Rhysrob Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 One thing I often struggle with, and enjoy figuring out, is what Cverse finishers would be in the real world-- i.e. What the hell is Selina Svelte's 'prawn armlock'? I'm thinking its a Rings of Saturn-esque move but google is no help... Or I always assume Alicia Strong's 'Strong Arm Tactic' is a Rainmaker but does that sound insane to someone else? Thought it would be cool to see and hear how others interpret Cverse finishers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monday Night Chores Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 What I love about the c verse is just how different someone can interpret everything in it. Whenever I start a c verse game I’ll go through the whole roster and work out what I think their finishing move is. It really helps flesh the character out for me.

d12345 Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 You should download Wrestling Spirit 3. It has a description of everyone's signatures (except for some of the really newer workers). Here's what it says on the Prawn Lock. "The trademark finisher of Selina Svelte, it is a version of the Kimura, done while wrapping her legs around the opponent's upper body to create an unbreakable lock."

Peria Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Supreme Stunner done by Spencer Spade is a stunner! Honestly though, I think a "New York Minute" is a cutter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just blew my mind— I’ve never actually noticed wrestling spirit before! I guess I’ve always got tunnel vision on the forum so I’m going to check it out...

Although I'm wondering if I take a look a this now will it ruin an awful lot of what goes on in my head cannon as far as moves go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaysin Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 As much as I love the Cornellverse, in my experience it's better to come up with your own finishers. Especially for people like Aaron Andrews. The game takes place in 2020 and he's using a cross body block as a finishers? Wtf. I always change his finish to the Ace Crusher (RKO). Huggins Kiss I always imagine is a running knee like Nakamura or Daniel Bryan Bat Wings I imagine as Christopher Daniels's Angel's Wings.

Self Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 I love researching the moves in Wrestling Spirit. Just recently downloaded the original to find out what a few older moves are for a 1997 game. Some of them are weird curveballs, sure. These days if I find something I dont like I'm more likely to add a new move (perhaps with a story about learning it) than rewrite canon.

scmurph01 Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Or I always assume Alicia Strong's 'Strong Arm Tactic' is a Rainmaker but does that sound insane to someone else? I've always assumed the 'Strong Arm Tactic' was similar to the rolling elbow Chris Hero uses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackman Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 The "Strong Arm Tactic" is what her father used during his career. It's a charging elbow to the face, if I'm not mistaken. But yeah, I would expect her to apply her own touch, like Charlotte Flair, and use the rolling elbow. Aren't the moves described in the game now? I always check WreSpi too for immersion, but if would be nice if it was listed in-game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind people using basic moves as finishers. It's what wrestling is all about. I think of it like The People's Elbow or The Worm from Scotty Too Hotty. I mean honestly Okada's finisher is just a Short-arm lariat. If you didn't see them execute those moves you might think they were boring choices too. The immersion for me comes in imagining what theatrics they use to make that basic cross body look like a believable finisher. Also the funniest thing to me is realizing how many of the named finishers are just Super kicks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miz468 Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 Is it really?! It actually makes sense, and I can visualize it... thanks man. No worries! I looked up a bunch a long time ago and most I stuck with, but I had canoned some. Like Christian Faith’s Leap Of Faith is supposed to be a spectacular turnbuckle splash, but I’ve always pictured it as a top rope splash, or even encore drop.

No, Blackfriar's finish is called the Bat Wings. The canon move is a Cross Rhodes, but I think Angel's Wings is a better fit. *Edit* I could be wrong about the name of Blackfriar's finisher. I know it has wings in the name and WS says it's a cross Rhodes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
