turn it all around

I just started playing No Mercy again on my "play every N64 wrestling game on Twitch" quest and I'm surprised at how easy I'm finding it.

On my first run I tried an exhibition match at Expert difficulty and Taz beat my rear end in 3 minutes.

In the story mode for the Light Heavyweight Title, though, I'm picking up wins in under a minute.

Is the story mode weighted differently than simple exhibition matches? Because right now I feel like the best No Mercy player on the planet (aside from these god forsaken handicap matches).

Can you sim matches in Wrestling Empire? Either exhibition matches or as part of the story.

Also I reinstalled supercard the other day and they have all these bizarre new tiers including "Swarm" which features bug parts on every card.

I don't think CPU vs CPU matches are in now (at least, I didn't find a way to do it), but I imagine they'll be added in because otherwise the booking mode would just involve you having to play one side of the match

Well, the impression I get from searching is that the current training method in Wrestling Empire is potentially a placeholder until free roam is added. Not fully sure though, there’s not a lot out there.

Is there a trick to First Blood matches? I’ve only had the two, and they’ve gone nearly an hour each and ended seemingly out of nowhere while doing nothing different. As much as I love nearly beating Ric Flair and Alexa Bliss to death with steel pipes, it’d be nice to know if there’s an easier option.

I ran into that issue last night. Reading some stuff online made it sound like it might be bugged, so I just quit the match and took the L

The more clever move would've been "Gen. O'Cide"

But again he still has "Ghetto Child" up there for Taz and uh...no thank you. But on the other hand "Flex Beanbag" for Buff Bagwell is hilarious. In conclusion MDickie is a developer of contrasts.

I almost don’t see why he didn’t just use the real names when he’s got actual pictures of WWE talent on the walls in the game and such. I guess there’s a fine line between getting sued or not.

My favorite bit: Booker asks you to work another match on the same night. Sure why not. Oh, I just won the world title.

It's one of those too strange for reality, but then I remember WCW.

Yeah pretty much the entire world is booked by Russo. Sucka G was my tag team partner, turned on me in our very first match, and instead of a DQ it was now a 3-vs-1 handicap match with no announcement. I managed to survive until the clock ran out but then the match was immediately restarted.

Got a contract with Maple Leaf Grappling because i pinned their world champion, Perry Class (Ric Flair), in an interpromotional tag match where it was restarted twice meaning he ended up pinned 3 times.

Immediately get put into a title feud first match. Win the world title off Perry Class in a match that went to a time limit draw and restarted.

The following week there's a 5v5 "war" match between my team and Class's. He betrays his team for some reason and we win easily.

Then on the same night the booker asks me if I can do another match. I say yes and surprise it's a title defense against Kongo (Kamala) which i fortunately manage to win.

This game is great.

Which is what happened in my first save. Challenged to lose, have every show cancelled, get fired for not losing despite the impossibility. At least this time’s a 0 match win-streak because he double-booked me in two Confrontations on a week where I was sick, and a week after I’d been threatened if I didn’t job to someone after getting a 1 match win-streak.
