As such, most Wrestler's movesets will be altered during the playthrough of the S-1 Division. Tip: since most grapples are considered illegal under S-1 rules, allow the computer to throw you. In most cases, the computer opponent will disqualify itself in a matter of seconds! 43. Chanpueg Kiatsongrit ------------------------------------ 44.

Regular Wrestling styles also retain most of their original movesets. The easiest way to make an opponent lose points is to keep them close to the ropes and continue to use submission holds once the opponent is thrown to the ground. With enough "escapes" the opponent will lose the match under a "knockout". 51. Yoji Anjoh ------------------------------------ 52. Kazuo Yamazaki ------------------------------------ 53.

Additional moves can be unlocked by completing the Circuit and Challenge divisions of World War mode. Every page contains a different category of moves each Wrestler has at their disposal and the buttons used to perform each move. To change a move or the buttons uses to perform the move, simply hover the cursor over the move and press A. A new screen will then appear displaying a list of available moves that can be used instead. The layout for this page is: [Next page] [Previous page] [OK - confirm changes] [Exit & don't save] [Ok] should only be selected once the player is satisfied with their Created Wrestler's moveset and would like to finish customizing. __________________________________________________ EDIT mode After selecting the OK option , the player is then asked to choose the Created Wrestler's signature and finishing moves. It is also possible to name the created Wrestler's finisher in this section. It is also possible for a Created Wrestler to select the same move for a Trademark and Finisher. The options for this screen are: [Trademark]: a Wrestler's signature move [Finisher]: a Wrestler's finishing move ________________________________________ | | | | | Move list | | | |________________________________________| [Next] [Back] [OK] [Done] [Name Finisher] Selecting the "Name Finisher" option will bring the player to a new screen where the player can write out the name of the finisher. The layout for this screen is the same as the Wrestler name input screen. __________________________________________________ EDIT mode ========= Behavior: ========= Adjust how the Wrestler will act when controlled by the computer. Each of the Created Wrestler's characteristics are organized into the following sections: ____________ _________ | | | | | Standing | | Attacks | |------------| |---------| | Dazed | | OK | |------------| |---------| | Running | | Cancel | |------------| |_________| | Diagonal | |------------| | VS Running | |------------| | On post | |------------| | Down | |____________| When selecting any of the first 7 options, a new screen will open displaying: ____________ | OK | Exit | |_____|______| | Normal 1 | ______ |____________| | 1 | | Angry 1 | |------| |____________| | 2 | | Normal 2 | |------| |____________| | 3 | |------| | 4 | |______| The four bars on the right feature these options: "Dscrtn" (Discretion - Lowest ratio) "Technq" (Technical - Second lowest ratio) "Preced" (Precedent - Average ratio) "Strong" (Highest ratio) As the ratio of each option is adjusted the percentage is shown for each corresponding button or action required at the bottom of the screen. With every section, the buttons required or situations needed are varied: ________________________________________ | | | | ***** | **%| |------------|---------------------------| | ***** | **%| |------------|---------------------------| | ***** | **%| |____________|___________________________| Choosing the 8th option [Attacks] brings up the most detailed menu: Front Grapple Mat ___________ __________ | | | | | Normal 1 | | Normal 1 | |-----------| |----------| | Angry 1 | | Angry 1 | |-----------| |----------| | Normal 2 | | Normal 2 | |-----------| |----------| | Angry 2 | | Angry 2 | |___________| |__________| Back Grapple ____________ ________ | | | OK | | Normal 1 | |________| |------------| | Angry 1 | |------------| | Normal 2 | |------------| | Angry 2 | |____________| I believe "Normal" 1 and 2 represent moves performed with B or A buttons while "Angry " moves are performed with the same buttons after "Rage mode" has been activated. Upon choosing one of the above options, a new screen is then displayed showing the button layout: (Y) [**] (A) [**] (Y) + Up [**] (A) + Up [**] (Y) + Left/Right [**] (A) + Left/Right [**] (Y) + Down [**] (A) + Down [**] (B) [**] (X) + Up,down,left,right [**] (B) + Up [**] (X) + All diagonals [**] (B) + Left/Right [**] (B) + Down [**] The number next to each button input represents the percentage of which the Created Wrestler is most likely to use each move. Each section can be adjusted with up to 100 points. The total number of points which can be adjusted in this section is 100. Selecting [OK] will confirm changes while choosing [Exit] will cancel any changes. ======================================================== ******THE WRESTLERS****** ======================================================== In order of appearance on the character selection screen.

************************
******COLUMN 13: EDIT*** 
************************

This Column is purely for Created Wrestlers that have
been created. The player can save up to 12 created
Wrestlers here.





========================================================

******SECRETS, TIPS, AND TRICKS******

========================================================


========================
* Unlock Challenge mode:
========================

Successfully earn a trophy in all nine promotions
in World War's "Circuit" mode. 

Once all nine trophies have been earned, the hidden
"Challenge" feature will now be selectable in World
War mode.


======================================
* Unlock the special EDIT Super Moves:
======================================

Defeat all 116 opponents (117 if the player uses
a Created Wrestler) in Challenge mode. After the
final opponent has been defeated, the game's
credits will then be shown featuring a handful
of "super moves".

After the credits have finished and the game has
been reset, a number of additional moves will then
become selectable in EDIT mode.

Playing through Challenge mode with a Created 
wrestler will NOT unlock any additional EDIT
Skill points for the Created Wrestler.


============
* Rage Mode:
============

When either Wrestler receives enough damage during
the fight, a special animation will be activated where
the Wrestler will "power up" and become enraged
temporarily.

While Rage Mode is activated, the Wrestler will:

* Turn a reddish hue
* Resist being knocked down from certain moves
* Move faster
* Have higher attack power
* When knocked down, will immediately return to feet
* Nearly impossible to perform a ground submission


From my own gameplay experiences, it seems Rage Mode
is most easily activated by using illegal tactis and
constant kicks/punches to an opponent.


================================
* Avoid an opponent's Rage Mode:
================================

While facing off against a computer opponent, when
they become enraged and enter Rage Mode, start running
in the opposite direction a few spaces above them (to 
avoid running into the opponent). The computer opponent
will just stand there and wait for the player to stop
running. 

Continue running and the opponent's rage mode will
eventually run out; avoiding any damage taken in
the process!


=====================
* Challenge mode tip:
=====================

In the unlockable "Challenge" mode, certain opponents
controlled by the COM will be harder to defeat than
others.

These more difficult opponents are chosen at random
throughout Challenge mode and are easily spotted by:

1) Rising to their feet immediately after most attacks
2) Will escape submission holds almost immediately
3) Much higher defense
4) Will have a quicker rage mode activation (sometimes
twice in one match!)
5) Quicker response time during grapples

While submission holds will wear these tougher opponents
down, the best way to defeat these opponents is by
pinning them. It is also ideal to monitor how much
health each opponent has by paying attention to
how quickly the opponent rises to their feet after
being knocked down.


==========================
* Similar sounding themes:
==========================

It should come as no surprise that some of the BGM
tracks featured in Gekitou were also inspired by 
real life Wrestling themes. Here's a few that I
noticed:

BGM 1 - Toshiaki Kawada's "Dangerous K"
BGM 2 - Stan Hansen's "Sunrise" 
BGM 3 - A small resemblance to Mitsuharu Misawa's "Spartan X"
BGM 12 - Tatsumi Fujinami's "Rising Epilogue"
BGM 13 - Jushin Thunder Liger's "Ikari no Jushin Liger"
BGM 23 - Without question based on Keiji Mutoh's "Hold Out"
