"A couple thousand stiches later, he's still alive!"

[AirSabu]

Here's my 2nd moveset ever and believe me folks, this game doesnt help sabu in anyway because there is nothing, pretty much, that he does in real life, that you can manipulate on this game, its sad really.
Did this movesets with 2 matches in the new ecw, 4 matches in the old ecw and over 5 matches he had in japan. He really doesnt do a whole lot of grapple moves but i found enough to get by.
PEOPLE WITH HACKING DEVICES CAN DO THE WHOLE MOVESET, PEOPLE WITHOUT ARE, WELL, SCREWED.

If i missed anything that should be here, provide me the move and i'll look into it.

No Hurracanrana? Not even the Super Hurracanrana? Damn, you NEED at least one for Sabu!

[AirSabu]

Like i said, the matches that i watched just recently today, i didnt see 1 hurracurana at all. I only put stuff i see in the videos i sit down with to make the moveset with, whether he did the move on another tape i didnt see, as long as i didnt see it right then, i will not put it.

[Webi]

OK, then check out some of his newer TNA and (WWE-)ECW stuff and I guarantee you'll see a Super Hurracanrana. And for a normal one, just watch his famous Barbed Wire Match against Terry Funk, he does it quite at the beginning.

[EvolutionIV]

^^ If you watch ECW you see him do a lot of Ranas, Super Rana and Springboard Ranas.. I was watching a few matches from Best of RVD during '98 thru '00 and Sabu's teaming with him on quite a bit of the matches and he did a massive amount of Ranas and leg drops as well.

I gave him the Leg Lariat Doug Basham does as it looks close to the double leg lariat he always does.

He also has done the Fujiwara Armbar quite a bit in ECW(the Orignal ECW, not WWECW).

Finishers:
Camel clutch 4(i think its the best one to use if it only weren't for the taunt before)
Lionsault pin(for his triple jump moonsault)[/quote]

if you put in camel clutch 4 you can't do the moonsault, even when you press directional buttons, i've tried it before

[AirSabu]

Well with the lionsault pin, you have to have him lying face up and have him close to the center and you should be able to do it, i have done it many of times.

[Ricasho/ Mccc]

I think this is my second time saying this, don't double post. People will view your topics if the want to.

[AirSabu]

I bumped it after a week had past.

[Ricasho/ Mccc]

You still do not double post.

[AirSabu]

Ok thats cool.

[ThreeG]

[indent]Sorry Ric, but you're wrong.
[quote][b]Topic Bumping[/b]
Please do not bring back old/dead topics, and do not bump your own topics multiple times a day. If you have posted a question, be patient and someone will eventually answer it.[/quote]
They can bump their own topic, even if its means it will be a double post - as long as its not on the same day.

Don't worry, I've done the same mistake before. No biggie. [/indent]

[Ricasho/ Mccc]

FArt cakes, I alwasy mess up on that. I confused him with Bawadaita.

My bad AirSabu.

[AirSabu]

Eh doesnt matter, its all good. EVERYONE makes mistakes.

[EvolutionIV]

No dirty moves? I mainly have a majority of my ECW guys set to DIRTY 'cause they did a lot of low blows+Reverse/Inverted Atomic Drop.

If they have the School Boy into a Scissored Leg Lock(I can't recall if they do), would be a good suggestion for replacing any move others don't like.

Lately I've put my CAW making aside and have been working on movesets especially ECW from '94 to '01 is how much resoure I have on ECW.

[AirSabu]

This is a moveset for his WHOLE carrer up to 04 in tna. If you really looks at this moveset i made, you can see that i basically used all of his japan matches for it. God he was so good in japan, and not for his hardcore but for both that and wrestling skill. He isnt a typical wrestler though, sure he can throw in a few "wrestling" moves, but hes mainly a strike and drop guy and thats the main reason hes a legend to me. He truely didnt do many dirty moves from what i saw in the matches that i got however. I used clean set for the fact that he had alot of the moves he has done.

[EvolutionIV]

I was just saying maybe give him Dirty moves so people have a variety, if they wanna go the Heel route they can slap on the Dirty moves or if they want to be Facing it up, then they can choose to use the Clean.

It's cool if you don't want to, just a suggestion.

I figured it would be a lot better since if you write down moves and you come across some Heel tactics why not write 'em down and maybe put a Dirty Category together as well as a Clean one.

That's all I'm sayin'

[AirSabu]

No no, i agree with you completly. When he was in ecw in the earlier type of days, he was a great dirty tactics guy. I think i will go and look at a few matches in 94-96 and fill in dirty catagory to leave it for a heel moveset.

Thanks for the suggestion.

No Problem.

Bump, just would like a few more rates and suggestions.
