Riotnrrd Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 I signed Spider Isako and feel like she could be a main eventer for me in a couple of years thanks to her good starting stats and the progression from being Kit's protege. As for convincing foreign workers to join up, check out Black Diamond. I hope she's worth the losses that she'll take. I really wish I could convince DEVIL to come out of retirement to put over MAYA or something. I decided to add a handful of young lions to the roster, and Spider and Black Diamond were definitely two of my picks. All four of the Hatoyama Dojo seem potentially worthwhile at the very least. Grabbed DupliKate as well, she'll agree to work in Japan as well, as do most of the unemployed women in the US, as far as I can tell. I'm booking as DEVIL, and my tentative plans are to unretire and return as the surprise post-JoshiMania first challenger for a newly-crowned Higa.

Matt_Black Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 <p><p>So, I've been experimenting with broadcasting with 5SSW. Shogun TV seems like a good bet, but you're stuck in the Graveyard slot unless you want to pay through the nose, you have to upgrade Broadcast Quality, and sometimes, it doesn't even broadcast in all regions of Japan!</p><p> </p><p></p><p> 5SSW has enough to start a Very Small broadcaster, and while iPPV is great for the events, it seems like less of a good idea for the touring. Of course, thus far, it seems much more consistent in reaching all areas of Japan.</p><p> </p><p></p><p> Haven't fooled around with Subscription, Commercial, or Free To Air yet.</p><p> </p><p></p><p> Possibly some combination is the best way to go.

vince123 Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Decided to play 5SSW for the beta and after 1 and 1/2 month i'm really enjoying it. these are some of the plans and choices i made. I'm currently in Feb Week 3 5SSW World Yuma Maruya vs. Shiori Jippensha Megumi Nakajima vs. Fuyoko Higa Since the first event is the 2nd show of the year i just picked 1 who would fight for the title and paired the other major star with Higa. Now after two events and 2 1v1 matches i decided that Higa will win the title at Joshimania. Higa is 1-1 against Nakajima with 2 great preformances and is now close to both Nakajima and Jippensha in pop. Maruya is 2-0 vs. Jippensha. Jippensha will probably get the J Gran Prix for this early sacrifice. Team SUB vs. TermiNation vs. Torment & Sorrow Decided to feud these teams to give them something to do and see who i wanted to push. Probably will keep this feud going till Dynamo tag where eventually one of these 3 teams will win it. Both Arihyoshi and Tai are currently the one's impressing me the most. The Uprising (Croft,Svelte and Quinzel) vs. Night Life (Katsukawa,Sugiyama and Mushashibo) Created 2 factions around Paige Croft and Miwako Kastukawa. Soon Croft will take the All-Asian title from Katsukawa and Sugiyama and Mushashibo will take the Tag Titles from Svelte and Quinzel. Both teams have great Chemistry I also hired some Young lions and within 3 shows Kit Hatoyama decided to take on three of them as protoge's. So i've put them together in as faction called Kit Krew. They will lose a lot but this keeps them on my mind and maybe in a few years they really can climb up. I also have 1 interesting problem for which i don't know yet what to do with it. Both Nakajima and Jippensha told me within 1 week that they are willing to put over Machiko Matsuda. She's preforming good but i'm on the fence of doing this within the next 2 months. If i do this i'll probably will have Machiko take the Triangle title and put her over them within 1 match on the last possible event before the promises expire. So if anyone has any input on this i like to hear it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Avatar Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 So far 5SSW has been the most fun I've had with the new system and OG promotions. I like that I can get straight to booking matches without having to worry about angles or storylines, and I also like that 5SSW essentially has its own little niche carved out as they start off not really having to worry about rivals. I think this is one Save that I'll keep when the retail version comes out next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Financially safe, no worries of having multiple stars poached, and some talented women on board Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if anyone has any input on this i like to hear it. I'm still testing this (and I'm going HARD on testing once the game releases) but I'm starting to get the idea that this is a 'tell'. I think it's the game hinting at someone with the potential to shoot up the card. I only have 11 examples though so I can't be 100% sure but everyone I've had an offer for putting over, has been a young worker that I expect great things from in the future (Black Diamond, Thea Davis, Felicia Luck, Modesty Pador, Aki Kamio, Katya, and Simony Sentinel). So it might be an idea to put Machiko in a position where getting those wins gets her higher on the card and maybe a shot at the world title.

Blackman Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 That's also what I was thinking. Usually they give you a window, and if you're playing a decent-size promotion like 5SSW, you'll get plenty of time to prep the worker for maximum gain at this opportunity.

She's Fame Hungry but more importantly, she's a people person. She is, no exaggeration, the perfect worker. The closest person I can think of is Lauren Easter when she was first introduced. But get to Small and she'll sign a written exclusive contract so USPW and CWA can kick rocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narcizo Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 The problem with Higa is that, yes, she is the best performer but I suspect that once you put the World Title on her you won’t be able to get it off her without her throwing a strop. I’ve made Birds of Prey tag champs as they can easily headline shows but there’s always the get-out of having Gemmei take a pin to try and keep her popularity in check. I like the idea of Gemmei getting the World title some time before her to lead up to a match in Joshimania 2021. But that could be just chopping off the nose to spite the face when Higa puts on better performances. I mean she just had an 88 rated match with Yuma while most of the rest of the roster is engaged in Team Wars. So maybe it’s best to let her be World champ for years.

I was saying that Black Diamond is the perfect worker. Higa has all of her usual warts that balance out her ability as a worker. I'd never put a title of any significance on Higa. Oh she can have the alliance title but then the AI has to deal with getting it off her. And if 20 is anything like 16, they won't have a problem doing so. (Had an alliance champion Alicia Strong with 90+ in all game areas lose the title to someone in my dev promotion who was 63 in Mid South.....and it was TELEVISED. ). Also, a "problem" I'm seeing crop up is CWA often lets a woman go (usually Sally Anne Christianson, from my limited experience)and then goes out to sign a replacement. If Higa is on their radar and you haven't locked her down.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard people note this but I've never seen NOTBPW or USPW release either of those women. I've always had to "fight" (and it wasn't a real fight) to get them when their contracts came up. I've seen them non-tender Miss American Pie (who I'm not interested in) but they'd hold onto Alicia and Tiffany Jade (and Elizabeth Cartier) and at least make an attempt (always futile) to outbid me.

vince123 Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 Just finished JoshiMania with a showscore of 70 (Heavy penalty for Productions). Main event was Higa def. Maruya for the world title with score of 81 Am currently Small size but growing is almost impossible atm for me because my Industry is at 1! and still falling. Can only grow 1 pop a month at the moment. My current champions are: World: Fuyuko Higa All-Asian: Angel Takudome (Screwed up Road agent notes) Triangle: Machiko Matsuda Tag Team: Sugiyama & Mushashibo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strech Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 So I've just opened a brand new game, autobooked the first show but have paid out both wages and $3,000 in worker bonuses? Wages look fine but all of the worker contracts have by default no bonuses? Am I missing something as playing as saisho and doing the same thing pays no bonuses? Thanks!
