Lacey is really good actually
Pins i can deal with timing minigames can be hit or miss depending on the person though but that submission system is the drizzling shits, it doesnt matter if you use the stick escape or the button mash its still absolute trash

I'd rather kicking out of a pin by button mashing, I can mash the poo poo out of a button.

See, I got the timing down for both a while back and it means that I can can pretty much guarantee a submission after a certain point in a match, and also that I can kick out unless I explicitly gently caress up. And it sucks. Its terrible. It takes away a great deal of tension. They are both bad mechanics even if you are good at them.

Can't argue that wouldnt want to try, both systems need a revamp, it wont happen because they want to keep that resilience perk in the game and i honestly fear how much worse the systems could get

Guess we arent getting info on any modes today there is still a chance an entrance could show up though, but at this point i would guess monday at the earliest

the submission system sucks rear end and should be completely rebuilt from the ground up but they have ten months and about eight dollars to make each year's game so they're never going to replace something that's already done

Fire Pro does it well. You don't need to mash. But, you probably will. Basically, if you have the spirit to kick out, you just need to press the button and you will if you have it to kick out in you at that point in the pin fall. This allows you to milk it for 2.9's if you want or kick out early if you want. I do think getting out of submissions involves the equivalent of wiggling the stick or d pad.

Hey, Johnny, what's a "shitpost"?
From my understanding, each time you hit the button while pinned in Fire Pro, it regenerates some spirit, the stat you need to resist being pinned/submitted. So mashing is beneficial, but if you are earlier in a match, you can totally just hold the button down or just tap it a couple times. Later in matches, you'll have to mash to kick out. For the CPU, Ukemi also gives them a possibility of kicking out when they would otherwise eat a pin late in a match. Dunno if there's any way for a player to benefit from that.

Her style is new but the face is the same as it was so long ago...
My understanding of the ukemi mechanic is that you can hold the button to take a move you would otherwise counter, this builds the ukemi meter. When you would be pinned later in the match, the meter is discharged and gives you a spirit boost which helps you kick out. The ukemi percentages you set in the logic are the chance the AI has to sell a move they could have reversed.

I’m mediocre to ok at most video games but I swear I might be like top ten in the world at tapping a button repeatedly, I just kind of vibrate my thumb furiously instead of actually tapping

i don't know how to tap a button really fast. i pretty much seize up all my hand joints and focus on only moving one of them and it works well for like 4 to 10 second intervals but i will gently caress it up at some point and lose pace with anyone who can mash a button consistently like a robot

This Saturday our 9th Special Event, called DETERMINATION, will take place.

In our Main Event Malfest Goat-Monster challenges Pantha for the Hellweight Title after winning the Showdown Tournament in impressive fashion and even getting a shock victory over the legendary VACANT.

Speaking of beating VACANT: Only one person can get a shot at the Hellweight title on this show but EGO also managed to beat VACANT. So EGO will do battle with Fomore who is clawing their way into the title picture on an effort to become the first Quadruple Crown champion.

With Freddie Hope's match against Flamander not happening for another four weeks he postpones his training at the Old Dojo for a little warm up against the entirety of the oRa 66. But not without the help of the Young Devils he's been training.

Meanwhile, Flamander continues to hold the Bunny Championship :3 heading into his fourth defense against none other than Roy, who defended the Title four times before he lost it.

On a lighter note: Our Seven Deadly Pins match this time is all Hosses. The Battle of Hoss Angeles... or Hoss Diavolos, I dunno. Eight pieces of beef slapping together repeatedly.

Yo, this is happening soon. We start in 10-15 Minutes https://www.twitch.tv/iggy_igsen

This. I spend most of my time playing these games on mute listening to my own music. Between the looping soundtrack and the god awful commentary it's just better. They do need to bring back soundtrack as entrance music though.

i have absolutely no fucking money
I found a copy of Day of Reckoning for the Gamecube at a thrift store last week. i've been playing the story mode and it loving sucks. The only thing you get to choose is if you go to Raw or Smackdown, everything else is decided for you. no branching paths either, they wrote two storylines and if you lose a match you're just forced to play it over and over again until you win.

I don't know why you would do this when even No Mercy managed to have branching paths for its story

might be nostalgia glasses but i remember DoR being super fun to play, Especially after the 2 gamecube games that came prior to it, Wrestlemania X8 and Wrestlemania XIX were both trash and the story was a masterpeice after Wrestlemania XIX's "destroy the world so wrestlemania doesn't happen and you get your contract back" storyline

People always compared DOR to the AKI games and they had similar feel in some ways, but I dont really feel like they played as well. In the story mode, the 4 man cage match could go to time limit draw over and over again if you didnt get lucky. The ability for moves to interrupt other moves was cool, but what ended up happening was every body was falling down all the time in multi mans. There was also way too much button mash for a game on what I generally found to be a hard controller to use for button mashing.

I'm oversimplifying but yeah. Wrestlemania XIX on GameCube has Revenge Mode where the game becomes a beat'em up across varying stages with weird sub-bosses. The only time you actually wrestle in the ring is for the finale.
