3: Chop battles. Those classic exchages that happen in every match now are in SVR. Initiated during a grapple and ending on the third chop. Each turn uses a power and accuract meter not unlike gold games.Max the power and you get another shot. Max the power on the last shot and the person will fly to the mat.
4:Heel and Face Specials. Before starting a match players choose between face and heel. Each has a corasponding meter in the hud. When it feels a up a tilt of the right analog stick will allow faces to become invincable for a short amount of time <like hulking up> and heels can pull a dirty move that the ref will not see. Like eye rake or brass knuckles or low blows.
5: Submissions. In SVR a time based meter will appear giving the opponent a chance to either reverse or escape the submission. To balance this players can apply more pressure to the move and make th counter meter shake. Partners can now break up submission moves like pins. <its about time>
