Sex Appeal, Star Quality, Menace

[castorius]

Does anybody know if the "Sex Appeal", "Star Quality" and "Menace" stats factor into the rating of a match? Or are these stats only used strictly for angles?

Depends the company and match type I believe. For example, a fed that relies heavily on TnA might have a match benefit from Sex Appeal if the match is based on it (jello wrestling, for example). Workers with high Star Quality (and maybe Menace) benefit from it in matches in companies that are focused on Sports Entertainment. For example, Hulk Hogan will never be considered the most talented in-ring performer, but has that special X factor about him that still made his matches memorable. So yes, they can effect matches.

Hmm. I think it's the opposite. Star quality affects the worker and how he is being rated outside the ring (usually develops and gains popularity better if high star quality; Makes things easier for him/her). Those three skills are used in angles obviously. Sex Appeal and Menace have both their own angle criteria in which the angle is based, and I'd guess that star quality could affect entertainment angles :)

Sex Appeal is one of the primary criteria for the rating of 'Eye Candy based' matches. Wanna test it out? Put two workers with low (I mean D and below) Sex Appeal in a bra & panties match and see how it rates. So yes, Sex Appeal does have a role in the rating of SOME matches.

How about Menace and Superstar Quality?

Oh yeah, forgot about the "Bra and panties" match etc.. Never ever played BSC :P But yeah, I was right! ^^ That isn't even a real match :D That doesn't count!

While file is the Bra & Panties thing in, the match file or the angle file? Likewise, does in-ring skill factor into the rating of that match? (it most certainly does. Put Alicia Strong vs J.Ro in a Bra & Panties match and see what rating you get) In TEW terms, it [B][I]is[/I][/B] a real match, whether you agree with it or not.

[QUOTE=FINisher;443101]You clearly missed my sarcasm on that. ;)[/QUOTE] Yeah, sorry. :( As you might expect, I agree wholeheartedly with you (the WWE-style women's matches annoy me because IMO they aren't real wrestling matches), but in the game, those matches are held on the same level as cage, cell, ultimate submission, and I Quit matches.

Only one reason I want to see a bra and panties match... If they don't look good in them, then I'm not interested, even if they are awesome in the ring (Put them in a "Real" match if they are good, is my position). In other words, I aggree, lol. Far as these stats (any of them) are concerned, I believe that they are used for gimmick types moreso then anything... Like the "Intimidating Bodyguard" that might kick the hell out of you if you fall out of the ring, the "Interfering Diva" that might stand in a type of pose, just to have the opponant "Gawk" at her for just a second too long, etc. So in my opinion, they are much more important factor's for gimmicks, then the actual match's... Although putting a Menacing person as a monster, and giving them a push is going to go over probably quite a bit more then someone without a high menace stat. Star Quality I don't think makes a huge difference in the match's themselves, as much as the overall advancement of the worker, and what they can get away with (How great they can be perceived as). [B]NON-PROVEN:[/B] What I do with Superstar Stat, is use it in kind of conjunction with their Potential. If I want a worker that in their prime will be Main event, but stick around mainly in between the Mid and Main event cards (somewhat of a Ric Flair type), I might stick them with a very high potential, but a more midhigh star quality. In my mind this will allow the character to be believable from midcard to main event, without much work (after they have been put over (popular) enough to do these things). I have a couple other things I'm testing out as well, but without a good solid bit of testing on it, it's all just heresay at the moment. This is how I'm doing it "NOW", at this time though.

From what I read and from what Ive noticed, Star quality and charisma effect how popular you become. A guy like Acid and Shawn Gonzalez basically need to beat someone who is more over than they are to gain pop. A guy like Champagne lover can lose and still make a jump in popularity.

Champagne Lover, on the other hand, has been flying up the popularity scale for stupid stuff like hosting bikini contests... :rolleyes: :D
