The Official Smackdown vs Raw 2 thread

[Cool King]

Well I've just finished playing it and it's getting worse. I was editing my CAW and everytime you went down to look at a pair of tights or anything like that, the music would stop but you could still look at the other stuff but you couldn't select them.

So after taking an hour of what should have been 10 minutes of editing my CAW. I played a match with him.

Triple H came out and his music sticked and stopped. Lillian stopped and skipped things too.

My CAW comes out and the crowd noise didn't load, the tron stopped and the music didn't played properly. So during the match, J.R and Jerry weren't talking, and when I won the match, it crashed. After a coulpe of seconds of that it went back to normal. Then it took 15 minutes to load the main screen.

So I'll take your advice guys, and clean my lens. And if that doesn't change anything then I'll have to get a new PS2.:'(

[Kane Knight]

On the upside, it's still faster loading than DoR2.

[D Mac]

On the upside, it's still faster loading than it's PSP version.

[Kane Knight]

it's still easy to make nude caws mind you...

The funny thing is, like 2 days after DoR came out, you could make ' em there with an AR code which later got teken out.

There are all sorts of ways around it though.

But honestly, I've never cared enough to bother.

[Hired Hitman]

I had an awesome No DQ Title match between The Million Dollar man and Bret Hart, at the end of the match Hart hit Ted with a chair, he reached down and Ted Lunged forward, took Bret down by the legs then rolled over into a pinfall attempt where he got a three count :cool:

[Batsu]

Yeah. I wish THQ didn't insist on putting that stupid crotch/butt blur in there. I understand why it's there, but do they not realize how many wrestlers actually have logos on the fronts and backs of their tights?

They should axe it all together.
I hate that certain CAW parts have been taken away specifically for the prevention of making nude CAWs. Who cares about that crap?!

[Batsu]

now that I think of it, now that the game's been out for several months, think we can put together a definitive laundry list of the problems with the game/wish list for the next?

[D Mac]

Konami should make WWE Games. I just played Rumble Roses for the first time and liked it better. I wonder why tho...:shifty:

[PorkSoda]

There should be a new finisher reversal in the next game. For example, when playing against Rey Mysterio, if you don't reverse the 619 at the beginning, then you have to sit through the whole move without getting a chance to reverse anything. Like when he goes to kick you, you should be able to move. Or when he goes to spring off the ropes, you should be able to reverse the move into a powerbomb or into a pin. It sucks that you just have to sit there and watch the move.

Same with the sweet chin music. When he goes to stomp his foot, you can't duck under the kick. It sucks.

Same with Big Show's chokeslam, when he gets you up, you should be able to spring off his shoulder or if your Orton, get an RKO in.

Hogan's Legdrop....powerbombs....etc. That seriously could make a game better.

[Disturbed316]

I've always wanted and F5-countered-into-a-crippler crossface counter for the F5.

[Batsu]

Yuke's develops both games. What needs to happen is that Yuke's needs to put some of those moves from RR into SmackDown. (Though, they did put the hairstyles of Aisha, Miss Spencer, Candy Cane, and Dixie in CAW). Note that some SmackDown animations were in that game...

I noticed some new reversals for regular moves and finishers in this game (like the Angle Slam), which was actually kind of cool. This is actually a kind of cool idea.

[Kane Knight]

I didn't know you could escape from the door, but I had Taran (CAW) vs Eddie today, and did a turnbuckle move to drop the fucker some. The door swings open and I entered an alternate slider screen (That thing that you use to escape when climbing)
.

WTF? Am I the only one who didn't know about this?

[Kane Knight]

I noticed some new reversals for regular moves and finishers in this game (like the Angle Slam), which was actually kind of cool. This is actually a kind of cool idea.

Yeah, but they have so few reversals. They need more, at least different ones for different groups of moves (Maybe not one for EVERY DDT, but at least for the DDT group, and one for each distinct countering style), shit like that.

[D Mac]

Yuke's develops both games. What needs to happen is that Yuke's needs to put some of those moves from RR into SmackDown. (Though, they did put the hairstyles of Aisha, Miss Spencer, Candy Cane, and Dixie in CAW). Note that some SmackDown animations were in that game...

Yeah I noticed that one of the leg lock holds was excatly like Smackdown.

I think he was alluding to the T&A.

I don't know about "only," but I knew about it.

[Batsu]

Yeah, the door escape is new.

I hope some of the "handcuffing" is resolved in the next title. I had to use the Codebreaker more in this game than I ever did in a SmackDown title.

I.E.

you can take the Divas out of First Blood and bleeding, but relegating them to the wackass FYF match, Single and Submission matches is lame. Put them back in the Main Events and Hardcore matches. (Trish and Victoria actually did wrestle a few Hardcore matches in actual WWE, there's no excuse for this)

No more PSP-linkup unlockables. I can't say this enough.

No more blurs on CAWs. If there are clothes covering the necessary parts, that should be enough.

CAWs need to bring back the two tone color schemes. The plain "Blue" that you can slide to whichever color is kind of lazy.

More WWE logos.

Don't make it so difficult to hit flying attacks...it's ridiculous, almost not even worth it.

Bring back some, if not all the moves that were cut that didn't have new animations replacing them. (I'm talking about Samoan Driver (aka the real FU), all the Tazz suplexes, the Brock belly to belly, etc)

Scale down on the voiceovers... entrance music and movesets are more important...

Bring back the generic themes... the licensed music was kind of gay

Put in some of the moves from Rumble Roses...(the credible ones, anyway)

The base grapple should allow you to select both Heel and Face moves despite which mode you're using, and use of them should affect momentum accordingly.

Some moves need to overlap across categories...it was kind of difficult to make accurate movesets for certain wrestlers.

...otherwise, the game play and new features were the best I've ever seen in a SmackDown game ever.

[Kane Knight]

Yeah, the door escape is new.

I knew it was new, I just didn't know if it was like widely known because I've seen no-one mention it.

Yeah, I have a female CAW I'd like to put in regular "main event" matches. I don't mind them not bleeding (though it is dumb), but this other shit "got to go."

No more PSP-linkup unlockables. I can't say this enough.

They probably will. Weak attempt to boost the sales of their PSP version (And PSP handhelds). 'Course, they can do this with every fucking PS2 game and I won't regret getting a DS.

A big point. If kids want to make nude CAWS, they will find a way

CAWs need to bring back the two tone color schemes. The plain "Blue" that you can slide to whichever color is kind of lazy.

I don't know if we're talking about the same thing, ubt the color scheme setup definitely needs to go. It makes it hard to make certain hair and skin colors.

Don't make it so difficult to hit flying attacks...it's ridiculous, almost not even worth it.

Let's do one better. FIX. THE. SELLING. TIME. PERIOD.

Though I did just land 3 consecutive RVD Frog Splashes.

Bring back some, if not all the moves that were cut that didn't have new animations replacing them. (I'm talking about Samoan Driver (aka the real FU), all the Tazz suplexes, the Brock belly to belly, etc)

And even some of the indies. They used to do this, even if it was just with ECW and a few Japanese wrestlers. I miss my fucking Hangman DDT.

Scale down on the voiceovers... entrance music and movesets are more important...


I still think they should nix the voiceovers. It limits story mode grossly, and the only thing the commentary has in common with the real thing is making me try and tune it out 99.5% of the time.


Bring back the generic themes... the licensed music was kind of gay

OR at least do both. Ten licensed songs, a couple dozen generics.

The base grapple should allow you to select both Heel and Face moves despite which mode you're using, and use of them should affect momentum accordingly.

I like this as-is, actually.

Some moves need to overlap across categories...it was kind of difficult to make accurate movesets for certain wrestlers.

I agree here. Most moves should have multiple paths to them, period. Or they could just kill the "MArtial Arts" slot, or "Submission" slot shit. However, most moves are a combination of factors, and so putting them in multiple categories would make things less a headache.

...otherwise, the game play and new features were the best I've ever seen in a SmackDown game ever.

Agreed. Though there were some things in HCTP I liked better, overall this is probably leaps and bounds better.

What I'd like to see is some major changes. The engine is still pretty close to the original. Make it less crappy. And for God's sake, don't make the "remove the turnbuckle cover" button the same as "tag."

[Cuzziebro]

LOL, So true.

[PorkSoda]

Yeah, Divas should participate in any match like the men and all that. You should even be able to take on through story mode.

Playstation is more organized than N64 or XBOX or Gamecube. N64's No Mercy you could take Linda McMahon through a world heavyweight championship story. You could take Triple H through the Womens story and have him wear a bikini. You could turn off pinfall, submission, DQ, and have a never ending match. You could have a hardcore Royal Rumble. How awesome would a hardcore Royal Rumble be with 6 people? THQ should let us fool around with all the rules in a standard match.

And one problem, it bugs the crap out of me in like a tornado tag match where two guys are in the ring and two are on the entrance how you can barely see what's going on. How about they do a split screen where it focuses on whats going on in the ring and whats going on in the entrance? You know how the screen just gets ultra wide?

You should have unlimited letters on your character. For example, I wanted to create the Cluckin Bell guy from GTA: San Andreas. I got the Cluckin Bell on the front and on the back I got up to Taste Th. :(

And this is annoying as hell. Only have the ref DQ you if you focus on him and attack. I'm tired of accidently hitting him and he DQ's me. Happens too often.

[UmbrellaCorporation]

And this is annoying as hell. Only have the ref DQ you if you focus on him and attack. I'm tired of accidently hitting him and he DQ's me. Happens too often.


No kidding. I started a new Season mode last night with Carlito, and got disqualified in my first match (with John Cena, as opposed to RVD) because I hit the ref like three times with a back elbow.

What REALLY aggravates me about this game is the sleeperhold system. Not BREAKING the hold (you only hit X ONE TIME, when it's in the blue, if anyone didn't know), but getting someone to submit that way is horrible. I went almost an hour against RVD that same night, and I was hell bound and determined to beat him with that sleeperhold. Nevermind the fact that he's completely bloody, every body part in red, he can still get out of it 19/20 times.

[Cuzziebro]

LOL, I have done a sleeperhold twice and both times was to an opponent that didnt have a completly red body and still i KO'ed him.

[Kane Knight]

It's best when you aren't just focused on the guy, but you're aimed like right at him with no interference, and should have a totally clean shot. And you hit the ref. :|

I like the sleeper system IDEA, but the shit don't work. I've gotten them to go to sleep, but it really doesn't work that well. Same with casket matches.

And Pork Soda, thanks for reminding me of Kane in a bikini. He was one of the first people I ran through with (aside from CAWs).

BTW, I got the trophy in GM mode my first try. While it's hard to get a lasting lead on the other show, it's not that hard. However, using your biggest stars in huge matches and losing to the other show is fucking frustrating week after week.

[Skippord]

And this is annoying as hell. Only have the ref DQ you if you focus on him and attack. I'm tired of accidently hitting him and he DQ's me. Happens too often.
I had a matche with Jake Roberts(me) Vs JBL(com) and I had two specials and got Irish whipped near the Ref and gave the ref a Clothesline from Hell and got DQ'd :|

I have gotten through a few PPV's but GM Mode is really boring becuase you have to have big matches with real popular superstars if you want to beat the other show, and I have done like so many gimmick matches that they are boring. I hate it becuase when a wrestler complains about losing you have to make him win sooner or later and that means playing as him and its so boring playing matches.

[D Mac]

The next one will be on PS3 only so it's got to be better.

[Batsu]

The next one will be on PS3 only so it's got to be better.

PS3 won't even see the light of day until possibly holiday season. Think this'd be a launch title?

Edit: Didn't see the earlier posts. Where was this announced?

I don't think PS3 will see SmackDown until 2007 (actual year, not "season" year)... JBI didn't even show up on PS2 until it'd been out for a few months. Business wise, it'd be a little better, because as you saw, Madden 06 on X360 wasn't exactly the mind-blower everyone expected it to be. Looking back, it usually takes THQ a couple tries to get it right...

[Batsu]

No kidding. I started a new Season mode last night with Carlito, and got disqualified in my first match (with John Cena, as opposed to RVD) because I hit the ref like three times with a back elbow.

God...that was annoying as FAAAAHQUE....The ref gets in the way entirely too much. They might as well implement Dusty finishes if they're gonna do that.

[Batsu]

You should have unlimited letters on your character. For example, I wanted to create the Cluckin Bell guy from GTA: San Andreas. I got the Cluckin Bell on the front and on the back I got up to Taste Th. :(


The letters clogging up "layers" is an annoyance...either allow more layers, or something. I can't ever get to making a good football jersey for a CAW because the layers involved get ridiculous.

[loopydate]

There should be a separate set of layers for letters/symbols.

I remember getting really pissed of in HCTP (I think), because I was trying to create Spike, but I couldn't even make the Dudley Boyz jersey...THAT BUBBA WAS WEARING IN THE GAME! I just ran out of layers.

LOL. Playing matches is boring. Why do you even have the game then? What else is there?

Wrestlers complaining doesn't bother me any.

[Kane Knight]

The next one will be on PS3 only so it's got to be better.

Yeah, I mean, between No Mercy and the first gen of GCN games, there was a marked improvement.

[D Mac]

Have I just been KKKd? :D

[Savio]

Nah. This one's better than the first SVR.true but in my defence I don't consider that a game since I didn't buy it.

[Kane Knight]

I've just been KKKd! :D

:kiss:

Is this actually representative of the PSP's load times for this game?

[D Mac]

YES. :mad:

[Kane Knight]

I'm not sure which is worse. The already bloated load times on the PS2 version, or the fact that they actually found a way to make them worse. That's just fucking unacceptable.

[Extreme Angle]

lol funny music in the backround :D and the way that as soon as it said press x to continue the final fantasy victory theme played :lol:

[Kane Knight]

The BEnny Hill music is so overdone.

I just started playing SvR again for the first time in like 3 months. I didn't even finish a season till yesterday. :$

[Extreme Angle]

since i've been playing online i have been owning alot more...
my cousin and his friend were basically as good as me, so i played online and went up his house to play a few matches...
they put their tag titles on the line in a ladder match they had 2 maxed out caws i was my maxed out caw,(which i have only 1 of)and i teamed with my animal caw then my other cousin played as bobby lashley and had a random caw as his partner... it was a triple threat tornado tag ladder match...
it ended with me cycloning my other cousin then cycloning my cousin then spearing my cousins friend...
then i got the belts for me and animal :love:

[Kane Knight]

God, I hate when people iwth like 1 bar of fatigue get injured. Worse, it was a 3 week sidelining injury. Thankfully, I saved. They need to work on GM mode interface.

[The Mackem]

Girlfriend bought it for me on Sunday.

Lessons learned:

1) SVR 2006 is a good game (IMO)
2) Girls don't like being hit with sledgehammers :(

What's the deal with this Jake Roberts/PSP import thing?

[Sephiroth]

Question for you guys: Is it possible to defend titles or have title matches in a created PPV?

If you have the PSP version of SVR06 you can unlock Jake "The Snake" Roberts and upload it to your PS2.

I heard from friends that it was possible without the PSP too, but i don't know if that is true...because my friends are pretty much retards.

[Kane Knight]

Anyone got a good suggestion for a replacement finisher for Daivari? The ball shot as his finisher seems so weak.

[D Mac]

You can get a cheat device like Gameshark or Codebreaker and unlock him that way,

[Destor]

You can also draft Jake Roberts in the second year of GM mode as one of your three choices.you'll be able to play that way, but only in GM mode. Nonetheless I said fuck and bought a Gameshark just to unlock the guy.

[loopydate]

He used to use a frogsplash as a finisher before he signed with WWE.

But then you run into the problem of trying to actually land said frogsplash.

[D Mac]

Anyone got a good suggestion for a replacement finisher for Daivari? The ball shot as his finisher seems so weak.

Women's Special Slap.

[Extreme Angle]

um that ddt thing that ultimo dragon had im hctp...
and i unlocked jake the snake using my action replay max. your not missing much

[CNM]

Question for you guys: Is it possible to defend titles or have title matches in a created PPV?

Yeah, you just set the match up as a title match. Then when you go to play the PPV, it'll ask you what title you want defended, who the participants will be, and what type of match you want.

[Kane Knight]

Women's Special Slap.

LMAO!

[Cuzziebro]

Its funny becuase I tryed it this morning and it really does suit Daivari.

[The Mackem]

Kinda wish I didn't pick RVD for my first bash at season mode. Haven't landed the 5 star frog splash perfect yet. Last match I had was against the Undertaker in a buried alive match. Think I will make someone after the season is finished.

[Disturbed316]

Just found out that you can get a baseball bat as a weapon in bar room brawl. Does so much damage too :drool:

[D Mac]

LMAO!

Don't I win a prize or something from that? :shifty:

[Xero]

So how do you unlock the ECW arena through Story mode (I can't be assed to do the challenges)? I don't want to wade through 100+ pages...

[Kane Knight]

Don't I win a prize or something from that? :shifty:

Do rep and sodomy count?

[Kane Knight]

So how do you unlock the ECW arena through Story mode (I can't be assed to do the challenges)? I don't want to wade through 100+ pages...

I don't think there is another way.

[Kane Knight]

GM mode needs a serious overhaul in terms of interface, BTW. I love playing GM mode, but some things need to change. For example, I should be able to see who is champion at the screen where I select matchups. It's a bitch for me to remember some of the champs (Tag teams, for example) because they seem to change hands every time they're defended.

I should be able to pull up at least basic stats (I'd like to see fatigue and current win/loss streak on there as well, as it can be a pain when remembering all the stats for 20 or so people)
.

They need a "face/heel" option in setting up GM mode. Remember in HCTP when you could select who were good and bad? You should be able to do that for GM mode, turn people in-game, etc. This should affect your feuds too. It should affect also the default setting for a wrestler (Clean/Dirty)

We should have tag team feuds too, or at least "stable" feuds. A lot of tag teams have had major feuds within the WWF/E, so why not include them in the mix?

[Cuzziebro]

You should be able to chose the outcome (win/lose) of each match rather than having to play the match to make sure a superstar does not get too angry about losing alot. It just annoys me having to play every bloody match because one of the superstars wants to win.

[Kane Knight]

That would make things a bit too easy.

[D Mac]

Do rep and sodomy count?

:naughty:

[The Mackem]

How do you do that power Irish whip?

[Cuzziebro]

Holding Triangle and Circle, which is the buttons for normal Irish Whip.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

Aite, I played this for a bit today, after a bit of an absence. I've been playing King of Colloseum 2 ( And Fire pro R a bit). Yukes really needs to overhaul reversing. Take the KOC route, or something similiar. First, one button to counter strikes, but making the timing harder. Than just overhaul grappling.

Maybe have 2 smalls bars up by the person's name. Make it similiar to the "lock up" mini game, where the person who stops there meter higher in a grapple executes their move. As a person is hurt/ loses momentum, there bar goes faster, as I guy gains momentum, his bar goes slower, making it easier to stop.... Then just stick in some random reversing for fun, that way you can't do big ass moves right away...

Seriously, KOC is the best for counters. The computer countering my rear waist lock w/ a go behind, and then me countering their german into a roll up for a 3 count is golden. Best counter ever though, a rollup pin counter to a cross arm breaker. Sheer brillance.

[Kane Knight]

Sadly, the closest Smackdown comes to a real reversal chain is "cruiserweight moves X"

[Kane Knight]

Not only that, but they'd need more counter options before that ever became viable.

[The Mackem]

Some of the countering seems a bit odd on mine. For instance the computer counters my flying kicks as if they were standing kicks.

Still haven't hit a 5 star frog splash :(

[Extreme Angle]

who wants to fight me online?

[The Mackem]

I'll fight you for real, RIGHT NOW!

[Extreme Angle]

suuuuuuure you will :)

[Kane Knight]

suuuuuuure you will :)

He will. The Mackem's a fighting Irish Bastard.

Just don't say that to his face...

(Yes, I know it wasn't exact, but who gives a shit?)

[Kane Knight]

You can also draft Jake Roberts in the second year of GM mode as one of your three choices.you'll be able to play that way, but only in GM mode. Nonetheless I said fuck and bought a Gameshark just to unlock the guy.

I need to find mine. I don't really use it for much at all (I think cheating in games is kind of pointless), so for things I cannot unlock (Lack of PSP and link cable), I then have to go FIND what the fuck I did with it.

[Extreme Angle]

KK how long have you had that avatar?
i remember you having it the day i came Tpww a year ago i think...
Anyway have you got online?

[Destor]

I need to find mine. I don't really use it for much at all (I think cheating in games is kind of pointless), so for things I cannot unlock (Lack of PSP and link cable), I then have to go FIND what the fuck I did with it.Yeah, I don't cheat on my games either, why play it if you're going to cheat? Instead I decided to buy a product that would make sure I wouldn't have to buy any peripherals EVER. Seemed like a smart choice to me. None the less, Jake Roberts wasn't worth $30 bucks...

[The Mackem]

Yeah but you feel empty when you realise that you can't unlock everything in the game. $30 to make the emptiness go away seems like a smart choice.

[The Mackem]

Any good CAW's about, without hacks?

[Kane Knight]

Yeah but you feel empty when you realise that you can't unlock everything in the game. $30 to make the emptiness go away seems like a smart choice.

Plus, there's enough shit out there that we can use it for. I paid 30 bucks for a tool that also allows me to store my old saves on a PC (It comes with a USB device that I can use), allowing both backups of current games and storage of old games so I can bust 'em out some day.

Far as I'm concerned, being able to ALSO unlock stuff I'd normally need a special peripheral for is a bonus.

[Extreme Angle]

Any good CAW's about, without hacks?
Ye caws made by me :p

[loopydate]

Any good CAW's about, without hacks?

www.caws.ws (http://www.caws.ws)

Sort of hit-and-miss, but there are some excellent ones on there. Plus there are a TON if - like me - you want to update your roster with everyone they left off.

[Nervous Ferret]

is SvR worth getting now? :o

[PorkSoda]

SvR1? No, I don't think so.

Put the difficulty on Legend and put all of the Com's awareness up. Like their ability to reverse moves etc. It's pretty hard. Had an 18 minute match where I was Rene Dupree against Heidenreich, and I won :D

[Nervous Ferret]

no, 2 DUH

[Kane Knight]

It's pretty worth it IMO. May be the best Smackdown game ever, shitty story mode aside.

[Nervous Ferret]

Any good for PSP?

[Kane Knight]

If you can put up with God awful load times, I guess. Never played PSP's version.

[Nervous Ferret]

ok thx I'll think about it. <3

The load times arent that bad for mine

[Kane Knight]

Anything can happen in teh WWE.

[D Mac]

Any good for PSP?

NO. It's the exact same game only with god awful load times and no commentary.

Could be worse dude!

I sim'd what should have been a squash match for my then champion Kurt Angle. Who lost, leaving the title in the hands of...













SPIKE DUDLEY!!!

OMG! The Keibler elf!

[Cuzziebro]

LOL, Im simed a match between Daivari and Taker (Champ). Can anyone guess who won, thats right stupid Daivari with a bloody low blow i was laughing for ages at Taker.

[Skippord]

NO. It's the exact same game only with god awful load times and no commentary.
For you and I prefer the no commentary

[Kane Knight]

For everyone but skippord. He's "special."

The lack of commentary is not a bad thing. HEaring the same comments 5,000 times is even worse than WWE (Where you'll hear them 50 times).

[Skippord]

For real my PSP is hardcore

[The Mackem]

Done a season on Smackdown (RVD - I ran down T-Lo :( ) and Raw (Christian - I stopped Battista and JBL's evil plan :) ). Going to try and finish the challenges now I guess. Need to steal a finisher (no idea how) and kick out of a possum pin to finish the first set.

Think I will create someone like AJ Styles to help the Cruiserweight division and do a season with him next. Happy days.

[Kane Knight]

Steal a finisher is easy. When a face, bank a finisher and get a second. When in your opponent's finisher position, press L2+L1 a the same time (I find it easier to just hold L2 down first)

[Kane Knight]

In GM mode, Raw drafted almost all the Cruisers. :mad:

[Kane Knight]

Also, Shelton whipped TWO guys with a popularity of 100.

[The Mackem]

Finished rising star, hoo-ha, cheers KK.

[D Mac]

I tried GM mode for like 30 min and my patience wore thin. Quickly.

[Skippord]

I'm having a tournament for a shot at my world champion and it is going really sick

[Sadistic]

I tried GM mode for like <s>30</s> 5 min and my patience wore thin. Quickly.

[Rammsteinmad]

Ok guys I need some help.

I've completed the first three sets of challenges in the locker room, but the legend group hasn't been opened.

Have I gotta do something to open them?

[Volchok]

uh...Unlock all the legends?

[Skippord]

Unlock all of the legends

[Disturbed316]

All the legends...unlock them.

[Volchok]

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[Rammsteinmad]

Ok cool. Thanks guys. I'm packed my PS2 away now though (I only go on it at weekends)... so one more question, do I need Jake Roberts?

[ddpBANG]

No, but wouldn't that suck though?

[Kane Knight]

I sucks that therés content like Roberts anyway.

[ddpBANG]

I sucks that therés content like Roberts anyway.
Come again?

[D Mac]

Yeah, i'm thinking of selling this game or trading it in. Bored with it finally.

[PorkSoda]

Be The Rock or Scotty 2 Hotty and then do the Peoples Elbow or The Worm with your momentum meter full. Funny how it stays black and white throughout the whole move.

[Kane Knight]

Come again?

Only if you promise not to use teeth this time.

[Disturbed316]

Had an amazing 25 minute match against The Rock and Booker T last night. I was my CAW and the finish went like this:

- Booker T hits the ref with Scissor Kick
- Rock Rock Bottom's Booker T
- CAW F5's The Rock
- After pinning The Rock for what could have been a 10 count the ref recovers and I still get the 3.

[Cuzziebro]

That sounds pretty cool, i simulated something like that but it was a Fatal Fourway Hell in a Cell
- Hassan gets pushed off the cell by Benoit
- Mysetrio does the 619 on Orton
- As mysterio is doing it Benoit jumps down from the top of the cell, into the ring and stops Mysterios pin.
- Orton is still down and so is Hassan
- Benoit puts the crossface on Mysterio and wins, The Heavywieght Title.
It was one of the best matches that i had simulated. It lasted about 15 mins.

[Skippord]

I had an awesome match with Mysterio(me) and Doug Basham /w Danny Basham
-Rey Rey starts the match out kicking ass but I have a flair for the dramatic so I went outside.
-Danny and Doug double team Rey for a while and whip him in the ring
-Doug takes control of the match for a while
-Rey turns it around and builds up a finisher and stores it
-Doug hits a big clothesline and takes Rey out
-Doug starts to drag Rey to the middle of the ring
-Rey uses a Possum Pin to get the 1 2 3
-Both guys were in the red
-Went about 15 minutes

[Kalyx triaD]

I don't have the game anymore.

[PorkSoda]

What are your shortest and longest matches?

My longest is about 23:54. I believe it was a tag team match. Don't remember who was in it.

Shortes is 18 seconds. It was the JBL vs. Dibasie ladder match for the legend challenge. Dibaise ran under the ring, got a ladder, I set it up, climbed, and got it. :D

[James Steele]

My longest match was 60 minutes. I have started doing actual 60 minute Ironman matches on Hard difficulty. The only thing that sucks is that they won't tap out to any Type A submission moves.

My shortest match was about 30 seconds. James Steele vs.Terry Funk for the hardcore title, and Terry Funk whipped my ass.

[Skippord]

Longest is 60 mins on PSP crazy good match

Shortest is probly like a minute on easy

[UmbrellaCorporation]

Okay, I need some advice from you guys.

Up until today, my SvR has been working like a charm (using the old fat PS2 by the way. Only gotten ONE disc read error in its whole lifespan, period. And that was like 6 months ago or something. No problems since.)...I went to defend my Intercontinental Championship as Carlito against Chris Masters.

Carlito comes out perfectly, and I wait for Masters entrance. It just sits at a black screen. I turn entrances off, the game works fine (although I haven't tried season since this happened).

Any tips, advice, suggestions?

[James Steele]

It might have just been a hiccup, but it is always a good idea to buy a lens cleaner and clean your lens in your PS2. It is amazes me how much that can help performance.

[Kane Knight]

Clean your disc and lense. After that, I don't knwo what.

[UmbrellaCorporation]

I'll give that a try. Sounds like a pretty reasonable solution. Surprised that I didn't think of it myself. Thanks for the help, guys. :p

But how weird...I went to play Season to test it this morning after turning the entrances off in options. When I started the Season, I saw that the entrances were always on by default. So naturally I was thinking "Oh shit, no more Season for me."...

Well, I'm at the Legends Tour, Austin came out in a cutscene, and the match started. The entrances all loaded, no fuss, no muss. Weird, no?

Just seems like it's an exhibition only thing or something.

[Kane Knight]

I had a problem where certain moves wouldn't preview in CAW. I THINK it was solved by cleaning, and it was only certain moves. I just can't remember which ones. I was looking for a good new finisher for my cocky as fuck CAW. It may be a problem specific to your one entrance that wouldn't load.

It pisses me off to no end that I have to put up with all the intros in story mode, because the load times are ridiculous

[UmbrellaCorporation]

It's weird, since yesterday was the first time that it happened. I'll clean the lens for sure, but I'm just glad to see that the game is still playable.



But...Is is a coincidence that the entrance that wouldn't load in Exhibition was Chris Masters?


:shifty:

[Kane Knight]

Probably botched his entrance. Or maybe even the PS2 couldn't fake interest in him.

[Skippord]

Just had a 60 minute Iron Man Match with Carlito(me) Vs Ric Flair(CPU)

Won 38-37 with a Swinging neckbreaker with 11 seconds left

[James Steele]

:lol:

Damn, my highest score on a 60-minute is 7-6 (James Steele[me/heel] def. Triple H[cpu/face] for the world heavyweight championship at WrestleMania)

2nd highest was a 6-5 where Ric Flair [cpu/face] def. James Steele [me/heel] for the world heavyweight championship at SummerSlam where Flair made JS tap out to the figure four with 3 seconds left in the match.

[Cuzziebro]

My highest is 10-9 where HHH (Me) pedigreed HBK(CPU) with 1 minute to go. HBK got back up did the superkick with 10 secs to go but he wasted time posing.

[James Steele]

I have it on hard difficulty, which makes it hard for my mainly submission wrestler to make guys tap out to the Type A sub moves, but I own them on Type B. (I suck at buttonmashing. I am tapping every fucking button on the controller simultaneously has fast as I can, but the damn thing won't go all the way to submit.)

[XL]

Gotta feeling Skippord wasn't playing on a hard setting or his match went...chairshot DQ, pin, chairshot DQ, pin

I've had some awesome matches with me as Benoit against Angle.

Many of these were submission matches that ended in time limit draws or Ultimate Submission with 1 or 2 falls seperating us.

A cool little move was reversing the Angle Slam (rolling off the shoulders) and pulling Angle down in the Crossface for a submission.

[Kane Knight]

Yeah, the button mashing is hard in this game. I used to own on SVR and HCTP.

[James Steele]

I just had an awesome match for the United States title on Velocity.

AJ Styles(me) def. Muhammed Hassan (c) in 32 minutes.

I would have won sooner but for some reason the Landing Pin (Styles Clash) would only get a 1 count and Hassan would be in all red.

[Kane Knight]

US title on Velocity?

[James Steele]

Yeah. I like to do my "Exhibition Storylines" in a somewhat realistic fashion.

[Cuzziebro]

I love the reversal of the Superkick into the Ankle Lock.

[James Steele]

The rematch is scheduled to be LIVE!!!!!! at WWE's The Great American Bash in a first blood match.

[Cuzziebro]

Go Hassan!!

[Kane Knight]

Yeah. I like to do my "Exhibition Storylines" in a somewhat realistic fashion.

There's realism in having a non-CW title defended on Velocity?

[loopydate]

Hassan can only wrestle on Velocity so that SmackDown doesn't get cancelled by the network morality police.

[Kane Knight]

I'm surprised he wasn't removed, like his finishers, the "blowing myself up in the name of Allah" and "Decapitator."

[The Mackem]

I finished the second set of challenges the other night doing the slobber knocker one last which I've completed. My girlfriend made me turn the PS2 off after I finished the match and saved it though so I've no idea what the next set are :mad:

[Disturbed316]

lol you caved.

[D Mac]

Gonna buy Here Comes The Pain again tomorrow.

[Extreme Angle]

lol look at all these...

if you go back to page 1 they got some good ones...
but the Christian one hits the spot
800th post!!!!!!!

[James Steele]

YAY!!!!!!111

[Cuzziebro]

Well, I finally finished GM Mode. I now have finished the whole game, have unlocked everything without cheats, beaten all chllenges and got all trophies. Took a while though LOL.

[Boondock Saint]

OK, haven't played this in a while but got bored and decided to get back into it. I realized I never did Create a PPV so I went to do that, but I can't figure out how to do a title match. I select "title match" but it doesn't give me the option of what title I want to use. And the participants keep changing if I go back. Can you not defend titles in PPV mode (which would be weird) or just Created titles or something?

Or am I just being completely oblivious to how to do it? Which is prolly the most likely scenario.

[Cuzziebro]

What you do, is choose a Title Match. Then when you play your PPV you get to choose which Title just like an Exhibition Title Match just its in your Created PPV.

[Boondock Saint]

AHHH. OK cool, thanks.

[Cuzziebro]

No Problem

[D Mac]

Well, I finally finished GM Mode. I now have finished the whole game, have unlocked everything without cheats, beaten all chllenges and got all trophies. Took a while though LOL.

SUUURE :p

[The Icon of Elisim]

Is there any trick to reversing the casket door. I dunno if I tap the buttons wrong or I'm timing it wrong but it drives me crazy

[Kane Knight]

I don't quite remember how the door works. ISn't it like the "sleeper hold" system? Whe you need to get the ball in a certain region as it drops?

[D Mac]

Spike Dudley is now the Million Dollar Champion.

[The Mackem]

Wait for the ball to drop into the zone, that was my original problem with that one :mad:

[Cuzziebro]

Spike Dudley is now the Million Dollar Champion.

LOL

[Boondock Saint]

Yeah, you just set the match up as a title match. Then when you go to play the PPV, it'll ask you what title you want defended, who the participants will be, and what type of match you want.


LOL, if only I had read the previous page. :$

[D Mac]

Here's a challenge. Beat Career mode with every single wrestler on Legend difficulty and go undefeated. Then you will have truly beaten the game.

[Kalyx triaD]

http://ps3.ign.com/articles/699/699303p1.html

Yes.

[D Mac]

Male or female?

I'm guessing female, but you can never be too sure with names nowadays.:nono:

[V]

started playing again after being 2 emo to play...

i read that you can push start to start challenge mode from the lockerroom

why doesn't that work for me :mad:

i'm trying to do it for rising superstar, i select the challenge and push start and nothing happens. i've even set it to the right difficulty =\

[James Steele]

You can only do the "Start" from the lockeroom on Superstar and Legend challenges.

[V]

that is pretty terrible then

thanks :p

[Kane Knight]

that is pretty retarded then

thanks :p

[Extreme Angle]

ooo i did a photoshopped attire

btw thats paul londan and i just messed about with steven richards

[Xero]

LOL, I just got a new Slimline PS2 because my old one finally shat out on me with the DRE shit, and was testing SVR2 (the one that was first giving me trouble) and had Van Dam and Cena. The funny part is that the fans were chanting RVD and Cole was putting over the fact that everyone loves Cena. :rofl:

[PorkSoda]

Was doing the Hogan vs. Dibiase challenge at WM9. At the end, I hit the ref with an underhook suplex, and then Hogan punched me three times, the third hit I was tangled on the ropes and he hit his big boot and legdrop for the win :-\

[Hired Hitman]

:cool: Real Hogan Finish :cool:

[Disturbed316]

I did that to someone online and just as 3 was gonna be counted he pulled the plug :cool:

[Xero]

Who would want to be beaten by the Leg Drop of Senility?

[Skippord]

Shawn Michaels

[Kane Knight]

I think he lost his smile again that night.

[Xero]

Yeah, it's stuck to the bottom of Hogan's boot.

[Disturbed316]

Really? I thought it was up his own arse.

[Kane Knight]

Really? I thought it was up his own arse.

How do you think it got there though? ;)

[D Mac]

Question: When is the best time to Slander Promotion in GM mode? I tried it twice and it said both times that a video played saying they were all lies.

[D Mac]

JR: "BAH GAWD HE'S DONE IT! He beat Shawn Micheals and is the new World Heavyweight Champion!"




















































"Hurricane! Hurricane! Hurricane!"

WOOHOO I can spam this shit and no one will ever know! Hehe.

WOOHOO I can spam this shit and no one will ever know! Hehe.

Skippord Knows the truth

[Kane Knight]

Has anyone gotten good results out of merchandising? It never seems to give me more than the +150K option.

[D Mac]

Has anyone gotten good results out of merchandising? It never seems to give me more than the +150K option.

Nope. And I still can't get good results out of Slander Promotion.

[ddpBANG]

Seems to work best the week after a PPV, or maybe it was a week before... I don't quite remember, I haven't played in months.

[ddpBANG]

Maybe it's both...

[Cuzziebro]

Yeah I know I did it a couple of times. I think Tazz sends you an email saying something about slander promo. And that week I got the email, did the promo and it worked.
