I'd like to do more normal matches too. I know we all love crazy gimmick matches ( who doesn't? ), but man there is a sweet science to bending the rules to fuck a dude over.
Just ask Christian about his DQ loss to Jericho. He was Big Show, and kicking my ASS before he got royally screwed. It was so awesome.
Haha, yeah. I was Big Show, Ash was Jericho, and I was actually doing okay for once. The ref gets bumped, Ash brings the ringbell into the ring, I clothesline his ass and steal the bell, but the ref wasn't on my screen, and I didn't notice he was back up. So I nail Ash with the bell, and the fucking ref DQ's me, and to make matters worse I can hear Ash pissing himself laughing on his mic. Not cool.
Made a CAW and started using him in career mode. His stats are so shitty that matches take 10 minutes +, and it's pretty cool since you can't fuck around like normal, and you have to treat it like real competition. Shame I keep getting owned, since I still haven't mastered kicking out of pins yet.

This is how I kick out of pins. It's a tip Jay gave me.
Put the controller down and use four fingers to hit all the face buttons at once as many times as humanly possible. That's the only way to do shit in a Last Man Standing match too unless you're lucky enough to get the green thing to hit the blue thing.

Unless they add him as DLC later, you can't. Welcome to the future of gaming, where each store has a different version of a game.
The future also has new SKUs for the DS and PSP weekly, and hourly Guitar Hero releases.

Have they fixed how ridiculously tedious it was to import music? Or do you still have to make each song its own playlist and whatnot?
No, but after you've ripped a song, it only takes a few seconds to stick it into its own playlist, so it isn't really that big of a problem.
Made a CAW that comes out to 'Someone's in the Wolf' by QOTSA yesterday with a custom entrance which is the shit.

I got a song to play off a desktop playlist, like once, but couldn't get it to do it again. I'm not sure if that was a fluke or if the other unsuccessful times are due to something weird with my network. It's probably easier to just buy some cheapass CD-Rs and burn/rip songs to the 360.

lol Yak Man wants to hate this game so bad. Play it first, then judge!
I got Superman to come out to "What's My Name?" by Snoop. He does JTG's entrance. Just some nuts and a cock, robbin' motherfuckers and Supes kills them bloodclots.
That's just temporary, I am going to burn the John Williams theme onto my computer and make a super-serial entrance for Supes before long.
I changed Undertaker's theme to No Quarter though. That shit is pimp.

How many online players can you have in one match? Because an all-411 Elimination Chamber would be sick, if it's possible.

Eh, if you wrestle in exhibition tag matches, you can built the points up pretty fast, especially if it's some kind of gimmick match, and your CAW gets the pin from their finisher. Oh, and you get extra points if it's a tag team title match as well.
The CAW Road to Wrestlemania mode is a complete bastard however, it's mostly handicap and Fatal Four Way matches (which are a bitch to win in this game). There's a cute bit where you get to trash Vince's office and piss around in the production truck whilst Vince is cutting an interview like DX did that time, but otherwise it's horrible.

How's the point system lame? You can build up your guy any way you please, and assign any abilities you want. If peein' your pants is cool, then consider me Vivaldi.
We should do a fatal 4 way ladder match.

The costume points and the # of CaW uses in a created storyline are both really lame, and I'm hoping somehow someday it gets patched out. I imagine the costume points is probably some obnoxious way to try and keep lag in online matches under control by keeping CaWs as simple as possible.

Dude, I'm a fucking technophone, and have only had an X-Box 360 a week, but it took me about five minutes to work out on my own. I can't remember exactly how, but it's ridiculously simple.
Stick the CD in the console and go from there.

The main event of Orton's storyline is a bitch. His RtW is so-so, but the CAW one is a fucking bitch. Currently a couple of matches into Edge's, and it's been pretty easy so far, aside from one Fatal Four Way match.

I didn't know you could unlock Dibiase or Rhodes in the mania match based on who you pinned. I ended up pinning Cody. Had I known at the time I would have pinned Ted.

I didn't know that either.
I ended up pinning Ted, and I'd have preferred Dusty. 
I do love how Orton is a complete douche throughout his storyline though.

Okay, so is it actually possible to win the main event at the end of the Edge story?
I hit a Spear and starting climbing the cage, then I got into this stupid button mashing thing (different than usual), which I lost, and lose the match. Kennedy beat me up after the match as well, but I still got the end credits and unlocked the achievement for completing Edge's story. Weird.

Yeah, I won the Edge thing. I hit the Edgeecution, ran across the ring, climbed the cage. When I got to the top, Maria opened the door for Kennedy. He crawled over, she slammed it on his head, I dropped to the floor and got the title and the girl.
Edge's story is actually all I've had time to do so far. From the bit I've seen though, I'm pretty impressed with the game as a whole.

yeah, Edge's final match was hard
think the key is just to keep fighting and not try climbing until after Maria comes out so the 'story' can play out
has anyone tried playing the Unlockable Santino story? haven't made it past the second match yet (handicap vs Khali/Mark Henry/Umaga)
the Brand Warfare takes a while, 2 or 3 matches per week.

That son-a-ma-gun Santino stole my clothes!
The point limit on clothing is absurd. As far as I can tell it disallows the possibility of wearing a jacket, pants and sunglasses at the same time. Other than that, the tweaks to the CAW system are pretty good.

First CAW 1.Reverse Brainbuster (Reverse DDT->Suplex->Suplex Impact 3?) 2.Texas Cloverleaf
Next CAW 1. STOMG - Chokeslam setup->Rock Bottom Lift->that backflip STO impact 2. Probably a shooting star elbow drop, or moonsault double stomp.
Finisher made during CAW Road to Wrestlemania Pumphandle->Oklahoma Slam->Sideslam-> Death Valley impact which = BRUTAL
Aerial finishers are cool, but so far it seems difficult to not make them awkward. Also haven't gotten the hang of the video editing. After using Final Cut Pro for years, it feels like trying to do a delicate photoshop with Microsoft Paint.

Main CAW:
1. Hoists the dude up onto his shoulder, points at the crowd to let them know he is a babyface, and then hits a wicked ass Emerald Fusion.
2. Crazy ass Snuka Splash with RVD sell.

I could really do without the whole CAWs being so weak at the start. It would be nice if they started at say 70 points rather than 40. If i want to make Kurt Angle I have to spend so long building him up to be as good as he is in real life, but by then I'm sick of using him.
