"Strangely, Wrench seems rather confident about this upcoming match all of a sudden. I wonder why?" - Ikamon

Preshow character #02 - Wrench
Woah, who the hell is this? Wrench from the Bup Ciphers lore is attempting to join the Low Budget Tournament, first try! Sporting stuff related to general building, his "naturally" good luck, and a callback to his roots, he's fairly confident that he'll not only get in, but also take the tournament.

"The golem got really freaked out after The Runaway Guys were in the console a while, and ended up punting it across the arena, smashing it and freeing everyone inside. Luckily, none of them were hurt. Further research is necessary." - Ikamon

Ever since the Bedrock Golem arrived, it and The Runaway Guys have been inseparable. Perhaps that group is used to collaborating? Either way, it's quite nice to see contestants getting along.
