System =============================================================================== 2.1 Terms --------- Grapples - Grapples are performed by pressing F, F, HP. You can also grab an opponent off the floor by standing near their head and pressing HP. It is here you are able to perform super combos, grapple attacks, and strings. You can be reversed out of a grapple if the opponent beats you to the grappling attack. Run - LK+LP allows you to run. You have access to some new attacks while running such as dropkicks or clotheslines, depending on your character. To stop running press B. To switch and run the other direction press B+LK+LP. Push - Performed by holding BLK and pressing LP, it gives your character space from the opponent. Pushing CAN do damage...but it's a very small amount. Oddly enough, you cannot win the round from a push as no matter how many times you try to execute it when the opponent is on the edge of losing, it will no longer produce any damage. Irish Whip - Performed by pressing B, B, HP. It sends your opponent bouncing off the ropes and they are unable to recover for a short period of time. If you are irish whipped, rapidly push the buttons to fill the recovery meter. Once filled you will be able to freely move again. If you irish whip the opponent outside the ring into the barrier or the ring itself, they will run into it and take damage. Two quick consecutive irish whips into the barrier or ring grounds the opponent. Hiptoss - A throw activated outside a grapple. Universally performed with B, B, LP. Can also be performed simply by the command B+LP/HP when the opponent is running at you. Turnbuckle - To climb the turnbuckle Press Up and Toward the turnbuckle to climb it. Only the top two turnbuckles can be used. After you are on the turnbuckle you can press an attack button to leap off (The attack is unblockable). Guide your character with the joystick. You can be kicked off the turnbuckle, and may sometimes be knocked to the outside of the ring. To get off the turnbuckle without attacking simply press D. Super Combos - As you perform attacks and land hits, a meter fills under your life bar. Once this meter is filled you have access to a super combo. To perform a super combo you must first grapple your opponent. Then you must enter the initiating command. All initiators begin with F, F and then an attack button (Each specific character’s commands are shown in the character section). You then proceed to each corresponding button listed to enter in a combo. Once the combo is ended, your combo meter empties and you must build it again in order to perform another super combo. The best way to get combos to work is to tap the button multiple times until the combo sequence is complete, then go onto the next button in the combo branch. Only when labeled with a * symbol do you press the button once, and quickly proceed to the next command. Strings - Each character (With the exception of Yokozuna) has at least one string attack. This involves holding one direction and entering in an attack button a set number of times from a grapple. For example, you can perform a string using Shawn by first grappling and then holding Forward and pressing LK rapidly. You can choose to continue to hold Forward as you tap LK, or you can simply let go of Forward after the initiator has started and just press LK. It works like this for all other strings. Pausing in between taps will cause the string to end early, so you must keep a decent tap rhythm. Strings do not require a combo meter. Strings can also be reversed. It is not until you finish a string with a finishing attack that you are safe from reversals. Strings can be ended a variety of ways. One way is by buffering certain grapple moves of the character you are using from the string. Each move that is able to be buffered from a string attack is marked with a ! symbol. With the exception of Shawn's F+LK string and Bret's F+LP string, all marked grapple moves can be buffered within the time of window of directly after the start of the string initiator to immediately after the mini combo ends. Super combos can also be buffered from a sting. Most of the time, however, Super Combos buffered from strings will end early or will not start correctly because of the opponent's placement at the time of execution. Furthermore, there are finishing attacks unique to a character’s string alone. Some of these are activated when the string initiator is performed a certain amount of times. Others are activated at any time within the string. Finally, there is the ability for your character to perform both normal moves and special moves using a string. Normal moves (things such as running and doing normal punches or kicks) can be done at any time during the string including directly after. They will, however, end the string's run if performed during the actual string mini combo. Special moves (which include uppercuts) cannot be done until after the string is finished. These can still be part of the string, as they can be done before the opponent lands on the ground. Hence there is nothing an opponent can do to prevent these from hitting after the string. High Risk Attacks - These are attacks that perform 2x damage. They are labeled with a (H) in the characters section. Bouncing off the ropes and performing a running attack will also cause it to become a high risk attack. Power Up - Hold BLK and rotate the joystick clockwise 720 . Your character will brag and for a short time will inflict 4x more damage. Can only be performed once per match. Speed Up - Rotate the joystick counter-clockwise 720 . Your character will blink and for seven seconds you will be faster. You can do this as many times as you want during the match. Recovery - Sometimes after a hit you will stay down and a recovery meter will appear. Tap the buttons rapidly to fill the meter and get back up. This recovery meter also appears when you are irished whipped. Second Wind - This allows your character to get up from a pin set within a deciding round. That is, a round where one pin fall was already lost, and the next pinfall would decide the match. To perform a second wind you must first have a full combo meter. You must mash the keys rapidly, and if successful, your character will break the pin. You do not, however, gain all your life meter back. In fact, one attack and you'll end up on the ground ready to be pinned again. 2.2 Universal Moves ------------------- Grapple (C, N): F, F, HP (See -note- on bottom) Head Grab (C, N): HP near floored opponent’s head (See -note2- on bottom) Run (N): LP+LK Push: Hold BLK, LP Irish Whip (C, N): B, B, HP Roll (N): Hold U or D when on the ground Exit Ring Horizontally (N):Hold left on west ropes or hold right on east ropes (Opponent must be outside of the ring) Exit Ring Vertically (N): Hold U on north ropes or hold D on south ropes (Opponent must be outside of the ring) Climb Turnbuckle (N): UB/UF (D to climb down) Hiptoss (C, [): B, B, LP Hiptoss Counter (C, [): B+LP/HP when opponent is running Homing Grapple (C, N): F, F, HP when opponent is on turnbuckle (On all opponents except Yokozuna; See -note- on bottom) Power Up (N): BLK+720 clockwise Speed Up (N): 720 counter-clockwise -Note- Combo meter will always fill for Yokozuna, Undertaker, Shawn, Bret, and Lex.

Concepts =============================================================================== 3.1 Skill Bonus --------------- Within the game, certain actions earn you a skill bonus after winning a match. As you build more and more skill bonuses, you are upgraded to a new level. Each level is awarded every 10 increments. The \/ symbol represents increments of one while the \V/ symbol represents increments of five. The following is a list of the skill bonuses awarded and the increments of such: Requirement Symbol ``````````` `````` __ __ No Blocking 1 Round \/ \/ ___ No Blocking 2 Rounds \V/ __ Fast Victory 1 Round \/ __ __ Fast Victory 2 Rounds \/ \/ __ __ Perfect \/ \/ ___ Double Perfect \V/ __ 2-Round Sweep \/ __ __ __ 5 Win Bonus \/ \/ \/ This is a list of each level with a description of their symbol: Level 10 - Circle Level 20 - Pause sign Level 30 - Triangle Level 40 - Diamond Level 50 - Pentagon Level 60 - Hexagon Level 70 - Bar with triangle under it Level 80 - Octagon Level 90 - Three triangles Level 100 - Star 3.2 Colors ---------- Color selection in this game is very strange. As you have the ability to choose certain colors for your character...there are other colors that only 2Player can use when creating a mirror match, certain assigned colors when entering buddy mode, and even other colors that are not selectable at all. To select different colors for your character you must hold the joystick toward the direction your character icon appears (Left or right), and press LP/LK/HP/HK. 2Player may do the same, however, if choosing the same character as 1Player they cannot choose their color and are instead assigned a resulting color no matter what is done when selecting their character. Usually if 1Player selects their Right/Left+HK color, the 2Player gains access to a color that 1Player cannot access. Buddy mode also assigns specific colors to 1Player and 2Player. Say for example both players pick Razor and enter buddy mode... 1Player will be blue and 2Player will be red. Now if 1Player picks Bam Bam and 2Player chooses Razor and they enter buddy mode the 2Player's color will still be a red Razor. To top things off, the Computer can have a color that neither 1Player or 2Player can choose. You can see this if both players choose the same character in Cooperative Mode or if you face more than one mirror match in Championship Mode. Lex and Undertaker seem to be the only ones able to obtain these hidden colors. It may be that the Computer has even more hidden/unavailable colors, assuming you could face 3 mirrored opponents in Championship mode, however due to the randomness of opponent selection, this has not yet been confirmed. =============================================================================== 4.

As soon as he is hit, the shadows disappear. -Bug- Buffering in either the Razor's Edge (F, F, HP) or the Piledriver (D, D, HK) directly after the third Razor Swipe (U+LP) in his mini combo will result in Razor missing those moves and falling onto the mat with a missed grab animation. Performing the Rug Snap (D, D, LK) under the same conditions will have him touch his toes and miss the grab as well. Ending ------ Razor took the World Wrestling Federation gold back to Cuba with him. He showed the good people there what America has to offer to anyone who is willing to work hard to make their American dream come true. Razor became an inspiration to all as he toured the world as a motivational speaker, talking about his American dream-come-true, and showing them "the gold". One night after a seminar, while walking back to his car, Razor got jumped by four thugs who beat him to an inch of his life and ran off with "the gold"... all of it, including the stuff around his neck and his now broken fingers. After that incident, Razor’s spirit was shattered and he fell into a state of deep depression. He wallowed in musty sea-side taverns and slept on benches in train stations, until one day he just disappeared. He wasn’t seen for three years. Recent reports indicate that "the bad guy" is alive and well and running a small pawn shop in Chile. ******************************************************************************* * 4.2 Doink * ******************************************************************************* Profile Colors ------- ------ Height: 6'0" 1Player Choice Resulting 2Player Color Weight: 243 `````````````` `````````````````````` Origin: The Circus Any: Blue Purple Quote: "Life’s a Joke!"

The color of the opposing Doink yields the color of the x-ray shock sprite. For example, shocking a yellow Doink has a yellow x-ray sprite, while shocking a red Doink has a red x-ray sprite. -Note- Doink's Happy Hammer cancels must be activated immediately. In other words, the initial hammer must not connect. -Note- Doink's 2player default color has blue hair while all the rest of Doink's colors have green hair. -Note- When using the Speed Up technique, Doink will produce a sound clip of horn honks instead of the usual "What's this?" sound clip of Vince. -Bug- Certain moves performed on Doink (ala Undertaker’s Tombstone Piledriver) as a final blow leave Doink on his stomach looking towards the screen instead of knocked out. -Bug- Doing the Boxing Glove, Big Hand Clap, or Happy Hammer while running away from opponent causes Doink to slide backwards. -Bug- Sometimes performing the Alternate Slam/Drop causes Doink to miss and leave the opponent in a phantom grapple. -Bug- Performing Doink's Head Drop string finish too early after the mini combo will make Doink miss the maneuver. -Bug- Buffering in Doink's Head Drop right after the forth hit of his F+LP string will make him miss the manuever. -Bug- If facing a number of Doink CPUs, they will all use the same color. -Bug- Having Doink as your buddy in buddy mode will sometimes crash the game. This seems to most often occur if A) One of the players is already using Doink B) Both computer buddies end up being Doink C) 1Player and 2Player pick the same character. Buddy Doink will be seen with messed up colors and the game will crash. -Bug- Performing the Homing Happy Hammer will whiff the opponent as long as they stay on the turnbuckle. -Bug- Performing a running grapple to an opponent on the turnbuckle causes a huge glitch where both you and the opponent will float up into the air. You can exit leaving the opponent to be stuck in the air, and perform a slew of follow up glitches such as hopping, being "pulled", floating around, and so on. -Bug- If Doink is performing a Joy Buzzer as the time runs out and the opponent is in the frame of "flashing", then the opponent will be a white silhouette the next round. They will turn back to normal as soon as they are hit. -Bug- Same as the above bug, however sometimes yields different results such as completely messed up colors. Ending ------ The Crowd went wild in celebration of Doink’s Victory! For an encore, Doink dished out a few final blows with his hammer to each of his unconscious opponents. While the circus blared, Dink and some clown friends bumbled into the arena on elephants and drew laughter from the audience. Everyone was dancing and having a great time as the fireworks went off all around them... until one of the skyrockets exploded too close to the elephants and caused them to panic. They trampled down the entire ring and a sizable percentage of the audience as well. It took a few hours and several hundred tranquilizer darts to get the situation under control, but the survivors of the audience claimed to have had the time of their lives that night.

He’ll usually raises his hand for the victory without even going for the pin. -Note- Undertaker will have the urn in his hand after winning the last match for the Intercontinental/World title. -Bug- Although the Chokeslam can be buffered from a string, it will not connect. -Bug- Performing The Undertaker's Tombstone Piledriver string finish too early after the mini combo will make The Undertaker either miss the maneuver or perform it when the opponent "falls" into his grasp. -Bug- Buffering a Neckbreaker after the fourth headbutt in any of the Undertaker's strings will make him miss the move. -Bug- Doing a Snap Mare on an opponent that's on the turnbuckle seems to "float" then pull them. -Bug- A Tombstone Hit out of a Sliding Choke Lift will not setup up properly with certain characters, thus the inability to add more hits. -Bug- Super combos can only be done from the Sliding Choke Lift by buffering them from a string. However, the opponents will tend not to setup right, thus the super combo will either not connect fully or not even start at all. If the super combo glitches and won't work, you still lose your combo meter and have no other indication that a super combo was even started (There is no hit message). -Bug- Undertaker is seen using his 2Player default color during his entrance for the next CPU versus match.
-Bug- Sometimes performing the Alternate Breaker/Driver causes Undertaker to
miss and leave the opponent in a phantom grapple.
-Bug- His fatality is known to freeze the game.
-Bug- This fatality glitch occurs in buddy mode. Say your buddy pins the
opponent and you perform the fatality...if that pinned opponent is
chosen to be sent to the coffin they will rise up from the pin and your
buddy will still be in his pin frame. After the fatality, your buddy
will then pop back up from his pin frame, and the opponent who went under
during the fatality will also reappear from the grave.
-Bug- Perform Undertaker's Fatality just after finishing the opponent with a
Super Uppercut. The camera will be stuck in air until the gravestone
comes up for the fatality. If done very early after the Super
Uppercut...blue fire will be next to the gravestone.
-Bug- It is possible to connect a Stun Ghost from outside the ring while the
opponent is still in the ring.
-Bug- The CPU does NOT use a color that's unavailable to the player. If
facing multiple Undertakers in Championship Mode, or having both
players choose Undertaker for Cooperative Mode, the CPU will use the
color blue. This even occurs if 1Player or 2Player are already using
blue as their costume color.
-Bug- If a Super Uppercut is being perform at time over, a blue cloud will
follow the opponent the next round. The cloud will disappear eventually
as moves are performed or if they are hit. I've also had this happen in
a buddy match where I finished them with a Super Uppercut and they got
second wind right away.
-Bug- If performing a Shadow Neckbreaker, the Sliding Choke Lift, or a
Chokeslam when the time runs out, the Undertaker will have shadows
following him the next round. The shadows will disappear if these moves
are performed again or if you are hit. This bug will also occur if
reverse with a Chokeslam.
-Bug- If performing a Super Chokeslam when time runs out, you will be trailed
by an orange shadow the next round. It will disappear if the move is
performed again or you are hit.
Ending
------
After the dust settled and the smoke cleared, the Undertaker stood alone in
the spotlight, silent. He approached his last victim slowly, knelt down on one
knee and stared deeply into his eyes. It was a stare so intense, it seemed to
go past the man’s eyes, past the flesh itself... straight to the soul. Taker
lowered his head and covered the man’s heart with his hand. The lights
mysteriously went black, and all that could be seen through the darkness was a
mist-like shape rising up from the beaten man and dissipating into the
Undertaker. Without any hesitation or remorse, he did this systematically to
each of his foes that evening, as if in some hypnotic trance. It’s a shame,
too, because he actually liked some of those guys. It’s not surprising though,
as no one ever could understand the ways of the Undertaker, except maybe Paul
Bearer. After all was done, the Undertaker disappeared into the blackness and
headed off to Death Valley, where he may rest in peace.

can also get a Block Escape C) The Dash Jab is
where Yoko goes for a series of jabs; If the move
whiffs he can continue to jab for a long time
until the opponent recovers from his phantom
grapple; This builds meter fast D) The Block
Escape is where Yokozuna performs a block, and
completely escapes the opponent, leaving them in
a phantom grapple E) You can also tap HK to
perform a reversal, but you cannot use it as a
regular grapple alternate F) There are sometimes
glitches from this, such as a totally whiffed Butt
Scissors or an "exit" leaving the opponent in a
phantom grapple G) Either insanely fast hands or
a turbo method is needed to do this)

Notes and Bugs
--------------
-Note- Climbing the turnbuckle builds Yokozuna’s combo meter.
-Note- Yokozuna has no strings.
-Note- Yokozuna's Irish Whip charges his combo meter if whiffed.
-Note- Yokozuna's regular LP knocks the opponent down.
-Note- To get the Salt Throw Cancels to work you need to perform them
relatively quick after initial move.
-Note- If the opponent runs and collides with you while you are holding
the turnbuckle you will fall off.
-Note- Moves listed in this guide for attacks against an opponent on the
turnbuckle do not always apply to Yoko. Most "homing attacks" will
connect normally as if Yoko was still standing. However things such
as HK becoming a normal kick attack still apply. Most characters who
whiff those kicks on higher turnbuckle climbers will find that they
will connect on Yokozuna.
-Note- Yokozuna can cancel from his turnbuckle climb into a Salt Throw.
That is, have LP charging while climbing the rope, then release it.
-Bug- You are able to perform a Salt Throw (D, DF, F, LP) immediately after
a Butt Scissors or a Hanging Suplex. If the salt misses it causes the
opponent to freeze in air. Usually performing Butt Scissors (F, F, HK)
is enough to unfreeze the opponent and get them back to normal.
-Bug- Using the above glitch, you are able to KO the opponent while they are
stuck in air. If outside the ring, grapple and perform a missed Salt
Throw to the opponent. Once they are frozen in air, get back inside
the ring. Eventually the game will drain all the remaining energy
from the opponent's lifebar for being outside the ring. They will be
KOed, but still be frozen in the air until the next round.
-Bug- This glitch is very unpredictable, but I'll list it anyway. After
freezing an opponent in air using a missed Salt Throw, try climbing
the turnbuckle. Sometimes the frozen opponent's sprite will move
slightly. It will move right when climbing the left turnbuckle, and
it will move left when climbing the right turnbuckle. You can continue
to move the frozen sprite around the ring. Try moving it as far over
toward a set of ring ropes as you can by getting on the turnbuckle
over and over. A slew of follow up bugs will happen including falling
out of the ring when trying to climb the turnbuckle. Again, the results
of this glitch are very random, so any number of things is possible.
-Bug- You are able to cancel a Salt Throw from the super combo initiators.
This ends the super combo, but you retain your combo meter. You also
recieve no hit count message.
-Bug- No reversal message for using the Salt Throw as a reversal.
-Bug- Performing a Belly Hit or Dashing Jab when running away from opponent
causes Yokozuna to slide backwards.
-Bug- Sometimes performing the Alternate S./S./J./E. causes Yoko to miss and
leave the opponent in a phantom grapple.
-Bug- Yokozuna can connect with his Salt Throw from outside the ring while
the opponent is in the ring.
-Bug- You can't perform the Doll Spin on Razor or Doink. This also means
that any super combo that involves a doll spin will not activate fully
on Doink or Razor.
-Bug- Doing a Hiptoss on an opponent that's on the turnbuckle seems to
"float" then pull them.
-Bug- The Homing Bucket Slam is glitched in that Yoko can do floating follow
ups.
-Bug- D, DF, F, P in the Power Grab causes opponent to float above your head.
Can link a Banzai Drop from the turnbuckle to the helpless opponent.
Use Run (LP+LK) to get out from underneath them. All attacks to
opponent after "exiting" from underneath them act like attacks to a
grounded opponent. A running Butt Drop will connect with opponent, the
other attacks will not.
-Bug- This bug has some tricky timing but will work once you get it down. As
with above, this involves the use of the Power Grab glitch. The basic
idea of this glitch is to finish the match with a running Butt Drop onto
a floating opponent (float opponent by performing D, DF, F, P in the
Power Grab, then "exit" with LP+LK). The running Butt Drop must touch
the opponent just as they are getting "down" from the phantom Power
Grab. So you will have to run around a bit before performing the move
to get the opponent in the right time frame to hit them in. If done too
early, the opponent will be struck and fall straight down out of the
sky. If done too late the Butt Drop will act as a normal Butt Scissors
catching the opponent out of the sky. Both these will end up in normal
KOs. The special KO occurs between these two. If performed correctly,
the opponent will be KOed and continue to stand up, frozen. The comp
will try to push your Yoko toward them to elbow drop them, but you can
avoid this by using the run...leaving the opponent standing up while
losing the match. This can be done on any round...even both rounds if
you want. To practice the timing, you can try performing it during the
match. You will notice that it is possible to hit the opponent with
a running Butt Drop while they are getting "down" and they will not be
knocked off their feet, but will take damage. This is why the glitch
activates when used at the end of the match.
-Bug- If caught doing a Bucket attack as the clock reaches time over, Yokozuna
will be followed by a "dust" cloud the next round. As soon as he
performs a move it disappears.
Ending
------
With conquest comes honor for Yoko. He has accomplished his mission to defeat
the greatest of the world’s wrestlers, and to prove that his sumo style of
wrestling is superior to all others. By stripping the United States of its
championship belt and its dignity, Yokozuna will be revered as one of his
country’s greatest champions. The consequences of this victory will no doubt
be the undoing of American culture as we know it: there will be years of
adversity. American productivity will disintegrate. Industries will collapse.
The people will wallow in mindless depravity, mere shadows of their former
selves. Oh, well. It was bound to happen eventually anyway.

Notes and Bugs
--------------
-Note- Bam Bam’s combo meter fills when he climbs the turnbuckle.
-Note- When running, just about when you get to the ropes, you cannot perform
the Super Clothesline.
-Note- Both the Neckbreaker and Shadow Neckbreaker can connect to a grounded
opponent. Just release near the fallen wrestler.
-Bug- Four branches of Bam Bam’s super combos do not drain his combo meter (So
as long as the opponent stays in the ring from the Backdrop). If this
happens, the combo is also not registered with a hit count message.
-Bug- After a Power Grab (HK+HP), release HK but continue to hold onto HP, then
release HP after 3 seconds and if timed right, the opponent will float
in air above Bam Bam's head. You can also do this from his string by
holding HP when pressing it after the initiator, and then releasing it
3 seconds later. This glitch activates far too late to play with the
bugged effects.
-Bug- Sometimes performing the Alternate Pogo/Breaker causes Bam Bam to miss
and leave the opponent in a phantom grapple.
-Bug- Performing a running grapple to an opponent on the turnbuckle causes a
huge glitch where both you and the opponent will float up into the air.
You can exit leaving the opponent to be stuck in the air, and perform a
slew of follow up glitches such as hopping, being "pulled", floating
around, and so on.
-Bug- If performing the Greetings From Asbury Park or the Shadow Neckbreaker
when the time runs out you will be followed by an orange shadow the
next round. It will disappear if those moves are performed again or
you are hit by the opponent.
-Bug- If you are connecting a Dropkick as the time runs out, your opponent
will be followed by a flame the next round. It will disappear if they
perform a move or get hit.
-Bug- First, you must avoid the pin by climbing the turnbuckle instead of
going for the pin. Once you're up there, wait until the victory message
comes up, and as soon as the WWF symbol snaps under your lifebar for the
victory, jump off the turnbuckle. If timed right, you should hit the
opponent just as the next round begins, and they will have a mess of
orange and yellow in their color pallette. This lasts on the opponent
until they are hit.
Ending
------
The remains of his final opponents cooled down to smoldering ashes. However,
Bam Bam did not. Still fired up from the heat of battle with eyes glaring,
chest heaving, and licks of flame dancing up from his hands, Bam Bam turned to
the audience and delivered a vigilant stare. His eyes scanned back and forth
and a sinister smile crept across his face. He raised his hands and without
warning came a blast of flames which engulfed the entire stadium. The audience
was charred to flakes, the stadium was reduced to pebbles, and the WWF title
belonged to Bam Bam Bigelow. The undisputed champion stood among the silent
ruins of the now shattered amphitheater, master of all he surveyed.

Notes and Bugs
--------------
-Note- Shawn has no attack for pressing LP while running.
-Note- Shawn cannot perform a running Sunset Flip in a one on one match if
the opponent is on the turnbuckle. Pressing LP/HP while running produces
no effect.
-Note- Shawn cannot buffer any grapple moves directly after the fourth hit of
his f+LK string. He can, however, buffer them in before that point.
-Bug- The Hiptoss during the F+HK string empties Shawn's combo meter
completely.
-Bug- The last hit of Shawn's Combo (F, F, K, HK, HK) always misses.
-Bug- If performing a Hiptoss to an opponent on the turnbuckle (Bam Bam,
Undertaker, or Razor), the opponent will get touched and fly off as if
they were hit.
-Bug- In a Shawn versus Shawn match, the 2Player cannot complete the combo
with the starting initiator F, F, LP.
-Bug- Performing Shawn's Arm Breaker as a reversal when he has a full combo
meter will produce a small kick instead with no reversal message
present.
-Bug- Shawn's Homing Sunset Flip will not connect with the opponent as long
as they stay on the turnbuckle.
-Bug- Shawn's Homing Snapkick causes a glitch in that he can perform mid air
cancels.
-Bug- Sometimes performing the Alternate Kicktoss/Frankensteiner causes Shawn
to miss and leave the opponent in a phantom grapple.
-Bug- Rare bug where Shawn will perform a running Suplex and the opponent
will move out of his reach, but get phantom slammed.
-Bug- Performing a running grapple to an opponent on the turnbuckle causes a
huge glitch where both you and the opponent will float up into the air.
You can exit leaving the opponent to be stuck in the air, and perform a
slew of follow up glitches such as hopping, being "pulled", floating
around, and so on.
Ending
------
Shawn strutted around the ring arrogantly for several minutes, flexing and
chewing his gum with an obnoxious smirk on his face. He had always bragged
that he was the greatest thing to grace the World Wrestling Federation, and now
he has finally proven it. The ladies in the audience reached out their arms to
him and screamed his name. With that, Shawn thought he’d be cute by teasing
them with a little hip action. The ladies, in an uncontrollable lust-crazed
frenzy, stampeded the ring like cattle, trying to get hold of him. Shawn
scrambled to escape the clutches of the horde, but to no avail. They quickly
cornered him and proceeded to ravage him, mercilessly. When they were through,
Shawn was left lying motionless, sans his clothing and some hair, yet with a
big ol’ grin stamped on his face. He loved the attention, and more so, he
loved the women. His craving for attention and multiple women led him to
leave wrestling and become a politician, where he could get his fill of both.

Ending
------
Through the excellence of execution, Bret finished off the last of the bunch.
His victory made newspaper and magazine headlines throughout the world and
Bret’s popularity grew to outrageous proportions. While defending his title
for five years straight, he became a star of stage and screen as well as the
ring, appearing in several weekly television dramas and Broadway productions.
Unbeatable, he retired as champion to pursue a big screen career in Italy,
where he became the greatest spaghetti-western star in film history, winning
six Academy Awards over his lifetime, and grossing over 300 million dollars
on each of his films.

a string, although just as near impossible as
performing this alternate method G) There are
sometimes glitches from this, such as a totally
whiffed Power Grab or an "exit" leaving the
opponent in a phantom grapple H) Either insanely
fast hands or a turbo method is needed to do this)

Notes and Bugs
--------------
-Note- 2Player can select Lex's hidden color by entering buddy mode.
-Note- Lex's Power Grab cancel must be done immediately after the Flail. In
other words, the initial hit of the Flail must not hit.
-Bug- Activating the Axel Smash within a Power Grab causes opponent to
float above your head. Use Run (LP+LK) to get out from underneath
opponent. All attacks to opponent after "exiting" from underneath them
act like attacks to a grounded opponent. A Flail outside the float will
connect with opponent, any other attacks will not. This is just like
Yokozuna's bug, however you have significantly less time before the
opponent falls back to the ground.
-Bug- Buffering the Eye Poker from Lex's string (F+K) will sometimes miss.
This actually happens a lot if done after the third or fourth kick.
-Bug- Performing Lex's Flail (F, F, HK) very close to the opponent will have
Lex jump backwards and miss the move.
-Bug- Sometimes performing the Alternate Power Grab/Suplex/Escape causes Lex
to miss and leave the opponent in a phantom grapple.
-Bug- In a Lex versus Lex match, the 2Player cannot complete the combo with the
starting initiator F, F, HK.
-Bug- If Lex performs the Flail while running away from his opponent, he will
slide backwards.
Ending
------
A star spangled celebration for the ultimate American symbol. Lex Luger’s
victory was renowned throughout the country and was recognized as one of the
greatest triumphs of the 20th Century. A new national holiday was named, and
people everywhere from coast to coast threw open their windows and chanted his
name. This was more than just a victory for Lex, it was a victory the good ol’
U.S. of A... Americans could once again hold their heads high and stand proud.
Lex represents all the people in this great land. When he toured the United
States in his "Lex Express", he brought back a piece of every person in every
town he visited. Lex views himself as the product of all Americans who, in his
mind, made him what he is: America’s "All American."

6. General Bugs
===============================================================================
6.1 Bugs And Generally How To Cause Them
----------------------------------------
-It's possible to have two people climb the turnbuckle at the same time.
Success seems random, but if you try to climb the turnbuckle relatively at
the same time, it is possible to get them both on it. Seems to work best
using Doink or Shawn. Yokozuna also has a more reliable time with the
opponent climbing on the turnbuckle just as he sets up for the Banzai Drop.
-Avoiding pins. When it says pin him, climb the turnbuckle and just stay there.
Eventually you'll get the winning message without actually pinning them.
-A similar glitch with avoiding pins can be performed with the opponent on the
outside, while your character is in the ring. To perform this glitch, have
the opponent KO by running themself into the barrier as you are standing on the
turnbuckle. It will take a few seconds before the match will end and for the
victor message will be displayed.
-Grapple glitches. Most notably when someone is in a head hold and something
pushes the two apart, the person being grappled will still be bent over for
a second or two, despite no one holding their head. I've had a follow up
glitch to this happen where my character suddenly moved very quickly to the
left side of the screen until I was actually outside the ring. I regained
control of my character and was able to get back into the ring.
-Camera not moving. While playing buddy mode, if either 1Player or 2Player get
KOed on the outside of the ring, the camera will stick and not pan back to the
ring until the next round. A follow up glitch to this is the frozen sprite
you can get. Simply run into the "cut off" point and your sprite will freeze
in animation. You can even move it up and down while still running into the
cut off zone and you'll have a frozen sprite sliding around.
6.2 Bugs With Apparent Random Cause
-----------------------------------
-Having the select screen music carry over to the first round of the match.
-Pin Him appears again after pinfall and winning message have already occurred.
-Time over message appears over and over as game becomes stuck.
-Running "backwards."
