Smackdown vs. Raw demo impressions

Re: Smackdown vs. Raw demo impressions

Question about enviromental grapples. Are they automatic sometimes or do you have to press A?

I exposed the turnbuckle and everytime I tried to bring Kane near it to bash his head on it, HHH just tossed him on the ropes.

You just strong grapple the guy and walk over to it/drag him to it. So it is strong grapple then left stick toward it. Then it will initiate on its own. Just gotta hope he doesn't counter. I just did two controllers last night and broke down and tried everything. The only thing I don't know how to do now is drag the opponent when he is on the floor. I left Kane a bloody mess. Bashed his head into the exposed turnbuckle then threw him outside and did it on the stairs twice. The stamina thing can get kinda annoying but its a necessity.

This game is soo bada$$. I do have some online concerns though. #1 people created 100 overall wrestlers that defy everything you do. #2 People going to the top of the scaffold and just staying there so they can't get their a$$ whipped.

Last year they had hacks that had CAWs rated 109, I think. There were also a few moves that couldn't be reversed. There's a lot of concerns online. If I was going to play some people, I had to pull out the cheese/glitches.

To me, it's basically a fighting game, which is a genre I don't believe there's any cheese. But the wrestling fan in me can't use it in this game. Unless I'm getting speared and knee-dropped to holy hell, then I pull it out. That sim stuff...my blessing and my curse.

Is there a way to get up faster when you are on the ground? Usually I am stuck on my *** forever it seems.

Me too

Re: Smackdown vs. Raw demo impressions

I was bored and thought it would be cool to post videos of the demo, So here are 2 videos. The first one is HHH getting put through the announcing table. Than the 2nd one is HHH getting choke slammed through tables and all that good stuff.

Re: Smackdown vs. Raw demo impressions

does anyone know if the loading will improve in anyway in the final version? I would of thought they would use the 360's power to improve load times. Besides that I can't wait for the release of this game.

Eh, while it could use some improvement, atleast it loads a lot faster than the previous PS2 versions which is a plus.

Anyways, I finally downloaded this last night, and I don't think I can stay sane waiting for this game to come out. It's just so much fun, and VERY interactive.

Favorite moments so far include:

Chokeslamming (control move) HHH into the ringpost, over the top rope to the outside, through the announce table, and through the wooden table in the crowd.

Shane O' Mac elbow drop through the announce table.

Grating faces with the barb wire bat.

Pulling HHH's berries into the ringpost.

Any form of bleeding (looks AWESOME on 360).

Flying knee drop off of the scaffold through a table.

All of the other "hotspots" (steel steps, speaker system in the crowd, TV set in the crowd, ring ropes, etc.

And also, the entrances. HOLY CRAP, talk about realistic. When HHH first walks out of the entrance way I could swear I was watching RAW.

I can't wait for this game!

Re: Smackdown vs. Raw demo impressions

How do you pull HHH berries into the ringpost, does it have to be exactly right..like were his feet are facing the ringpost, and your outside of the ring?

Re: Smackdown vs. Raw demo impressions

Turning off entrances reduces loading and don't worry about C.A.W's having 100 or more because there's no CB/AR/GS for the 360 that can do that and there won't be.

When someone is lying on their back, pull them by the feet to the turnbuckle inside the ring and it will automatically initiate.

Click down on the right analog to grab a hold of them to drag on the ground, then pull them with the left analog.

Re: Smackdown vs. Raw demo impressions

I just absolutely anniliated HHH, Did a choke slam to him through 2 tables. Then i made him lay on a table, got up on that high *** thing in the right corner and nailed him.

I am sold..well if i learn more about multiplayer, i love this demo

Wait, what? How do you get 2 tables?

[Kevin26385]
