"...From Atlanta, Geor...Ah forget it! It's Chris Benoit"

[AirSabu]

Ah yes, the crippler crossface, the man with god knows how many teeth left, the ruthless agressor, mr. chris benoit. God this guy has at least 3 match of the year candidates every single year. He makes you a star by beating your ass pretty much. This guy really wasnt hard to do and look ma, not that many hacks, well if you count 6 not much which i personally do.
Enjoy...

Instead of Eddie 3 use Eddie 2 because it does the chest pounding then points to the sky kind of like pointing to Eddie in heaven which Benoit has done a couple of times.

I never see him do elbows, the closest to him doing an elbow is his scraping forearm like punches but that's Benoit Punches so I'd replace Womans Elbow Smash with Front Dropkick 1 or Dropkick 2 or hell put both in their because he does both!

Replace Arm Wringer Flip with Scoop Slam 5 because he needs a scoop slam in their!

The grapple choices are good but my set has a power grapple, I can't recall the moves now but it has Powerbomb 10 in there, Backbreaker 10 and 3 other moves I can't remember, so I'd simply reccomend taking a look at the power grapple and see what you think!

In ground grapples I would replace Armbar 7 with Necklock, replace Elbow Drop Combo with Doug Leg Lock and replace Sharpshooter with Stomp To Leg

In diving strike attacks I can see you used Diving Spear as a replacement for his flying shoulder tackle but instead of Double Axe Handle 3 I'd use Front Dropkick 3 or even Missile Dropkick because it has the connect animation.

Put Diving Headbutt 3x in diving down attacks because he NEVER finishes off opponents with the Diving Headbutt, it's a move he does in the middle of matches.

I'd use Shoulder Block 1 instead of 2 in dash strikes

and finally I'd replace Diving Headbutt in Speicals with Sharpshooter 1, he always finishes off people with the crippler crossface but time to time he makes people tap with the Sharpshooter so it's eaily the wisest move to use.

Those suggestions will greatly sharpen what's already a very good set!

[AirSabu]

You had some great ideas. I only sat down with about 5 full matches that were recently in 2005 and 2006 and didnt really see those things from him but i clearly remember a couple of those things. I chosse the pointing to the sky eddie taunt and the shaking taunt so it has both already, i saw him do something very very similar to the woman's elbow smash and it already had benoit punches in combination attack and didnt want to reapeat them, i thought that 2 technical sets worked very well with him and i did check out the power set but it didnt really work to what i was going for, i've seen him do the arm bar a couple of times like that when he was attemping to do the crossface but couldnt so he just turned it into an armbar, your right about the finisher but i just put in diving headbutt because its the only thing he really ever sets up for the crossface but the sharpshooter i remember very well a couple people tapping out to and i personally hate the shoulder block 1 for benoit.

So ya thanks for the great suggestions.

Toothless Agression

[AirSabu]

Uh huh, whats your point? I meant ruthless agressor, not toothless agression.

Go spam in wrestling caws, not movesets.

[Kryptonite Krunch]

Very accurate set,Sharpshooter 1 looks best to me,cause the animation fits Benoit perfectly.
