Fastest...Wrestler...EVER! (Running out of breath LOL)

[xirtamehtsitahw]

Zoroark's philosophy: come at the opponent from seemingly all sides at once, not giving them room to breathe or time to even blink. Yes, the Legend-difficulty AI is pretty tough, but even its cheapest tactics can't stand up against the one-Pokemon blitzkrieg that is Zoroark.

 

I have a tag team consisting of two Zoroark (one normal, the other Shiny), and they rather easily blitzed the former tag-team champions, the Usos, in a ladder match, in a matter of around THREE MINUTES!

 

The name of the two-Zoroark tag team: Smoke & Mirrors. That's also the name of their theme song (Cody Rhodes' original theme).

 

I chose Zoroark as the new representative Pokemon "wrestler" on my game, due to it being fairly easy to create a decent lookalike of him using the game's creation engine. Plus, his diminutive stature places him firmly within the cruiserweight weight class, making him rather small and light, but extremely agile, and capable of blitzing opponents twice his size (such as Big Show).

 

The whole "Smoke & Mirrors" persona is a perfect fit for Zoroark, considering he's the Illusion Fox Pokemon.

 

And, the shiny version of Zoroark simply swaps the fox's normal red mane and claws for blue--a very easy thing to change in the creation engine.

 

Zoroark also has one of the coolest cries ever created for Pokemon, sounding something like a laser blast crossed with a bobcat growl. 'Nuff said.

 

UPDATE: found a way to squeeze a few more details onto my two Zoroark--use that old layer-overwrite trick I talked about a while back, to add the eye accents, nostril slits and the chest "ruff" (actually just a short top colored black). Zoroark (and his shiny cousin) are now near-perfect renditions of the actual fifth-generation Pokemon.

 

Whatever you do, don't stand in his way...he'll run you over--from all directions at once! Ow...squared.

My list of CAWs that I have created over the years is quite long, and does contain a few humans, but mostly fantasy characters. I've developed methods for creating nearly perfect likenesses of these characters through actual YEARS of gradual tweaking and refining. Zoroark was just one of my latest experiments in creating a character I had never created before.

 

The result was quite good, but the problem lies with Zoroark's color scheme, rather than the moveset I gave him or his persona. His color scheme is just too...drab overall. Dark gray, black and red don't convey a very colorful image, in my opinion.

 

My best creation would most likely be Mewtwo, due to my constant reinventing, refining and tweaking his general appearance on my game. I've rebuilt Mewtwo probably close to 100 times during the time SmackDown 2011 has been around, and many more times prior to that.

 

However, the skills and tricks I've discovered and developed during that time allowed me to create ever more accurate versions of Mewtwo. The current version has a near perfect recreation of Mewtwo's actual bodily curvature and proportions. Even his head is shaped correctly. I could even give him a rudimentary second "neck", by using certain hairstyles featuring ponytails. His tail can be emulated by creating a silhouette of it on his back (there are Sanskrit symbols amongst the logo choices which are very suggestive of the shape of a tail).

 

I even went as far as giving Mewtwo his more updated color scheme (pale gray and purple-gray, as opposed to the "classic" white and purple). His horns can be nearly perfectly replicated by using a particular pair of horns available in the "horns" menu (they look like little calf's horns). Even his slitted nostrils, three-fingered hands, and two-toed feet can be accurately represented!

 

Yes, I have a LOT of time on my hands, so why not try to build a nearly exact, 1:1 replica of the most powerful Pokemon ever created?

 

EDIT: Decided to go with the more "traditional" white-and-purple color scheme, for the simple reason that it is "easier" to get everything to match perfectly. I may post pics of the new PERFECT Mewtwo soon.

I don't really see the point of pokemon on a wrestling game and you're quite hyped for this lol

[maskedmaniac]

Pictures of all this would be quite helpful to see what exactly you are talking about.

In the Pokemon universe, Mewtwo is an unstoppable wrecking machine, a "tank", if you will, capable of relatively easily mowing down entire six-Pokemon teams on his own. He's pretty much the same on my game--hardly anyone gives him trouble...not even Undertaker, despite the fact that I've "handicapped" Mewtwo with an overall of only 91, while I left Taker's at 98.

 

I've also come up with a pretty good tagline for Mewtwo:

 

"Many have bowed the knee to Triple H as King of Kings...but Triple H himself has been dethroned...by a god."

 

It's only a matter of time before 'Two captures both RAW titles (Midna, the Twilight Imp, currently holds the other one). He already holds the tag titles alongside Candis the Giant Mew (Deviantart images of the same were the inspiration for her creation).

 

I will provide pics of these characters I've created, so you can all see for yourselves what all the tips and tricks I've learned for pushing the CAW engine's envelope farther than even THQ and Yukes could've imagined...
