Humans disgust me. Vile creatures.
Tonight, I'm trying to finish a Fire Pro Returns League play I started ages ago. Big worldwide tag thing, I just threw in a bunch of my favourite teams. Computer matches are simmed in fast motion, cause I put 20 teams in there. I'm playing as the Kings of Wrestling.

Here's the top 10 as of right now. I love that the top 10 has 13 teams in it.

1. Jerishow - 69 pts
2. Akira Tozawa & BxB Hulk - 55 pts
3. Kings of Wrestling - 50 pts
4. Team Hell No - 49 pts
5. Motor City Machine Guns - 44 pts
5. Great Muta & Tajiri - 44 pts
7. Kota Ibushi & Kenny Omega - 39 pts
8. Prince Devitt & Ryusuke Taguchi - 35 pts
8. World's Greatest Tag Team - 35 pts
10. CM Punk & Colt Cabana - 30 pts
10. Ziggler & Swagger - "
10. Gabriel & Kidd - "
10. The Colony - "

I was in 4th place, but WGTT just beat Team Hell No in loving 48 minutes when Charlie Haas choked out Kane with a crossface chickenwing. Even watching it in fast mode was petty awesome. Jerishow are looking pretty unstoppable.

Teams I was surprised to see in the bottom 20 - The Young Bucks (10 pts), Ambrose & Rollins (25 pts), Generico & Steen (25 pts). Great Sasuke and Jinsei Shinzaki are in last with 9 points.

Goddamn this game still rules.

Did that just happen to be your 4000th match, or can you actually get Ladder Reward cards off a regular draw?

I just happened to also pull a sweet Epic on my 4000th match.

Supercard chat:

I managed to just squeak by with getting Epic Undertaker from RtG this time, whereas I got stuck on 50/140 last time. So.... progress. He replaced underleveled non-Pro UR Mark Henry on my RtG team for the moment. If I keep smashing 2 KotRs a week for the next couple of weeks, I might be able shove every SR/UR off my RtG team except Pro-UR Batista, my only Pro-UR ever. I guess the plan is just to keep pairing Epics forever until I start getting some Legendary drops off exhibition (I should move out of Legendary and into Legendary+ some time this week when I Pro up Ryback). At what point is it feasible to start trying to break into Legendary KotR? Will a full complement of Pro-Epic dudes be enough?

5 Pro epics would be your absolute minimum requirement for Legend tier. Then you have to slowly accumulate legendary cards and hope for a pro.

Ended RtG at 60/180 through Batista - I don't think I'll ever get a RtG card without spending money/never sleeping, and I refuse to reward them after they made it harder to win it. Didn't even get a Survivor exhibition drop during the event, so back to rolling into KotR semifinals for shots at finding a pair for my 23(!) unpaired survivors

My inventory is now hovering at 111/120, hoping on a card limit raise soon

Epic pro will almost definitely be enough to get you into the quarter finals but winning that match will be a crap shoot. Really depends on how bad the top 4 are sandbagging.

I, too, refuse to reward the makers of the game that I play daily.

I think it's the only way to get Edge and Christian in the game. The only one that seems worth the $10 is the Warrior one because that's adding like 6 or 7 new wrestlers.

Got 113/170 for Sheamus. I might have had a shot, but I think I dropped from 3 to 1 point matches way too soon. Still, a definite improvement--plus, got my 9th maxed Legend pro (Triple H) and I'm working on my 10th (Stephanie.) I should be in better shape for the next one...hopefully I can make it, because holy crap I need Survivor cards and I can't get the job done in KotR.

Are there different brackets for Survivor KOTR then? I wasn't sure sandbagging would work at that level, since whatever you do the Survivor "level" bar is full.

Edit: Oh, you're just talking about being in Survivor but not making the actual KOTR tourney? Cause yeah I can get the two epics no problem, it's actually ranking in the tourney to get the Survivor card that I can't do.

Just missed the tourney by two games this time :smith:

He sits alongside my partially levelled pro-survivor mizdow and RtG sting in the 'better than PCC/RtG tier, but I could really use a pro survivor diva though. 2 max pro survivor singles + diva is the best way to win KOTRs

The Immortals online matchmaker is killing me. My main lineup is three golds, two Legendary III's and a Legendary I. Despite this, the game throws almost nothing but Legendary VII's at me, which have level one specials that take off two-thirds of my health. Combine that with the practically inevitable double-team glitch, and I have to play perfectly to finish out a main event. I may drop this game, but I am still kind of enjoying buying new booster packs and seeing what I get (Cena's the only gold card I don't have at all).

Where the big boys RAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGH FUCK YOU
Don't use all three golds online. One gold + two fillers will usually get you an opponent that has either a similarly leveled gold + some bronze/silvers or three weak golds. Plus pairing the golds with filler cards means you can get three cycles of matches to rank up faster.

Final scores. I was just going to put the top ten, but then I saw the 5 way tie for 11th.

1. Jerishow - 94
2. Kings of Wrestling - 75
3. Hell No - 69
4. Tozawa/BxB - 65
5. WGTT - 60
6. Ibushi/Omega - 59
7. Muta/Tajiri - 58
8. Devitt/Taguchi - 50
9. MCMG - 49
10. Ziggler/Swagger - 45
11. Cabana/Punk - 40
11. Gabriel/Kidd
11. The Colony
11. Ambrose/Rollins
11. Wyatt/Harper
16. Generico/Steen 35
17. Sasuke/Shinzaki 29
18. Rhodes Scholars 24
19. Young Bucks 15
20. Prime Time Players 10

Jerishow trounced the competition - totally undefeated. Young Bucks were tied for last with the PTP, but they pulled out a win over Wyatt and Harper at the last minute. I probably need to up the stats on my Bucks if they're doing that poorly.

I haven't lost a match this tournament yet because of my cybrock/Gold DB/super cena combo. Brock just builds meter so fast when he's mashing light attacks it's insane. I've fired off 3 f5s in a match at times.

So the Christian 2K Showcase DLC gives you an extra Del Rio, Mark Henry, Sheamus, and Randy Orton. However the Mark Henry 2K Showase DLC seems to give you an extra Daniel Bryan, Usos, Big Show, Kane, Ryback, Sheamus, Mark Henry, and Randy Orton. Then there is the Warrior 2K Showcase DLC that gives you an extra Warrior, Hogan, Taker, and HHH. So in total with the DLC ones and the already in game versions there are multiples of these characters: 2 William Regals(Next Gen only), 2 Stings, 2 Ultimate Warriors, 2 HHHs, 2 Undertakers, 2 CM Punks, 2 Batistas, 2 Chris Jerichos, 2 Jimmy Usos, 2 Jey Usos, 2 Rybacks, 2 Big Shows, 3 Kanes, 3 Alberto Del Rios, 3 Hulk Hogans, 3 Mark Henrys, 3 Daniel Bryans, 3 Sheamuses, 4 Randy Ortons.

It seems insane that making duplicate characters is still the only way they know how to do this. Or even if it is, that they can't put something in the UI to appropriately hide the fact that they're duplicate characters and not different versions or whatever
