Bad girls think that you're being a boob punch

KOTR in the Ultra Rare tier is practically unwinnable if you grind for cards. The top seeds all have Epic and Legendary cards. I'm assuming their reserve and support cards are Common/Uncommon so their decks qualify for UR.

I took second in a SR++ KotR and only because the dude who got first charged his energy after I did.


I'm now in a UR KotR and I don't think I'll even qualify. I'm at like 4-10

I've maxed out 3 SR-Pros, and my single UR Macho Man, but I've hit a wall with drawing anything but Charisma Boosts and so on. Of the last 10 "rare" draws, I've gotten 8 useless boosts (already maxed), a rare Titus O'Neill, and some other lovely rare.

It's like the game is telling me "play KOTR now", but I'm one pixel away from UR rank in KOTR.

the 3d Fire Pro game (Iron Slam '96) on PS1 is so immensely bad, but, uh, all of the endings involve your guy doing victory poses over Antonio Inoki's dead body. Just Inoki, trying to stand up as his heartbeat quickens, then goes silent as he hits the mat. Then Hulk Hogan flexes.

Fire Pro Wrestling, will you please stop being the "Everybody Dies" wrestling game series. Your friends are starting to worry.

edit: Has nothing on the ending of the Atsushi Onita FMW fighting game, though, where you (Onita, Tarzan, Fuji, or some guy named Sambo Asako) fight Antonio Inoki on the steps of the Diet Building to reveal the secret shadow president of Japan and blow up the Diet upon winning.

Smackdown vs Raw 2006- you can solve the mystery of who ran over Teddy Long or watch Undertaker put Eddie Guerro in a casket months before his death! Also great caw mode and the game still has a lot of moves in it.

We played the poo poo out of that game back in college. Battle Royal was our jam.

Whoever got to be Sting in the middle of it was the luckiest person, 'cause it would cut away from the ring and show him coming down from the rafters. And we'd all yell "OH MY GOD! IT'S STING!"

Wrestlemania 2000 and No Mercy are both widely considered the greatest N64 wrestling games because they use the AKI engine which feels really intuitive on the N64 controller. So if you didn't like Revenge which uses the same engine, you're probably going to be relatively alone with that opinion.

Well just in general, the N64 had a really strange controller, so there's gonna be a learning curve in any case. Yukes games have always been clear descendants of the Smackdown games, so in general the pacing is much faster than No Mercy's more methodical bouts (though not quite as frenetic as the early games). Instead of the weak / strong grapple system you have four different standing grapple positions (differentiated by the right thumbstick), each with 5 possible grappling moves, 1 submission and 1 tie-up strike. When an opponent is picked up after suffering enough damage / kicked in the stomach after the torso's been worked / thrown hard against the turnbuckle, they become dazed and you have the option of 5 stronger grappling moves (powerbombs, piledrivers, etc). Depending on game settings and the charisma stat of the worker, you build up momentum Submissions work in a relatively straightforward way - different moves work different parts of the body and once it goes into the red, they're at the point where a sustained hold will make them tap.

2K14 is probably a good place to start if you wanted to get into the modern games. Not perfect, but it's good, especially at what the current price point probably is.

No interest in the modern games, I was just wondering about adjusting to HCTP. After hearing for so long how it's the best of the PS2 games, I wanted to get an idea what to expect from the controls.

When emulating, I never had any trouble mapping N64 games to a Playstation controller. Mapping the directional C buttons to your Right Analog is a really good way to do it, though it can take some getting used to depending on the game. For AKI engine wrestling games the only slightly awkward thing about that is the placement of the run button.

DIRECTIVE 236: Promote pro-social values
Once you reach a certain level, around Ultra Rare, the drops of good cards become so scarce that you pretty much end up with one or two great cards and others that can't hang at all because you'll never get a second drop to make them Pro.

I've had success at this level by straight up throwing every tag match I get. The computer teams are fairly predictable and will usually waste 1 or 2 of their good cards on a tag match, sometimes they'll even waste a stat boost on it. Much better to just pick your worst 2 cards, lose the tag match on purpose, and then use your good cards to win the individual matches and then win 2 out of 3.

Of course, this strategy kind of requires that you have a good diva card that can always win you those matches. I have a maxed Pro AJ that basically never loses, so this is a sound strategy at the moment until I luck into better cards someday.

2Time TRP Sack Race Champion

Yeah, progression kinda plateaus around the UR++ level, as your ceiling on card power is SR Pro/UR regular, and you gain UR cards slowly enough that you're unlikely to get a pair to Pro up. KoTR seems like the most reliable way to get past that point, but at that tier you'll be fighting against pay2win guys with Epic/Legendary cards. Actually finishing in the top 2 is tough, because your team will be 10 similar power level cards which won't be able to beat a team of 5 epics + 5 commons if the user is managing energy properly.


I'm at this point myself and I've run out of guys to level with fully levelled SR pro's Andre, Big Show, Vince and UR Cena and Naomi. I _could_ level up another andre and batista SR pair.... but that's a lot of xp for something that's only marginally better than my UR Cena/SR pro vince tag team

Questions about KOTR:
Do you simply need a winning record to advance to the tournament in KOTR? So, there's 45 rounds of qualifying. Once my record is 23 and X, I can just put it down for a while, right?

Does your record in qualifying have any impact in your seeding for the tournament? It seems like I've gone in twice with great records, once started against the #2 guy, once against #11 or something... could someone corroborate this? :)

Also, is it possible to move from Super Rare to Ultra Rare DURING the tournament somehow? Either by being right on the cusp and training those cards and bumping the meter, or some other method?

You need to finish top eight. I don't know how tiebreakers are done, probably h2h since you play 3 games against everyone.

Yes, you're seeded based on your rank in the standings.

I don't think so.
