Hulk. | |

Aborted Arc | |
| Ultimate Video Rumble (Fanfic) / int_23698fa8 | comment |
Aborted Arc: With all the other artifacts and power sources up for grabs at the start of the third Rumble, the Soul Edge winds up forgotten and unpursued. Around the mid-point, the arc is hastily and officially closed with a comment that Cervantes went home early, blades and all. Also around the mid-point (more specifically, when the new batch of authors join), the entire ''Iron & Blood'' faction calls it quits before half of them have even entered the ring. (The writers wanted to make room for some extra mystery fighters that were more interesting, but whose games didn't exist when the roster was first assembled.) | |

Lethal Joke Character: Kirby nets five eliminations in the third Rumble, placing him in the top ten performances of the night. Other mystery entries of the "what are they even doing in the ring?" type are also surprisingly likely to manage at least one kill, due to getting votes out of sheer amusement. | |

| Ultimate Video Rumble (Fanfic) / int_3be94971 | comment |
Glory Seeker: Geese Howard abandons his MacGuffin hunt in favor of trying to win the third Rumble and show an audience of millions that he's the greatest fighter in the multiverse (and, as a bonus, have fun beating the tar out of everyone in his way, without consequence). And he succeeds, and even has a chance to mock Bison for sticking to the Evil Plan and failing badly. Given that his earlier plan would have made him a Physical God, this change in priorities is an improvement for all concerned, although he's still a gloating Jerkass every step of the way. | |

Blessed with Suck: Anyone enhanced by the Ore. In their own universe, they might be the most powerful beings around, but in the Rumble, they're surrounded by fighters with near-equal power and far more skill (and public respect). Hence the chanting. When Rancid gets exposed, he finds it a curse, power boost not withstanding. | |

What Could Have Been | |
| Ultimate Video Rumble (Fanfic) / int_453871ec | comment |
What Could Have Been: Due to the votefic nature of the Rumbles, the writers didn't have full control over how things turned out, and planned for multiple possibilities. Author notes from the third Rumble (linked above) reveal, for example, that: Had Doctor Doom's team failed to take out the demonic alliance, the demons would have fallen to in-fighting in a later bonus fight, with the winner taking the lead for the "sacrifice people" scheme. Morrigan, meanwhile, would have probably sat that arc out. The writers had designated her as the "villain-on-standby" to take over any evil scheme that the original participants had sufficiently botched, so she could have conceivably involved herself in any of them, depending on which needed the most help. Had Drew beaten Ran-Cid, he would have attempted to draw the Ore out for himself, only for the power of it and the Mace to collectively destroy him. Had Geese Howard been eliminated (at any point) instead of winning the tournament, he would have landed in Marvel vs. Capcom: Clash of Super Heroes right in front of US Agent, who would have taken the opportunity to do what Steve Rogers could not. Had Geese been eliminated from the ring early enough, he would have continued collecting the Infinity Gems with Bison. At some point, the two would have fought it out for sole possession of the Gems in a bonus fight, which would have decided who would go on to become the Big Bad of the finale. And had the winner of that fight been Geese, King likely would have been the one to face him in the final showdown, or at least the one to save the day had Alex lost the fight itself. | |

Characterization Marches On | |
| Ultimate Video Rumble (Fanfic) / int_479f9ad0 | comment |
Characterization Marches On: Due to the sheer number of characters involved, the authors give many of them fairly generic personalities in the first and even second tournaments, developing their nuances and/or quirks in the later outings. For example, the Geese Howard in the first Rumble is sniveling and underwhelming, especially compared to the confident crime boss seen in the third. There are also meta-examples where later games reveal the characterization doesn't match the canon. One example: Morrigan and Demitri work together in the second tournament, written long before anybody found out that they are actually enemies. (Others, like Yoshimitsu, deliberately deviate from the official personality just to make them more interesting.) | |

Butt-Monkey: The majority of the cast of World Heroes. 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 Iron Butt-Monkey. Also in UVR 3, the War Gods. As an example, Tak only manages to survive for two whole seconds before Juggernaut punches him so hard that he explodes. Yes, you read that right. TWO SECONDS. In all three UVR's, every Time Killer except Rancid... ...at least until UVR 3, when he is eliminated relatively quickly compared to his last two outings. | |

Police Are Useless | |
| Ultimate Video Rumble (Fanfic) / int_59907e4f | comment |
Security Is Useless: Rumble security, for the most part, is grossly understaffed for the threats outside the ring, and does more harm than good by preventing the heroes who could actually stop the villains from organizing and pursuing effectively. They occasionally do help, but only when their biggest guns aren't tied up elsewhere. | |

| Ultimate Video Rumble (Fanfic) / int_61b8f9e2 | comment |
Bunny-Ears Lawyer: Several fighters have amusing behavior quirks, either canonically or added by the writers. If they're sufficiently entertaining, they also prove to be especially skillful in the ring because the voters keep them in longer just to see what they do next. This particularly explains the respectable showings of Athena, Silver Samurai, and Wan-Fu in the second Rumble, Yoshimitsu and Kirby in the third, and Haohmaru in all three. | |

Gilligan Cut: Towards the end of the third tournament, The Incredible Hulk decides to take on Geese Howard. He charges at Geese... and we cut to OutRun, with Hulk bellowing in rage. (He then decides to hitchhike to the nearest town. Cue this.) | |

Calling Your Attacks | |
| Ultimate Video Rumble (Fanfic) / int_71bd62b9 | comment |
Calling Your Attacks: Many, many fighters do this in all three tournaments, carrying this over from their respective games. Handily for the authors, this is a good substitute for writing out a visual description of the move: the reader doesn't need further details to picture what happens when someone shouts, e.g., "HADOUKEN!" | |

Noble Demon: Doctor Doom. While he generally has his own self-serving plots going on, he also has several lines he will not cross (especially related to the demonic/souls), and honors his promises and debts. He's actually on the side of the heroes for the duration of his time at the second Rumble, albeit one who needs to be pulled back from some pragmatic solutions. (And in turn leverages that assistance into some Villain with Good Publicity persuasion in the third Rumble.) | |

Schrödinger's Gun | |
| Ultimate Video Rumble (Fanfic) / int_76c72a08 | comment |
Schrödinger's Gun: The author notes from the third Rumble reveal that some (though not all) bonus fights had predetermined ultimate outcomes regardless of how the votes fell, in order to keep the plot moving in roughly the desired direction. If the wrong person lost, they would be KO'd as per the vote, but a nearby ally would save them and/or accomplish their goal for them. (The outcomes in the ring, however, were always decided purely by the votes, and sometimes influenced events outside the ring by determining who was available to participate at all.) | |

| Ultimate Video Rumble (Fanfic) / int_7bfa91bf | comment |
Failure Gambit: It's not uncommon in the second and third Rumbles for someone inside the ring to decide they need to deal with something outside the ring, and therefore deliberately try to get eliminated. When Geese doesn't do this in the third Rumble, despite supposedly managing a criminal conspiracy that could use direction, it's the first sign that his priorities have changed. | |

Humiliation Conga | |
| Ultimate Video Rumble (Fanfic) / int_890d4ef2 | comment |
Humiliation Conga: EDDY GORDO. Let's recap: To start, Eddy gets eliminated in the first round and is sent to Quake II. He dies at least 43 times in the span of 10 minutes. Immediately after Eddy's elimination (but before the aforementioned Curb-Stomp Battle), 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 Silent Hill. He is promptly slaughtered by demons. Then it's on to ChuChu Rocket!. He defeated all of the cats, and was on his way to the rocket... and then True Ogre drops in (see Took a Level in Badass below) and starts bleeding. And then the mice start drinking the blood. What happens next ain't pretty. After 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. 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... only to get stabbed in the back by Shredder. Finally, he gets into a massive brawl with Chang Koehan that spills into multiple worlds throughout the final rounds. It ends when, in the world of Twisted Metal: Black, 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). | |

Laser-Guided Karma: Mystery Fighter Hol Horse in the third Rumble. He used his Stand to distract other opponents, eliminated two fan-favorite characters (Kirby and Yoshimitsu), and shot 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 Mitsurugi jumped into the elimination portal after him and killed him in a duel. (See Duel to the Death above.) | |

And then the one who seals his fate is Sasquatch, with a clutch ice laser. | |

Took a Level in Badass | |
| Ultimate Video Rumble (Fanfic) / int_9bcd82c0 | comment |
Took a Level in Badass: 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 Shuma-Gorath (let me say that again: CHANG KOEHAN defeats, cooks and EATS SHUMA-GORATH). Afterward, he enters the ring, scores an elimination (against TRUE OGRE) and spends the rest of the tournament demolishing unusual opponents in different worlds. And he did it all in a comedic fashion. | |

Haohmaru, whenever he talks (and boy, does he TALK), tends to include the words "HA!" and "Legendary". "I'M NUMBAHHHH ONE!" — Muscle Power and Brian Battler. In UVR 3, Kenshi begins almost every sentence with "Now, I may be blind..." | |

Normal Fish in a Tiny Pond: The reason why great warriors of history and even superpowered immortals are getting thrashed by "regular" martial artists and even schoolgirls: the level of fighting prowess common in some worlds is just that much better. Even the weakest fighters there Had to Be Sharp just to compete at all; as a consequence, they can stand toe-to-toe with the best from the other worlds, who have only each other for practice or comparison. (That's the Watsonian reason, anyway. The Doylist reason is that the winners are decided by reader vote, and absolutely no one cares about Tak.) | |

Cerebus Syndrome / Growing the Beard: The first Rumble is simply a free-for-all between the fighters of numerous universes, for no justification beyond the Rule of Cool. The second Rumble keeps that element, but adds backstage plotting which eventually converts the story from no-stakes action-comedy to multiverse-threatening action-drama; the third Rumble follows that pattern. | |

An Arm and a Leg | |
| Ultimate Video Rumble (Fanfic) / int_d028e0da | comment |
An Arm and a Leg: In the first rumble, possibly as a nod to the Time Killers being represented, the fighters could lose their arms and still continue fighting if they could. That said, the only one that benefited from this was Chun-Li, whom managed to score several eliminations despite losing both arms due to her reliance on kick-based moves. | |

Super-Power Meltdown | |

Had Drew beaten Ran-Cid, he would have attempted to draw the Ore out for himself, only for the power of it and the Mace to collectively destroy him. | |

Expy / Shotoclone: The similarities between Ken Masters and Ryo Sakazaki, and between Robert Garcia and Dan Hibiki, are inevitably lampshaded once each pair meets. Ken takes the resemblance personally, accusing Ryo of deliberately ripping him off. Robert and Dan, however, feel kinship from the resemblance and remain in contact (somehow) between Rumbles. | |

Heel | |
| Ultimate Video Rumble (Fanfic) / int_e54325c9 | comment |
Heel: Of multiple varieties: There are plenty of literal Monsters, particularly from Darkstalkers. Some are actually good guys, but many are not and get the heel treatment. The War Gods, with their unwarranted pride in the power of their node, fill the role of the Foreigners. Hol Horse adopts the classic heel role, as a prideful coward who repeatedly cheats through help from his partner in the audience. He also gets his eliminations off of fan favorites and then taunts the booing audience. | |

Big Damn Heroes: The second and third tournaments each had a ragtag group of characters joining forces to take down the Big Bad just before the evil scheme is about to be complete. | |

Inevitable Mutual Betrayal | |
| Ultimate Video Rumble (Fanfic) / int_f1a6c4f8 | comment |
Had Geese been eliminated from the ring early enough, he would have continued collecting the Infinity Gems with Bison. At some point, the two would have fought it out for sole possession of the Gems in a bonus fight, which would have decided who would go on to become the Big Bad of the finale. And had the winner of that fight been Geese, King likely would have been the one to face him in the final showdown, or at least the one to save the day had Alex lost the fight itself. | |

Spirited Competitor: The motivation of most of the heroes for participating, at least before they get dragged into stopping whatever the villains are up to. Geese Howard develops into one in the third Rumble, by choosing to fight in the ring to the end at the expense of his schemes. | |

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 Athena, but in the third, it happens to RYU. | |

Running Gag: 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 Athena, but in the third, it happens to RYU. The second rumble had a habit of sending many fighters to the Smurf Village. Naturally, they came to complain about it before the third. So the organizers put them in miniaturized Virtuaroids and hired them to be security. Someone trying a jump attack on Kim Kaphwan and getting mocked by Joe and Terry when a Hienzan inevitably sends them flying out of the ring. Until the Hulk tries and proves too hefty for Kim's counter. | |
