wrestlers stats

[soug]

I think all wrestlers in the PFW should have their stats posted somewhere on the board. So we get an idea of their "capabilities".

yeah, that's a good idea, as I know that dave has some that I gave him and they haven't been posted here. some of the others were in the Tag team Havoc tourny in the COTG boards. but it would be nice to have them all listed here to see or to look back on.

I've just finished uploading everybody's official PFW bootleg character cards to my web page and hot-linked them next to everybody's name on the PFW Roster thread. Ray, I haven't had the chance yet to update your card, so your original Rayd card (not the Clown Prince of Hardcore card) is being posted for the time being. I hope to put the updated card up as early as tomorrow afternoon. Also, coming soon to the PFW roster thread is the sWo Beast and Splattercat (I'm reluctantly putting him on the roster despite his "energy moves", such as the Energy Punch, the Bone Smasher, and his NOVA finisher. I'd like to see some changes to those moves that are more LWF-plausible. These moves seem better geared for the GWF or CPC, and I've already stated that I'm looking to run PFW like it was an LoW fed. But for now, I'll let those moves stand.)

I just checked out some of the stats....i really think there has to be some sort of " guide lines" set for them.
I have no problem with "strong" characters but when you have guys like Chewie with 3 level 2 comebacks of level 2 defence and others like Shadow king with so many combacks, even on level 3 defence...I think it's a bit much!!
I mean I though I went a little over the top with the sWo Beast. But he only has 2 combacks on level 2 defence, more than one down and a pin rating of 8.....but compared to Chewie...he's a cream puff!
what do you guys think ?

well, a lot of these guys did these stats originally for the Promoter Tag Team Havoc and I didn't set any guidelines to how they set up their stats. I just wanted ppl to come up with their own stats and be creative.

I never dreamed that this would unfold into the PFW and be an ongoing thing. And most of these guys aren't even on this board half the time anyways, at least I never see them post any promos or challenges?!?

As for running this like an LOW fed, which is fine, I sometimes feel that it limits the "creativity" that a wrestler wants to perform, such as SC's finisher. Just keep in mind that this is all for fun and not to be taken seriously, as real or anything, and ppl should have the creative inspiration that brought them to the game in the first place

That's one reason why I'm reluctantly allowing SC into PFW with the stats he has. But how far can this creativity go before the characters start becoming "stacked"? I know that on the CotG Discussion Board, there are some promoters who are upset that there are "stacked" characters being posted on the board (whatever it means by being "stacked"). I just don't want to see too many of those "stacked" characters entering and eventually dominating PFW that people are going to quit because they feel that it's no longer fun. I'm sure you can see my dilema

Yor right Barn...That's why JD's stats was toned down some...and you did not object so ...I know he's fine as is...I still wanted him to be a player in the Fed not just a jobber...you could use some of those that don't really chime in as jobbers if need be...I also worry about super groups run by just one or two ppl's...I mentioned this before in a pm to you...I liked the way JD was able to form a tag team outside of me bringing in another wrestler...That's the fun of one ppl per wrestler...

well, if it's "guidelines" ppl seek, look no further than Tom Filsinger's guidelines for creating bootlegs. As far as I know, there are no rules being broken in SC stats? He's usually a follower of the "guidelines" and I don't see his stats being "stacked"?

I would suggest this, if you see some stats (like my first card of Rayd) that has some guideline mistakes, you should have the right to "modify" them or at least call someone on it and let them make the appropiate changes to make them legit.

Whether or not it's "realistic" like a LOW fed, is besides the point, as long as it follows the cotg guidelines that are in place, what's the difference?!?

[soug]

everyone has a point. but i got to agree with Dave and have characters that are "human", like the LOW.
Stacked wrestlers are bad for the fed....because others will think.." why do I bother". I mean I dont want anyone to be a jobber...but be fair.
What if we all went and changed our stats!? we might aswell be all unbeatable.......hmmm could be interesting!
