''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 (Video Game)|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 to next wave of fighters so 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 {{spoiler|Haohmaru of ''[[Samurai Shodown (Video Game)|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. The winner of the second tournament was {{spoiler|Guy of ''[[Final Fight]]''}} while the winner of the third was {{spoiler|Geese Howard of ''[[Fatal Fury]]''}}.

* [[Attack of the 50 Foot Whatever]]: The third tournament briefly brings us [[Marvel Comics|Apocalypse]], who is so big that he can't fit in the arena and it takes EVERYONE in the ring to get rid of him.
* [[Big Bad]]: [[Darkstalkers (Video Game)|Demitri]] in the second tournament; [[Street Fighter|M. Bison]] in the third.
* [[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.
* [[Berserk Button]]: Whatever you do, don't tell [[Marvel Comics|The Silver Samurai]] he sucks or even say the WORD around him. He [[Determinator|WILL destroy you]].
* [[Brainwashed and Crazy]]: [[Darkstalkers (Video Game)|Morrigan]] uses her succubus powers to brainwash several hapless fighters into serving her and fighting the heroes in both the second and third tournaments.
* [[Butt Monkey]]: The majority of the cast of ''[[World Heroes (Video Game)|World Heroes]]''.
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: [[Tekken|Yoshimitsu]]. He has a tendency to constantly make random quotes from pop culture.
* [[Did Not Do the Research]]: [[Darkstalkers (Video Game)|Morrigan and Demitri]] work together in the second and third tournaments when they are actually enemies.
* [[Extreme Omnivore]]: [[The King of Fighters|Chang Koehan]]. The third tournament also includes [[Super Smash Bros|Kirby]].
* [[Motor Mouth]]: Haohmaru and Genjuro of ''[[Samurai Shodown]]'' LOVE to talk. Every time either of them talk, they get at least three full lines of text.
