Fan Casting Fighting Champions: Maximum Rave

As an alternate retelling of the original Fighting Champions' plot, the story is roughly the same as with the original. As such, the game itself is not canon with the timeline of the main series. The World of Fighting tournament. The biggest fighting tournament in the world. Every year, many fighters from all over the world, each with their own reasons for participating, gather around in order to prove who is the strongest fighter of them all. Hosted by the Yakuza, this year, the winner of the World of Fighting tournament will be given a sum of $1,000,000 as the main prize, provided that they are able to defeat the current champion, the fearsome masked fighter known as "Kabuto", first. This year, nine fighters will enter the World of Fighting tournament, each seeking to prove their own strength against one another and become the strongest fighter in the universe. However, the question remains: Who will come out victorious?
