You're right, it wasn't twisting words. Just a nice attempt

Contextually, you left very little to work with, and if you are dissatisfied with the interpretation, don't blame me.

I'm not blaming you for anything. Just saying your interpretation wasn't the right one.

In the 25 posts prior to yours, I find two mentions of No Mercy, neither of which directly Advocate NM as the answer in-and-of-itself. The closest that came was James and his suggestion of taking the best elements of the DoR and SVR series and adding in the "complex simplicity," which is horribly nondescript, but far from the assertion you seem to be refuting.

I've not been "refuting" anything from the beginning. I've simply been pointing out your misunderstanding of what I said. Once again, nice try to make it look like I was the one who misunderstood.

You treat your answer as a reply, when it's unclear what you're replying to, as the argument seems to be one nobody made but you refute anyway. Since both other posts are talking about elements of No Mercy instead of No Mercy itself...

I replied clarifying above ^^^^.

Although I mentioned No Mercy as a great game, I've still been saying people don't give the SmackDown games enough credit. People seem to get all nostalgic and think No Mercy was the best thing since sliced bread, and that's not the case. SmackDown games have been better than No Mercy and the N64 series since SmackDown:Just Bring It.

And although I'd like to see the grapple system and instant replay aspects borrowed from the No Mercy system[which was what I meant when I referred to SD "borrowing things from No Mercy"], I still think the SD games have a good base for SVR 07. Admiring a past game and advocating it as the base for a totally new game are two different concepts. Which is a point I made earlier that, seemingly, went over your head.

Anyways, SVR 07 will be its own game. The graphics are amazing and the gameplay system sounds cool with the addition of more accurate groups of grapples for different strength types[i.e. Big Show not being able to do a hurricanrana ].

I just hope Yukes will work hard this year and give us a Season mode that doesn't get too repetitive, as SVR 06 only had a few memorable moments before getting repetitive.
