This guide was primarily written for Xbox, and has been fitted to work with ps2. Consult the ps2 manual if some buttons in this guide do not work.
Custom Wrestler:
Move set: Ruckus ( 7 button combo: AAAAAAA on Xbox, XXXXXXX on Ps2) Super: Vic Grimes Outro: Violent J Difficulty: Low Music: Low (heavily muted VoDs will be rejected)
False Start Glitch: While the intro cutscene is playing for your opponent, hold the joystick in any direction. Your CAW will move in that direction before the fight begins. This can be used in certain fights to get early Turbo/mission requirements.
Combo Stack Glitch: Upon finishing your combo, Stomp your opponent and immediately do a guard break. If successful, your combo will continue. This can be stacked back to back for fast damage, and could, shorten fights by a second or two.
This guide was written before the semi-consistent reversals setup was found. If you choose to do Reverals first, please scroll down and read mission 13, then start this guide.
Timing starts upon selecting "YES" on the "are you done?" screen
