The One and Only Smackdown! HCTP Thread

FUCK!!! I was on one of the mini chambers and Shiek climber to the top rope and superplexed me all the way form the top.

One annoying thing: most guys won't stay down long enough for you to hit arial moves. I haven't really hit my elbow pin yet.

If there's still a dodge button (square in SYM), try this:

When your opponent is in one of the ring corners, run towards him and press dodge instead of an attack. Your opponent will fall to the ground in perfect position and your character jumps to the top.

 

Always worked in SYM.

I haven't had a problem with arial moves myself.

Oh. My. God. I've been playing this game since I got home at around 5pm.. and I gotta say. FUCKING AMAZING!! I don't know what that guy was talking about earlier on in this thread - the one who said it sucked - but he's fucking nuts for thinking that w/o playing it first! Amazing! The grappling system is simply awesome! The season mode is wicked! The only gripe I have is that Yukes still can't seem to figure out that JR/King don't host Smackdown AND Raw.. other than that, awesome game! I'm lovin' it!

 

I was playing season mode as Lesnar.. and Vince McMahon hand picked someone to take me out.. Ultimo Dragon!! It was great, Dragon kicked my ass in one of the backstage segments.. I just found it hilarious because the height difference - he had to look WAYYY up to me when he had the mic. Priceless!

Oh man oh man are you guys killing me here. I feel like beating up my grandma and taking $60 out of her purse just to get this game tonight.

 

Anyone else discover any new/improved moves/finishers?

[Downhome 0]

Just about everything seems a lot smoother to me.

[Guest ArchoanJB]

The F5 is one that's improved majorly, they go flying in it.

 

I've been playing since 3:00 (5 hrs ago) and I'm still not tired of it just been playing season mainly, it was really hard at first but now I'm getting the hang of the reversal and new grappling scheme, No Mercy is still better but this is right up there with it.

[Guest TheZsaszHorsemen]

SWEET GOD THIS GAME OWNS!

 

I'm in Month 5 of my first season (with Goldberg) and I love it.

 

- I mark for the video packages that intro each PPV.

 

- I mark for Goldberg's Special Grapple

 

- I mark for the Legends

 

- I mark for The Rock's clothesline where he points to his head afterwards

 

- I mark for Bischoff giving me title shots THAT VERY NIGHT instead of later in the month

 

- I mark for HHH telling me I had to beat Jericho in 3 minutes or less to get a title shot.

[Guest TheZsaszHorsemen]

This game is... yes... it's better then No Mercy.

[Guest Ghettoman]

How the hell is this game not as good as No Mercy when it's better than SYM and SYM was better than No Mercy? I mean unless how you rate games is based 99% on nostaligia I don't see how that can be true at all.

What the fuck. I said it WAS better then No Mercy.

 

 

BTW, glad to see most of the people who were in this thread for weeks all have the game.

[Downhome 0]

To me, this game is WAY better than No Mercy, and any other US released Pro. Wrestling game.

 

This game, HCTP, is the real deal, finally.

[fazzle 0]

Gah, I'm gonna have to pull myself away from the game soon, damn 24.

 

Just formed a faction in season mode, consisting of myself(Jericho), Goldberg, and Victoria. Test wants to join. I think I should be able to make him pass tests first.

Holy god, I fucking love this game. That is all.

[Guest Ghettoman]

Wasn't at you Zsaz, the guy who said it's good but not better than no mercy.

I will own this game in two weeks.

 

I think I know exactly how I want my CAW set up, so that I'm not getting my ass handed to me throughout the matches.

[cbacon 0]

I went to buy a used PS2 today to play the game, but the guy at EB told me that prices will be dropping around the Christmas season, so now I have to endure at least a month without playing. Probably for the best though since i'm drowning in homework now, and by that time all the CAW formula's will be posted.

[Downhome 0]

My faction is Goldberg, RVD, Stacey Keibler, and The Hurricane (he came into the ring and asked to join).

 

I'm loving this.

[fazzle 0]

who's your opposing faction?

[Anakin Flair 0]

I like how in tag matches you can actually pin a guy without the opponents team mates running in. I also like how you controll your whole team, not just your guy.

 

Spoiler (Highlight to Read):

oh, my god. I'm facing the corporation in the EC at SurSer, and as my last act of defiance, after my 6-man tag against the Corp, I drove the MILK TRUCK down to the ring and sprayed them with milk! Then I got on top of the truck and chugged! GOLD!!!

 

I guess what they meant by real storyline =s by WWE creative was old story's re-used.

[Use Your Illusion 0]

How about you all tell me how shitty the game is and how greatly disappointed you are?

 

That way the next week will fly past and your favourite Taker Mark will have it at his disposal!!

 

Fool proof plan, really.

 

UYI

[Anakin Flair 0]

This game absolutely sucks, UYI.

 

 

There. Did that help any?

[fazzle 0]

The Corporation in my game consists of Rock, Austin, Steiner, and Trish. Ouch, gonna be a tough stable to fight against.

[Use Your Illusion 0]

This game absolutely sucks, UYI.

 

 

There. Did that help any?

YES

 

Much love, Naitcha Boy

I'd rather watch RAW then play this game.

 

Feel better, man?

 

 

BTW, to all people who HAVE this game. When do you form a stable? And who else loves VIDEO PACKAGES?

Well, I haven't played, but I'd form a stable right off the bat with 3 CAWs I'd make.

 

Stable: Crimson Storm

 

Members:

 

Leader - Eddy J (a.k.a. Edward James)

 

Tag Team Member - Slacker

 

Tag Team Member - Lightning Flik

 

 

And if someone else would join, I'd add them as the enforcer.

[Guest Memphis]

Memphis much like this game.

[Guest TheZsaszHorsemen]

I decided against forming a stable. Goldberg should be a "lone wolf" and not an appendage.

[Downhome 0]

who's your opposing faction?

HHH, Jericho, Austin, Victoria, and Vince.

HHH, Jericho, Austin, Victoria, and Vince.

That would be fun to see in real life.
