Though I don't think there are any other Japanese promotions announced yet anyways.

 

I would love to do a Japanese or Mexican promotion but I must admit to never really seeing much of either in real life(I saw some sort of exploding deathmatch with Terry Funk in it from the early 1990's). And therefore, I am not really sure how they work so I will leave them to the people who known what they are doing.

 

KATANA PRO-1 sounds like it will be a fun promotion to play even if I do not understand Japanese wrestling!

I'll admit, I've been wondering about this myself. I'm not sure to be honest, it would be nice to see a group opinion. Just as a question, what's the appeal rating on characters that are generated by the game? That might be useful information there.

That doesn't make sense. I think there should be no peak sex appeal for men or women. It just doesn't make sense.

 

Yeah, but is there a gender-specific thing in the angles file? I mean, I'd hate to be looking through another promotion's shows, and see a big tough main eventer taking first prize in a bikini contest.

 

Ya know?

Not sure how the game generates sex appeal etc.

 

That doesn't make sense. I think there should be no peak sex appeal for men or women. It just doesn't make sense.

 

I think the idea was that no male workers are going to generate the sort of reaction based on their looks that Trish/Sable/Maria/Kelly Kelly etc. makes a good deal of sense, hence their sex appeal peak being lower.

 

Conversely a female worker will not be as menacing as Khali/Undertaker/Big Show etc. (Women seem to be capped in menace as well).

 

 

I think there is a certain degree of truth to the above statements in the sense that guys like Cena/Morrison don't draw in as many fans on the strength of their looks as an equally attractive WWE diva would. Most wrestling fans are male so it follows that a Cena can't get the same crowd reaction based on sex appeal as a Maria. i.e. If Cena/Morrison/Whoever were to do constant strip teases like Kelly Kelly or 90s Kat then the predominantly male audience wouldn't receive the angle very well. The demographics for wrestling are just wrong for it.

 

Further, someone like Amazing Kong isn't as scary as Taker due to the fact that a 7 foot tall, 400 + pound woman doesn't exist, and if she does she isn't in wrestling. Beth Phoinex may be tough, but she isn't tanking a sledge hammer from Triple H in a believable way - she just isn't big or menacing enough for the fans to buy it.

 

^^ That said, both of those statements only serve to accentuate the fact that there is an exception to every rule. It's not impossible for a guy to be so attractive/high in sex appeal that he simply brings in more female viewers, and it's also not impossible that a huge, big show/Khali sized female exist. So it's entirely possible for men to have higher than C+ sex appeal and women to have higher than C+ menace.

 

So the way I see it we should have a few people that go over those numbers, but they should be the exception to the rule. :)

Yeah but guys like Morrison and Cena aren't booked to be rated on sex appeal, like the divas in the WWE are. Honestly, if I would ever make a real world mod, I would but Morrison to high B+ sex appeal if not even A. :rolleyes:

 

Sure, Morrison is good looking but the WWEs audience is predominantly male. I'm not arguing Morrison shouldn't be A, I'm just saying that any guy that is rated A would be able to elicit a crowed reaction based on their looks equal to that of the divas like Maria/Kelly etc.

 

Most good looking male workers that get pushed on sex appeal would probably bomb in angles simply because the audience is mostly male. I remember Val Venis tried a sex appeal gimmick/push a few years ago to mixed results. It's not that he wasn't attractive, the audience just wasn't there for it.

 

The way I look at it though the game doesn't specify the gender/age/etc. breakdown of your crowds. So to me if a guy has an A sex appeal it just means that he's bringing in a lot more women to shows on the strength of his looks. Conversely, a woman with an A menace is just simply huge/scary looking in a way we've never seen from a female worker before. ^_^

 

I love pushing workers on sex appeal/menace more than probably anyone here (I'm making a promotion based off the premise :)), so if we decide to treat males and female identically on sex appeal/menace stats I'm not complaining. Just explaining the rationale behind why Adam probably did it the way he did. ^_^

Yeah but it's your (community's) mod, I am not involved, so I don't care too much. And if there is a woman who looks that damn evil, sure she should have A menance ;)

 

Why don't you get involved. The more people the better. ;)

 

This is a community project so I think we should go with what the majority of the community thinks, regardless of contribution size. :)

Crayons bg looks like it's running away with it so I've tentatively put some renders for the mod I did last night on that backrgound.

 

Will do another 40 or so female renders of V4 and then start rendering for Michael, I guess. Might do more depending on how many female workers end up in the data. :)

 

Assigned the renders to the TWA girls, mostly.

First off those renders just look awsome! They look both realistic and cartoonish at the same time, I love them!

 

I vote for whatever on the sex appeal debate. If everyone thinks their should be a cap cool, if not then that is cool as well.

Excellent work Machine, I think i might make a render comeback to help you guys if you need it, things have been getting better at home and I've spent the last 4-5 days installing my runtime again, so if you do just let me know, :)

Thanks broshu

 

I would say the more help the better. Just try to use something like the lighting below so we can keep a similar look.

I'm not going to lie... most of that sounds like gibberish to me :)

 

I've got like 8000 projects on the go right now, so I doubt I'm going to be able to contribute much, if anything. Might try your lighting set at some point though, for kicks.

I'm noticing a painful amount of Modern style companies...

 

I think what this universe needs is it's own spin on USPW.

 

Nay, a place where really big guys with really big muscles and really small talent can be displayed for how truly great they are.

 

But that's just my take. Guess I could contribute, since Kobe asked me and all...

I think lots of people are in love with the GDSverse style uniform renders :)

 

 

oh ok :)

 

EDIT: Here is my first render attempt using the lighting
