WWE SmackDown! vs RAW 2006

[VerbalPuke]

I like the game, but I've never been a fan of fifteen million reversals throughout a match. The game is a lot of fun though, but my biggest pet peeve is top rope moves. When the opponent is on the ground, they are seemingly useless since the opponent always gets up. This was a problem in prior Smackdown's that seems to have returned, the opponent not staying down long at all. Funnily enough, it seems like my guy is down for an eternity after a simple move. This blows because it's no fun to be RVD when I can't even hit the Five Star Frog Splash properly.

Edit - A Samoa Joe movelist that I'm not keen on losing. If It's already been posted than it can be deleted, but I haven't seen one around thus far. I haven't had the opportunity to really cycle through every page in this thread. But some of you may want it as well.

[Your Mom]

This game just made me really mad!!!!!!!!!!! I was doing the ECW Rematch challenge. Guerrero and I were having this awesome match and I was really close to winning after almost 20 minutes when out of the blue Eddie knocked me down during an exchange on the floor and used a sledgehammer. What the fuck?

[Kazuka]

Why does everyone hate voice overs? I dunno if I'm just afraid of not having any noise in the room as I play a game, but, I enjoy it, the commentary's decent, just repeditive, not that bad...And voice overs are bad, but reading text is for RPGs, And DoR sucks to me, and so does stamina, I'v played SD! games since SYM, and I'm really sick of hearing this infinite stamana crap, You want realism, go play DoR, leave us PS2 bitches alone.

[Kaney]

but reading text is for RPGs

I'd love to hear how you'd like to navigate the menu's then :blink:

And you can turn stamina off, in the options menu.

How do you set up rear finishers?

You can also grab them with any front grapple, then press R1. That ducks behind them and stuns them for a second.

That I did not know, I'll have to check it out. I've always used Xero Gravity's way of doing it. You can also do the turnbuckle clothesline then quickly move behind them as they stumble out of the corner, but it's not as good as the other two ways.

Yeah. It used to be grapple then triangle, but obviously thats used for whipping now. And I used to use that turnbuckle method to set up for my tazmission, it was awesome

[Cactus Drags]

There's that stupid fake-whip-elbow thing that the computer always does too.

EDIT: that's for front ones, sorry.

[Nick Adams]

You can also run at them and push Square...you go around behind them, and you can immediately hit the attack. Pretty cool, actually...

By the way, has everybody else noticed that finishers are countered or kicked out of a lot more often than in the previous games? Much more realistic, but it gets to the point where you're thinking, "What do I have to do to get rid of this guy?" for every damn match.

*shrug*

Voice overs are okay, it just gets kinda' weird how you have to play season mode over and over and over...wait, you had to do that in the other games, too. Okay, forget what I just said.

Fun game, overall, but the GM mode is kinda' annoying at times.

Up the finisher damage in the custom settings then.

Bret Hart has reversed eight Magnum drivers in this one match alone

Edit: Make that nine

Edit: Make that ten

Edit: Before winning with a sleeper hold despite the referee being knocked out.

This game sucks

[The Future]

Hart is notorious for reversals in this game I think thats 7 Powerslams he's countered so I just put him in a Sleeper Hold and make him pass out I rule

[BlackFlagg]

Man is Benoit kicking my ass, always get great matches with him but he always seems to build up a special at just the right moment and locks me in the crossface for the win, blech

[alldaws1]

NEVER do an RKO when ANYWHERE near the edge of the top of the cell. I just found this out

You go flying, your opponent doesn't.

[alldaws1]

I wasn't dissing the game, I was dissing myself. It's realistic that if you go for an RKO, you'll fall off the cell.
