Wrestling Video Game Simulations
 

<font color=goldenrod>Yeah, this is a topic for those of us that ever like watching the CPU duke it out in matches.

I was bored yesterday so I did a Survivor Series PPV in HCTP (subbing some champions because I didn't have La Res/Spike/London/Kidman created) - there were 8 title matches and 1 extra interpromotional match.

<b><u>World Tag Team Titles: The Hurricane and Rosey vs. Rhyno and Tajiri (C)</u></b>
Tajiri got dominated by Rosey most of the match, never tagging Rhyno for whatever reason. Hurricane got tagged in and finished it off with the Nightmare on Helms Street, and Rhyno didn't even TRY to break up the pin - he sat on the apron the whole time, possibly his way of getting back at Tajiri for not tagging him in.

<b><u>WWE Cruiserweight Title: Ultimo Dragon vs. Rey Mysterio (C)</u></b>
We had a surprise today as Ultimo made his return. Unfortunately, it wasn't the type of return he would have liked. Rey got the win with a 6-1-9/West Coast Pop combo after a great match.

<b><u>WWE Women's Title - Bra and Panties Match: Victoria vs. Trish Stratus (C)</u></b>
Both women try to rip off each other's clothes. Trish gets her top ripped off first, but then rips off Victoria's a few minutes later. Both women keep the pants on even after taking each other's finishing moves. Eventually Victoria manages to pull of Trish's pants, winning the Women's Title.

<b><u>WWE Tag Team Titles: Rico and Charlie Haas vs. The Dudley Boyz (C)</u></b>
Haas started the match, but once Rico got tagged in it was all downhill from there. The Dudleyz kicked his ass. Both got their finishers in on him and after the Bubba Cutter it was all over (D-Von kept Haas fromn breaking the pin). Dudleyz retain the titles.

<b><u>Random Interpromotional Match: William Regal vs. Luther Reigns</u></b>
Luther totally dominated Regal early on, but once Regal reversed Luther's special, Regal mounted a comeback. At the end both Regal and Luther had specials but ultimately it was Luther's Towerhacker Bomb Pin that prevailed. Luther wins.

<b><u>WWE United States Title Lumberjack Match: John Cena vs. Booker T (C)</u></b>
Booker had Chavo Guerrero and the Big Show as his lumberjacks. Cena had Billy Gunn and Kevin Busch (:shifty: ) as his. Gunn, Show, and Chavo all made nuisances of themselves throughout the match. It took 2 Bookends, but Booker put Cena down long enough to score the pinfall victory and retain the title. Kevin Busch did fuck all. :(

<b><u>WWE Intercontinental Title Battle Royal: Shelton Benjamin vs. Matt Hardy vs. Kane vs. Shawn Michaels vs. Chris Jericho vs. Edge (C)</u></b>
It took a good 5 minutes before anyone got eliminated. The first elimination saw Edge pin Shelton Benjamin after the Edgecution. Next out was Matt Hardy, who was eliminated after a vertical suplex/cocky pin from Chris Jericho. Shawn Michaels was eliminated after an electric chair drop from Edge. Kane eliminated Chris Jericho with the Kane Powerbomb. It was down to just Edge and Kane. Kane would get the best of Edge, however, pinning him after the Kane Powerbomb. Kane is the new Intercontinental Champion.

<b><u>WWE Championship – Captain Fall Tag Team Match: JBL (Champion and team captain), Kurt Angle, and Mordecai vs. Eddie Guerrero (team captain), The Undertaker, and Rob Van Dam</u></b>
We had an interesting match here as whoever got the winning pinfall or submission on the opposing captain would be the WWE Champion. It was all-out action the entire time. Mordecai dominated Eddie most of the match, and he looked almost as if he had it won on many occasions. At the end, Mordecai gave Eddie a stiff clothesline but Undertaker started brawling with Mordecai, allowing JBL to sneak in and get the pin on Eddie. RVD tried to break the pin up, but he managed to botch that. JBL wins and retains the title.

<b><u>World Heavyweight Championship – Elimination Chamber: Batista vs. Ric Flair vs. Triple H vs. Chris Benoit vs. Eugene vs. Randy Orton (C)</u></b>
Ric Flair and Chris Benoit had the unfortunate task of starting things off. We saw some back-and-forth action between them. Batista was the next man in. He and Flair both worked over Benoit until, in a shocking move, Batista blatantly punched Flair in the face, proving that it was indeed every man for themselves. Eugene was the next one in and for most of the interval we saw Eugene/Batista and Benoit/Flair pair off. The champion Randy Orton came in next and got his shots in wherever. Triple H got the final entry and we saw pairs of Batista/Benoit, Eugene/Flair, and Orton/HHH going at it.
Triple H started off the eliminations by hitting Batista with a Pedigree and pinning him. Later on, Benoit went to the top of the chamber and leapt off, hoping to hit somebody. Unfortunately, he didn’t and as a result he was KO’ed on the mat. A nearby Flair took advantage and pinned Benoit. A few minutes later Eugene was eliminated after a Pedigree from Triple H.
So with 3 guys left, here were the standings: HHH (yellow head, yellow body, blue arms, blue legs), Orton (orange head, red body, blue arms, blue legs), and Flair (orange head, red body, blue arms, yellow legs).
All 3 guys fight each other, Orton even has Flair KO’ed at one point but HHH keeps him from pinning for whatever reason. HHH went up to the chamber and dove off for no arbitrary reason twice – yet he still had much better health than the others. Orton made the same mistake, only it cost him as HHH was right there to get the pin on him.
It was down to Flair and HHH. Flair has been the most injured guy for nearly the whole match (his body was red before HHH even entered). Triple H trips him up and then locks him in the Indian Death Lock. He then proceeded to………GO TO THE TOP OF THE CHAMBER AGAIN. He leapt off but missed Flair………JUST AS HE WAS GETTING UP. Triple H is KO’ed in mid ring and Flair took advantage and pinned him – scoring a HUGE upset and becoming a 17-Time World Heavyweight Champion.

So, yeah, that’s it.

Feel free to comment and/or post your own if anyone else ever does these. It doesn’t even have to be whole cards, it can be individual matches if you want.</font>

Good stuff, Vito.

I'm working on building up all my TNA CAWs, but once I'm done with that, I'll post results.

I was even thinking of posting video clips, but those will probably end up being too big to be practical.

For anyone who cares, the roster will be (unfinished characters in italics):

-Abyss
-AJ Styles
-"Alpha Male" Monty Brown
-Amazing Red
-Andy Douglas
-BG James
-Bobby Roode
-Chase Stevens
-Chris Harris
-Chris Sabin
-Christopher Daniels
-D'Lo Brown
-Dallas
-Elix Skipper
-Eric Young
-James Storm
-Jeff Hardy
-Jeff Jarrett
-Jerry Lynn
-Johnny Swinger
-Ken Shamrock
-Kid Kash
-Konnan
-Michael Shane
-Pat Kenney
-Petey Williams
-Raven
-Ron Killings
-Sabu
-Sonjay Dutt
-Spanky (assuming the rumors about him signing are true)

Plus, Dusty Rhodes for non-wrestler stuff (special referee, etc.)

What difficulty did you have it on?

<font color=goldenrod>Smackdown</font>

very nice matchs there Vito

<font color=goldenrod>I'm really looking forward to the NWATNA/WWE thing loopy. I was thinking about doing something like that once SVR comes out usuing the CAPPV feature.</font>

It's still gonna be a while. I haven't had time to just sit and build CAWs lately. I'm working on the top-rated guys first, so that's naturally going to take the most time. Once I get down to the Johnny Swingers, Pat Kenneys, and Eric Youngs, it should go pretty fast.

While I'm on it, does anyone have good movesets for Young (Eric, not David) or Michael Shane? I'm tentatively using Lance Storm's for Young and Shawn Michaels' for Shane, with changes to entrance and stuff. Anyone have a total top-to-bottom list for me?

dam, props to you guys for having patience like that.

I couldn't even watch one match before picking up the controller and playing.

<font color=goldenrod>HBK's moveset seems right for Shane, I'd just change it around a bit so that he doesn't have TOO many HBK likenesses (for instance, the taunts)

As for Young, I'm really not sure, but Lance Storm's seems about right.

I'm not sure, but if you go to DanFookes' CAW FAQ on GameFaqs, their might be movesets for some of the wrestlers.

Also, if you want, you can always change one of the jobbers into Vito</font> :shifty: :p

<font color=goldenrod>Oh yeah, and if you have GameShark 2 version 2, I have a code that you can use to build up all of your CAWs to your liking through CAW mode without having to go through 500 seasons to do it.</font>

I used to do that all the time. Never recorded it though. Maybe I should one day.

Bumping, 'cause I'm making really good progress and I don't want to lose the link.

Also to ask if anyone has good attributes for Monty Brown, Johnny Swinger, Pat Kenney, Dallas, or Team Canada. I have an idea for all of them, but I haven't seen much of Swinger and it's been years since I've seen Kenney (other than his squash against Jarrett on Impact a couple of week ago), so any "regular" TNA viewers' opinions are welcome.

Just decided to make a change. I wasn't at all impressed with the Shark Boy CAW I was using (plus, I didn't have a movelist for him), and I realized I wouldn't get much use out of Shane Douglas.

I finally found satisfactory CAWs for the Naturals, so now I'm going to actually have the current World Tag Team Champions in my game (which already makes me better than SvR).

<font color=goldenrod>Awesomeness. :y:

BTW, get rid of any random jobber and replace him with Big Vito.</font> :shifty:

If you've got a formula/movelist, I'd be glad to.

I'd probably replace Pat Kenney with him, so I could use NYC as a tag team.

<font color=goldenrod>Hmm, I'd be surprised if there wasn't a formula of him over on GameFAQs (if not Big Vito, then maybe just Vito)</font>

Welp, it looks like I'll be done with everything by the beginning of the week, as I'm down to just Petey Williams. I'm saving Spanky until he debuts, just to be safe. I should be ready to post the first show on Monday or Tuesday. So, at the moment, here is my proposed card for...

TNA Victory Road

30-Man “Gauntlet for the Gold” for the NWA World Heavyweight Title<O:p</O:p
Ken Shamrock, AJ Styles, Abyss, D-Lo Brown, Jerry Lynn, Sabu, Christopher Daniels, Monty Brown, Jeff Hardy, Jeff Jarrett, Amazing Red, Chris Harris, James Storm, Ron Killings, Sonjay Dutt, Raven, Petey Williams, Michael Shane, Chris Sabin, Andy Douglas, Chase Stevens, BG James, Konnan, Bobby Roode, Primetime, Kid Kash, Pat Kenney, Johnny Swinger, Eric Young, and Dallas

Ladder Match for the NWA World Tag Team Titles
America’s Most Wanted (Chris Harris and James Storm) vs. Triple X (Christopher Daniels and Primetime) vs. The Naturals (Andy Douglas and Chase Stevens)

X Title Tournament – Semifinal 1
AJ Styles vs. Petey Williams vs. Chris Sabin

X Title Tournament – Semifinal 2
Jerry Lynn vs. Amazing Red vs. Kid Kash

<O:p</O:p
X Title Tournament – Semifinal 3
Jeff Hardy vs. Sonjay Dutt vs. Michael Shane

Submission Match
Ken Shamrock vs. Jeff Jarrett

ECW Reunion Hardcore Match
Sabu vs. Raven vs. Pat Kenney vs. Johnny Swinger

Tag Team Titles #1 Contenders Match
3 Live Kru (BG James and Konnan) vs. Team Canada (Bobby Roode and Eric Young)

Strom Thurmond’s Worst Nightmare<O:p</O:p
D’Lo Brown vs. Monty Brown vs. Ron Killings

Monster Mash
Abyss vs. Dallas

Then, the following show will be an Impact featuring a triple-threat match between the X match winners for the X Title, plus the winners of the ladder match against either 3LK or Team Canada, as well as a couple of others.

I figure I'll do 10 matches for every PPV, and then maybe 6 for each Impact.

Thoughts?

not a bad idea, go for it

<font color=goldenrod>Looks great.</font>

If I were to put up videos on my site, would anyone click them? I figure I'll at least post pictures of the pre-match screen, but I'll record the entirety of the matches if anyone wants them.

I'd watch them, and the new Superstar of the Day is if anyone wants to see it

WWE Smackdown HCTP: Countdown to SvR tournament
 

<font color=goldenrod>Eugene</font>

Mr. Perfect

HKUK, I'd suggest Randy Savage for the tournament.

As for my TNA thing, I'm finally finished! I just finished playing through season as Petey Williams, and now he's all set.

Tonight, I'm going to play through Season a bit to get all the titles off of the TNA guys so they're not coming to the ring with titles they haven't "earned."

Tomorrow, I'll run the matches and record them, then do any video editing that's necessary (removing load screens or whatever). If possible, I'll have Victory Road posted tomorrow night. More likely, though, the results will be up on Monday. I'll upload the videos to my GeoCities account (assuming I still have it, since I haven't used it in a couple of months), and link them here.

I'm really looking forward to getting started on this, and I can't wait to see how HardKore UK's tournament turns out.

-EDIT-

The main page of my site is set up for Victory Road, although no results have been posted yet.

Owen Hart

Hulk Hogan

There's been a slight change of plans as far as my TNA sim goes.

The videos turned out to be impractical, so instead I'm going to just post screenshots of the pre-match screen, then text commentary for each match.

I've gone through the first three matches, and there's already been one huge surprise. I should have the rest of the matches simulated by the end of the day today, which gives me tonight to do the write-ups, and I should have them up sometime tomorrow afternooon/evening.

Holy fuck!

I was so worried about what I was going to do for storylines, but I just had one write itself. I've finished simming all of the matches, and there are some enormous surprises. Can't wait to get the write-ups done so I can post them and start gearing toward the first Impact.

Victory Road results are up on <a href="http://www.geocities.com/loopydate">my site</a>.

Wait, what game is that loopy? Chris Sabin new Champ :D Abyss looks really really good. I think he's perfect.

Here Comes The Pain.

You can do Gaunlet for the Gold?

It's a Royal Rumble. I edited the screenshot in PhotoShop.

Abyss is probably my favorite CAW. I like Sabu a lot, too, but it's hard to make the scars not look cartoony.

Oh :D I was like "WTF? That's not in my game." haha. Very Nice PPV. I didn't read the whole thing yet, but Jarrett losing :D

lol nice one loopy
