King of Colosseum(Ps2)- Stupid Question

My friend recently picked this up for me and I was curious, how do you escape from a pin? I usually stick to the Fire Pro series as far as Puroresu games go and mashing on the buttons isn't good(One of the things I like about the series). So, are you supposed to mash in KoC? I tried checking FAQs but they didn't really cover this, I guess because it is so basic. I really feel like an ass asking this, but I want to get as much enjoyment out of this game as possible.

So, for anyone who has played this game, how do you excape from pins and is there anyway to make your wrestler get up quicker after he is knocked to the ground. Thanks in advance.

I always just roll on the D-pad and tap X.

-Tech

Tap it fast or slow? I keep getting my ass kicked. I really suck at this game. I've still gotta get the grapple system down. Thanks.

In firepro you just hold X and spin the d pad. Try that.

Korly,
Yeah, that's what I tried out originally but it didn't *seem* to work. Maybe I was just beat down more than I thought? I just wanted to make sure I was doing it right. Of course, Fire Pro Z just arrived so KoC is now on the backburner.

Yeah, I do the tapping X & dpad thing, too. Seems to work.

I just got FPZ and it pales in comparison to KOC. I am sad.

I just press all of the buttons like a madman. Yes, I know what you're thinking: pure skill.

I strongly dislike this game, though. I had to punch that in.

Well, I hope "pressing all of the buttons like a madman" is not the proper way to do it. Button mashing to escape pins/holds is one of the lamest things ever. I've heard from more than one source that holding X and twirling the Dpad is the proper way, so I'll assume that's it.

As far as FPZ paleing in comparasion to KoC, I'd have to disagree(at this point in time anyway.) Though, I am saddened at the thought that this is to be the final game in the series. Not exactly going out with a bang. :-( Could've been better, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't addicted...

KoC is annoyingly boring. Reversing is so easy I could do it all day. Maybe you'll get a bodyslam here and there! But then you'll stop to take an injesting 10 seconds of O2.

I thought the roster was impressive, and the game's basic system was awesome, but it really does seem half baked.

Oh and I am really really hurt you said my approach was lame, man. I mean, I really think you owe me an apology.

How would you like it if I called your avatar lame, or your hair-do lame? Or maybe even the way you wear your hat lame?! Yeah, that's what I thought man, it doesn't feel to good, does it?

Andrew, are you stoned or something?

The big thing to me is that FPZ's movesets seem Smackdown sized after playing KOC. It took me a long time to get into KOC, but now that I get it I don't want to play any other wrestling game. While I have had fun messing around with FPZ it feels a bit half assed, and in some ways almost like a step back from FPD. And I hate not being able to turnoff the music in Victory Road. Ugh.

Price check on the pickle lodged in Jeremy's ass.... price check on the pickle lodged in Jeremy's ass.

Relax, I'm only kidding and it's abundantly clear to anybody who doesn't suffer from some sort of comprehension disease.

Oh, and, only if you're buying!

Andrew,
I am truly sorry. :-D

Rummy,
No arguments here. FPZ does seem a bit half assed and not nessecarily the end I had envisioned, but I am still having a great time with it. I'd say FPZ is to FPD as FPS was. In other words, the game has some things over D that make it worth playing, but D is the superior game overall. That;s how I feel anyway. As far as KoC goes, well, I just prefer the gameplay of Fire Pro. I'm not really fond of having to press a button to grapple. However, I have a feeling that once I learn the intricasies of the game that I will have a blast with it.

No problem, I didn't take offense anyway. I just find it funny how geeky Jeremy can act sometimes. ;)

When does FPZ come out anyway? I don't see the need to buy it besides an updated roster I'll have to translate anyway... FPD had downloadable moves, atleast.

The one major flaw I find with KoC is the reversal system. When I reverse YOUR move, or you reverse one of MY moves, I shouldn't be allowed to easily reverse the move. The chances of me countering once again after 5 or so reversals, back and forth, should be immediatly reduced. Instead it's all to easy to have something exciting going and *tap* there it goes. I also find some of the controls a little bit unintuitive...

Spike shouldn't stay in the 3D realm, 2D is their haven.

FPZ is out now. Came out last week. ;)

Shows how compelled I am to it, huh?

I used to run WrestlingGames.com as well, hehe. I guess i'm just too far out of the loop and couldn't care less.
