I'm not sure if even 2K could get glitched enough for Hogan to win a strap match against Ric Flair by pinning Vader. Has a game ever had a strap/bullrope match? Seems like it would have happened but i cant think of one.

i'm chuckling trying to imagine the gameplay on that mode. Especially if they made it available for online 1 v 1 haha

Thanks. That actually worked out better than I expected it. I downloaded a mod that let wrestlers go outside during landmine matches, with the expectation that they would go outside and trigger a bunch of explosions, and it would be cool. What ended up happening, even though there were only 2 landmine spots, was a pretty great dominant heel(Doomslayer) vs tenacious face(Scorpion), with a pretty great finish.

The strap match may be the worst gimmick match of all time so we're continuously dodging a bullet there.

The only good strap/chain match I’ve seen was the one with Psycho Clown and Rey Escorpion from AAA this year where both participants gave zero shits about the stipulation and just beat themselves bloody.

It only sold about 1/3 as much as the annual WWE game, basically. It was a lot more fun, but a huge chunk of the market is going to buy a single WWE game in a given year and they'd rather get the simmy one with the current roster than a weird arcade game.

Had a match bug out for the first time today. One of the participants just kinda stood there, flipping a little back and forth, and the other two wrestlers would kinda flip a little when approaching her, and this was an elimination match so I decided that couldn't work and restarted it with the same people.

The downside of all the mods is that they do increase the performance burden of the game on my old laptop. Though apparently I can just exit out of all the windows if I don't need to do anything with them. It's stalled a couple of times and that never happened before.

Still, I'm hyped because I opened a third promotion- Planet X Wrestling- that's all the weirder fictional wrestlers I've gotten from workshops (and a few I made.) Jet Jaguar is the men's champ, Brienne of Tarth is the women's champ, I don't have quite enough people for tags yet (and that'll have to be intergender in any case.)

I wonder what the console version is gonna do for custom textures and all that- hopefully there's some image editor.

Yeah. The holdup, if anyone's curious, is that I'm planning on commissioning some original ring art and logo art and whatnot (along with probably a custom stream overlay that's less big and distracting than the one I was using), and getting money together for that has been... a bastard. I meant to have it done by the end of May, and now it's the middle of fuckin' June and it's not really in immediate sight.

The obvious thing to do would be do a donation-drive stream and make its ghetto-ness :thejoke:, but something about that feels a little lovely and cynical, so I dunno.

There hasn't been a concrete word on how edit sharing will work, or even if you'll be able to import images to use as ring graphics, which is concerning.

Y'know, something I've notice among people streaming wrestlegames, from VGCW to New Legacy to the Greater Fire Pro Community, is that almost all of them have minimal overlays, hell quite a few remove the in-game UI's as well. Then again if yours are good enough, it might set a new standard, so who knows. Art is Expensive, you may be better off banging out whatever kind of simple logo you can with free fonts and GIMP and then upgrade when you can, just to get the ball rolling. Promotion and making a consistent, entertaining product is way better than a fancy custom logo as I, with my decent custom logo and custom ring graphics, can attest to. Just start booking and running and get the aesthetics when you can. Speaking of which:

They're fuckin' great. Could use a little more curation, there's a lot of edits in those that don't have logic/movesets or are otherwise not great, but they're a really good resource to pull fictional character edits from.

I used them to find characters I didn't initially think about. Like for "Oh yeah, that guy/girl/alien/robot" characters. I agree that they could be better curated. Not only are several lacking logic, personally I'm not a fan of when collections have multiples of the same character, because then I'm stuck trying to figure out which one is 'the best', and I feel that should be the responsibility of the one making the collection.

You wanna get through this?
It's tough downloading CAWs from the workshop for me since mine are built around my personal preferences for AI rather than effectiveness. My CAWs end up losing a lot so I have to modify whatever I download. At this point I've basically gone "gently caress it" and just use CAWs I've made myself. I should update my uploads but most of them use the custom moves mod so I don't think I even can.

On the topic of edits, I feel like I'm the only person running a Fire Pro Thing that isn't exclusively using their own personal, hand crafted, artisanal edits.

It's not that they're totally alien but they don't seem to give satisfying matches against edits I've downloaded. Maybe it's the other edits that are the problem.

I do, however, tend to do lowish stats and thus far haven't used the special attributes like Reborn and stuff.
