Ah, I see, you wanna join our ranks! If you have WWE 2k14 for PS3, the game we're using for this, you can make your own character and upload him or her using the keyword LPFWA. Let me know in this here thread that you uploaded it and I can go fetch it. Alternatively, if you don't have the game or don't want to make a character yourself, fill in that form below. Please also fill that in if you provide your own character. Also: Please only one per person. There Is one exception but that should remain an exception.

Name: Ideally just fill in your forums handle here. But if you really absolutely want something different I'll allow it.
Gender: The game is dumb and doesn't allow mixed gender matches. But having a good variety of males and females would be super nice.
Your Twitter: The game allows you to put in a twitter handle to be displayed alongside your name. If you fill this in, please use your real Twitter.
Appearance: Describe how you want to look. Or add an image. MS Paint or detailed drawing, doesn't matter, I'll try to make something that resembles it. Just be aware, that if you want to be a being of lava with obsidian pieces cooling in it you might become a Pizza Golem or something, the character creator is strong, but not that strong. What I'm saying is don't just hand me your D&D character sheet). To give you a rough idea of what type of characters we've had so far here's the original LPFWA's Roster and the current one.
Type: What kinda moves will you use? Heavy Hitter? High Flyer? Brawler, Grappler? Whatever? If you want specific moves lemme know, but don't post an entire moveset.
Signature Moves: If there are specific moves you want name them here. These moves typically have to be executed to be able to do a finisher.
Finishing Move(s): Those are the special thingies that hit really hard and are supposed to end the match. If you want a particular one here lemme know.
Entrance Music: (Bonus points if it's free, but try not to use songs by major labels okay. Otherwise it's very possible the video is blocked in Germany and if that's the case I'm not going to use it. For that purpose please provide me with a Youtube Link to the song, unless it's not on there for some reason. It may still get me blocked though. So when in doubt, just don't pick a song that ever was on any radio ever. Game Soundtracks and remixes of any song are usually fine, though)
Hometown / Country: pick from this list (Except for Stilwater, that's not in the game)
Announcer Name: Pick up to four words out of this list in any order. We'll probably talk over it, though.
Other gimmicks, quirks, personality traits and stuff (please note that I may ignore or adjust your suggestions here): This concerns writing. Please don't put things related to your AI here, sadly I can't customize that. Also don't get too specific. This might not even come up for your character after all. Just gimme something to work with. Here's a list of Gimmicks that we already have.




What is LPFWA exactly?
LPFWA (originally Let's Play Forum Wrestling Association, but the meaning of the acronym changes basically every episode) is a wrestling association featuring custom wrestlers created in WWE 2k14 that represent various forumites. It is streamed almost every week mostly on Saturdays. The recordings are usually uploaded the day after. The game allows to make custom storylines with dialogue and stuff opening up all kinds of possibilities. This will be the second "Season" of LPFWA. Here's a quick summary of what you missed in the first one. If you don't even know about the first one don't worry, it was not hosted on SA but the Let's Play Forum (dot net, LPF. Essentially a forum housing a clique of mostly goons). I decided to record one show with the people already familiar with LPFWA so I have something to show for here. I now want to expand it from the Kliq and into the wider territory that is SA. I trust that there's no one who gets mad about Outsiders threatening SA. Like Kevin Nash and Scott Hall did back in the day when they hopped to WCW.

So is this like fake wrestling where everything is carved in stone or what?
It's fake, of course. It's a video game. But the results are not fixed. A show consists of various cutscenes, which of course are completely scripted, but the matches will be fought by the AI. So I can't plan ahead several months to have Junpei Hyde drop/win/spin the Belt at Wrestlemania or something. Instead I have to write stupid storylines on the fly. I'm no writer but I can do stupid.

Do I need to know about stuff that has happened in the past?
No, basically everyone is jumping right into the middle of it. Even people familiar with the first Season because there was a ten year time skip with little explanation of what happened in that time. To give the vibe of a business that has been running for a while I'll reference things that never happened on screen too. Everything else will get explained.

Okay sounds cool. How do I join the fun?
There's many ways in which you can participate. The biggest one is probably having an avatar in LPFWA to wrestle matches. If you want to do that scroll further up. But yes, anyone can join. But I might not be able to implement you all into storylines. I'll try, though. Something that I may or may not do at some point too is to just add people who currently have a match to the Skype call and ditch them immediately once the match is over.

Sometimes there will be parts in the show that offer the audience to make a choice. Things like "How do we determine who gets that vacant championship belt?", "what should the match type for the next match be?" or "Should that guy get a title shot?" There's plenty of possibilities in which the audience can provide some input. Typically this will happen during shows but sometimes there may be polls too. Scroll right back up, look under the header image and you may find a poll you can vote on.

One time per month there will be a Pay Per View (you don't actually have to pay anything to watch it, though). For these bigger events we'll bet on the outcomes of the matches. There's gonna be a prize of some variety. In the past this used to be a steam game worth about ten or 15€. It may be something different now. I'm not sure yet.

The way I set up the stream there's a little bit of dead space under the video. If you want you can create banners to fill that space. These can be joke ads that fit into the universe or not, for instance, or other stuff you find funny. It can also be an actual "ad" for... your Let's Play thread, your Bandcamp page, your blog, your face, your whatever. As long as it comes in banner form, is in good taste and not exceedingly hideous I will allow it and put it in the rotation. Just make sure it's 950 x 185 pixels.

And lastly, there's just being in the audience. Participate in the stream chat. React to what's happening. Have some fun. If crowd reactions indicate that my super funny storyline about my Steve Austin equivalent and Kurt Angle equivalent competing for hugs from my Vince McMahon equivalent (actually happened in WWE) is not well received I may try something else instead. Conversely, if I notice positive reactions I'll run with it until I get bored of it.

Do I have to be a Let's Player to join?
Nope.

I want to make some changes to my CAW. Is it too late for that?
Nope, not too late. Actual pro wrestlers change their costumes or even character several times in their careers. No reason you shouldn't be allowed to do that.

Man, you guys throw some weird words around in this thread and in the streams sometimes, what do they even mean?
We use a fair bit of wrestling terminology. Most of which is actually carny speak. Here's a few of the more common terms explained.
Face: A "good guy" wrestler. The crowd is supposed to cheer for him.
Heel: A "bad guy" wrestler. He's supposed to generate heat.
Gimmick: The character a wrestler portrays. It's not uncommon for wrestlers to switch gimmicks throughout their careers. For instance the Undertaker started as a grave digger and later turned into a Biker. Now his gimmick is being The Undertaker.
Jobber: A wrestler that loses to make other guys look good. Most people job before they become famous. when a guy who's already big jobs it's usually supposed to give the opponent a significant push.
Push: An attempt to make a wrestler more popular OR reviled.
Squash: A squash is a match in which one participant completely dominates the other. It's supposed to make one guy look really good to give him a push, or make the other guy look really bad but most of the time it makes a joke out of the whole thing when the squasher starts winning and losing normally again.
Heat: (Mostly) intentionally invoked negative crowd reaction. If you can get a crowd to really hate a guy they'll stick around to see him get beaten up.
Cheap heat: Heat generated by doing things no one really cares about. Like insulting the local sports team/chess club, wearing the jersey of a rival sports team/chess club. Calling the entire town your in a bunch of inbreds, stuff like that. People will boo, but they usually do it because they see through it.
Cheap pop: This is when you try to get some cheap cheers out of the crowd. For instance by wearing a jersey of the local football team or calling the crowd class A citizens. The crowd usually cheers because it feels great to be called a grade A citizen.
Angle: Storyline
Promo: A segment in which a wrestler talks like he's a crazy motherfucker.
Kayfabe: It means to stay in character and treat wrestling like it's a real thing even when not in the ring. This was more of a thing before the internet but it still kinda is. Essentially wrestlers play their characters all the time.
Botch: loving this up. I mean, botching something. Can be a move that doesn't work right, or misspeaking during a Promo.
Shoot: Going off script, basically. This can mean not maintaining Kayfabe or just intentionally doing something you're not supposed to do. Can be as much as changing the flow of the match or even the outcome. Or steering a storyline in an entirely different direction.
Work: The opposite of a shoot. When everything goes according to plan and is "worked" so to speak.
Worked shoot: Something that's supposed to appear like a shoot to the audience but is actually all part of the plan.
Mark: Someone who thinks wrestling is real.
Smark: Smart Mark. Someone who knows about and is interested in the workings of wrestling. Can still pretend it's all real if he wants, though, because that's more fun.

"If I lose I will set myself on fire."
Champs as well as reigns are spoilered for your safety. Keep in mind that the reigns are listed with the most recent one first.

1. LPFWA Championship.

Current Champion: Dr. Rath
The former champ took the old belt with him when he left the company. So we had to hold a tournament to determine a new champ.
That first champion was Sterv.

Past Champions:
26.03.2016 - ???: Dr. Rath
31.01.2016 - 26.03.2016: Pyroi
24.10.2015 - 31.10.2016: Flamander
01.08.2015 - 24.10.2015: Frederick Hope
20.06.2015 - 01.08.2015: Sterv


2. LP Superstar Championship.

Current Champion: Nuffkins
The "minor" championship belt. It's so there's something to compete over aside from the big belt... which is currently gone.

Past Champions:
26.03.2016 - ???: Nuffkins
31.01.2016 - 26.03.2016: Pomp
24.10.2015 - 31.01.2016: Junpei Hyde
03.10.2015 - 24.10.2015: Eclectic Tastes
19.09.2015 - 03.10.2015: Gryph Hammer
06.09.2015 - 19.09.2015: Pomp
08.08.2015 - 06.09.2015: Face
01.08.2018 - 08.08.2015: Danaru
23.05.2015 - 01.08.2015: Nuffkins
Unknown - 23.05.2015: Punchy



3. Co-Commentary Championship

This is the tag team belt! Only since this is LP themed it's called the Co-Commentary belt. Clever. I know.
Current Champions: Face and Zanzibar Ham

Past Champions:
30.01.2016 - ???: Face and Zanzibar Ham
20.06.2015 - 30.01.2016: Lazyfire and Immortan Joe
23.05.2015 - 20.06.2015: Face and Midnightlight


4. Black's Championship

Current Champion: Immortan Joe
Whatever, you'll just call it Pokeymanz Title anyway. It's a belt that's always on the line. Even if you get jumped on the toilet or ambushed at your house you'll have to defend it. Some may say it's more of a curse, which is why the very first holder of the title, Black, set himself up to be ganged up on by three people just so he could lose it without not putting up a fight. At some point one of the later champions must have just dumped the title somewhere to be rid of it. It hasn't been seen since. But hey, It's listed here so someone will find it, I suppose.

Past Champions:
27.02.2016 - ???: Dr. Rath
30.01.2016 - 27.02.2016: Immortan Joe
30.01.2016 - 30.01.2016: Pyroi
24.10.2015 - 30.01.2016: Flamander
05.09.2015 - 24.10.2015: Frederick Hope
Unknown - 05.09.2015: Dr. Rath


5. Kawaii Championship

Current Champion: Eeevil.
The Women's Title, basically. The game wont allow mixed gender matches so this is how it has to be. If the female division gets big enough I'll also add Tag Titles for women.

Past Champions:
30.01.2016 - 26.03.2016 - Eeevil (of course)
I forgot - 30.01.2016: Aurora
26.09.2015 - I forgot: Eeevil
05.09.2015 - 26.09.2015: Aurora
15.08.2015 - 05.09.2015: Pvt. Scott
11.07.2015 - 15.08.2015: Eeevil
Unknown - 11.07.2015: Aurora


6. The Buscus Title

Current "Champion": Big Scary Owl
The jobber belt. It's always on the line in singles matches. Usually The Buscus will be... "defended" in the very first match of a show. Whoever loses has to take it and open LPFWA like the jobber they are every week until they can pass it on to somebody else.

Buscus Hall of Shame:
Big Scary Owl
Heavenator
Midnightlight
Zore
Fruitsniffer



A timeline of stuff that happened but was never shown on screen:
History:
06.07.2013: The first LPFWA show airs! LPFWA stands for Let's Play Forum Wrestling Association. But the meaning of the acronym changes every show.
For what happened in the following six months see watch this!!

December 2013: IGgy takes back over LPFWA, he doesn't remember how it happened.

March 2014: Schir loses the title he canonically never won. But people stopped caring about what's canon. It's almost like all those times someone who holds the title goes away for a while due to injury then comes back and claims he never lost the title. Only the other way around. Yeah, I dunno either.

July 2014: To honor the one year anniversary of LPFWA IGgy abdicates ownership to Hideo Kojima. There are fewer matches and they are shorter. Backstage segments are extended and make up most of the show. Nuclear deterrence is a common theme in storylines somehow.

November 2014: The sons of Big Boss are born.

February 2015: Kad Snake wrestles a giant mecha piloted by Lad Snake. That same match is repeated a couple more times.

March 2015: Kojima decides he's done with that poo poo, IGgy takes back over again.

July 2015: To honor the two year anniversary of LPFWA IGgy abdicates ownership to Junpei Hyde. Everything is now more anime.

July 2015: IGgy takes back LPFWA because under the anime reign of Junpei the shows mainly consisted of people screaming a lot to charge up their special moves. Wrestlers were also forced to loudly yell the names of their next moves. Pantyshots reached critical mass.

January 2016: A sudden influx of fedoras threatens LPFWA's reputation: The Hattitude Era begins. The Kawaii title is renamed to the M'lady title. IGgy tries to fight back against the fedora flood but is somehow the bad guy in the whole story. People without fedoras are hunted by those with fedoras. poo poo's hosed up.

February 2017: The Hattitude Era ends. Fedora's are no longer considered cool. Kad suddenly disappears and a new Wrestler named Face enters the scene. Face is the only one still wearing a fedora but he does not enforce the fedora agenda. The M'lady title is renamed to Kawaii title again, though IGgy wanted to call it something else. But Anime fans of LPFWA complained and insisted the Kawaii tradition be honored.

August 2021: IGgy got so wicked drunk he completely forgot what happened since 2017 and he accidentally burned the archives of that time period. People don't talk about it either. But we assume things happened.

May 2015: Despite less than two years having passed IGgy decides that ten years have passed and the company suddenly has a rich history despite being on a hiatus for one and a half years. To honor the ten year anniversary IGgy abdicates leadership of LPFWA to himself. On the show prior Sabateini, the current LPFWA champ decides to leave the company due to something that happened in Montreal? Yeah, I dunno either. He takes the title with him.

"If I lose I will set myself on fire."

Danaru posted:

This option should never be off.

Also IMPORTANT CHARACTER CREATION QUESTION: Is it possible to comprise a move set almost entirely out of throwing moves? Winning isn't a priority, I just want to be a human trebuchet.
Every moveset consists of strikes, submissions and various grapples for each possible context (facing standing opponent, behind standing opponent, opponent on ground near legs, in corner, etc. Movesets are HUGE) Some of those context wont allow for throwing moves. The game also forces you to have some non-lifting moves which are automatically applied instead of normal moves to people much heavier to you. So technically it'd be possible to compose a moveset mostly what you want, but there are also some other moves that have to be thrown in if I find the right moves. We already have people with gimmicks such as only suplexes, punches or moves that look like hugs.


Junpei Hyde posted:

Also, Iggy, you forgot the one true poll option: A tournament where dice rolls determine match types.

With flaming tables as one of the options. :getin:

That's not an option. That's a given.

Apr 11, 2013

"If I lose I will set myself on fire."
All right, It would be a good idea to make a short list of gimmicks that already exist. Just to avoid doubles.

Schir - is apparently an alien? Insists he's a jobber no matter what he actually does.

Succinct and Punchy - Punches people

IGgy IGsen - Is pertetually drunk but always claims otherwise.

Frosty the Dragon - Was a Pizza Golem once but then he showered and the Pizza came off. He now looks like a weird dude. Famous for Rreficide.

Fruitsniffer - Really likes to hug people.

Face (Kadorhal) - Is really insecure about whether or not the crowd actually perceives him as a Face because his evil twin Brother Ladorhal pretended to be him for a while. So he changed
his name to constantly remind people he's a face. He also never acknowledges being called Kadorhal once.

Talcott Cargo - A somewhat troubled small man who was a really really thin guy wearing a chicken hat previously.

Nuffkins - He's a human, and not at all a dinosaur. He's not wearing a man-suit. That's his real body. I swear.

Atsl McFluffybottom - A 26 year old teenage rebel. I really big meanie.

Cutie McFluffybottom - A really nice sweet girl. Uses :3 in every day conversation.

Loki Starwind - Is a really tiny guy. Uses big power moves. A Heel or Face depending on whether the person asked has been stabbed in the back by him yet.

Midnightlight - An aggressive salesman wearing a luchador mask.

Stichez - A lurker. No one knows who he is. But he's there. And he's cool as gently caress. I mean look at him.

Junpei Hyde - Were-anime is a good way to put it, yeah.

Interrupter Jones - Likes to interrupt people to fill his black soul with joy.

Aurora - Queen of Suplexes. A definite heel. She basically uses only suplexes with the few exceptions the game makes me add to the moveset.


E: Punchy, you sound surprised. But it's what I said I was gonna do from the start.

"If I lose I will set myself on fire."
Some of them hail back to the old PS2 games yes. I remember some of the stuff from as early as Shut Your Mouth! Maybe even the game before that. But I forgot what it's called.

I made a couple of people. I can still make adjustments if you want (this is always possible, in fact). So if you don't like that stupid-rear end haircut I gave you or I misunderstood you and you actually meant "I wanna come to the ring in a bathrobe wearing a gorilla mask" by whatever it is you said you can let me know.

Right, application.

Gender: Male.
Your Twitter: Alas, don't have one.
Appearance: Goony: fat, neckbeard, glasses, coats, all the tried and true props. Please no fedora. Anything related to cats is fair game too.
Type: Slow and heavy hitting. If I punch, you feel as you fly.
Moves: Fully up to your discretion, although if there's anything involving explosions I'd be all over that.
Entrance Music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0aPZagHteA GO MERMAIDS.
Hometown / Country: Cambodia sounds nice this time of year.
Announcer name: Metal Feline Diva
Other gimmicks, quirks, personality traits and stuff: Any nerd stereotypes you can think of. Except anime. Also, loves cats. Feel free to stick anything with cat theme on the guy.

Now that I look at it it looks kinda boring, feel free to pass me over for more entertaining protagonists.

Boring, you think? Nah, not really. We don't have something like that yet. You can still change your thing if you want though.
By the way: The game would not let me give your guy pants. Because pants are 3D objects and you can only use a limited amount of those because of reasons. The neckbeard was the reason I had to sacrifice proper pants. I was considering just having your legs remain bare but in the end just gave you tights. Which aren't 3D objects but a texture.

Other gimmicks, quirks, personality traits and stuff: Considers himself a Face, but acts like a Heel. Doesn't understand why people don't like him even though he's such a great guy.

You can't see it on that pic but his hair is really drat long. I was considering to take of the coat thingy during matches but in the end decided it has to be there all the way.

Same here, don't want to risk blocked videos (or silenced streams) Please pick another song.

Stuff like soundtracks, remixes and non-major label tracks are usually fine but really well known songs or pop music tends to cause problems. I mean, I'm glad Roundabout didn't get us blocked anywhere so far. I just may try some of those songs regardless and upload them in a test video. But to be on the safe side please offer me an alternate track.

The tag team title is called the co-commentary title. So far a lot of the teams have been people who did commentary for some LP with each other. This is not a requirement though but it's how I'd pick teams. If you want to be in a tag team with one of your forums buddies, though you can just tell me and I'll make it happen. Provided they actually submitted a character.

And yes, I encourage forums women to join in. And guys can choose to have a female Avatar as well. Of course the same is true the other way around.

Made another one coming home from work.
How the hell do I make green rotted skin handsome? The face is kinda hard to morph into a shake that could be called "handsome". So I decided to go a different route.

He could be somewhat well dressed. Kind of... classy? I dunno. Not really my style.


Or he could be well dressed and pretty loving classy. (He has a bullet hole in his chest and the skin is falling off in some spots. If I were into guys I'd be all over him.)


If you want me to change either of those attires or try a new one just let me know, it's not too much effort. I spent more time trying to figure out a way to spell kalonZombie with the options for the Announcer Name (K Long Z World?) than I spent actually making the guy. I just have a lot of trouble to figure out how to make a walking corpse at least somewhat handsome.

Your finisher can be a bitey thing, yes. There are about two of those I think.

Iggy, you had a video put together of (at the time) all the entrances, right? Maybe you should post that here, along with one for the CAWs done after. I think it'd be nice for people to see their dudes in motion.
As of the time of your post I had not made the entrances for the new guys yet. I plan on posting entrances once they exist. Posting about six or so at a time is better than just posting every single one. Which I should be able to do soonish because by now I have most of them done. Most movesets too. I just need to find a few more moves where the wrestler just chucks a guy around for Danaru. Wasn't there a Slingshot Catapult move at some point? I wanted to use that as the finisher but it doesn't appear to be in the game... unlike the Giant Swing.

Y'know, I'm glad you chose the ridiculous over the top joke option because that's what LPFWA is all about. But we can always compromise and you can have the assless chaps, the hat and the fancy shirt. If you really really REALLY want it.

But for now I have compiled all the entrances so far. The first video is already a week or so old and features entrances of those were in the first show.
The second one features what I have of you guys so far and also Nuffkins because he wasn't in the first entrance collection. It's also not fully processed yet so wait a bit if you wanna see it in HD.

LPFWA Entrances #1 (Audio levels are all over the place, most of this has been fixed)
LPFWA Entrances #2 (anilEhilated, Mehuyael, Danaru, Big Scary Owl, Dash Rendar, kalonZombie and Nuffkins in that order)

Of course, if you turn out to be in any way unhappy with your entrance let me know and we can fix things.

Since it's pretty clear you want to see a tournament I'll start that. First round will be plenty of multi-man matches. So there'll be a show with a lot of 3 to 6 man elimination matches. Mainly to condense the first two rounds of a tournament into one and to allow for an odd number of contestants. Because I don't know how many guys I'll get done till Saturday. Plus, gotta make the actual show, of course. And quite a few entrances and Movesets. I can't provide a match card yet but I will as soon as possible.

Also: No offense on the Dedede comment, please. I tend to do things a little differently. Plus it gave me some inspiration on how to fix the face up a little (still gotta do that) because yours just looks much closer to actual Dedede.

I'm not gonna add people who don't want to as a rule. I did that last time and in fact there was a crappy slowbeef that we don't talk about anymore in the show at some point. But if slowbeef wants to join in as Ridley I'll gladly use that.

The game isn't calling you a Battle Royal, it states that "The following six man contest is a Battle Royal". You're the first to enter so the announcer adds the match type at the beginning.
The sixth man, by the way, was Stone Cold Steve Austin and he beat you all up.

E: Your announcer name right now is "Feline, just feline" You can still change that if you wish. I only picked some terms myself because you didn't. It's not that important anyway because we'll most likely just talk over it during the streams and call wrestlers by their "actual" names.

All right, we have a Match card for tomorrow. You all voted to see a tournament, so that's gonna start. First round is a couple of Elimination Triple Threat matches. I actually rolled dice for the participants, but I also rolled dice to determine the match types because that apparently was something people wanted. You can find the tournament tree here. It looks really weird because I arbitrarily decided winners of which group will fight winners of which other groups before making the tree. But I'm sure you can still understand what's going on.

If you watched the above video you'll notice there's a couple matches that are 2 out of 3 falls. Upon testing those matches turn out to not really work as elimination matches. I swapped them for Finisher matches. Which means participants need to successfully execute a Finishing move to defeat an opponent. I set the Special meter build-up to slow

Match #1 - Buscus Title Match.
Fruitsniffer (c) - Interrupter Jones

Match #2 - Tournament Round 1, Group 1, Finisher Match Elimination
Face vs. Sterv vs. Frosty the Dragon

Match #3 - Tournament Round 1, Group 2, Finisher Match Elimination
Lazyfire vs. Danaru vs. Pyroi

Last one to not bleed is the winner, since this is an Elimination match.
If it weren't Elimination the first one to make someone bleed would win.

I wanted those to be elimination matches because Triple Threats can take a long time if they aren't, since the AI will interrupt pins and submissions and basically every attempt someone else has at winning. Normally not a problem, but if there's several Triple Threats it can easily bloat the show from 1:30 hours to 2 hours.

(If you want to see it in anything above 360p wait a couple more minutes, just leaving this here before heading to bed. That was quite a show though. It surprised even me. And I wrote this thing)

All right guys. I reckon you probably have questions concerning the sudden disappearance of Loki and the coinciding appearance of Punchy. Right after the match the police questioned Punchy. He said, and I quote:

What I did? Well. See, I turned the lights off and then I knocked Loki right the gently caress out and stashed him under the ring. The lights went back on and voila! I was there. I was even aping Loki's moves. I later realized that I'm twice as big as Loki and look completely different and stopped pretending.

End Quote. The police then wanted to take him in. But BNF stepped in and said:

OOGAH BOOGAH!

Never thought that would work. But they let him go. We're currently trying to find a way to resolve this situation. On one hand Punchy legitimately won the first blood match by pinning someone. And by not bleeding. Then again, he also lost his proper tournament match. And what about Loki? We surely don't want to deny him his chance at championship plastic under these circumstances. Stay tuned as we figure something out!

"If I lose I will set myself on fire."

Hey, would it be okay to submit two CAWs? Namely, one male and one female, simply to try and round out the Women's league a little more?

I'd prefer keeping it to one CAW per person. There's one exception in form of Rara, because she originally submitted a male because she would have been the only female at the time. I'd like to keep this the only exception to that rule

Man I just watched the video on youtube now.

WWE2K14: "No gently caress this, you can't tell me what to do! ROW ROW FIGHT THE POWAH"
Fun Fact: That's the LPFWA theme.

The theme for our Wrestlemania equivalent being Libera Me From Hell.

"If I lose I will set myself on fire."
Your signature move is a Backbreaker and Leg Sweep Combo.
One of your finishers is an Elbow Drop with posing beforehand you can call the Nerd Rage. The other is a body splash in the corner without any particular names.
I gotta compile a list of the finishers people have at some point if I can be bothered to.

For now I decided to make some women. We have four total now.

So I've uploaded my guy with the keyword LPFWA, it's Frederick Hope. Of course, this tells you nothing about the actual gimmick and whatnot, so


Finishing Move(s): They are a Consequence (Aka the Kinikku Buster from Ultimate Muscle because I am a giant nerd) and a Tombstone Piledriver, but I don't have catchy names for them.
Entrance Music:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjR7JZbdONs (I didn't know how to do this bit soooo yeah)
Other gimmicks, quirks, personality traits and stuff: Incredibly friendly guy who is just super happy to be here. Face, but so well-meaning and eager to please that all someone would need to do is ask nicely for him to do heel stuff. Likes his hair and his home-made Homestar Runner top, and will be mad if anyone insults either.

I hope this isn't too crap, just something I threw together and thought might be fun.


He beat the Undertaker in a test match. Don't worry about your idea being "too crap" or whatever. Firstly: It isn't. But LPFWA is also in part about combining a bunch of really bad ideas. LPFWA itself is a bad idea that came about when I was really drunk once.
Schir, Junpei and myself finished recording some dumb retsupurae type video that was very bad so we don't talk about that. After that we hung out in the call we had going and Junpei decided it would be a good idea to introduce us to VGCW. And I decided it would be a good idea to drink. Later I decided it would be a good idea to buy WWE '13 (at the time) and start a fake wrestling promotion.

And that's the story of how I bought a Wrestling game while drunk. And I didn't even buy it to play it. This is also where the "IGgy is drunk" gimmick came from.

And here we have some more entrances. I realized that I didn't post the entrances of any of the women we had so far so they are in there as well.
LPFWA Entrances #4 (Cutie McFluffybottom, Aurora, Eeevil, DivingCoffeeBinge and Frederick Hope)

Oh man I've been sitting on a number of CAWs for a while now, here's a sampling of some stuff I will upload right after I'm done posting:
I noticed you uploaded all of those. If you wanna join in you'll need to pick one of those and fill in the relevant stuff from the form. Y'know, the stuff that doesn't get transmitted when uploading a character. And of course the name you wanna use.



Also: I'm happy to announce LPFWA Network for only $9.99!!!

Or rather, I made the first fake banner ad type thing that can go under the video. If you have any ideas I may draw your attention to this paragraph from the op. I'd really like for the below-video area to become a little more interesting

quote:

The way I set up the stream there's a little bit of dead space under the video. If you want you can create banners to fill that space. These can be joke ads that fit into the universe or not, for instance, or other stuff you find funny. It can also be an actual "ad" for... your Let's Play thread, your Bandcamp page, your blog, your face, your whatever. As long as it comes in banner form, is in good taste and not exceedingly hideous I will allow it and put it in the rotation. Just make sure it's 950 x 185 pixels.

I don't do them in order. There are a couple people I skipped for the time being for no real reason. Just depends on my mood at the time. I have everyone in a txt file though to make sure I don't forget anybody.

So Iggy, I know you and the hilarious series of glitches and bugs that was released as WWE 2k15 are writing the reality here, but I was wondering what sort of chance there was in starting a stable or suggesting tag teams in the thread. Considering I lost to a goddamn blue duck and the Prince from the Canadian production of Frozen I'd really like to get a band of anti anime people together now.
Sure, you.can suggest st yo stuff like tag teams. Only problem is that getting tag entrances to work requires some unholy ritual. So a team or stable might just be a few dudes coming to the ring individually.

Went by the image and made the robes red. Closest to kinda Jesus-like robes I got. I would also again ask you to change the song. Even if it makes the gimmick meaningless. See the entrance video below. It's kinda weird how it works.

Couldn't get the feathery arms and the beak right. So I added actual wings. I also forgot to set the Sunglasses to be an object displayed during entrances, so the Entrance video below doesn't have the sunglasses. I've added them by now, though.

Gender: Male
Appearance: Buff dude in a halter top and wrestling undies. poo poo green lipstick, and a lip ring. High heels or the most stripper-y boots, if that's possible. Undercut for hair.

Hometown / Country: Mount Olympus
Announcer Name: THE KILLER QUEEN
Other gimmicks, quirks, personality traits and stuff: From what I've seen, it's possible for men to have the animation set of a woman. I want that very much thank you.

Unfortunately there are quite a few articles of clothing exclusive to females. So this is the closest to a halter top I could find. The really stripperiffic boots are also exclusive to Divas. High Heels were possible, though. I don't know why the game even draws a line if it's so blurry. You also have to pick a different song. That one's so copyrighted I can't even get it. I picked a song for now but you will probably still want to pick a replacement yourself.


And here we have the entrance video. Now this one's weird. It's blocked in Germany. The game picks up both of the copyrighted songs. So, I use the "remove this song" feature youtube provides. I had youtube create versions of the video with either song removed. Neither of those songs are blocked anywhere. Is anyone aware of blocks only being issued if multiple songs from different copyright holders are being used? Anyway, here's three versions.
LPFWA Entrances 5 (Blocked in Germany)
LPFWA Entrances 5 (Kanye Song filtered out)
LPFWA Entrances 5 (Ding Ding Dong filtered out)
Youtube does a decent enough job filtering the music while leaving voices intact, I'd still prefer not to have to let youtube filter songs out if I can avoid it, so please ZenVulgarity pick another song. Pomp, I could not even errr, get yours because it was copyrighted so hard. The replacement I got for sake of showing off the entrance got flagged as well. Would be cool if you could pick another one too just to avoid the video being blocked anywhere. Especially in Germany, where I live. I wont use either character until we have music that won't get any video blocked anywhere. Even if it only happens in combination with other flags.

Soundtracks are completely fine most of the time. Other songs can be blocked for a variety of reasons. Most of the time it's some big copyright firm's fault while some artists prefer to not make their songs available in some regions. The video itself wasn't even blocked. It would have been the perfect entrance theme. It just flat out won't let me use it apparently.
