  1. I just had 2 emails after an XCC show

     

    One stating Branco called out Henry Baldwin after his fight.

     

    And the other stating Branco was now retired.

     

    I had something like that, only it was a guy who lost his match suggesting another opponent for him to face.

     

    Something funny that happened in my game, Toby Sorkin gave an interview and stated that he was going to choke out Nilton Fantoni and that "he deserved it", leading to a Strong Dislike between them. You know Toby, right? Toby "The Judoka Who'll Choke Ya" Sorkin? He won the match via Guillotine 6 minutes into the first round.

     

    As for Kobi, there is only one thing to do, write down all his stats and put him into the default data by hand (then upload an export of him so we all can book him!) Do it, you know you must (please? :))

    Thought some of you guys who've never seen her before would be interested in this, a training montage/promo on local uber-heel Wade "By God" Hess.</p>

  3. For those wondering, the 6'9" Giantess who debuted worked the indy scene as Isis The Amazon. She's a former Northwest Wrestling Alliance (NWWA) Heavyweight Champion up here in Oregon (She's from NV from what I understand). Yes, she wrestled guys as well as girls and isn't half bad in the ring. <img alt=":D" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

  5. That was what I wanted to ask people's opinion on, with Kaz coming back as himself does that mean the end of Suicide? What does everybody think on that subject?

     

    He could work as both as himself and Suicide simultaneously, he wouldn't be the first wrestler to do double duty like that (perhaps the first to do so at that level though, I'd have to check on that). If they decide to go that direct though, the question becomes does Kaz he have the range in his repertoire to pull it off without the marks in the crowd catching on.

  6. Thanks for the email. The file did the same thing when I double-clicked the file (went to a temporary file) so I used my email option to save attachments and I got the files okay.

     

    If you have that glitch in the future, try right clicking on the link and "save as". I use IE (cause I'm lazy :p) and get that problem sometimes if I've done alot of downloading that day, doing it that way and clearing the "close after download" checkbox tends to clear it up for me.

  7. First off - let me just thank each and every one of you for your interest in this. I know there are hitches and wheezes hidden within (and a Bear that demands Dr. Pepper), but it's a labor of love; love of nostalgia, and love of this game.

    The interest in the scenario really blows me away, to be honest. All the kind words of kudos are truly appreciated.

    I do mean that.

     

     

    Re: Loaded Masks, Leaping Piledrivers, and Bears - oh, my!

     

    Rick and I were talking about the Loaded Masks the other day; in particular about my assigning the masked rudos to use the move. That's been one of those 'grey areas' that I have been uncomfortable about.

    I profess a complete and utter ignorance on the intricacies of the lucha scene. While I know that a Piledriver would be a horribly rudo thing to do, I wasn't so sure on how they handled their masks. Would they use it as a weapon, as many American masked villains would do? I wasn't, and still am not too sure about that.

    It seems to me that a rudo, like any lucha wrestler, would place too much importance on the mask to use it as a weapon. Still... I took the cheap way out, in that I didn't properly research that; giving the generic sets the Loaded Mask for a sure-fire Finisher on all sizes.

    If anyone has any info on that, I'd greatly appreciate it.

     

    I'm not sure they'd use a loaded mask, personally, while they don't give a fudge about the "honor" and "tradition" connected to them, their mask is still a symbol of their dynasty, and at least helps them to get out of the area without having to worry about getting jumped by angry fans. ;) Also, most Lucha masks are made out of materials like spandex, so hiding an object in them would be fairly hard.

     

    A move every rudo should have is a "rips at mask" type move. In Lucha, it's an auto DQ to unlace and remove another luchador's mask outside a mask/hair vs. mask/hair match, however, most rudos get around that by that by tearing at the eye and/or mouth holes of the mask, streching and ripping the material. I've seen luchadors whose masks were almost completely destroyed, but the rudo didn't get DQed because the mask was still laced and the luchador was still "wearing it", even if it was just basicly a colorful, albeit tattered, hood by then. An "unlace mask" move that stunned would also be a safe bet. As a Luchador whose mask is unlaced suddenly has other things to worry about than the guy in the ring with him, leaving him open to all sorts of mischief.

  8. It's not really the power of the move that concerns me, it's how easily the computer seems to land it. I'll be dominating the match for the most part and then the computer opponent will put together a decent little string of moves, nothing serious. Then he hits a Leaping Piledriver, I use my Spirit Points to help me kick out, then he hits it another 1 or 2 times with no other moves in between. I have a hard enough time hitting a finisher once, nevermind 2 or 3 times in a row without a setup.

     

    Don't get me wrong, I'm absolutely loving this scenario. It's boosted the fun factor of Wrestling Spirit through the roof for me.

     

    I've noticed that the new patch leaves you stunned after taking almost any type of finisher, which would explain the repeating Leaping Piledriver. Perhaps bumping the frequency or damage down a couple of notches would fix the move. It, Loaded Mask, and the Cavernara Clutch are my banes, I seem to lose more matches against those three moves than any other I've come across. As I tend to work in Mexico (and the west coast/centeral states federations), it might just be that I see those moves more than any other finisher type, but they're worth looking into. I've also noticed that my custom finisher (set at a Frequency of 40% and Success of 99%!) misses alot and I've yet to succeed in getting a pin off it when I do hit it. Now I know that it's supposed to be random, but come on, I've never had such a long spell of repeat kick outs (even against guys with no Spirit Points to spend) in my life.

     

    On the other hand, I've found that my rookie (a midweight techy) can normally block the leaping piledriver and simply avoid the loaded mask shot the majority of the time. The Cave Clutch still stymies me in my frequent matches with 4:40 though.

     

    Another move that seems a little "off" on how often it's used is the Eye Rake. I had Rey Mysterio and La Parka work me over good just with several eye rakes in succession, evadently get tired, and tag out to the other guy so he can have some happy funtime with my ocular region. Where the ref was when this was going on is beyond me. Musta been one of those Rudo refs and was getting the phone number of a girl in the front row. Still beat them though, managed to tag out and had my revenge with a repeated leg drop series by Blue Panther.

     

    On an another amusing note, my rookie (only a month in) beat Bulldog Brown with a Loaded Boot Kick in a tryout match for Central States, while he was holding the heavyweight strap for another fed (PNW, I think). I had a good long laugh at that one (he was generous to the guys in charge for me too, I'm still surprised he works for Don)!

     

    For my Ted story, I encountered the Bear in a try out for Southwestern (I think). Vicious, vicious thing. Bad mouthed me after the match to the owner, too. Perhaps I shouldn't have burnt his hair with a Fireball for the pin? ;) I kinda worried, though, as they still hired me and I get the feeling that I'll meet that bear again one day...

     

    I love this update, thanks alot D. Boon and company! I haven't had this much fun with Wrespi since the games initial release. :)

  9. Hey, would it be possible to get the converter to set a workers Personality and Attitude level from their TEW Behaviour, Attitude? I know the TEW Behaviour and Attitude settings in TEW are numerical while Wrespi's Personality and Attitude is a flat level (Nice, Normal, etc.), but it seems that it should be easy enough to set it up where if one is 100-X it's this, and if it's X-Y it's this other one. It'd save us data makers some time. :)

     

    On a slightly related note, did you have some sort of ratio you used when assigning Spirit Points to a worker in the original data that could be mechanically copied, or did you just eyeball it?

     

    Thanks for the work you've done so far on this, some game makers wouldn't have gone through the effort to make something like this for their fans. :)
