Friendcast Clips: "Battle Royale Rumble!"

[@kiaayo]

Pat took 3 minutes to just sit there, quietly, contemplating, to create the perfect game.

[@maxxi4092]

Plotting his Gambit

[@ufofighter16]

Good thing too; if Pat wasn't insanely good at plotting, [Crazy Talk] would've killed him by now

[@Rockymann27]

I thought playstation had the first battle royale with playstation all stars.

[@jeffha3]

Woolie starts it off by saying you can’t just drop 100 wrestlers on an island, then Pat swoops in suggesting exactly that and the Zaibatsu falls in love with it. Pat should have been been a stock trader or at least in advertising.

[@HaaruteVODs]

6:26 When we're at the ring that's rapidly rising into the skies part, the clouds are going to gradually become a blurred version of a crowd and you're going to start hearing chants in the distance.

[@chuckles3116]

Alternatively, we could have a day/cycle, have each match start at noon, then reach nighttime as the ring grows smaller. Once it's reached a threshold, the game goes pitch black, and we hard cut to spotlights turning on, revealing the remaining contenders inside a proper ring, crowd immediately cheering.

[@Snazzy_Tomato]

and the spectators become the crowd

In order to keep the sanctity of a Battle Royale intact, Royal Rumble should allow the wrestlers to hide under the ring with folding chairs in hand.

[@Znijik]

One wrestler defeats 98 other wrestlers single handedly, and then Ric Flair just drops from the scaffolding to get a one hit K.O. with a chair while giving us the longest "WOOO!!!" of all recorded history.

[@Famygdala]

I would be totally be down for the dread lich Ric Flair to be the final boss.

[@oradrive745]

Your profile pic is the best ever

[@Ethzed]

Getting knocked out or rung-out gives you a (very low) chance to get put back under the final ring

[@NobleLucy]

I am SO disappointed that they didn't include some sort of wrestling move system, where you go around collecting wrestling magazines and wrestling posters to get wrestling moves. But the moves have rarity (i.e one backbreaker is level 2 which is weaker than a backbreaker level 4). Das free,Woolie. Das one's free

[@dankylicker5732]

Woolie, killing the vibe with the words "Ring Cube" and its boring description, somehow has the audacity to tell Pat to "hurry up" with his easily better idea.

[@noirerequiemii101]

Woolie got a big excite

[@chowellith]

Yeah, he was just excited

[@codafett]

It's fucking bizarre how Woolie was the most excited but also had the worst ideas.

[@patrickr.1433]

So wild that this idea actually will be coming out

[@KingKRinge99]

All the items are on at elevated places and are only accessible via a ladder. And there is a Money in the Bank briefcase that lets you instantly be one of the final few wrestlers on the ring at the end

[@tbotalpha8133]

Oooh, so basically a super-rare, one-time revive, that activates at the final ring. And when it activates, the game pauses for a moment as your wrestler appears, saunters up to the ring, and climbs in while their theme song plays.

[@09spidy]

Pat is dropping liquid hot GOLD here, goddamn what a game pitch.

I'm surprised non of them had the idea of the map being a wrestling venue, with areas like the parking lot, locker rooms, manager office etc. And instead of circle of death, the areas get turned into death zones a la Radical Heights, with the final zone always being the ring.

[@elijahnakumura4375]

EMWISE94 would be cool seeing 20 or so wrestlers just high tailing it to the main arena . Gathering weapons and grabbing refs along the way

[@alexisofthestars]

Rumbleverse: Origins

[@ARareChris]

I think a huge ring consisting of intertwining ropes and polls that make up 8 rings (4x4) would be fine. This would be be perfect for a 80 man and still enough to fit a 100 man wrestler battle royal.

[@leanlantern]

If any devoloper took notice of the zaibatsu, and made some of the shit they talk about, serious money could be had.

[@DubbleM900]

Addressing Matt from the beginning of the video, a battle royal is already a match type. The Royal Rumble is just a modified version of it, created by Pat Paterson. It's all the guys in the ring at the beginning of the match and then being eliminated by being thrown over the ropes. The Royal Rumble is a superior drip feed version of that.

[@silverroddo1468]

The barrier ropes will always be in a square, a squared circle if you will. Pat said there'd be Backyard style wrestling environments like fences, sheds, houses etc., but there is a zone called the "House of Horrors" neighbourhood where each house is a hardcore match zone. Also, somewhere on the map, you can take control of the Wyatt Compound, where you can recruit others to join your family as a temporary alliance so that you can't be targeted by said family members--and if you defeat enough wrestlers, you can summon lightning! You can find Undertaker's workshop to use coffins. You can use the Lex Express to get around. You can find a special suit called, The Shock Master, that allows you to crash through walls. There would be Perks in the form of Belts, if you are wearing a belt either from your loadout or, just received one from the map in a Ladder match where there be a belt suspended. However, Belts can also be found in Triple Cages, Lethal Lockdowns, Cells, Kennels From Hell Cells, etc, even from the Champions themselves that are on the map, you need a referee though.

If you win the time limited money in the bank event you can spectate any currently running match and at any time you can pull the trigger to cash it in and a big dumb entrance happens, no matter what state the match is in. Your wrestler runs down a huge ramp with their music blaring and you superhero land right in the middle of all the gassed finalists with full meter.

[@OldemarFIN]

Woolie's weird Mario Galaxy Cube world got me thinking about the movie Cube. Like the entire cube consists of smaller cubes made of rings and only once in a blue moon, when the ring cube you and your opponent are currently inhabiting is at the outmost layer of cubes, only then are you able to score a ring-out until you plummet back into the depths of the Time Ring Cube. Just typing this out made me feel the rush of Insight gained from Madman's Knowledge.

The real money left on the table is that they were calling it "Battle Royale Rumble" instead of "Royal Royale".

[@girla9480]

Ok listen hear me out. Refs don't get dropped by crates, refs get summoned. Each wrestler can carry a maximum of one ref whistle and starts out with one. The moment one wrestler hits another, a ring spawns around them. The ring disappears only when there is one wrestler left standing. Anyone can jump in an existing ring. Any wrestler inside the ring can summon a ref to rule on a submission hold, but that consumes the ref whistle he carries. If the ref rules in his favour, the ref remains as long as that wrestler keeps winning. Ref whistles are dropped like crates, but a bit more frequently. You can also jump out of the ring and run away, but that consumes one ref whistle. The death zone is a closing cage. Once 5 people are left standing, it becomes a proper wrestle stage 10km up in the air as Pat said. The cage actually pushes you, you physically cannot be outside it. So if you're in a ring and the cage pushes you out, you have a ring out and lose. This means that two people can be pushed out of a ring simultaneously and both lose.

[@darrianweathington1923]

Time to make another billion dollar IP

[@0rriAndroid]

No, there should only be one ref on the field but players have a set numbr of refs they can call in during a game that will function similarly to a supply drop

[@JogVodka]

I just imagine it being like the duelist kingdom in Yugioh where like everyone is dropped in an island and there's like rings literred all over the place. You go up to someone and go "hey I challenge you to a match let's go to the ring and settle this also bring in the ref". Anyone eliminated gets sent back on a plane while the winners just continue looking for the others before it's finally one man standing

[@WeirdBoySkuzag]

This is the most beautiful thing they've ever come up with

[@2x4noah]

[@EzPzLemnSqueezy]

There needs to be a face/heel dynamic you can pick for your wrestler. Faces do more damage by performing difficult technical moves, heels do more damage by using weapons, performing sneak attacks, nut shots, etc.

[@neednolife]

I love Pat at the beginning just deflated, like 'these idiots and their ring world'

[@brainflash1]

I had an idea similar to a wrestling battle royal. King of the hill on top of a multilevel cage, like a step pyramid. You get eliminated by being thrown off.

I'd play that battle royal, but only if the falling animation is an elbow drop

[@telathys]

Shoutout to Woolie wearing a Team Rocket shirt. Glad to know he's on our side.

[@crazytracks]

Something else to make the game work would be instances of matches that happen across the map randomly like pubg's red danger bombing zones. Get caught in one and now everyone in its radius is forced into something like a ladder match, climb or die losers. Also pick ups could just be the special moves of real wrestlers.

[@MrIronWar]

Woolie really needs to watch Tiger Mask W because in one of the episodes there a wrestler battle royal and a pyramid match where fighters fight to the top. Also there is a battle royal deathmatch where the final boss is a terminator wrestler robot. Im not making this shit up.

[@Snazzy_Tomato]

You can pick from a variety of different wrestlers and if you get a double pick they just change outfits

[@Snazzy_Tomato]

Also everyone gets a signature move that regens

[@unversedhero6028]

Imagine an island where there are rings of all kinds spread out across it, one is a cage, another is a ladder match, etc. Now, you can fight outside of the rings, BUT, you can only eliminate someone inside the ring. Of course instead of guns you can find chairs, tables and many different items across the map that you can use. There will also be different modes, one could be called Undertaker mode, think of the Thanos event, but with the Undertaker.

[@SoaringLettuce]

I'm bummed that none of them realized that at a point they started describing the fucking pyramid from Mortal Kombat Armaggeddon.

[@HateKeys]

Holy shit Matt I lost my shit at "Massive ring!"

[@KGZ1994]

Just have the wrestlers parachuted outside of the stadium itself. The ropes can still be the enclosing boundary, and just have all the Rustling shenanigans you'd see every time the cameras were outside the ring be the eliminations (i.e. chasing dudes around with a sledgehammer, running over fools in your golf cart, and gathering all your chairs/chains/ladders and etc). Then, the ropes force everyone into the stadium, where the fans have been waiting and cheer on the last few remaining wrestlers as they climb into the ring, with all of their gear in tow, for the final cage match.

[@slyfox1223]

Omg and what if there is a special item that is just a section of ropes that when it is placed near an opponent you will be able to do high damage moves like the 619 omg. And with customized moves and taunts. Custom characters is a must.AAAAAAHHHH AND SPECIAL DROPS CAN CALL IN SUPER CHARACTERS FOR SUPER MOVES. WHY AM I GETTING SO EXCITED!!!!!?????

[@ThisQuietKid]

in addition to finding weapons throughout the map, you can find special moves

[@StinkiiAlt]

[@andrei11dr]

[@torreben4379]

Dude, take a page from the Tiger Mask W anime and do a pyramid of rings. Then have the bottom floor collapse as time progresses.

[@chompytv8591]

Dead players can wait till the end of the match and become members of the audience. These players can throw in small weapons and have prompts to cheer for different players to provide very small heat power-ups.
