Dear Chio Reto

You don't happen to have any of those drawings you did for CWA characters a few years ago do you? I want make a Special Giznap and J Dub CAW but can't remember what they looked like.

Any other info about Giz and Dub would be appreciated too. I remember Giznap's finisher was the Cookie Cutter (Diamond Cutter) and J Dub's was called the Rap Sheet. I think it was a top rope legdrop holding a chair underneath him, but not too sure on that.

I know you asked Chris, but...

That sounds about right for J Dub, though I suppose the closest in the game would be the double leg drop from the top. As to his look, I have no idea.

I did make a Giznap CAW on an old Smackdown game once and my CAW looked a little like The Miz, save for jean shorts and a T-shirt with a corrupted Superman Logo on it which had a G instead of an S. But I can't remember if that was just something I came up with, or what he was supposed to actually look like.

I seem to remember Giz's picture had him in jeans, no shirt and grinning. And J Dub's black jeans, no shirt and sunglasses and looking angry. Could be wrong though. I just fancied something to work with.

I'm afraid I don't, though I have a fair recollection of them.

Typically Giz had a brown buzzcut, van dyke beard and thick sunglasses, though aside from the lack of shirt I don't remember the exact gear he wore (I only did a head and shoulders pic of him), though he was considerably shorter than J Dub I believe.

I always drew J Dub with spiked brown hair, blue jeans and black shoes, as well as being pretty lanky and having a cocky smile on his face. As far as moves are concerned, the Rap Sheet is right, though he also used a top rope superkick (Diving Kick should do the job) as a finisher, and a D'Lo Brown style Sky High (Drop Down as he calls it) for a signature (I think there's a sitdown spinebuster in there that might work for it, but I'm not sure).

Speaking of CAWs, any chances of seeing that Joxide one uploaded, David? I want to have an up-to-date roster prior to the reunion.

Fuck me, you're right. I remember now. The flying kick, Drop Down and the Rap Sheet. Good recall there! How the hell did you remember that?

I liked the Joxide one you did, although it looked a bit camp. Still, way better than anything that could've come from my hands!

Since I've managed to draw current discussion back to CAWs I would like to take this opportunity to ask people for facial morphing values possibly a pic of their CAW's attires, if not possible a description maybe? Stupid me getting a fucking Playstation :p

Chi Reto would be good to make! Have you made an Orland Zacconi one as well?

I made a few J Dub CAWs in my time. :p

I've got CAWs for Chio and Orland actually. I'll jot down the specifics when I get the chance.

Smashing, cheers

Anyone else who has made CXA CAW's feel free to include yours here too

Bump.

I made a J Dub & Giz CAW, still waiting for morphs and descriptions or pics to be posted WINK WINK :p

Yeah, sorry about that, I gave you morphs for Shand and Joxide didn't I?

I'll try to get the face morphs for Fox, Homer, Matt, and Reggie up at the weekend.

You have a photo for Myron's latest costume, and elsewhere on here should be the ones for Matt and Reaper.

Unfortunately, my Joxide CAW can't be uploaded. Even though its an original CAW and has no downloaded created moves, I think I may have added a downloaded move at some point and it won't clear it and let me upload him. I'll have another go this weekend.

Yeah I got those, but I've put off doing the Myron & Shand CAWs bcause of the detail needed. I typically just whirl through it. I made Giznap & Dub and did both their movesets in an hour last night. I'll try them tonight though, might be able to sort something out.

SD! is gonna be my WCW show and Raw my CXA show.

Just a quick question, if you move a wrestler to another show does he have to start at the bottom of the title ladder again? I've played pretty much all my matches with my Joxide CAW and now he's at the #1 contender for all the titles and I want to inspire a bit of competition between the other CAWs. I figured I could solve this problem by switching the shows they're on then switching back?

Also, if you move a character to the ECW or WCW brand, will they stay out of SD! & Raw shows for good?

On moving to ECW or WCW - Yes, they stay off RAW and Smackdown for good.

On retaining position when you cross between RAW and Smackdown, he won't be number 1 contender, but he should appear on the ranking somewhere. You can easily get him to be a top contender by booking him in all four matches on the new show in one night and having him batter everyone ranked above him. Ive just done that with Chio to get him ranked for the WHC.

Oh right, yeah good plan. I'll do it with some of the WCW CAW's so I can mix it up a bit. Doing the Raw show should be fairly easy, just introduce each CAW as I make them into the title leagues I'm gonna put them in and phase out WWE wrestlers.

You need to have two WWE wrestlers on each brand, so just use two that were in WCW, give one the WHC/WWE belt and the other the US/IC. The move all the others of the show, and your CAWs will be ranked. A few quick matches should sort out a rough order of contendership

Yeah, good idea.

Just a thought, how many CXA characters do you have? And how many roughly do you need for a show? About 25 ish you think?

Reaper
Fireball / Forgotten Warrior
Myron Fox
Homer Cyde
Reggie Cyde
Chio Reto
Joxide
Mike Rocket
Derek Verona
Dominus
Paul James
Out Cold
Steve Awesome
Rob Arnold

Are all on Smackdown, bulked out with a couple of British guys, guys from the Indys, the Miz, CM Punk, and a couple of cruiserweights.

I'll get some screenshots or vids sorted tonight with CAW morphing and costumes.

Cheers Wheato man. No rush at the moment as I still got loads to make :p

Excellent. I'll get the screenshots to you by 2012.

Hahahahaha

Sorry mate. Not done those vids yet. Whenever I start up the game I either end up making a CAW or playing Universe. Chi just beat The Reaper in my Universe. Is that a sign of things to come?
