Rocket and Shand All-Stars pictures, and a Shand face pic

(The dynamic lighting effects that you see in the Match picture make your characters look 10 times better in the match than they do in the CAW mode viewer.)

I'm also making more CAWs... I'll post more pictures as I make them.


By the way.. I should point out. Making CAWs in this game is easy and doesn't take very long at all.

The only time consuming part of it is doing your face and body morphing, which i'm happy to say, they let you tweak a lot of angles. A good CAW can be made in about 15 minutes.

Heh Heh Heh, that's pretty cool actually. Hopefully my copy will arrive today and once I've got the show up this weekend I can have a good go.

In fact, you know what, screw Taker's Tombstone, I really love Mr Perfect's somersault Perfect-Plex. I'm having that as my finish.

Ah, ok. I have you in my game with Mr. Perfect's moveset and Undertaker's Finisher, but I think i'll change it to be the other way around now: Perfect's finisher and Taker's moves.

No, keep Perfect's moves. Shand should be a technical grappler, and Perfect seems to have some nice suplexes and stuff.

Once I have the game and have played through with people and seen the combos, I'll make a final decision

I've made a pretty good Chio now...

But I'm going to wait until I have a few more CAWs before I take any more pictures.

*Sound of guns being clicked*

Voice (over loudhailer): Put the 360 controller down, and get back your PC and start writing again!

Hahahaha!

Yeah, I already am going to get back to that soon. For the last few days, i've been maybe writing for about an hour a day, but I'm going back to writing for the more of the weekend.

At least the game's not particularly addictive (thank goodness it's no SvR), so after Wednesday (the rest of today) and Thursday of steady writing and not going anywhere, i'm hoping for 60-70% completeness of the match.

In the meantime, lookin' forward to seeing the Reunion strung together.

I thought Thursday was your designated writing day? :p

Yeah I was planning on being even more of a procrastinating bastard, but I feel like I should work on it for the rest of today AND tomorrow, instead.

Seriously though, for about the last 4 days, I can't blame anyone else but myself for doing less than I should have. I need to catch a second wind, like now.

(edit: Oh. I thought today was Wednesday, because i'm a fucking moron.)

OH WAIT A MINUTE. IT'S NOT STILL WEDNESDAY???

WTF HOW DID THAT HAPPEN? I could have sworn it was Wednesday! >_> Where did yesterday go?!?

Ok, well fuck All-Stars then. Wow. Turning it off. Writing.

That Shand CAW is cool. His face looks like the face of a 360 avatar though lol. I see that when you play as a CAW, there's a generic grey face by your health bar. It would have been a nice touch to have a pic of your CAWs face there instead, and I'm sure it wouldn't be much work to make it happen.

Interesting thing about facial hair...

In this game, depending on what you do with the face and the facial hair itself, you can actually move it around and change the shape, size, dimensions and 3D-ness of it.

Not always directly but if you play around with it, you'll find ways to mix it around by exploiting the face morphing and the thickness of some bits themselves.

For instance, those are actually a separate moustache, goatee and sideburns, and then I tweaked them until they connected together.

I got my copy of the game and I've created a Reaper. Went for the same basic costume as in Mike's one, but I had it be white going into black to reflect his new look for Reunion. Also went for a goatee and stubble.

I need to play around with the morphing more to get the balance right. At first he was too small, but now he's a bit too large. Once I have him right I'll do Fox, Fireball, Homer, and Reggie, and put some pictures up.

I see that most of the finishers are locked at the start, even if you unlock everyone through Fantasy Warfare. I assume you need to unlock the movesets in path of champions. So I've got Shand using the RKO at the moment, and I've actually combined it with Bret Hart's moveset as I like his combos and submission holds.

Really enjoying the game so far. Its not wonderfully deep, but its just good fun.
