This video was supposed to be uploaded by Thanksgiving, with my Fire Pro Returns review uploaded by Black Friday. Unfortunately, due to personal shit happening, both were delayed. You can expect my Fire Pro Returns review to be uploaded by tomorrow or Wednesday, but here's my review of Fire Pro Wrestling 1 and 2 on the GBA!
Hope you enjoy!

Now I need to go back to my rant about custom wrestling moves. I wanted to say something in addition to them but I couldn't think of it at the time. What would be a good idea for wrestling games is that when you have a wrestler in a storyline, regardless of the wrestler being a CAW or an in-game wrestler or the story being a pre-made one or a customized one, you also need to have more of an RPG-like element to it when it comes to making wrestling moves and wrestling matches.

@paxhumana2015 12 жыл бұрын

Now that might sound a bit complex but hear me out on this one. When you wrestle, you learn more moves as your progress in a wrestling career. This is not unlike an RPG where the further that you progress in the game, the more spells, armor, weapons, and whatnot that you obtain in the game. Wrestling games need to have a similar mindset when it comes to wrestling moves, regardless of how weak or strong the moves are in the game. I will explain more about this in my next post to you.

There was also another wrestler that performed this move that would be best described as a Side Stone Cold Stunner/Ace Crusher From the Second Rope. When you play Fire Pro Wrestling, you can't do something like that and, as deep as the custom features are on the WWF/WWE games, even THEIR parameters won't allow for such a move to be made in the game. I thought that professional wrestling was supposed to be about innovation and not stagnation and the status quo. I will continue on my post.

i got my first fire pro wrestling game when i was 28. back in 1997. i was playing FIRE PRO WRESTLING:SIX MAN SCRAMBLE for the sega saturn! for about 4 months, i was getting my ass kicked and never won a match. then, i beat the game and went thru all 300 wrestlers and 12 modes in 2 months. i got the gameboy advance versions of fire pro wrestling on the day that they both came out! they've lived in my ds and sp handhelds ever since! FIRE PRO WRESTLING FOREVER!

They need to accept that the independent wrestling organizations do it as well as the lucha libre and European and international wrestling organizations. Also, wrestling games need to have a combination of the WWE Universe mode and the storyline concept from WWF SmackDown! 2: Know Your Role for the PS1 and the ability to make your own storyline and to make your own commentary that is supported by online microphones. E-federations are HUGE and steps need to be made to accomodate them, too.

I recommend the first one, but the 2nd one is great too. As for Fire Pro Returns, it's on the American PSN. You don't have to live in the U.S. to create an American PSN account. I live in the U.S. and I have a Japanese PSN account. You can look up how to do it. It's very easy.

My idea is basically an adaptation of the Sphere Grid of the FFX-FFX-2 games, the License Board of FFXII, the Crystarium System of FFXIII, or the Revelation Flow Chart of Rogue Galaxy. However, unlike those games, you have the choice of working on what moves to do directly as opposed to simply gathering up items. In short, a prompt asks you via a wrestler in the Training Area or Gym on what move that you would like to perform and it will tell you the button combination to perform said move.

@AllieRX 12 жыл бұрын

Oh no! It won't bore me! I'd love to see what you think of the Fire Pro franchise. And if both the SmackDown vs. Raw/WWE and Fire Pro series fail to be the absolute best in wrestling games, what could possibly be better than them? The AKI wrestling games?

Actually, it was a move made by Athena and it was essentially a Spinning Stone Cold Stunner/Ace Crusher From the Top Turnbuckle. It looked awesome, by the way.

@AllieRX 12 жыл бұрын

@mario199923 If your opponent keeps countering your moves, try starting with a weak grapple, which is the B button. Once you wear him down, press the A button. After you wear him down some more, press B+A simultaneously.

@paxhumana2015 12 жыл бұрын

You keep learning the move enough and then you will master it, not unlike the Weapons System in Rogue Galaxy, but a bit more tailored towards wrestling statistics, suvh as endurance, strength, critical, etc. Also, Fire Pro Wrestling needs more frames of animation concerning throwing your opponent into the top or bottom turnbuckle as well as running to them from there as well in the game. I know that my posts are long, AllieRX87, but this is just a fraction of the needs of games like these.

@paxhumana2015 12 жыл бұрын

What needs to happen is instead of having to choose between a large amount of moves and no customization or a medium amount of moves and a way too complex interface for making custom moves, you need to have a clear interface that makes it easy enough for the beginner yet not too complex for the advanced virtual grappler and allow for a large moveset that can be expanded via moves that you can create in the game and by dowloadable content from the company and from other players online.

@paxhumana2015 12 жыл бұрын

The second problem is that when you have a wrestling game, you either are forced to have a medium to large set of moves and no customization on them or you have a WAY too complex method of making custom moves for your wrestlers. A few cases in point would be some moves that I saw in a promotion called TCW (Traditional Championship Wrestling). There was this one female wrestler that performed an awesome finisher that was a combination of Over Castle and the Stone Cold Stunner/Ace Crusher.

@paxhumana2015 12 жыл бұрын

Another problem is that Fire Pro Wrestling sucks balls with its single player campaign and the multi-player campaign in most WWF/WWE games also sucks balls. Why can't we have a decent campaign for BOTH mindsets, let alone multi-player online play for Fire Pro Wrestling? Also, when people say that puroresu wrestling and wrestling games have no storyline, let alone backstage fights, I call bullshit on both of those things because I damn well know that both have happened and can happen in them.

@AllieRX87 You have the same features in FPR Except Story mode. Plus the Default roster also contains wrestlers from the 90s . And there are a lot of saved game files of users who made Extra wrestlers Rings and what not ,and they vary from the 80s up to present time . So you could literally play With any Roster you would like ,ECW,WWF, you name It. I played with the WWF classic roster ,and now I'm playing with the present time roster , So i could have dream matches from any promotion.

@AllieRX87 I agree With you . By the way ,In FPR Landmine you can do a suicide dive from the inside of the ring to the oustside while your opponent is out side groggy , but yes after that the wrestlers automatically return to the ring. Also i would recommend you to try a game that is Fire pro 3d Adaptation that is called King of Coliseum 2. Its in Japanese but its playable to non-Japanese speakers,also there is a translation guide at Games FAQ.

@THENAMEISQUICKMAN Depends on the fate of the avatar Fire Pro game. If it sells well (god forbid), then they'll probably continue making games like that. If it doesn't, then it could go in two ways: they MIGHT make another one but go back to the classic engine like they should've, or stop making Fire Pro games altogether if they think only WWE wrestling games sell these days. From what I've heard, that game is only getting a Japan release, which is dumb because Xbox 360 is irrelevant over there

@paxhumana2015 12 жыл бұрын

As much as I liked the AKI games, even THEY don't capture the true essence of wrestling, AllieRX87. The problems are basically manifold. The first problem is that they just simply don't spend enough time to truly understand the nuances of professional wrestling. What I mean is that they don't take the time to become completely obscessed with professional wrestling. The mindset that is needed is akin to a combination of a Method actor, a historian, and, well, a professional wrestler. (cont.)

Elitist much, AllieRX87? Both the WWF/WWE games AND the FPW games fail at truly capturing how it feels to be in an actual wrestling match. I would go into a long, rambling discussion about it but that would bore the hell out of you. Both franchises just need to either improve or die period.

@triplehhh8777 FPR has a standard cage match, and in the Landmine Match, when you get knocked outta the ring, you automatically go back inside. That didn't happen in FPD. The only Non-Japanese wrestlers I recognized in FPR are Andre The Giant, Abdullah The Butcher, Terry Funk, The Road Warriors, Sting, Bret Hart, Dr. Death Steve Williams, Terry Gordy, Jeff Jarrett, Rikishi, AJ Styles, Sabu, Dynamite Kid, and I THINK British Bulldog is in there too. D still has the better default roster than R.
