ThunderVerse 2014 Platinum Release Thread

[Bigpapa42]

Name: Hiryū

Short Name: Hiryū

 

Biography:, This super junior is just 20 years old but has already turned heads on the indy scene in Japan. Having trained in Japan and rumored to be the protégé of Furosuto, it’s not difficult to see the potential that the Super Junior has. He is rather small (even by SJ standards) but he is exceptionally quick, athletic, and uniquely graceful enacting aerial maneuvers. This skillset is tied to a great look. “Hiryū” means Flying Dragon, and the wrestler has a mask and costume that homage to the mythical dragons of Japanese lore. The costume detail is impressive, including the use of flair to add to the visual effect when flying and his Doragon Dive finisher is aesthetically amazing. Despite the potential and the purely visual appeal, he is undeniably raw in the ring, with some thoughts that he debuted too early after his training. He can be sloppy with his offense, flying aside, and his Psychology is notably lacking. These are weaknesses he needs to overcome to realize his potential.

 

Entering a contest run by the AWF left observers scratching their heads, as the company has no cruiserweight division. Looking for employment in Japan, or even in the US with Dragon, would seem more reasonable. Especially if the Furosuto link is accurate. One line of speculation amongst smark fans is that Hiryu’s future lies with Dragon Pro Wrestling, but he was asked to enter the AWF-run competition to raise the profile of Super Junior style wrestling amongst the AWF fan base.

Please give a brief description of your characters appearance:

A smaller wrestler in full body suit and mask. The mask is along the lines of Jushin Liger & Hayabusa, with the details of a fearsome dragon. He wears a matching bodysuit. The predominant color is crimson, with royal green and gold trim.

Can't wait to see the renders.

 

Is the Thunderverse conversion for TEW 2016 still going to be set in August 2014 or are you moving it forward in time out of interest? Or is that a secret?

The promo rounds begin tomorrow. The way these work is that I will post a question in the new BaS thread that will be created (This post will also be in that thread).

 

ALL ANSWERS HAVE TO BE SENT VIA PM. FAILURE TO DO SO WILL RESULT IN A VERY ANGRY MHERO AND POSSIBLE DISQUALIFICATION.

[SWF Fan]

<p>I have to say, while it's a little different to my look suggestion, its actually a much, much more awesome look! Credit to the render workers on all those, I'd push all of them in an instant.</p><p> </p><p>

It also made me realise HavoK works better without the facepaint, even if he is a bit Clockwork Orange infused now haha.</p>

[OldStingberg]

I <em>love </em>the Larry Lightning render. So much better than what I was able to cobble together.

[Markw]

Fabulous renders as always, Tommy looks perfect - very close to what I'd imagined. Can definitely see myself using Hartnett, Lobo, HavoK and Clay pretty regularly in my SUX games.

[Pteroid]

I look forward to signing my guy to POW after I lose <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

[SWF Fan]

I can see HavoK being perfect for The CLUB if he doesn't make it in the AWF. After all, I did manage to create a wrestler so perfect for anything but wrestling, he won a wrestler's contract and is now the lead colour guy with the biggest company in North America <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

[Jama7301]

Super Croak is fantastic and I love everything about him.

[kanegan]

Mohan Raja, just the way i wanted. great job T-verse renderers. Look forward to signing him up whenever he is available and create the legacy of an Indian king.............

[Tigerkinney]

Can't wait to see what the first promo round is going to be and how I can apply Jeremy Vile's pompous character to whatever awaits in store. I've already got a few promo idea's in mind, but it all depends on how those ideas can be moulded to the criteria of the round.

What is the story behind the Mexican titles available for purchase in the investment section? They don't look to be tied to an inactive promotion.

They were the National titles back before there were really promotions outside of CLLM so they were tied to a governing body. Then in the mid 70s CLLM purchased the belts (and governing body) to add to their own prestige, before slowly vacating them again

With the winner of BAS getting a 3 year contract in AWF, in a port of the game once TEW 16 is released, is it going to be a different starting date to the current platinum release (August 2014) or just be 2014? Just asking as I'm trying to formulate ideas for 2016 and I don't want to go so far in depth to find out that half the guys are no longer there.

 

Like would it just be a case of adding the person in as a brand new signing in 2014 and the rest of the world as people who have been on Tough Eno...sorry Be A Star with pop enough to get them employment off their work or updating the entire world to fall in line to 2016?

Same starting date as the 2013 edition. It's literally going to be a straight conversion over with the BAS added in. We figured that with Vice still having a lot of work to do that if we convert & add, it's at least giving all of you a Thunderverse to play with in 2016 without a lengthy wait.

Awesome, is there going to be any small alterations (the new game has added in a commentary stat and wrestlings coming in from Hollywood backgrounds etc) or is that something I can use as Dissertation relaxation haha?

Ask again later is the official answer.

When will the TVerse be ready for 2016?

[Big Roguey]

When will the TVerse be ready for 2016?

 

Dude. The demo has been out for like maybe an hour or so? Most of the team haven't even played it. Give us time.

 

To answer the question, most likely in the next couple of weeks.

[Mike7273]

Just a question. Didn't mean it to be immediately.
