There needs to be some fair way of doing things. If they're gonna make reversal un-reversable, then there need to be 2 reversal buttons, or something where the guy has to guess what you're going to do to reverse it. In Smackdown 3 (I think) there was one button to reverse grapples AND strikes, and so all you did was mash the shit out of the reverse button and you'd likely beat anything that your opponent could throw at you.
Weak.
If they want this to be taken seriously online, they have to balance it.
i drink it up!
DoR is the best. It needs more depth in its reversal system (it should be possible to reverse maybe 3 or 4 deep per move), but it takes skill and perception to get better at the game. Smackdowns reversal system has always been weak, but the whole thing is a mute point when enemies are covering you after a headlock or punch. It's entirely unacceptable for someone to lose a match to a headlock or punch to the head.

They still haven't put in a small package counter for a figure four, dangit. I've had DoR four way matches for the past couple of days, and they show off just how fantastic that game engine is. Lots of action, lots of wrestling, hard to beat.

Too Cool for Top 10 Lists
IGN released more vids, this time featuring Flair (who has his first WWF theme) facing Orton (who has some remix of his existing theme). The vids show off some nice counter wrestling, but when that isn't shown, it ain't a pretty sight, as the action just looks wooden.

In the Flair/Orton video I got sick of them yelling about counters after about the 2nd time.
After more reading it seems that there is a seperate button for reversing grapples and strikes, so that's a good thing. It still sounds like they're gonna make it too easy to reverse grapples though.

Booker T doesn't have hair like that...... unless he got a haircut in the future.
RE: WCW - We want our Booker T back....
I can't believe Scotty still has a job. If it wasn't for the cancer, he probably woulda got fired along with Nidia, Rodney, and all of the others a few months ago.
What happened to Spikes goatee?
Why doesn't Val have the shaved head?
Why do Lita AND Nidia both look like Ivory?
Why are Jazz and Nidia even in the game? If they're gonna have fired wrestlers on the roster, I'd rather have Gail than Nidia.
Where the fuck is Snitzky? (I KNOW it's not his fault that he's not in the game!)
And Luther Reigns?
And Paul Heyman?
And Heidenriech?
And Jindrak?
La Resistance?
Torrie Wilson?
Kenzo Suzuki?
Really, I'm glad that Garrison Cade is in, and I don't really have a problem with Val being in, but La Resistance have been tag champs for like, ever. Luther Reigns has been a major part of Smackdown storylines for quite a while now (ever since Angle was GM). Torrie Wilson seems like an odd choice to exclude, since she's almost always in these things. And really, FUCK Eugene.
