Too bad you didn't have Taker vs. Taker. Can't wait for the finals.

It is now time for the WWE Smackdown Here Comes the Pain CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH:

I have just been informed that this match will be fought under LAST MAN STANDING RULES!

http://mikethemetaled.showyourmoon.c...nNash_0001.jpg
<font color="black">To find out who wins, download the video. :ro</>ll:</font>
http://mikethemetaled.showyourmoon.c...evinNash_f.wmv

:eek:

I know who wins....:D


-edit- I didn;t realise the match had been posted... :(

:lol:

<font color=goldenrod>I know I've told HardKore UK about this, but here's my plan with SVR:

Once I unlock everything, I will start creating wrestlers. Obviously, 3 slots will go to the same 3 guys I create every game (Me, Apocalypse, and Cold Blood).

But after that, I will create some left out WWE guys (Eugene, Regal, La Res, London, maybe Hurricane) and then a ton of TNA guys.

I will basically do my own Invasion angle. Using Raws, Smackdowns, and PPVs. All matches will be CPU decided and I will post all results.

How does that sound?

Also, on another note, how the crap can I remove the thing about the tournament from the thread title? I deleted it myself but it won't disappear.</font>

Awesome tournament all around, and what a great final match.

Yeah, so usually I hate people who bump old threads, but now that I have an internet connection at my new apartment and can actually spend the necessary hours to do it, a new Impact should be up on my site either Sunday night or sometime Monday. Team Canada vs. Jeff Hardy and Triple X in the main event. Plus, some blockbuster announcements about the next TNA PPV (which already has a 3LK/Naturals cage match signed).

Okay, so "Sunday night or sometime Monday" became "in a month," but the new edition of <a href="http://www.geocities.com/loopydate/impact3/impact3.html">Impact</a> is up on my site!

Hopefully the next one won't take me four and a half weeks to finish. :)

<font color=goldenrod>That's an awesome Impact loopy. Sabin/Kash for the title. :drool:

But, for the record, the pre-match picture for the main event shows Jeff Jarrett, not Jeff Hardy. :o

I'm still trying to decide on whether or not to do one of these for SVR, but since the roster on it sucks it'll have to wait until I have the time to update the roster. Once I get a hold of a new GameShark, I'll be updating the stat points for the CAWs and hopefully I can get a nice little fed going with the majority of the current WWE roster plus a few others.</font>

Whoopsie. That's what I get for doing those at 3:00 AM... :o I'll fix that tonight when I'm simming the matches for the next show.

X Division showcase, babay! [/RHODES]

Oh, and here's the Turning Point card to date (pending Impact results):

World Heavyweight Title - Chris Sabin (c) vs. Kid Kash
Tag Team Titles (Six Sides of Steel) - 3 Live Kru (c) vs. The Naturals
X Title - Jerry Lynn (c) vs. Winner of Impact X series
Six Man Grudge Match - Dusty & Dustin Rhodes & Mystery Partner vs. Jeff Jarrett & 2 Mystery Partners
America's Most Wanted vs. Bobby Roode & Eric Young
Sabu vs. Abyss
Johnny Swinger vs. Empire Saint
Ron Killings & "Alpha Male" Monty Brown vs. Raven & Dallas
A six-man X Division tag team match (featuring the "losers" from the Impact series)

I simmed the next Impact last night and...:eek: AWESOME show! I'll hopefully have the results posted in the next two-three days (it takes a while to write). Also, now that TNA has released Abyss, I'm going to have to make some big changes.

Wait'll you see what happens at the "Impact X" series...

Yeah, so I'm bumping this thread seven months later, but now that SVR2 is coming in just a couple of months, I had a thought. Since HKUK's HCTP tournament was such a big hit last year, I might do one with the first SVR. Throw all 52 characters into a tournament, then post a match a day or something until the game launches.

Thoughts?

<font color=goldenrod>:eek: @ this topic getting bumped....forgot all about it

Anyways, yeah that sounds like a great idea, I'd definately watch it.

Anyways, I obviously never got around to doing the TNA invasion in SVR....mainly because the roster and the game itself sucked majorly....I MIGHT do a fed for SVR2006...no guarantees though</font>

Simmed the first match, but my dial-up connection isn't agreeing with yousendit. I'm working on it, though. Hopefully Monday night, the tournament can "start."

Well, here it is.

<a href="http://rapidshare.de/files/5308310/R1M01.rm.html">Round 1 - Match 1</a>

These two put on a heck of a show. Big shoes to fill for the other 50 matches. Video quality isn't great, but I'm on dial-up so this was the best I can manage. May be switching to broadband soon, though, as my ISP is running a deal. So, hopefully, better quality forthcoming.

Anyway, enjoy!

<font color=goldenrod>Christian :heart:

Charlie</font> :(

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Rapidshare :'(

Yeah, I wish Charlie could have had an easier draw, but I seeded everybody based on their stats, and this was the #32 vs. #33 match.

I'll probably post two matches tonight, as I imagine they'll both be squashes.

Round 1 - Match 2

<a href="http://rapidshare.de/files/5328339/R1M03.rm.html">Round 1 - Match 3</a>

Both of 'em combined are only about 3/4 as long as the first match, but neither was the huge squash I was expecting.

<font color=goldenrod>Jericho and Kane with easy spots into the next round</font> :cool:

Yeah. That was a little unfair. And there will be a few more of those in the coming days. Like I said, everybody in the game gets in, and I'm ranking them by stats, so Molly and Victoria (as well as upcoming appearances by Stacy, Sable, Trish, and Torrie) will have to fight the 13-18 seeds who didn't quite earn first round byes.

Okay, the next two matches are finished, but rapidshare is being really spiteful. I'll try again a couple more times, but they may have to be delayed until tomorrow morning. Fingers crossed.

I apologize for having taken so long. For some reason, RapidShare didn't want to take the videos as wmvs, so I wound up having to re-simulate the two matches (and one of the results changed!).

So, to make up for the delay, here are two more first round matches. With three more to come later tonight. And, hell, if I'm bored, maybe more.

<a href="http://rapidshare.de/files/5570372/R1M04.rm.html">Round 1 - Match 4</a>

<a href="http://rapidshare.de/files/5570886/R1M05.rm.html">Round 1 - Match 5</a>

And for anyone curious, I've broken up the bracket into "regions" like the NCAA basketball tournament. There will be five first round matches held at the RAW, SmackDown, Velocity, and Heat arenas. Two second round and a third round match will be held at the No Way Out, Backlash, Judgment Day, Bad Blood, Vengeance, Unforgiven, No Mercy, and Armageddon arenas. Royal Rumble and Survivor Series will each host two quarterfinal matches. Summerslam will hold the two semifinal matches. And the championship match will happen at WrestleMania.

That big paragraph was just in case someone wondered "Hey, why is so-and-so fighting at Velocity?" It's just 'cause s/he wound up in that bracket with 12 other participants. No "worth" judgments were made.

<font color=goldenrod>Holy crap @ Bubba :eek:

Show</font> :cool:

Alright, I need Realplayer to see these. I downloaded it and it skips. It's laggy as hell. Why is this? Did I just put in the wrong connection or something?

<a href="http://rapidshare.de/files/5578046/R1M06.rm.html">Round 1 - Match 6</a>

<a href="http://rapidshare.de/files/5578285/R1M07.rm.html">Round 1 - Match 7</a>

<font color=goldenrod>Rhyno :eek: (LOL @ how he won)

Orton and RVD</font> :cool:

<a href="http://rapidshare.de/files/5618371/R1M09.rm.html">Round 1 - Match 9</a>

Tomorrow's match will mark the halfway point of the first round. Which brings me to a question.

When the first round is over, do you want me to post the second round matchups ahead of time, or keep them coming as surprises like I have in the first round?

<font color=goldenrod>Tajiri :cool:

Dupree :(

Anyways, I'd keep the 2nd round matchups as surprises</font> :y:

<a href="http://rapidshare.de/files/5641960/R1M10.rm.html">Round 1 - Match 10</a>

Halfway through round one! And, just looking at the bracket, tomorrow's match should rival Christian/Haas for best match of the first round.

<font color=goldenrod>Cade over a "legend"</font> :eek:

<a href="http://rapidshare.de/files/5678234/R1M11.rm.html">Round 1 - Match 11</a>

<font color=goldenrod>V-ONEAHHHHHHHHHHH :cool:

Shelton</font> :(

I just did the scheduling math for the rest of the tournament, and I think I have it timed out perfectly to the release of SVR2. If I post only on weekdays (since I'm gone most weekends), here's how the rest of the tournament should work out (and this should hopefully alleviate "When's the next match going up?" questions, should they arise).

Round 1 will continue until Wednesday, October 12. One match per day.
Round 2 - Thursday the 13th until Monday the 24th. Two daily matches in round 2.
Round 3 - Tuesday the 25th until Thursday, November 3. One daily match.
Quarterfinals - Friday the 4th until Wednesday the 9th. One daily match.
Semifinals - Thursday the 10th and Friday the 11th. One daily match.
Finals - Monday, November 14. Which is the announced U.S. release date for SVR2006.

I've put way too much thought into this thing.

nice loop

Three matches today, since I don't think I'm going to get a chance to do this tomorrow or Friday. Remember, next Thursday, the second round kicks off with a couple of matches that should be really exciting.

<font color=goldenrod>Whoa :eek:

Naitch</font> :(

That's going to be the biggest upset of the round. None of the remaining matches have as much of an underdog as Chucky P was today.

Wednesday is the final day of the first round and, in addition to the match video, I'll post a list of results of each match for those without RealPlayer and for Disturbed, who seems to have some kind of issue with RapidShare. :D Plus, expect rankings for the five best matches and five biggest upsets (although we all know what #1 on that list will be).

<a href="http://rapidshare.de/files/6162353/R1M19.rm.html">Round 1 - Match 19</a>

<font color=goldenrod>Booker-Man :cool:

Anyways, I was bored today so I dusted off the old HCTP and did a PPV of WCW alumni (using every former WCW person in the game...plus two CAWs)

Here were the results:

-Shitty Hoss Match: Kevin Nash def. The Giant

-6-Man Elimination Match of former WCW Cruiserweight Champions: Chris Jericho def. Eddy Guerrero, "Sugar" Shane Helms, Rey Mysterio Jr., Chavo Guerrero, and Ultimo Dragon

-Bra & Panties Match: Torrie Wilson def. Stacy Keibler (I paid no attention to this match, just did it in the background while I was watching the SVR2006 WOTD vids)

-Special Tag Team Match featuring guys who worked for WCW but are more well known for work in other companies: Team WWF ("Stunning" Steve Austin and Jean-Paul Levesque) def. Team ECW (Robbie V. and Dancin' Stevie Richards).....sadly, I gave Team ECW a boost by letting RVD have 3 specials to start and Stevie 5 specials, and it still meant nothing

-Special Legends 6-Man Tag: Roddy Piper and The Road Warriors def. Ted DiBiase and Mean Mark Callous x 2 (That Ted DiBiase and his Taker-cloning abilities)..:shifty:

-Lord Steven Regal (CAW) def. Sean O'Haire

-No DQ Match: Cactus Jack (actually my Dude Love CAW :o) def. Eric Bischoff (The No DQ stip meant nothing as Jack killed Bisch in about 2 minutes without the use of weapons)

-Scott Steiner def. Booker T

-Ultimate Submission: Chris Benoit def. Lance Storm, 2-0

-Undisputed WCW World Heavyweight Champion: Goldberg def. Ric Flair (I used my season mode Flair, who had a 93 OVR compared to GBerg's 90)

And for those wondering, I picked Goldberg and Flair because they were statistically the best options I had without creating anyone new (173-match winning streak and US/WHW Title reigns to start career vs. 16-time World Champ)

The only guy I could think of that was left off of the show who also wrestled for WCW was Eugene, but he only wrestled a few WCW TV shows as an average jobber and my Eugene CAW has a 100 OVR so it would be kinda contradictory to his WCW self

I have too much time on my hands sometimes</font> :o

We need Masked Kane/Kane and Legend Taker/Taker in the netx round</font> :shifty:

Masked Kane still hasn't fought his second-round match yet. He may be eliminated before he can fight himelf.

I'm not going to be at my apartment on Friday, so to make up for the two matches I'd normally miss that day, I'm going to post three matches tonight and tomorrow. So, here's tonight's set.

Back on Monday with the final two second-round matches. We are now officially 2/3 of the way through the tournament match-wise. Also Monday, expect a recap of the second round with match results...y'know...all that stuff I did for the first round.

<font color=goldenrod>Good set of matches there Loop

Please tell me I didn't just see Holly beat Benoit</font> :|

Hardcore Holly has to be the story of the tournament so far. Clean wins over Batista and Chris Benoit in the first two rounds? Crazy. His Sweet Sixteen opponent might be his biggest challenge yet (although it's hard to say that when he's already pinned Benoit), so stay tuned. I think Holly doesn't fight again until a week from Tuesday. I'm just doing that from memory, though, so don't quote me on it.

Half of the quarterfinal bracket has been filled in. We'll know the rest in a week. Round 3 ends Thursday, then we'll be down to eight.

Due to the weekend/yesterday forum f-up, two matches today (yesterday's and today's). Two installments, though, since I'm having issues with getting today's match to play.

<a href="http://rapidshare.de/files/7066047/R3M41.rm.html">Round 3 - Match 41</a>

Also, I'm strongly considering having a WrestleMania PPV on the last day of the tournament, with the finals as the main event. You know, a chance to showcase all the guys who got eliminated too early (*cough*RockBretBenoitCena*cough*), plus showing actual gimmick matches.

<font color=goldenrod>Sounds awesome :y:

No match tonight. Been trying all evening, but I keep getting Disc Read Errors when I pop in SVR. This happens every once in a while, and usually if I let it sit for a while and try again, it's fine. So, if all goes well, the last two quarterfinal matches will be up tomorrow (Wednesday).

Sorry, Vito (and anyone who might have been watching these but hasn't been posting).

Still getting Disc Read Errors. That disc gives me trouble from time to time. If someone else wanted to pick up my slack for the next couple of matches (I'm looking at you, Mike), they're welcome to it. I can PM the remainder of the brackets. Stupid PS2, why will you let me play Resident Evil 4 and Star Wars Battlefront 2, but not SVR?
