KWCE Match Trivia
Same as the thread in the main KWC forum, post neat little facts about matches you’ve written.
I’ll come back later when i’ve remembered more stuff, but here’s one for now.
- The detail of Orochi being awoken by a cult was partially inspired by the fanfic Godzilla vs Cthulhu by C.L. Werner. I had read the story recently, and even though Cthulhu already had a cult in the original novel, I liked the idea of cults and kaiju mixing.

Re: KWCE Match Trivia
Legendary Godzilla was originally going to be much more antagonistic and mean-spirited in Godzilla (Showa) vs Godzilla (Legendary). He would have had an attitude of strength is what matters above all else, shaped by an encounter he had with an older member of his species millions of years ago which would have slowly been revealed over the course of the match.
To abridge things, Legendary Godzilla as a young adult ventured out to claim his own territory, only to end up in a territory dispute with a fully grown Godzilla (implied to be Adam, or Dagon as he’s apparently called now). Legendary Godzilla would have gotten his shit kicked in, only for a pair of MUTOs to arrive and attack the two, allowing LPG to escape as they murder Adam (keep in mind I wrote the match before Aftershock).
However, I couldn’t figure out a way to properly wrap that up in a way that still fit the match, and I discovered the match was way better paced without all of this. And also in hindsight, it would have been real out of character for Legendary Godzilla, so overall, I think I made a good choice in scrapping it.

that was an interesting idea.

Re: KWCE Match Trivia
Godzillasaurus vs. Gorosaurus Round 2 is to the original match what Godzilla vs. Kong is to the 62 film. First one ended in a draw,and this is the definitive winner! Of course i'm not gonna spoil who wins though.

Re: KWCE Match Trivia
Alright so Match 53 actually had a couple different endings planned. My first one was having all three of the Guardian Monsters win and stop Godzilla but i figured the story needed some tragedy, so i decided to let one of them die in a sacrifice. Then, rewatching GMK made me realized that "Oh yeaaah, Baragon's ghost can power them up!" so i let it be him to bit the dust... or atomic ray in this case.
The arena went through a couple of changes as well. I already said i almost accidentally set it in Hong Kong, but once it moved to Japan it switched rapidly. First it was Mount Fuji but i thought it would be too similar to Match 12. Then i moved it to Tokyo but i thought that was overdone, so then i set in Yokohama because it only appeared in one other match and as reference to the actual film.

Re: KWCE Match Trivia
Fun (Maybe) Fact: originally, Match 69 was just gonna be Palkia vs Rodan, but as I went along I thought about how much cooler it would be if Dialga joined the rumble as well. And a few days later, as I was sitting in a ski lodge to rest and continued writing, the idea that it would only make sense that Giratina would also join the chaos came to my mind, so I decided to write him in as well.
Thus, it evolved from Rodan vs Palkia, to Rodan vs Palkia and Dialga, to Rodan vs the entire Creation Trio.

Re: KWCE Match Trivia
Okay, about to revive this thread now that Match 109 has been uploaded. But since people are probably still trying to catch up with it, everything about the match itself will be in spoilers.
I wanted to make a Stan Winston Godzilla fight for a good while, and it was almost always him against another version of Godzilla. The very first one I made was him vs. 2002 Godzilla. It took place in the Kiryu Saga continuity, and started in Antarctica after the American Godzilla was discovered in the ice. Then KiryuGoji broke free from Kiryu's grasp, went over there and found out where American Goji was, then they fought in Antarctica, then the fought in the main Pacific Ocean and then they had a final battle in Las Vegas-
Okay you can probably see why I scrapped all that. It was needlessly long and complicated for something that should have been pretty simple story wise. I had gotten far enough that ShinGojira actually made a banner for me... Which I no longer have because I lost it when my old computer monitor died and got a new one. (He might still have it though, IDK)
Eventually, I had decided to just put him up against one of the other American Godzilla's, but both Zilla and MonsterVerse Godzilla didn't really get too far because I felt like there wasn't a whole lot to them beyond the novelty. Though the MV Goji idea in particular was the start of potentially setting the match in New Kirk City, which stuck...
A bit after that, I was exploring the cutting room, saw that a Heisei vs. TriStar movie featuring Stan Wintson's Godzilla was being planned and thought "Hey, why don't I just do that!?" and I finally had an idea that stuck.
Now, to the ending..
For one final tidbit, this was not the first Godzilla mirror match I wrote for the K.W.C.E. That said, it will also not be part of the ongoing emptying of the catalogue. Let's just say it had a bit of a promotion...

Re: KWCE Match Trivia
That’s an interesting amount of trivia! Part of me wishes we got to see that ‘94 vs KiryuGoji concept; it sounds like they were gonna absolutely hate one another.
Can’t wait to see what the next mirror match is gonna be…

Re: KWCE Match Trivia
Oh yeah, I almost forgot! Does anyone remember the "Godzilla vs. Koopzilla" fan film from 2014? There's a reference to that in Match 109! Rewatch the fight scene from Koopzilla and you might catch it!

Re: KWCE Match Trivia
So uh
Match #119 is ass. I'm just saying it straight up. Not only that, it was the first K.W.C.E I ever worked on. And I apparently can't even remember actually working on it beyond all of that, that's how little I actually remember working on it. Going by my Deviantart account, it's just about five years old, uploaded over there in August of 2019 (though I might have completed it earlier), and was some of my first writing work in general. Maybe that's why it's aged so damn poorly. (those commas are embarrassing.)
The only good thing that came out of it was this banner by Ditto. Truthfully, his skills should have been saved by a much better piece of work.
