Thank you very much. (wee hours of the morning are the most fun, too. imo)

Just so we're on the same page... When you say "Product Setting Puroresu" are you meaning "Pure"? Because I do not have a Product Setting for Puroresu. I am using TEW2016 And the in-game description for Product Setting: Pure is so far from what I have thought of as puroresu that I didn't make that connection. I had always thought "Pure" meant more Olympic games style wrestling (and the mandatory match aim "Technical Masterclass" that comes with higher 'Pure' settings certainly added to that illusion for me.)

So I'm guessing my puroresu types will do pretty well. </p><p> </p><p> Regarding 2, my product does tell me that Hardcore is less effective. But I have never seen a product say "X skill more effective". Is that because I'm doing something wrong? (it does create mandatory match aims which leads me in the direction to pick workers with higher skills in certain areas, like technicians)</p><p> While I don't need a High Spots match aim for the moment I have a lot of workers with decent flying. And I was wondering if the Japanese Junior types melded better with Puroresu workers in matches or if it was okay to utilise Spot monkeys, and Cruiserweights as well (and Luchadors). Mostly just to give my cards some variety. I have no hardcore workers and my product says my fans don't want to see that anyway. So I'm left with technicians and puroresu who I wasn't sure what they meant in the game (I watch mostly puroresu, but that is a really broad rl genre of wrestling). That's when I noticed all the guys crowding up the midcard had decent flying. </p><p> So I was wondering if Cruiserweights advanced in skill in the technical areas faster than Japanese Juniors, and if not do the Juniorweights work better with puroresu. And the Lucha Libre product says it is "fast-paced and technical" so are they better at technical than either of the other two. And I assumed Spot Monkeys only work Aerial and not Technical at all.</p>

Sometimes owner goals will prevent you from hiring workers who utilize a certain style and AI companies often have hiring goals that demand or prevent hirings of a certain style. Finally, depending on your product settings (I think where you're based also affects this) a wrestler's style slightly affects the Autopush algorithm, so for example Autopush in Hardcore-heavy companies slightly favors Brawlers and Psychopaths and holds Entertainers and Technicians back a bit.<p> </p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> That is much to mull on, thank you. <img alt=":)" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p>

<p>DarK_Raider, and Liger!Liger!, Thank you very much. </p><p> </p><p> Which product benefits Puroresu? </p><p> </p><p> Is that the reason there are Cruiserweights, Luchadors, and Japanese Junior class wrestlers (as well as Spot monkey)?

I have no Hardcore in my product, so Psychos and Hardcore types are right out. But I have problems deciding who to scout for with the multitude of Aerial types.</p>

Can someone tell me which is more important in a match with the aim of "high spots"? Aerial or Flashiness? What about the aim 'technical masterclass'? Chain wrestling, Mat wrestling, or Submissions? And the match style 'Brawling'? I assume it is Brawling. And Hardcore skill would be the most important in 'Hardcore' match styles. But which style is 'Puroresu' most important in? And of the 'Technical' styles which skill of the three are more important (Chain, Mat, Submission skills)? Thank you, any help would be appreciated.

Post show matches get lower ratings. Lower ratings can affect your championship prestige. If it happens a lot. Other than that I can't think of any down side.

Sometimes I open a card with an angle. Some of the angles get a rating bonus for "being a good start to the show" but it appears semi random. Does anyone know the criteria for "being a good start to the show"?

Does any stat besides Sex Appeal effect Eye Candy matches? If not, what stops me from using two valets in one?
