Smackdown Vs Raw 2011

Complaint: Removing the door in Hell in a Cell? So the only way to exit is to powerbomb or to do a big move to your opponent in order to exit? COME ON! When I leave my house for work in the morning, I open the door, I don't wake my brother up and press slam him through the window or slam my dad through the door! It's a major complaint for me, but luckily it's only for Hell in a Cell option.

Other than that, I like what I see. New animations to moves. Weapons being used in HITC, I've been waiting to do that for a while now. Last Ride off the top of the cell through announce table? Great. And what I liked the best was the physics action at 6:22. Samoan drop onto steel steps, and it's sold. Major Haven't seen that since No Mercy.

I don't like the slow-motion finishers. That's drawn out. I think it should be a choice for the player, like in Shut Your Mouth if you hit L1 or R1, it does a certain animation. Also, maybe this is added I don't know, is there a way how we can reverse the finishers DURING the finisher? Taker gets me up in a last ride, can I counter into hurricinrana? I'd love to see that....

In the HITC video punk reverses takers last ride into an arm bar or something in the middle of the move. So I guess the answer to your question is.... YES!

See, I feel the opposite of this. With the exception of Foley/ Taker, every HIAC match has had a LOT of time inside the cell, and most recent ones haven't gone outside at all.

On the game side of things, they are trying to build a simulation for the most part, so they've just made it harder to get outside the cell. And in having to use a finisher to get outside, it builds the anticipation of getting outside, instead of the old 'the match has started, lets go on the cell' that I usually find happens in HIAC matches.

I remember when me and Disturbed had a HIAC on one of the older SvR games for 360 on XBL, and we went straight outside, and fought in that little crowd area they used to have, and ended the match there after like 20 mins. Yeah it was fun, but it took away the whole point of it being a HIAC match. Might as well have had a hardcore match.


My point being, that at least while you're both fighting for a finisher and trying to escape the cell, it puts a hell of a lot more emphasis on being in the cell itself.

Well, I agree on what you say. It's just in the previous SvR games, they HITC has been completely boring. It's like the cell was there just because it was THERE, you understand? There were no envirornmental grapples or anything, so in order to use the cage and all as a weapon, I had to run outside and climb to the top or something. Being stuck inside just seemed like a regular match with the cell as a cool effect.

It seems like now they have improved the match with the environmental grapples and all, including weapons (I've only seen chairs and steps) and all. I like how in that clip Undertaker was on the apron and Punk clotheslined him off the apron onto the cage. I was focusing on the negative, but for this year, the HITC looks like it has hope
