WWE Smackdown!:SYM Pics Pt.2

[Guest mach7]

Okay, I haven't seen him on any lists yet - so I'm just gonna say this.. how the FUCK does Chavo not make it into this game???

[Guest BifEverchad]

Ok, so can ANYONE post a roster listing?

[Guest mach7]

Bif, the most current roster listing I know of is on page 3 of this thread.

[Guest KingOfOldSchool]

Here's the updated (confirmed?) roster as far as I know. But remember, this is via the Australian THQ site, via the GameFAQS SD4 Board, so don't take this as the final word:

 

Playable Superstars

1. The Rock

2. Stone Cold

3. Triple H

4. The Undertaker

5. Rob Van Dam

6. Kurt Angle

7. Chris Jericho

11. Edge

12. Christian

13. Matt Hardy

14. Jeff Hardy

15. Lita

16. Bubba Ray Dudley

17. D-Von Dudley

18. William Regal

19. Lance Storm

20. Diamond Dallas Page

21. Stephanie McMahon

22. Vince McMahon

23. Randy Orton

24. Faarooq

25. Bradshaw

26. Test

27. Big Show

28. Trish Stratus

29. Tajiri

30. Rikishi

31. Ric Flair

32. Stacy Keibler

33. Hollywood Hulk Hogan

34. Kevin Nash

35. The Big Valbowski

36. Chuck

37. Billy

38. Albert

39. Shawn Stasiak

40. Tazz

41. The Hurricane

42. Molly Holly

43. Torrie Wilson

44. Spike Dudley

45. Brock Lesnar

46. Rhyno

47. Raven

51. Eddie Guerrero

52. Billy Kidman

53. Hardcore Holly

54. Rico

55. Ivory

56. Al Snow

57. Mark Henry

58. Scotty 2 Hotty

59. Shawn Michaels

60. Goldust

 

Non-Playable

61. Michael Cole (BackStage Interviewer)

62. Earl Hebner (In-ring Referee)

63. Jim Ross (Commentator)

64. Jerry Lawler (Commentator)

65. Debra (Backstage manager for Stone Cold)

66. Linda McMahon (Backstage manager for Vince McMahon)

 

Unlockable Characters: No Superstars will be locked this year. Instead superstar costumes, arenas, create-a-superstar items and other various items will be unlockable within Season mode.

 

So such names, within reason, such a debut or re-debut before the SD4 deadline etc etc, which have apparently been left out are:

 

Tommy Dreamer

Stevie Richards

Chavo Guerrero Jr

Crash

D'lo Brown

Shannon Moore

Kanyon

Jamie Knoble

Nidia

Rosey

Jamal

Eric Bischoff

Chris Nowinski

Justin Credible

Funaki

Rey Mysterio Jr

Batista

John Cena

Paul Heyman

Shane McMahon

Saturn

Dawn Marie

Terri

Jacqueline

Godfather

Bill DeMott (Hugh)

 

From what I've read though, there will supposedly be 32 CAW slots, leaving room to create those who were apparently left out, like Kanyon, Noble and Chavo. However, I'm guessing that there will be a few hidden guys, and THQ is simply throwing us off somewhat, since rumors were strong that Rey Jr was in, along with Heyman and Shane. So taking that into account, it could be said that four to six names, probably maximum, could be added to the playable wrestler list.

 

From what I understand also, there will be some customizable things for existing wrestlers, as far as moves go, and possibly attire and "profile" as well, so you may be able to turn guys that no one cares about into others.

 

But again, I'm just repeating things I've read on various preview sites and the GameFAQS Board, so this shouldn't be the final authority on any matter.

[Guest mach7]

Oddly enough, that UK GameRaiders site or whatever, that did the review states that Shawn Stasiak is a character in the game... wasn't he fired recently?

[Guest Banky]

Mysterio, Bischoff, Noble, and Cena are basically a lock for the game.

 

Plus there could be seem additions with some deletions before it gets released. It has been pushed back several times, so who knows anymore?

[Guest bps "The Truth" 21]

I wonder if they put in the Stone Cold walks out storyline.

 

That'd be pretty funny if you were playing with Ausitn and he just took his ball and went home...

 

and you could never use him again.

[Guest Pop Culture God]

On Page three of this thread they have another roster that seems to be much more complete than this one.

[Patty O'Green 0]

The link at the end of this post has some more info about the season mode. I really like the thought of having a draft in this game and being able to do interference during matches.

I would go out, buy me a PS2 and SD IIII just to see that and die of laughter.

[Guest mach7]

 

Notice the video in the background? Austin & Angle, from 2001 when they were "serenading" Vince. Ahh, memories.

lol i just noticed that

[Guest Pop Culture God]

Cena I know for A FACT is in the game. rajahwwf.com says that all the recent OVW guys including Cena Rico Brock and Shelton are in.

[Guest kingkamala]

Shelton Benjamin has made a few tv apperances if not 1, why is he in the game?

[Guest Pop Culture God]

I was just using him as an example I don't think he's in the game

[Guest kingkamala]

ok good

[Guest Just call me Dan]

I would hope that Batista is in the game considering the big plans RAW supposedly has for him. If he were to become an integral part of the show and then NOT be in the game, that would be disheartening.

[Guest mach7]

Dude, when is WWE ever NOT disheartening?

[Guest Trivia247]

Keep in mind these games are usually starting to be made 6+ months before Current time.

 

Warzone had its release it had bret hart, Bulldog and Ahmed Johnson and they were gone by that time

 

Attitude debut and in the game was Steve Williams etc.

 

 

Wish they could go ahead and make Haku a playable character damn it!

 

HAKU MANIA RUNNING WILD!

[Guest Just call me Dan]

Perfect example is Page, if he ends up in the final product. But, for the record, i AM NOT complaining whatsoever.

[Guest Insane Bump Machine]

They have pre-made CAWs in the game. I've seen screenshots of Jamie Knoble and Nidia. It's possible that there also are guys like Rey or Batista hidden in CAW.

[Guest mach7]

Can you point us to said screenshots? I'm not doubting you, I just want to see them as well.

[Guest chirs3]

I read at IGN that the code-system for trading CAW's has been dumped.

[Guest mach7]

Yep, apparently there iwill be no password system. I wish they hadn't have even announced it because I'm a little disappointed. No so disappointed that I'd go off ranting and raving about how this "must have" feature should be in the game. There's always next year!

[Guest Insane Bump Machine]

Here you go:

 

 

some other screens:

 

[Guest mach7]

Ah, wicked man! Knoble looks rad!

[Guest Just call me Dan]

I wonder if Hall is possible. Not a generic looking Hall, a dead on likeness (like the Noble)

[Guest art_vandelay]

The legs and torso look a little fucked up in the CAW. Hopefully they look better when they're actually in play.

[Guest Banky]

I never knew Noble tapped his wrists up to his elbows.

[Guest The Old Me]

I too am very excited for this game to come out. Is it 11/11 or 11/14...I don't have a calendar handy? I think me and my friend are taking off work all day to try and uncover hidden characters and CAW's. Sad isn't it? But it sure will ROCK!
