Trivial/Mundane Stuff You Notice in Wrestling Games

[Cvslfc123]

in Smackdown Just Bring It, the wheels of the Undertaker's bike and Fred Durst's car don't move.

I remember playing as a Steve Blackman/X-Pac tag team in WWF Attitude, after they'd win they face each other in the ring and do their taunts in celebration. Blackman's was a bow and Pac's was crotch chops so you can imagine how it looked with him doing that as Blackman bent his head down into that exact area.

All of the people that showed up during the Invasion storyline never made the cut for WWF SmackDown! Just Bring It.
The final appearance of APA Bradshaw was in WWE Raw 2.

Tip for any WWE game - go grab a table, set it up in the corner and repeatedly run into it.The cretin will inevitably sling-shot you into it and you'll win

[Injustice45]

There are three Hulk Hogans in SvR 2006, and all four faces of Foley are in SvR 2007.

That hasn't worked in a few years. They removed the table from under the ring.

In Day of Reckoning 2, if you manage to have a ludicrously long competitive one-fall match (30+ minutes) against a mate sometimes your character will sort of bug out and stop moving (if stood up) or stop being able to recover for a long period of time (if down after being attacked), I believe it's to do with the stamina system and no one expecting people to be able to play one match for 30 - 60 minutes against a friend.

Some people have told me it's a subtle feature of pure exhaustion in the game, but the fact you can not get up at all unless someone attacks you and you try to recover after the animation finishes makes me believe it's a hilarious game deepening glitch.

Reason 30899084 why DOR2 is the best wrestling game ever: even the glitches & bugs give depth to the best system ever.

I'll never forget the time I had an hour and 45 minute four-way Hell in a Cell in Day of Reckoning. One of the most amazing video game experiences I've ever had; only complaint I have is that when Orton eventually won (over Michaels, RVD, and Taker) it was via chinlock.

[Injustice45]

I was playing Day of Reckoning last week, and played a singles match. I chose Kurt Angle, and I made The Rock my opponent. We had a back and forth match that lasted ten minutes, until The Rock took me down with three Rock Bottoms for the win. Then I had a rematch, and that lasted another ten minutes until I ate a Rock Bottom for another loss. That being said, you can really have some great, intense matches in Day of Reckoning.

In SmackDown: Just Bring It, you can make your wrestler sit on an unfolded chair for some reason.

I think you can do that in RAW 2 as well? Nevertheless, I thought it was cool.

Speaking of RAW 2, you could set chairs up in that game and perform planchas from them. I remember having an awesome match that ended after I set up my own Poetry in Motion in the corner with a chair and obliterated Kane.

I don't think we ever had the "count the 2 downed wrestlers" spot in any WWE game.

Okay, I say this all the time: In HCTP, if you play as a heel in season mode, depending on the routes you go, it's like Bizarro World in that the heels are like faces and vice versa. I remember playing as a heel and during the faction storyline, the faces started acting like heels.

Yeah, it was a mechanic in early SvR games.

Basically, if you and your opponent were low on stamina, as soon as one of you would hit a big move, you'd both stay down and the ref would start a 10 count. It worked like the sleeper spot where you had to hit "X" in the right zone to get up. If no one managed to get up, the match would end as a draw. If someone did get up, they get a stamina boost and would be at their feet while the other would be still out of stamina and on the ground.

Also, you can throw snowballs in Shut Your Mouth.

[Injustice45]

SvR 2006 had Double KOs. You can jump off of a helicopter that happens to be in Times Square in Here Comes The Pain.

[rapidfire187]

In the first Smackdown game (and maybe the 2nd as well), the Hardy's both had a taunt that involved just getting down on their hands and knees. This is to set up Poetry in Motion. You can also do Poetry in Motion off of the back of another wrestler as they're trying to get off the mat.

The "tap 'A' repeatedly to get up" was hell on the thumbs. But, hell worth it.

This happened to me in WWE 12 during a triple threat hell in a cell match. I was down for no less than 5 minutes until i was lifted to my feet by an opponent.

R-Truth has a specific countering animation. When he dodges a clothesline, he does a split.

Oh god yeah, I've pretty much given up on playing WWE '12 due to that happening repeatedly.

At first I thought it was fun, but without at least 4 characters involved it's just...boring.

Also, when someone gets eliminated in an Elimination Chamber match on half of all wrestling games they disappear through the wrong side of the chamber when walking out most of the time.

I can only imagine how bloody your finger stumps were during it.

I mean, doing a 30 minute Iron Man one on one vs Kurt Angle on DOR2 usually means I can't feel my hands for half a day afterwards, so that's dedication.
