Black Canvas Gaming: My Way To Play

FINisher · December 21, 2012

Hey yo, FIN here.

Here's my humble

MWTP

(as in 'My Way To Play', my invention

) diary which is all about playing the game TEW2013: 0% of normal diary stuff, 100% pure gaming. This is going to be all about the gameplay, about the way I book, the way I plan and play the game. I did two of these tutorial kind of diaries in TEW2010 with WEXXV and GCG which were liked and in many occasions people said that the 'tutorials' helped as this kind of tutorial is a great way to learn new stuff and see things from a different point of view. Also sharing all the info motivates me in trying my best in playing the game since the results are going to be public.

And of course this is something for me to do whilst our 8RoW diary game gets properly underway.

Promotion of my choice is Black Canvas Grappling because it's one of the hardest promotions to start (atleast in my opinion) mainly because: It's a new promotion, it's not popular (Only

E+

in two regions,

E-

elsewhere in Japan) and has a unique roster in my view as there seems to be only young lions and old veterans, not to forget that it's competing against five other promotions of the same size in Japan in all of the regions at the start. I also love the performance biased promotions (I view GCG as NOAH from real life and so BCG is continuing from that point of view as they're now the 'pure puro' company) and I also like them because I can advance in a lot faster pace when I don't need to add huge amount of angles. One of the reasons I play in Japan in most of my TEW games is because of the Loyalty aspect too: I like to create my own superstars and when you don't have to fear that they're going to be taken away from you makes me happy, altough it's a new game and a lot has been changed so we'll see.. We'll be focusing on short and long term plans, worker skill development, perfect show theory and pretty much anything related to this game.

Hope you enjoy, comment and give suggestions as I play along!

I will be using Kazu Yoshizawa as my User Character, talent points I chose are: 7 Negotiating, 5 motivating, 5 creativity, Leadership 4 and Diplomacy 4. BCG has good backstage morale (85%) to start with so I won't be needing the points in Leadership or Diplomacy so I put those two points into Negotiations.

I have no Owner Goals, I will be using the Dirt Sheet extensively troughout the game. We'll be making notes of each match basicly and micromanaging till we get bored. And we will.

So excited!

Looking forward to watching you handle the young lions.

A nuance those wacky American companies never get to pull their hair out over.

Looking forward to reading this. Enjoyed the GCG/WEXXV MWTP diary you did previously.

Tiberious · December 21, 2012

Looking forward to this. I played a BCG for a few months (game time), but consistently getting killed in regional battles was rather annoying as I didn't seem to be making any progress.

I learned alot from the GCG/WEXXV diary, so I'm really looking forward to this.<img alt="

Sounds awesome. Booking strategy fascinates me, and yet is surprisingly rarely touched on here beyond "always use these notes" and "90+ psych minimum". This should be fun <img alt="

An athletic 240lber, Torii gained the nickname "Machine Gun" because of his rapid fire forearm attacks, especially when he's backed an opponent into a corner and can really unleash hell; the forearm is actually the basis of a large percentage of his moves, including a sweet flying forearm from the top rope and his finisher, the spinning forearm smash.

In late 2006 he finally retired, at the age of 54, spending his final six months putting his protege Toshiharu Hyobanshi over. Shortly afterward, after doing some work as a road agent for the promotion, he left the business entirely to enjoy his retirement. His peace lasted until late 2011 when his friend Maeda asked him out of retirement to help him launch Black Canvas Grappling, a response to GCG's joining of the 'Modern Japan' movement."</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Verdict: My User Character with AMAZING Road Agent skills.

<p>BCG is in a weird spot with lots of past or future main eventers, but no one who looks like a real star of the present.</p><p> </p><p>

In my BCG game I ended up signing Shingen Miyazaki away from GCG. He's got the talent to be a main eventer for BCG, and it makes sense for him to jump ship since he has no loyalty and has been stuck in their midcard.</p>

Zergon · December 22, 2012

I´m always interested to hear about booking strategies so I will be looking forward to this one too. <img alt="

Looking forward to this loved your 2008 diaries still go back and read them when playing as GCG, your diary helped get me into Japan in the cornellverse.

So it's pretty much all about the in-ring skills rather than popularity although it plays a small part in the match ratings of course. You'll know it from the 'heat' section in the match reports. No gimmicks or if they are used, simple and not risky. No risky matches or angles, people also want to see solid matches with clean finishes. We will not get a TV show from a Mainstream station in the future that's for sure. Young Lion system is active so we won't be giving our Young Lions (it used to be 25 and younger with less than D- respect but now it's 32 with D- respect (?)) wins over the more experienced guys. If we do it'll seriously hurt the match grade as the crowd won't accept it, nor will the veteran wrestlers.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

In a match that had an average crowd reaction and some decent in-ring action, Yokokawa & Sen defeated Bunrakuken Torii and Masayuki Shiga in 14:22 when Sojuro Sen defeated Bunrakuken Torii by submission with an Over-The-Shoulder Backbreaker. Yokokawa & Sen make defence number 3 of their BCG World Tag Team titles. </div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong><span style="color:#8B0000;">D</span></strong></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Torii does not like being in the opener match or in tag team matches, we have to change his gimmick too, same goes for Yokokawa. Sen also has a bad motivation. </div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>The "- all for holding back" will be in every weekly event match</strong></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> so I won't be typing it each time. I also won't be mentioning the "+ Road Agent" note from now on since we have two amazing agents so the message will display every time. </div></div></div><img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/cool.png.f00d2562b2c1d873a09323753efdb041.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

In a match that had an average crowd reaction and some decent in-ring action, Junnosuke Fukazawa and Razan Okamoto defeated Team Taku in 12:59 when Junnosuke Fukazawa defeated Toshinobu Taku by submission with a Figure Four Leglock.</div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong><span style="color:#8B0000;"> D-</span></strong></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

- Toshinobu for declining Physical ability</div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

- Yoshinaka for lack of psychology</div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

In an extremely poor match, Rokuemon Matsushita and Yoriie Ippitsusai defeated Yoshisada Matsuzawa and Sharaku Okimasa in 13:20 when Rokuemon Matsushita defeated Yoshisada Matsuzawa by pinfall with an One-Handed Choke Slam. </div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="color:#FF0000;"><strong>E+</strong></span></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

This was not a surprise. This was the last match I added with really low ranking guys, I pushed someone to Midcard so that this match wouldn't get a penalty from not having a Midcarder or higher in the match.

In a match that had an average crowd reaction and some decent in-ring action, Naonobu Murkami and Blast Ikoma defeated Miura & Yoshizawa in 15:02 when Naonobu Murkami defeated Noritoshi Miura by pinfall with a Belly To Belly Suplex. </div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="color:#8B0000;"><strong>D-</strong></span></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

I actually had this as 40min match originally but realised that Hall might die in the middle of it. Even 30min is too much for the old man. But we got a C out of this! I expected D+, C- at max but C! What a way to start this game! Funakoshi clearly enjoys in being in Main Event matches. I wonder what this match would have got without the match lenght and stamina penalty.</div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

"Haranobu Kobayashi is a powerful Japanese wrestler, nicknamed "The Hammer". Tall and lean with a great look, perhaps his biggest asset is the fact that he looks like a champion-in-waiting; the fact that he is rapidly developing the in-ring skills to back that up means that he is seen as a very bright prospect for the future. He is noted for having an excellent finisher, the Kobayashi Plunge - a high vertical suplex, thrown out into a devastating Sit-Out Powerbomb pin."</div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

These new guys skill ratings can be deceiving since it just says "In Ring & Perofrmance: Average" so that's four sections squashed into one. Still, he's a superstar in the making for sure. Pretty much same thing can be said of all these four guys, the latter three had "Strong" in their In Ring & Performance but this guy has the look about him that the other three don't have. Also all four are Loyal to BCG </div></div></div><img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

"Serene K" Kadonomaro Kamisaka is a Japanese wrestler, noted for his complete expressionlessness, giving the exact same blank look whether he's on the attack, defence, or giving an interview. He is a very scrappy, tenacious fighter; he tends to batter his opponents with forearm blows in order to soften them up for one of his many neck-busting suplexes. The opponent's neck is generally his target throughout matches, as he works towards his Triangle Choke finisher."</div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

"Mashashi Urogataya is a Japanese wrestler, a product of the Pride Glory Honor Wrestling dojo. The best word to describe him would be "solid"; he is never flashy, but at the same time he hardly wastes a single movement in the ring, he's always working towards some purpose. He is at his best up close, whether chain wrestling or working over a grounded opponent, but he's tough enough to exchange strikes too, if necessary. He is in great physical condition, and has excellent stamina."</div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Just as a note (and I double checked the old help file) it has always been under 32 and under D- respect for young lions. Under 25 (and unemployed) is what some one needs to gain loyalty to the company that hires them.

<p>Lion Genji has a rerender that far better represents his age: </p><p>

The Fukasawa & Okamoto tag team excites me, since Okamato has such an upside.</p>

Bigpapa42 · December 22, 2012

Good first show. Good signings - I targeted those three with Burning Hammer and wondered if you would grab them while you could. Some immense potential in that fouresome. And is Hall really not on the Time Decline list? Wow...

Some diaries can go an entire year and they'll only advance 3 months because the writer does an in depth write up of each show. That's cool, but variety is the spice of life. A diary that can speed run a year brings it's only stuff to the table.</p>
