Here are the details on my NES Pro Wrestling Project. The edits listed below are on the pack:

Spoiler: show

NES Pro Wrestling 2

The Concept: In 1987 Nintendo made a sequel to NES Pro Wrestling titled NES Pro Wrestling 2. Pro Wrestling 2 would have 10 total playable wrestlers divided into two federations, 5 in the VWA and 5 in the VWF. There will also be one "un-playable" Universal Champion. Four wrestlers return from NES Pro while 6 new wrestlers are introduced. A Player would choose their wrestler and play through capturing the VWA and VWF titles, then defend the title against 2 random VWA and 2 random VWF wrestlers to earn a Universal Title Shot. The Universal Champion is Great Puma.

These edits will be 8-Bit Style and include the NES Pro Wrestling Move Sets with just a few additions.

NES Pro Wrestling 2 - 1987
VWA
King Slender - VWA Champion
Amazon
Mercury Trinidad
Bear Burago
Iron Fleischer

VWF
Giant Panther - VWF Champion
Starman
Commodor Kircus
Dr. Hate
Warren Peace

Great Puma Universal Champion


NES Pro Wrestling Licensed

The Concept: In 1985 instead of releasing Pro Wrestling as we know it, Nintendo licensed out the game to one of the four major wrestling promotions at that time, WWF, AWA, NWA and WCCW. The following is the game had it been made with each respective Wrestling License. As in NES Pro, there are 6 Playable Wrestlers and one Boss. Since the game has a license there are not multiple belts like the VWA and VWF, only the one heavyweight title. The first 6 wrestlers are playable with the 7th being the boss champion. Just like in Pro Wrestling, you would pick your wrestler and then fight through the roster twice before earning your title shot. If you win the title you defend against everyone once and then the game is over.

These edits will be 8-Bit style and contain the NES Pro Wrestling Move Sets with the only changes being finishers.

SNES Super Pro Wrestling

The Concept: In 1991 Nintendo releases Super Pro Wrestling for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. The game includes 16 Playable Wrestlers, Singles and Tag matches, a 12 Man King of Friday Night Tournament mode and a 6 man Battle Royal. There is also an Unplayable Boss in Singles and Tag mode. All 6 of the original Pro Wrestlers return for their 16-Bit Debut along with 4 from Pro Wrestling 2 and 6 will be new to the series!! VWF and VWA have combined to form VCW.

VCW Singles Mode: You choose your wrestler and go against 12 randomly selected opponents, if you beat everyone you earn a title shot.
VCW Tag Mode: You make your tag team from the available wrestlers and go against 6 tag teams to earn a title shot.
VCW King of Friday Night Tournament Mode: Select 12 wrestlers to compete in the King of Friday Night Tournament.
VCW 6 Man Battle Royal: 6 Wrestlers in the Ring at Once!! Fight to see who will be the baddest on the block!!

These following Edits will be 16-Bit Style and include the NES Pro Wrestling Move Set but more expanded.

reserved for PS3 save

[sonny615]

Not my cup of tea but gotta admire the idea and implementation.
Truly unique and one of a kind.

[DeterminedApathy]

This is actually the save that led me to this board originally. So, thanks for that.

[laceyfan1]

Is there a way of gettiing a print version of your edits?

[Peanut]

I like it! Nice presentation with the pictures. I gotta try this out some time. Are there going to be any updates?

Thank you for the compliment sonny!.

Hahaha wow awesome, you are welcome! The great thing about Fire Pro is that something like this can lead you here, then you discover all sorts of great save packs by a variety of talented and diverse edit makers.

Is there a way of gettiing a print version of your edits?

The formulas for the edits? I don't think so, not that I have availabe, but if someone ever wants to do that with my packs go for it.

Thanks Peanut. I'm not sure on updates with this card. I with Spatterhouse and Karnov I am scraping the barrell as far as what is possible to do a decent version of and still have them be recongizable lol. I'll just say it's possible but not planned, as always with wrestling Card Subject to Change Did you have any specific ideas however?

I am also giving my boxing edits a seperate card too, but I am having trouble with my capture device for screenshots which is causing a delay on that one and I wanted pics for when I put it up, although all the edits are currently available on the other card.

[Peanut]

Did you have any specific ideas however?

You could look at games where the characters mostly fight unarmed. Old-school beat 'em ups might translate well, like Final Fight, Bad Dudes, River City Ransom, etc. Maybe martial-arts games like Karate Champ. There was a Karate Kid NES game, so games based on action/martial arts movies might work too. I'm not asking for these games/genres specifically though. I just mentioned them in case they give you any ideas.

It may not be related to this pack's theme, but did you ever do those Bloodsport edits?

Also, is the save corrupted for anyone else? I tried it twice, and it was corrupted both times. I downloaded it twice, and uncrushed both times. I had to format my card with AR Max to erase the data. To compare, I also tried two random saves from the forum and they both worked perfectly. I hope it's just me, but the save didn't work after my two attempts.

As far as the save goes, if it's corrupted I can check it when I get home, and then re-upload if needed. I'll try that tonight when I get in.

Karate Champ is on the pack. River City Ransom and Bad Dudes I thought about, but I was having trouble making them as accurate as I wanted. River City Ransom guys were too short I remember, and didn't have a lot of variety, same with Renegade. Bad Dudes could be a possibility, I just remember starting on them and then stopping for some reason, it could have been the detail. They could always be revisited though, and I think I had the same issues with Final Fight, if I couldn't do the bulk of them fairly accurate, I would stop. It was the same thing for Saturday Night Slam Masters, although I may revisit that too.

As for Bloodsport, I still want to get that done at some point lol, the hardest part is finding time to sit down with the movie and be able to make the edits accurate. I had a few ideas when it comes to that stuff though. The Bloodsport edits were started on, and I had a few other movie specific edits started, so I may try to make that a project and finish them off.

[DeterminedApathy]

River City Ransom and Renegade are part of a much larger series (Nekketsu Kouha Kunio-kun), so you could always look to the other installments for further inspiration. I've tried making versions of the two main guys myself as well, so I could also just give you suggestions if you wanted.

Very cool, I'll look into that series, any info you want to offer is good with me.

[DeterminedApathy]

I'd have to regather my notes, but here are a few things I remember doing off the top of my head.

For Kunio/Alex, I gave him a running shoulder block and a big haymaker looking punch, and used some manner of power bomb and German suplex for his big grapple signatures. In terms of strikes, I tried to emphasize kicks. One of his signatures should be a rapid kick strike sequence to represent the Dragon Feet, which became one of his trademark moves in later games.

For Riki/Ryan, his grapple signatures were a swinging neckbreaker (usually upgraded to an Ace Crusher or similar for a potential finisher) and a backbreaker. Whereas Kunio is a kicker (actually, he was more like the "balanced" guy), Riki is more of a puncher, and should have a rapid punch sequence for the Stone Hands as well as a good uppercut. He also had a Kitchen Sink-type running knee strike.

...hell, now I'm tempted to boot up Fire Pro and just recreate them myself again.

You know what? You should do it! Dive into that series!

I'm going to look into it too, but if you want to make them I say go for it!

Okay, I just downloaded the save and uncrushed using AR Max and it works for me on my PS2. I'm not sure what the issue could be.

[Peanut]

Yeah, it might be something on my end. Maybe it was a simple error on my part when I tried your save twice. I can't figure it out though since I tried two other saves successfully using the same steps. I'll try it again some time. Hopefully it will work when I try again.

edit: Still didn't work after trying again. The boxing save works fine for me though.

[Timberwolf]

Mat Mania was one of my favorite coin op games..I used to play it for hours and that game is what actually led me to Fire Pro Wrestling as I wanted a home video game that was close to it. So much fun.

[laceyfan1]

Cry for help guys can anyone please type up the wrestling portion of this save?
