IIRC the bullshit with only being able to eliminate people when they're on the ropes started with SVR 07 right?

I forget, but I vastly prefer people accidentally getting knocked out by stray strikes, as it was before.

Edit: At least in this one they are doing moves

Still has the problem of AI just staring at each other. Also they're not smart enough to take advantage of opponents going to the ropes or to break off targets.

Making the rope struggle that's a rest spot between actual stars entering the match the only way to eliminate is so awful.

Or when you get the AI going for chain eliminations by immediately walking into a grapple as soon as they escape an attempted elimination.

Holy poo poo, Al Snow trying to superkick Mr. rear end only to have Cactus Jack pull Snow out of the ring. Then HHH eliminates Mr. rear end to win. Perfect.

That was an amazing finish. I'd be pissed if it happened in a real rumble but in a good way, in a 'gently caress you Foley for turning heel' kind of way

Al Snow hits an eliminated Cactus Jack with a German Suplex, and when Jack gets revenge you act like Snow is the good guy? Typical goons.

the first world was a mistake

The "button mashing to eliminate someone against the ropes only" poo poo began with the first SD vs RAW game. Up to and including HCTP, the series allowed the eliminations with strikes and certain grapples.

As bleh as it is today, it was a real slog back when it was first introduced. And if you got double teamed, you were as good as done.

The annoying thing about the 2K rumbles is you're never going to get someone going the distance unless they're a main eventer. Unlike with the older Smackdowns, anyone can win the rumble because it only takes a moment to eliminate someone.
