ShootTheMoon Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 I am a little confused by some of the wrestler "types". Sports Entertainer I understand, and Luchadore, Cruiserweight, etc. But what the heck is a "Super Junior", and why do they get so many rating points to start? It seems that "Strong Style", "Super Junior", and "Technician" give you a huge advantage - Initial Total points for a generic Heavyweight wrestler, according to style: Regular - 157 Sports Ent - 147 Strong - 205 Spot Monkey - 120 Luchadore - 159 Cruiser - 141 Super Junior - 184 Technician - 184 Brawler - 151 Psychopath - 125 For Middleweights, Super Junior is much better - well over 200. Why should I ever choose a style other than "Strong", "Super Junior" (whatever the heck that means), or "Technician"? Are there any disadvantages to these styles? I'd kind of like to make a Psychopath, but I'm afraid he'd never win a match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyberkitten01 Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 Super Junior started off as a Japanese thing I believe. They're also called Junior Heavyweights elsewhere, it's basically guys under a certain weight limit that excludes them from being Heavyweight champions, but they're not neccesarily restricted to being high fliers and spot monkeys. The Super J Cup in Japan or CZW's Best of the Best tournament are good examples of Super Juniors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShootTheMoon Posted December 21, 2004 Author Share Posted December 21, 2004 OK, forgive my ignorance, but Super Junor sounds a lot like "cruiserweight", except with much higher skill ratings. Is there any negative to choosing Super Junior that would offset the higher ratings? For a generic middleweight, choosing cruiser gives me 142 points, while choosing Super-J gives me 198.

Midness Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 I have a feeling that Strong Style is the hard hitting Japanese style of wrestling but correct me if I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Arnold Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 According to Ryland's move sets, a Super Junior is someone who uses a mix of high-flying and technical fighting. Strong Style is someone who starts off with low-level strikes and moves up big impact grapple moves. It was founded by Rikidozan. Technician is self-explanitory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShootTheMoon Posted December 21, 2004 Author Share Posted December 21, 2004 OK. But if I get a 50-80 point bonus for choosing one of these styles, why in the world would I choose a different style? It seems remarkably counterproductive to choose to be a "regular wrestler" or a "cruiserweight", unless these "high skill" styles (Strong, Super J, Tecnician) have some disadvantage that I am unaware of.

Rick Arnold Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 They determine what promotions will be more apt to signing you. A Sports Entertainment promotion would rather hire a Sports Entertainer then a Strong-Style worker or a Super Junior worker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleCamelot Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 It's not how much you can start out with, it's what your cap is. Different types have different caps.... I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D. Boons Ghost Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 Rick is right... it all boils down to where you want to work. You can take that middleweight and go for the Strong Style route, but you'll find it more difficult to make it in a Sports Entertainment fed. That's not to say you wouldn't - just that it will be a tad rougher, than say... working in Japan for a Purer style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
