In Smackdown: Here comes the Pain, you can actually make your own WRESTLING MOVE. You heard me right, there is a fuckign ANIMATION editor, where you can create your own custom taunts, and the taunts can be scripted to do damage. Fucking love that game.
Any of them bring back mixed-sex matches? Which one has the best customization? That's the only reason I play. I like making crazy characters who fight each other. I always challenge myself to make characters from movies and shit. I'm the same guy who praised Here Comes The Pain for having a built-in TAUNT editor earlier in this thread.

so fucking cool. I made a move where you do a backflip and can kick your opponent in the fucking face. Then I made a bunch of kung-fu spinning combos with crazy kicks and punches.
Mixed Sex hasn't been a thing in forever, the best you get is Mixed tag team matches and even then if your dude hits their girl is automatic loss, no it doesn't matter if you set it to no DQ
and customization is better in 2k23 than it was in 22, with the fact you can create Arenas, shows, tittles and what not
but Taunts, custom videos, custom moves and the like?
sorry bud, a small indie company like 2k can't afford those, they still have to use the few pennies they get to hire Jake Paul because his THREE fucking intros are more important than actually letting you upload your own videos and music
For shame. Well, thanks for satisfying my curiosity. I'd definitely recommend Here Comes The Pain if you love customization. You won't be as impressed by the character creation options but the moveset and taunt-creator are the best. I might make a video on it where Yoshi, Shrek, and Walter White do backflips, sliding attacks, and kung fu moves at each other.
2K14 is generally considered the most recent game that's genuinely fun to play, and it has a ton of customization options for these kinds of games in regard to CAW visuals, CAW move sets, custom entrances, custom arenas, and so on. The animations are pretty smooth and varied, the 2-counts properly function, and there are tons of match types. 2K19 is the next closest game to being actually fun to play and brings back tons of customization options and match types that 2K15-18 removed, and the were again removed from 2K20 onward. 2K14 and 2K19 generally have the best loading times and are the least likely to crash as well.

I remember at one point I literally had like two wrestlers in my roster and every single night they would fight each other for a championship and somehow it worked. The GM mode in 2k23 fucking sucks in comparison. Way too much forced handholding
That was the funniest shit I've ever seen. Which game is this clip from and how do I get to that exterior area? Please tell me I can go there with my custom characters and it's not some campaign-only crap.
On the complete opposite end of the spectrum, you have AEW Fight Forever which is one of the most disappointing games I've played. Every update breaks the game and adds nothing. Also community manager for THQ is such a fucking tool.
>No Mercy's is really fun because they set it up as a sort of pyramid of matches with branching paths if you win or lose most matches, so you have to do multiple playthroughs on each title to fully complete them. They are fairly simple now obviously given the time period and console, in that cutscenes are pretty sort and basic, but the gameplay never gets old.
>Day of Reckoning 1 and 2 on Gamecube have linear storylines (and 2 is a sequel to 1's) with your CAW, they're lengthy enough.
>Smackdown Shut Your Mouth and Here Comes the Pain on PS2 have pretty fun calendar career modes where you just sort of play out a few years of a career with little storylines and whatnot. This might be what you're looking for.
>Smackdown vs RAW and Smackdown vs RAW 2006 on PS2 have voiced campaigns so they are more firmly locked in, they're basically a series of storylines over a year starring your CAW or any wrestler you pick. They can be pretty entertaining, though the VA is obviously not great given wrestlers aren't voice actors. I also notice in 2006 your guy gets his ass kicked constantly in cutscenes. That can get hilarious in how lame you are.
And for the crazy one >WrestleMania XIX on Gamecube doesn't have a traditional go for the title campaign. Instead it has REVENGE Mode, a singleplayer where your CAW or selected wrestler is fired by Vince McMahon, and so to get revenge you decide to go around to all WWE's properties and destroy them and murder all his staff. I'm not making that part up. You do all your wrestling moves on the security guards, dock workers, etc and throw them off buildings, ships, harbors etc. It's quite amazing. Best part is after you do the singleplayer you unlock all the locations for multiplayer.
I like the Kinnikuman PSP game
Is it as good as Kinnikuman Muscle Grand Prix?
Wrestlemania arcade
my god there needs to be another wrastlin' game like this.

>eceleb bullshit
fuck off
Take it easy son, it's just a drawing.
>openly admits that he recongnises it
You will never fit in.
I remember playing WWF SmackDown for the PS1. I only really fucked around with the character creator.
No Mercy, WWE 2K14, and WWE 2K19.
Haven't played any of the 2k games. What makes them shine?
>fewer customization options
>no mixed-sex matches
they're a nice blend between the realism and arcady things about the old SvR games
like, the latest one 2k23? pretty decent overall

What has this world come to.

joel is my favorite vinesauce
I hate his horror tangents, he tries to sound sophisticated but he ends up sounding retarded.
>DA ATMOSPHERE GUYS DAT'S REAL SCARY
That was the funniest shit I've ever seen. Which game is this clip from and how do I get to that exterior area? Please tell me I can go there with my custom characters and it's not some campaign-only crap.
Smackdown Here Comes The Pain. It has custom characters and I'm pretty sure you can enter these special arena using OCs.
No fucking shit. I was just jerking that game off earlier in this thread. Now I just found ANOTHER reason to sing its praises.
Holy shit.
Any game that lets you play as La Parka is the best.
smackdown
Surprisingly comfy thread
>heading to page 10 archived
Anyways, Wrestling Empire. Playing as the ref and beating the shit out of the wrestlers will never cease to amaze me.
Fire Pro Wrestling World.

>AEW Fight Forever which is one of the most disappointing games I've played
True.
A shame because I really wanted a working wrestling game on Switch
when will they make a TJPW/Stardust wrestling game a.k.a Rumble Roses 3
