THQ WWE Smackdown Vs Raw 2006

Replied Nov 30, 2005

Wait till you had it more than 3 days you will notice more glitches. You cant do all the challenges but then you wouldn't know about that. Give it 5 star rating when you aint even hardly played it? Other people have to read this review to see if they like it. What about when you do a front moonwalk to the corner when you are irish whipped there? Done the possum pin challenges yet? Interupted the stolen taunt yet have you? NO coz you cant. The game sucks unless you get a cheat saved game and save it to your memory card. It's the only way you'll unlock Ted Dibiase. Did you buy a PSP and unlock Roberts and then sing THQ's praises? No you never. The game sucks unless you get a Max Drive. AND YOU SHOULDN@T HAVE TO! THQ have enough money already.

Ok, you got me there. I'm a WWE fan and I enjoy all kinds of wrestling/fighting type games so I'm sort of biased. I guess 4.5 Stars is more like it. I've played the game for almost 15 days so I checked alot of the stuff out.

Yea, that looks pretty cheap gliding in the air like that.

Yes. Yes. The Possum pin challenge is a real pain in the arse but it can be done much easier with TWO players or just two controllers. Same for the interrupt stolen taunt. Have CLEAN P1 stand beside CLEAN P2, P2 steals (P1's) taunt by having a stored finisher with full momentum then HOLD L1 while flicking the analog, wait for taunt to complete then immediately have P1 attack P2 to complete the interrupt stolen taunt challenge.

Use TWO players to complete ALL the challenges then you'll be able to purchase DiBiase in the WWE Shop.

No. Yea, that sucks but who cares. Jake Roberts is a cool legend and all but it's not that big of a deal.

Look, yea I know this game is far from being perfect but so are a ton of other games out there. Games always have bugs that don't get fixed for whatever reasons. It's just the way it is. Unless you're TEAM Ninja. If you don't like this game then why don't you sell it and buy something you might like.

This game is fun for it's create-a-superstar mode. I've made a bunch of celebrities and odd characters. It's hilarious watching some of em in action. If you want some strategy tips for the challenges, check out GameFAQs site.

Yeah you got me there with the if you dont like it leave it attitude but to be honest I would keep the game even if I hated it as I have all the others. Cheers for the tips but I have unlocked everybody now with my Max Drive (9:99). Jake rules as in his entrance he has the snake in a bag over his shoulders. The game is ok but they took the fun out of getting everything in shopzone for me. I used to like doing the challenges aswell but coz of possum and steal a taunt I had to just cheat and unlock them all. Now I have not a bad game. Shouldn't have to though. When I did the interupt a stolen taunt in 2 player it never past the challenge. Needs to be vs com I think.

You cant do all the challenges because of glitches in the game and the Max Drive has more uses than unlocking a wrestler on SVR 06. I'm keeping mine as they rule. Good call though dude on the snake slithering out of the bag, that so would of ruled. His entrance does look ok though. His move set aint that bad but he does have a stupid suplex where he holds them up there that he never could do in real life. It does rule having Roberts n Dibiase though.

You CAN do all the challenges in the game which is the reason why I have Ted DiBiase unlocked and selectable as a legend. Complete ALL the challenges and DiBiase can be purchased in the WWE SHOP (locker room).

Having trouble with interrupt stolen taunt?

Have clean P2 steal clean P1's taunt (stored finisher+full momentum, hold L1 then flick analog.) Immediately have P1 attack P2. Challenge cleared.

Can't perform a possum pin?

This is easier with 2 controllers (2P Mode) or can even be done on the cpu. It's all in the timing as this move has a very small window in which you can tap either L2 or R2 to activate the possum pin. Timing is everything. Store a finisher then after being knocked to the mat by the opponent HOLD the CIRCLE BUTTON to stay down. While holding the circle button, press L2 to counter a srike or press R2 to counter a grapple at the EXACT moment you are striked/grappled. You're stored finisher will go away and the possum pin will activate. This pin is very hard to kick out of.

You can complete all the challenges with 2P Mode (2 controllers) if you want. smitty, don't bash the game for your lack of knowledge. Just because you can't complete it doesn't necessarily mean it can't be done.

I bashed the game as you slide to the corner when irish whipped and you are expected to get a PSP to unlock Roberts. I didn't need to fanny about with the possum pin as the save I downloaded had Dibiase and Roberts. Dont deny that when doing the possum pin that most of the time it takes your stored finisher without doing anything. From the length it took you to reply it suggests that it took you some time. THQ have not ironed out all the creases in the game and most of the net are saying so but you must be right. The Roberts thing IS a skank and the AI think IS a joke. You even said. Dont get over happy just because you spent 2 weeks trying to pull off the possum pin and got it done once or twice. We all got it done but didn't run to our keyboards and attempt to tell someone who might care. Tell me when you got jake. The possum pin is still too tricky to pull off and not worth the effort it takes. In the next game it will work properly and you wont lose your stored finisher when it doesn't happen as THIS IS A GLITCH! Lack of knowledge? Dont make me laugh. Talk about knowledge when you gave the game 5 stars after only having it 3 days. THE GAME HAS MANY GLITCHES to be honest.

lmfao. thats a good one, smitty. You think just because I haven't posted for 2 weeks it automatically means i've been furiously practicing day and night to master the possum pin? Pulled off the possum pin once or twice? Is that what happened to you? The reason why you stored finisher is taken away without activating the possum pin is because you got pwned by your opponent. You pressed L2/R2 too early or too late which is why your stored finisher went away without the possum pin. The time frame for pressing the correct button sucks...have to almost predict what attack while lying there. I not going to get Jake. All his moves are in the create-a-moveset mode which you can assign to a CAS character. No PSP? No Jake. Who cares? You paid for someone's saved game aka MAXdrive cause you couldn't do it yourself with 2 controllers. you got pwned. Yea I gave it 5 stars after having the game for only 3 days but if you would read my other post in response to your post I said it actually deserved 4.5 stars. You, on the other hand gave the gave 1 star? Do you always keep 1 star games in your collection? Why don't you tell the fans what it's like to get your teeth whitened, girlpants.

Quality to have Owen Hart but what took them so long? Jeff hard as a legend? Pathetic. He's been signed so he'll be back by time the games out but maybe with differences that will make the new game outdated. Much as Jeff's skills and heart were highly acclaimed, what kind of a role model is somebody who was asked to leave due to over doing it with cocaine? Umaga? Good but they should put Rosie in aswell then you will have both members of 3 minute warning. I just hope this time they put Mr Perfect and a proper British Bulldog in from like 1990 - 1992 when he was at his best. And his proper music this time. And with the dreadlocks and white trunks although I would settle for the waist to boot Union Jack ones. (sorry but they really got Davey Boy wrong last time) All the best legends other than Owen were around in 1990 - 1992 and any veterain wrestling fan knows it! And if they dont put Eathquake in this year I wont be happy as I always have to create him and now that he's dead they should give him the respect he deserves. And you should get Typhoon with alternate costume as Tug Boat as the move set is the same.

This particular challenge seems to be an issue with many people, but it isn't impossible. Here's how I did it.

Firstly, go to OPTIONS/CUSTOM AI SETTINGS/FREQUENCY OF COMS USAGE and set the STEALING A FINISHING MOVE RATE to maximum. This will ensure the AI is in a position to steal your taunt regularly. I also turned MOMENTUM RATE TAUNTS up in GAME BALANCE, although I don't think that helped.

Choose a character with some fairly unique taunts so that you can easily recognise when they are stolen. I chose HULK HOGAN to play as and ROB VAN DAM as my opponent because I noticed in previous matches that he seems to taunt a lot.

Here's the trick... beat up your opponent a little bit and then get out of the ring. Perform several taunts, getting back in and out of the ring when the count gets near 10 (or turn RING OUT off in the match rules). With any luck your opponent will also perform taunts, his momentum meter will fill up and he'll store a finisher. Taunt some more and watch out because pretty soon he *should* steal one of your taunts at which point you need to leap in the ring and smack him, completing the challenge.

You'll know if it worked because it'll tell you on screen.

This worked for me and I had the challenge completed less than 3 minutes into the match. Good luck!
