[KEYU]

UPLOADED:
Wrestlers: Alyx Avery, Aurora, Blake Asher, Madison Hale
Shows: Surge, Fury, Takedown, Dead End


Hey yall. Another year another thread. Everything is still a WIP. I'll try to get at least a few uploaded with-in the next couple of weeks but my free time has fallen completely off of a cliff in the last year or so. Hopefully the next few patches fix up all the weird creation suite bugs like with tattoos and face textures.
Time for the good ol' info copy and paste

Name: "The Infamous" Keyu
Status: WIP
Overall: ??
Theme: Mobb Deep- Shook Ones Pt. II
Signature: Hollow Point Elbow (Pump Forearm and other elbow smash/forearm moves)
Finisher:  Bullet Biter(Kamigoye)
Information: Cocky, foul-mouthed, heavyweight brawler/striker. Wears down opponents with hard strikes and cheap shots before dropping them on their heads or going for a knockout blow.  Inspired by Stone Cold, KENTA, Kawada, Shibata, Muay Thai/Bokator. Recently incorporated powerhouse elements and added a bunch of uranages, and rough looking suplexes. Not a technical marvel by any means, I purposefully choose moves that look simple to do and also look kinda unsafe lmao. Leader of Chimera which has more of a MMA Fight Team/Training Club/Wrestling school dynamic than a close knit tag team type of faction.

Tattoos are looking real rough this year(shoulder tat is barely visible) but I submitted a help ticket to 2K and they've been following up with me

 

Name: Alyx Avery
Status: Uploaded
Overall: 86
Theme: Two Door Cinema Club - Undercover Martyn
Finisher:  Vibe Check(Running Jump Superkick)/Air Avery(Diving Double Foot Stomp)
Information:  Indie prospect with a lot of promise. Fan favorite for her optimism and attitude as well as some outstanding underdog performances but her career so far has been marked by a lot of big match losses. Joining Chimera has helped her find some of her killer instinct, and more success in the ring. Personality wise still super positive/cheery even after joining the mainly heel Chimera. I think having a pure babyface faction member annoying heel members with their optimism sounds hilarious. Not the biggest competitor but she'll throw 100%(and 100% of her bodyweight) at you. Kick heavy moveset with lots of sentons, arm targeting moves and some armbars thrown in.  Handpicked by Keyu to join Chimera after seeing her connection to the crowd and seeing a prime opportunity to push a new women's line of Chimera branded apparel.

 

Name: "The Crimson Queen" Madison Hale
Status: Uploaded
Overall: 88
Theme: Deftones - My Own Summer (Shove It)
Signature: Crimson Crush (Trick Knee and Ripcord V-Trigger)
Finisher: Crimson Flowsion (Ireland Call)
Information: Former death match aficionado (hence the name Crimson Queen) turned into an expert all-arounder. Speed and finesse are the name of her game but she's not afraid to take the fight to the most extreme and hardcore of them. She was the Ace of the LAW promotion when I was messing around in Universe mode. Had tested out a few more colors for attire 2 but probably sticking with orange

 

Name: Blake Asher (placeholder name)
Status: Uploaded
Overall: 84
Theme: Heads Will Roll Remix
Signature: Koppou Kick variations
Finisher: Cloud 9 (Spiral Tap), High Roller (Fisherman Neckbreaker)
Information: Babyface daredevil highflyer. Inspired by the likes of Jeff Hardy and Lita.

 

Name: Iori Matsuda
Status: WIP
Overall: 86
Theme: ???
Signature: ???
Finisher: Black Phoenix (Inverted Phoenix Splash)
Information: Daredevil high flyer but with more of a hardcore/extreme rules kind of edge
 

Name: Carrie Hawthorne
Status: WIP
Overall: 86
Theme: ???
Signature: Glass Slipper (Pump Big Boot)
Finisher: Champagne Kiss (Reverse STO DDT)
Information: An heir to the same prestigious wrestling family. She is Chris Hawthorne's much more level-headed younger sister. Technical/submission based wrestler, very by the books and by the rules type of wrestler.  Probably going to move her to more of a stuck up snobby type gimmick

Name: "Miss Fortune/Lady Luck" Dahlia
Status: WIP
Overall: 87
Theme: VIOLENT VIRA - Saccharine
Signature: Rabbit's Foot (Corner Big Boot), Salem Scythe (Scottish Sickle)
Finisher: Witching Hour (Dragon Sleeper w/ body scissor)
Information: Predatory technician who enjoys mind games and likes to prey on opponent's superstitions prior to matches to gain an advantage in the ring. Flips a coin prior to the match to see if she'll let go of the submission or not if the opponent taps.


Name: Aurora
Status: Uploaded
Overall: 87
Theme: 
Signature: Spinning Backfist
Finisher: Northern Lights Bomb (that's why I named her Aurora lmaoo)
Information: American born wrestler who cut her teeth and honed her skills in the Joshi scene


Name: "The Game Changer" Caleb Rivera
Status: WIP
Overall: 86
Theme: Mega Man X- Spark Mandrill theme
Finisher: Game Changer (Revolution Knee)
Information: Young talent with a lot of promise but lacking in actual match and life experience. After being turned on by his former tag partner(Isaiah Saint) and manager he's currently finding more of his killer instinct as "The Game Changer". Less high of a high flyer than he used to be he still wows fan with his fast paced match style. Trying to do a bit of an "Ospreay becoming a heavyweight" type thing with him, still lots of impressive flying moves but a more grounded and serious style than before. I also wanted his finisher and nickname to be The Game Changer because of Okada and the Rainmaker. Eventually down the line I'm gonna try and make him one of those NJPW/AJPW/NOAH big match main eventer jackets but that's not gonna be for a while. Also I'm really attached to the Mega Man sprite I made for him because that mess took forever lol.

The tights are a place holder until I actually play MyRise and get the ones without the AJ Styles logos lmaooo


Name: "The Chosen One" Chris Hawthorne
Status: WIP
Overall: 85
Finisher: Royal Decree (Fireman's Carry Side Slam)
Information: Heir to a prestigious wrestling family. Wrestling style is more of a throwback/traditional North American style wrestler. Standard suplexes, body slams, irish whip back body drops, etc. Became an arrogant heel after he got a big contract with WWE/NXT. Headcanon'd that he did a ROH Summer of Punk type thing. 


Name: "Dragonfly" Jin Kamiya
Status: WIP
Overall: 87
Signature: Tonbo-Giri (Torpedo Moscow)
Finisher: Wing Ripper (Stormbreaker) Dragonfly Lock(Cattle Mutilation)
Information: Original Japanese wrestler. He used to be super fast paced but slowed down into a more submission oriented style after a knee injury and from putting on a bunch of muscle and wanting to "graduate" from Jr. Heavweight into a Heavyweight. Still occasionally uses high flying moves but I toned them down in his AI sliders. Fairly standard puroresu moveset for the most part but has traces of some of my favorite Jr. Heavyweights from when I was big into NOAH and NJPW. 

 

Heavy WIP CAWs:
No solid identity or anything yet, just playing around with faces and placeholder attires and stuff. Don't know if they're gonna become fully realized or not

Name: ???
Information: Carrie Hawthorne's tag partner maybe? Switching around hairs, I'll update Carrie's picture later but I switched her back to short hair like I uploaded her with in 2K24

[CROSS-Out]

Always glad to see your work man, broken-ass game or not. Keyu is a fixture of my gameplay

[Almost Easy]

I had Alyx Avery last year, so I'll be grabbing her again. Blake Larkin looks awesome too.

[HugoCoorp]

Oh yeah ! The goat is back  

[Hip Hop Joe]

Madison Hale was the runner up in the Jackpot rumble.

[Hip Hop Joe]

*makes note to change your theme music.*

Much appreciated all of  y'all.  Free time's been scarce but I've actually been watching wrestling here and there again so the itch is back lmaoo

I've seen she's had a pretty good showing recently, strong in that IC title scene. Now that she's paid her dues for a year maybe she'll capture some gold 

 

 

Updated page 1 with some extra pictures and with WIP Iori Matsuda

[Hip Hop Joe]

I hope so. She's come close to the hardcore and Intercontinental since she's been here.

[dre2k]

are these caws only available for ps5??

 

[KEYU]

Update with some more WIP CAWs. Caleb Rivera is on hold because his tights are locked behind MyRise

I am on current gen. Hopefully an easy way of porting to the PS4/X1/PC community creations pops up

[Hip Hop Joe]

Whaaaaaat. The ones he always wears?

Yeah 2K is hoe-ing me this year lmaoo. Caleb Rivera's tights and Kid Calavera's mask are locked behind MyRise

[Hip Hop Joe]

Thats ridiculous.  2k doing the most

[Almost Easy]

Any ideas on when you may upload to CC? I'm after some of your female CAWs

[KEYU]

Working on some brand new CAWs and added them to the first post. Don't know if they'll become "complete" or not. Let me know what you think or if you have gimmick ideas

I was gonna wait on a patch to fix face textures, face morphing and the tattoo opacity stuff but if one doesn't come up I'll try to have a handful uploaded by like Sunday

[Hip Hop Joe]

Those 2 new girls you got could make for a nice little faction with Carrie.

[KEYU]

Named and updated Aurora, gave her an entrance attire. There's another pair of boots I liked a lot better but with the current image mapping issues, the custom kick pads looked bad on them.

I'm definitely gonna put that first one with Carrie. Aurora I might make a Japanese rival for (Iori is more like a deathmatch type wrestler)

[KEYU]

Updated Carrie's picture with short hair. Hammering out movesets, should have at least a couple of CAWs uploaded by Sunday evening

Brand-free arenas/shows have been uploaded. For anyone who needs a show for their custom promotion. Left the turnbuckle pads blank for you to put whatever promotion logo you want on them

[Hip Hop Joe]

Sweet, good to know. 

[KEYU]

Alyx, Aurora, Blake, and Madison Hale are uploaded. If you download them please let me know how they play either player controlled or AI controlled. I tried to make their movesets flow well and I was messing with the new AI options for individual moves which I think is a really cool addition.

Hoping they fix the image opacity stuff next, otherwise I'll just have to mess with the transparency values and whatever of Keyu's tattoos so I can get him up on CC because this is sad lmaoo

Double post

Double post

I got Blake, Alyx and Aurora. Not played with them yet, but they are some good looking CAWs and going straight into my Universe Roster for whenever I can start that mode.

[Hip Hop Joe]

Oh no not the tattoos. 

Alyx and Hale look great.  Reputation then in a triple threat off stream and they seemed to behave right. Madison was letting that trickshot fly. Alyx was going off outside of the ring.

Appreciate it as always. Hope they make some waves in yalls Universe modes.
Yeah its wild, these same tattoos have been working fine since 2K16 lmaoo.


Caleb Rivera, Chris Hawthorne and Jin Kamiya added to page 1. I still need to unlock Caleb Rivera's tights from MyRise(I still need to actually start MyRise lmaoo). I'll tweak them more later and then do stuff like movesets and entrances.
