Re: OS at E3: WWE '12 Preview

BTW, CaWs can still add whatever moves to their repertoire, regardless of their weight class/height and all that. And also Mysterio can still do every move to Big Show. However, on that one, it seems like the caveat is there are struggle animations to certain moves or different ways the moves can happen -- so that one seems a little more muddy for now. Everyone in the demo is around the same weight class so I can't see exactly what they are talking about.

Don't like Mysterio being about to do that. But ohhh well.

Is there another grapple system I am unaware of? It certainly seemed to be based on how much damage the wrestler had gone through at certain points in matches. Don't you just front or back grapple etc. and press "A"? I mean the signatures and finishers are tied to certain things obviously, but I didn't always know what front grapple I was going to get because "X" does strikes, and then there is the irish whip from grapple position as the other option. I'm going to play it tomorrow again so I could be wrong, but I didn't feel like I could select every move unless I'm missing out on combining "A" with a directional movement or a modifier like with the limb-targeting system.

When you grapple, you push the stick in a direction and do a move. I never did a grapple without moving the stick, so maybe that does become random. But if body slam was up and A, I could do that move over and over again with each grapple if I wanted to.

OK, I'll check it out today, thanks EG. So it's just the moves are tiered but there are selectable grapples within the tier.

That's what I experienced. Not sure if it's just years of playing so much Smackdown that it never clicked to me when I was doing moves or what. But I was able to just go in and play it and pull off moves at will when I wanted to.

Granted, I had about 20 hours of basic private playtime to your few minutes and you were in a gaming mob, so I can see how it could feel differently.

I don't see a problem with not being able to perform some moves until later in the match. For example, with the text based "Wrestling Spirit 2" game you use wear down moves then after a while some mid level moves are able for use before your high level moves and finishers become available. That sounds logical to me.
