Street Fighter vs I Wanna Be The Strongest In The World, two young girls who yearns to become professional wrestlers gets a chance to earn the title in a wrestling match
<Cue: Invader Theme>
Toomi: Every child will always have an idol to look up to, one that would push them to do their best
Megumi: And these two hot chicks just wanna be the strongest in the world
Toomi: Such as Rainbow Mika, professional wrestler from the Iwashigahama Japan Women's Pro-Wrestling organization,
Megumi: And Sakura Hagiwara, the co-lead vocalist for Sweet Diva, she's Sachi-san, Toomi-san and I'm Megumi-san
Sachi: And it's our job to analyse their weapons, armour and skills to find out who would win in a What if Battle
Rainbow Mika hip rushes into What if Battles
<Cue: Hip by MAMAMOO>
Toomi: Rainbow Mika was a Japanese junior high school student named Mika Nanakawa who recently graduated and decided she wanted to be a pro wrestler
Megumi: She later became the pupil of a woman named Harmageddon Youko who trained her in the sport later she thought of a marketing gimmick- traveling the world and engaging with other wrestlers.
Sachi: At one point in her career Rainbow Mika met her idol Zangief and later on she would later become his apprentice.
Toomi: Mika is primarily a grappling character, whose main weapons are high-priority command throws. Unlike most grapplers in the Street Fighter series (and fighting games in general), who are slow and heavy, Mika is fast and agile.
Megumi: Mika's normal attacks are diverse and useful, but aside from two command throws, her specials are none too impressive, so they must be used as a vital part of play strategy.
Sachi: In her Flying Peach and Shooting Peach specials, she flings herself into her opponent buttocks-first, and mostly falls on it and has to rub it due to recoil
<Shows footages of Rainbow slamming her butt into Vega's face>
Megumi: Now I know where I want my face to be in
Toomi: Her first V-Trigger, C'mon, Nadeshiko, enables her to be aided by her tag-team partner Yamato Nadeshiko. Depending on the direction pressed during activation, Nadeshiko will appear either in front or behind the opponent with a drop kick which sends their opponent airborne or above with a body slam, adding an additional hit.
<Shows footages of Nadeshiko throwing Vega in the air before both Rainbow and her runs up, slamming him between both their butts>

Toomi: Possessing incredible strength and combat abilities, Rainbow Mika is able to impress the likes of Karin Kanzuki and Zangief, with the latter even taking her as an apprentice
Megumi: She's also strong enough to grapple against a bear alongside Zangief, take on Laura in combat and even beat Birdie in a fight
Sachi: But one of the most impressive things she has done is taking a blow from Balrog. Now note that Balrog is strong enough to kill an elephant with a single punch, the very same animal strong enough to knock down trees, meaning they can withstand a force of at least 10,000 pounds.
Toomi: The strongest punch ever recorded comes from heavyweight champ, Frank Bruno, with a force of 1,420 pounds, a dangerous amount of strength, to be sure, but still only one seventh of Balrog's potential.
Feats
Rather lightweight for a grappling character
Became Zangief's apprentice.
Impressed Karin Kanzuki with her fighting skills.
Beat Birdie in a one-on-one fight.
Fought Laura Matsuda.
Took a punch from Balrog, and even staggered him.
Became a recognizable pro-wrestler
Defeated Poison
Megumi: And she did became a rather recognizable pro-wrestler in the end
Toomi: However, Rainbow Mika has a rather short attention span, getting easily distracted and sometimes gets carried away with performances
Sachi: And her specials are really nothing...special. Hee hee. See what I did there?
Toomi:...
Weakness
Kind of ditzy.
Easily distracted.
Gets carried away with performances.
Struggled wrestling a bear (until Zangief 's help)
Some of her attacks, particularly the Shooting Peach, leave her open to being punished.
Megumi: But regardless of that, I would definitely pay money just to watch this really thicc chick butt slam people's face some more!
Rainbow Mika: Alriiiiight! Let's begin!
Sakura wanna be the strongest in What if Battles
<Cue: Fighter by Christina Aguilera>
Toomi: Sakura Hagiwara is a pop idol and member of the fictional Japanese idol group Sweet Diva
Megumi: One day, however, a female wrestler named Rio Kazama beats up Elena Miyazawa, a fellow Sweet Diva member and Sakura's rival.
Sachi: To avenge Elena, Sakura is introduced to the Berserk Wrestlers team, of which Rio is a part of.
Megumi: And after a bunch of tough training and lots of wins and losses, Sakura eventually confronted Rio Kazama and this happened.
Announcer: Hagiwara has won! She took her rival down for the count!
Megumi: Good job Sakura, I knew you can do it.
Toomi: Being trained is wrestling, Sakura has learned techniques such as clinching, throwing, take downs, joint locks and pins, basically all the basic moves used in wrestling.
Megumi: She's strong enough to throw over her fellow women wrestlers, lock them in pins and won several matches against them as well
Sakura Hagiwara
Wrestling Skills
Hip Attack
Peak Level Strength
Peak Level Speed
Excellent Strategist
Peak Level Endurance
Toomi: In fact, one of the impressive things she has done for a girl her size and built is going through the "Hell of 100 throws" which is something that in real life, women must go through before becoming a wrestler except in the anime, she has to do that everyday.
Megumi: Damn, that has got to hurt.
Sachi: And her most impressive feat is defeating Rio Kazama, a wrestler who is a champion who has beaten her friend and even defeated her in their first match.
Feats
Defeated Rio Kazama
Became one of the most recognizable wrestlers
Helped Moe Kukuoa become better
Went through the "Hell of 100 Throws"
Toomi: But even going through that, she could never seem to get over the Boston Crab move.
<Shows footages of Rio pinning Sakura in the Boston Crab>
Sachi: Not only that but before she won her first match, Sakura has went through a rather long losing streak of 65 loses, and 50 of them were because of the Boston Crab
Weakness
Naive
The Boston Crab move
Lost against Rio in their first battle
Gave up her first 50 matches over the Boston Crab Move
Lost 65 matches
Megumi: But even with her weakness to the Boston Crab move, Sakura has nonetheless proven that she is more than capable of becoming the strongest.
Sakura: It was impulsive but I did become a wrestler because Kazuya made fun of Sweet Diva. So when she said it that it was a petty grudge, that's not far from the truth. I was so naive, I thought I could beat her and become an idol again, but that was not the case at all. It was a rude awakening, the world of wrestling is tougher than I ever imagined. I could not accomplish anything, I was too weak. I gave up in the ring and I started to give up on myself. But it worked the other way too, once I finally started getting stronger, I started tougher on the inside too and I longed for that feeling more and more. Now that I won my battle, I can put everything in respective. I know who I am now.
Toomi: Alright, the combatants are set, let's end this debate once and for all.
Sachi: Don't forget to vote, comment what you think of the fight.
Megumi: Yeah, but right now, it's time for a Death Battle!
Fight
<Cue: Wonder Woman Opening>
Wrestling Ring
In the wide stadium of the National Women's Wrestling Ring, people cheers out across the seats as the announcer announces out.
Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen, introducing our first combatant of the night, we have.....Rainbow Mika!
Cheers erupts across the stadium as Rainbow Mika steps out, she and Nadeshiko waves to the crowd as the wrestler steps up into the arena, blowing kisses to the audience.
Announcer: And coming up against her is the former co-singer of Sweet Diva, Sakura Hagiwara!
Audience: Hagiwara! Hagiwara!
The audience eagerly chants out as Sakura steps out, waving to her fans before stepping up into the arena, facing Rainbow Mika.
Rainbow Mika: Alright! Let's do this!
Sakura: Here I go!
Announcer: And let's rumble!!!
RING!!!
The loud clanging of the bell signals the starting of the match, prompting both Rainbow Mika and Sakura to sprint towards each other.
Announcer: Fight!
Rainbow thrusts her hip out, slamming buttfirst into Sakura's gut.
WHAM!!!
Sakura grits her teeth through the pain and she steps to the side, throwing a left hook across Rainbow Mika's face.
WHAM!!!
As Rainbow staggers back, Sakura dashes forward and she jumps up into the air, thrusting her legs out in a form of a jump kick.
BAM!!!
Rainbow Mika: WAAAHHHH!!!
Rainbow Mika screams out, falling backfirst onto the floor.
Cheers erupts across the stadium as Sakura smirks.
However to her horror, Rainbow simply jumps up, craning her neck as she says.
Rainbow: Not bad. But wait till you see what I can really do.
Both Rainbow and Sakura sprints towards each other, the two grappling and wrestling against each other.
Sakura swings her leg up, striking Rainbow Mika by the side before pushing her back.
As Rainbow staggers back, wincing in pain, Sakura runs up, turning around before thrusting her hip up, slamming into Rainbow.
WHAM!!!
Just as Sakura recoils back, Rainbow's eyes snaps open and she wraps her arms around Sakura, causing her to exclaim out.
Sakura: What?!
Rainbow flings her body back, throwing Sakura over her body before flinging herself butt first, slamming herself into Sakura's body.
BAM!!!
Sakura: AARRRGHHHH!!!
As Sakura cries out in pain, Rainbow wraps her arms around her, screaming out.
Rainbow: RAINBOW!!!
Rainbow then lifts Sakura up, slamming the Pop Star down onto the floor.
THOOM!!!
Sakura: ACK!!!
As Sakura winces in pain, Rainbow sprints forward and she calls out to Nadeshiko
Rainbow: Now!
Nadeshiko jumps over the ropes, running up just as the announcer says.
Announcer: What's that?! Nadeshiko has just jumped in! What's Rainbow up to now?!
Rainbow grabs onto Sakura, throwing her across the ring.
As Sakura is sent flying, Nadeshiko wraps her arms around her, catching her in midair.
Nadeshiko then spins around, throwing Sakura up in the air.
Rainbow dashes up, pointing her finger at Sakura.
Just as Sakura's body comes falling down, both Rainbow and Nadeshiko sprints forward and they flings butt first into Sakura's head.
BAM!!!
Announcer: And we're out for the count!
Rainbow: WHOO HOO!!!
Rainbow cheers out as she slams her body down over Sakura's shaking body, pinning her paralyzed opponent down as the announcer counts down.
Announcer: Three...two...one! You're out!
Cheers erupts across the stadium as Nadeshiko pats Rainbow by the back, causing her to smile and jump up, emerging triumph from her battle
KO!
<Cue: New Earth by Bruce Falconer>
Megumi: Now that's a wrestling match worth my money!
Toomi: Sakura is a pretty decent strategist and fighter but unfortunately, Rainbow dominates her completely in terms of strength
Megumi: I mean Rainbow herself could impress the likes of Zangief with her own set of skills, and that guy could wrestler against Grizzly bears whereas, Sakura could barely hold her own against lightweight women.
Sachi: Not only that, Sakura though has beaten the likes of Rio, she's sadly nowhere comparable to Balrog, who has killed elephants.
Megumi: There may not be an exact way to measure Rio's full strength, but her striking strength definitely doesn't look like it could match against Jessica Fithen, who in record is strong enough to push a van in real life
Toomi: And not to mention, Rainbow also has a very consistent win and loss record and even broken out of grapples from Zangief while Sakura just up until now can never break out of the Boston Crab
Megumi: Remember kids, don't buy crabs from Boston.
Sachi: It's not that kind of crab but you know what we mean
Toomi: Possessing greater strength, skills, speed and durability, this is what gives Rainbow Mika the victory in this match.
Megumi: Looks like Rainbow has just became the strongest in the world
Sachi: The winner is Rainbow Mika
Rainbow Mika: You lose! You've definitely got some moves, but you're nowhere near as cool as Master Zangief.
Toomi: Hey guys, thank you so much for checking out our battle in What if Battles 2.
