I'm finally playing this and having fun now that I'm figuring things out. What are SWA and S1 rules? 4th match in I get 97% rating beating Elgin as Omega in a very fun match 18 minute match with lots of near falls. Couldn't for the life of me figure out how to do Kenny's finisher though. 

Gotta grapple from behind to trigger One Winged Angel

For an example of what @Apsham is talking about, look at any of the videos I posted here. All of them with the exception of the jobber reel was CPU vs CPU.

Playing the game is fine, but I find it kind of limiting to just do that.

One of the biggest selling points - you probably know - is the fact that eventually you'll be able to find and create absolutely anyone you'd want to. But a big part of that, as we have been discussing in here - isn't just that they look right and have the right finisher, but the logic assigned to the wrestler. It's everything from 'does this wrestler ever go to the top rope' to 'what sequence of moves do they use to finish a match' and anything along those lines. After a period of time when the gameplay starts to become repetitive no matter who you are playing as (this happens in the 2K games as well), setting up tournaments/leagues/your own shows and watching the matches themselves are a big part of the appeal for many.

Cheers for that, definitely something I'd be interested in so I'm going to keep an open mind about picking this up.

How are people downloading all these wrestlers? I can't find it anywhere.

Steam Workshop if you’re on PC

[apsham]

firepro-w.com if you're on the PS4.

You sign in with your PSN account and can search/subscribe to items there. You can do it in browser from the game under the edit option but, eh - don't bother and just do it on your laptop or phone because you'd need to shut down the game and restart it to get them to download anyways. After that, you have to go into the edit options and create new teams (you can do a Promotion which acts as a new tab or Stable which acts as a new sub-group under that tab) and move the guys you downloaded from Retired to there in order to use them.

After WK12 is it having me start over? Like if I pick the Main Unit am I just going to play the same matches again?

What's the difficulty like on this?

1) The matches are usually super fun and with such a wide range of wrestlers, usually very different. Obviously you want to win, but playing the matches tend to be so fun and not screwy (I never feel the computer “cheeses” and wins unfairly) so it doesn’t bother me if I do lose.

2) Difficulty goes from you “being able to win every match to you better be damn good if you want to win”.

3) Once you realize you need to “build up” to the big moves and start small and slow, you’ll be fine. I was frustrated when I started Fire Pro back on PS2 because I was trying to do the more impactful moves from start. You have to “build up” the match.

Oh yeah, is there any sort of tutorial or training mode?

[apsham]

Yeah, there's a whole mode to teach you the basics, followed by a series of challenges to test them.

[VerbalPuke]

That’s awesome, I’d like to get it eventually, probably next year when the price goes down.

Can't speak about Fighting Road, but the difficulty lies mostly in getting the timing right. The higher the AI level the better you'll need to be with timing. At 4 with enough practice you'll be able to win grapples at will. At 10 you need to be frame perfect.

There's also skill involved with striking and running moves, too, as there's a certain range when moves will land and if you're too far or too close you may miss (or in the case of running moves, you could miss or cause a collision/possible double down).

Once you get it down then the challenge is in getting the best match ratings with the AI.

[apsham]

I got around to looking at the female wrestlers that the RonnieH guy made.

Nooooope. Almost all of them have the same creepy doll face.

Want that on a scale of 1 to putting Road Dogg through a table?

lol fuck this guy

[Meacon Keaton]

He looks like a guy that would care enough to do something like that. 

[apsham]

There's him and that lilcruz guy who are going around doing it - my god, I don't remember anything like this happening on Steam. They need to add collections and similar features to the website.

As someone who can't view that, what's going on?

[apsham]

People are essentially stealing and re-uploading other people's work for one reason or another. In some cases, they were taking from people who made creations in Japanese and weren't translating the in-game names over. Other times it's just a blatant copy and rip.
