"Weird" things you do

[Remianen]

Since we're days from the full release, I was talking with some friends and came across some unusual (or "weird") things people do, either on day one of a save or as soon as otherwise possible. I'm wondering if anyone else has any unique things they do when preparing to get into a save. Some of mine are:

 

I go through every worker on my roster and make sure they have a good (or at least decent) finisher. No belly-to-belly or german suplexes but something with some uniqueness or at least visual impressiveness. For example, Black Diamond's default finish is a belly-to-belly suplex. I changed it to a foot stomp facebreaker (Gail Kim's Eat Defeat) since it fits her skillset (not overwhelmingly talented in any area but decent across the board) and has a nice visual. Trying to think of what dastardly heel to give the Poison Rana to now though (especially since it doesn't really fit Katya).

 

This probably isn't 'weird' but due to the virtuosity of the modders and renderers, I create unique personas for most people on my roster. I keep their default render as is but in my company, I'll use a different render for them and create an alter ego.

 

Anyone else have unusual things you do before a game really gets started?

Add a bunch of Deathmatch matches into the database and also add them to default matches straight away.

Same, i always have about ten default matches designed around different levels of hardcore/death match

Same basically, even though I play with Real World mods. I literally can't play if the whole roster doesn't have its real current moveset.

I always used to add a bunch of neutral chemistry to the database. So that feuds I wanted to run wouldn't suffer from negative chemistry. For some mods, this could end up being THOUSANDS of neutral chemistries. Dont' bother anymore and I loathe to think of the time I spent doing that.

I create a bunch of random workers (different skill levels, sizes, etc) using C-Verse pics in real world mods (usually historical) to see how they end up doing in the course of history.

I write out the entire first show in a notebook and make sure that everyone on the roster is doing something on the first show.

 

It's why I have four saves games I haven't started yet lol.

Tfw you can just turn chemistry off heh.

If you're going to that much trouble, why not set positive chemistry between your feuding workers?

I like B shows. If I have a broadcaster I probably have one. I feel like the midcard is something I ignored for a long time in TEW type games and now I try to keep it maintained.

It really does hurt my heart a little to forget that and then have a match where John Cena wins the US Title over the Big Show using a Death Valley Driver instead of an F-U. :D:D

Especially since the FU/AA is not a Death Valley Driver.

I play RW almost exclusively, but I usually HATE the default matches and angles, so as a first port of call I always delete all matches and angles and then load in the default ones.

 

Something I’ve found I do now with TEW2020 is I go through the roster one person at a time and make sure they only have one role. This is particularly prudent for real world mods where they might give JR an announcer, personality and a road agent role, I’ll make him solely an announcer.

I love the CW, but hate the default matches. So I download a real world mod and import all the matches and add in my own.</p>

Then as I go through the roster, I import moves to replace the lame ones in workers' movesets.</p>

<span style="color:#4B0082;">I always make cards of all my wrestlers with stats and information I consider relevant and put them in colored card sleeves depending on push. I use yellow sticky tags to denote champions and other colors to denote factions. Makes it so much easier for me to set up cards quickly.</span>

Create myself as an avatar. Create my own fed. My first month is spent signing workers, tv/ppv contracts, etc. because I'm too lazy to do it in the editor.
