Guest Breetai Report post Posted November 19, 2002 So I'm having a quick 1 on 1 exhibition against him with my Misawa CAW. I've got full attack on power, speed and tech and at least 3 defense on all aspects, with power and tech being 4. We've been brawling for a while, he's JUST got one special, while I've been on two for about a minute of constantly kicking his ass. I hit: -rolling elbow, which causes him to clutch his face (allows you to perform groggy moves). -Michinoku Driver (I'm using it instaed of the Emerald Fusion because it kinda looks the same and I want the TD91 as my finisher) -Pick up and Tiger Driver 91 -Frogsplash. He kicks out at 1. Fuck. I repeat the rolling elbow-Mdriver-Tdriver sequence, but just as soon as the Tdriver91 hits, he no sells and gets up. I'm talking about; I was holding down and tapping grapple as soon as the Tiger Driver animation started in order to immediately pin him and he still got up faster than I did. Think HHH V Warrior for the degree of no selling. I immediately go to grapple him for a Tiger Bomb attempt, but he ducks around me, which causes me to get groggy, kick-wham-pedigree-1-2-3. Like, what the fuck? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Insane Bump Machine Report post Posted November 19, 2002 Yesterday in Smackdown SYM: I was just about to go to bed but wanted to win a match at Insurrextion before turning the PS2 off to get Rey Mysterio's mask. I'm RVD and I kick Regal's ass all around England no problem. Ref bump and Van Daminator knocks Regal down and I go up for the Five Star. I hit it just as the ref revives, but Regal kicks out at two. He gets up, kicks me down, Regal Stretch and I give up. FUCK! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Breetai Report post Posted November 19, 2002 Ya, but in my case it was I hit him with 2 5 point speedy moves (mich driver, my secondary finisher), 2 5 point tech moves (TD91, my finisher), and a 5 point power move (frog splash), he hasn't had ANY offence for 1 1/2-2 minutes, and he hits the pedigree directly after getting hit by my finisher, with no offence by him in the interim.

Guest LaParkaMarka Report post Posted November 19, 2002 Indeed. I would get so frustrated by this no-selling garbage if I had the game. One day they'll bring back No Mercy's control scheme and gameplay. One day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest art_vandelay Report post Posted November 21, 2002 Everybody no-sells in SD2. From Undertaker to Pete Gas, it's not specific to HHH. However, no matter what anyone says, I still love the SD engine. The key is to pace your match and do your finisher only after a certain amount of time. The problem you have is that you're big move on top of big move, which seems to fuck it up. Actually, even an Angry Stomp after a TD91 will cause an opponent to get up. I've had no problems pinning opponents using just one of Funaki's shitty Hurricanrana finishers or even his Diamond Dust (which isn't even a finisher). Another thing I enjoy about Yuke's engine is the precise timing required for reversals. While frustrating for first timers, once you've learned it like me and my friends have, the matches you can have can be very suspenseful and rewarding.
