SmackDown Vs Raw 2008’s version of Sweet Chin Music was definitely my favorite! The way they designed Shawn falling over backwards on top of his opponent was perfectly animated.

SvR really made the Superkick sound like a bullet

“The ring is alive with the sound of music.” Classic

I remember as a kid my grandparents would get me the new WWE game every Christmas. I miss those times.

0:46 Is by far the hardest Sweet Chin Music 💯

Day of Reckoning 2 is still one of the best looking and best playing WWE games since No Mercy

Here comes the pain is still the best wrestling game ever hands down

Why do I prefer the older games. They're more fun...

Funny, as soon as the games went to 2k, the OOMPH of the impact was gone. As well as the epic camera angles and effects. (This goes for all finishers, tho.)

I hope they add a corner SCM with a pin option like they used to have 🤦🏽‍♂️. I’ve been waiting on a new animation for years.

In DOR2 you could hit it running too. I loved the mechanics of that game sooo much. Best gameplay for me growing up

Here comes the pain. Peak wwe gaming 🤷🏾‍♂️

Great compilation! Though you may have overlooked the running SCM they had in HCTP and the OG SvR. I loved hitting that move.

The sounds of him tuning up the band from svr06 and the sound of the kick in svr07 is a PERFECT Sweet Chin Music i love the strut after the kick too I miss that they should put it back , they took away Swag of the finishers they look so robotic now 😊

If you ever feel like revising this video, you should add the version from Wrestlemania 2000/No Mercy, which is actually different from the Steven Kick.

0:09 Austin no-selling, as he normally does

SvR 2009 has the best sweet chin music animation with pin. They need to add a new animation now.

I have so many memories of smackdown vs raw from 2005 to 2011 those were fond memories

So… no Attitude, WrestleMania 2000, or No Mercy?

They really need to update HBK’s super kick animations. But the HBK disrespect in WWE games has been insane for a long time. There was a period where he had the same exact attire for like 4 years straight, we never got a proper career showcase mode & all of the superkicks are trash, currently. (Especially compared to all of the Cutters) We also should have had a recreation of the SCM to Shelton Benjamin (as a whole movement like Rated RKO in 08, not that lame ass Catch finisher which also needs an overhaul) HCTP grounded motion FTW plus 08’s pin option where he kicks them off both feet. Current standing one is okay only for the pin animation but it should have some sort of set up

Biggest Addict on Smackdown pain over a long years since my childhood now I'm directly playing 2k23 that experience was really good

OMG “here comes the pain” and “shut your mouth” brings back so many memories.

Looking at what previous games did like the amount of moves that used to be available in the wrestler movesets to the finisher sells the new games feel lackluster.

Good to see the Gamecube games get some love in this video, I feel like not enough people talk about how good they were in comparison to all the flowers that the SmackDown and N64 games do

I enjoyed the previous games. The animations and camera cuts during was cool, and the crowd also were overhyped unlike the current versions.

It was nice when the super kick was actually a threatening move/finisher. Now they execute them all over the place multiple times in a match. Especially in AEW. The move holds no real weight anymore.

That WWE 2k17 the best one him delivering the SCM and falling best one

No WWF Wrestlemania: The Arcade Game????

Man I remember that 1st sweet chin music 😂 it was difficult tryna do it im 31yrs old now I dam near played most of these wrestling games

If you played these games on N64 and PS1 then your appreciation of the new games are on a whole diffrent level

after 2011 it started getting weird

Here comes the pain

I wish in the new games the timing was better like back then. I hate how the person turns around and you’re still standing in the corner stomping your leg while they’re just standing there dazed waiting to finish the kick. Would feel better if right as they turned around you were landing the kick. Same with spears and other corner finishers that are animated.

0:53 BEST SWEET CHIN MUSIC EVER!

Bro the glass breaking and slow mode really made the move look special

I used to love the way it did that x-ray filter on the first Day of Reckoning fame. This was way before the Mortal Kombat thing. Used to look so brutal, like with pile drivers or moves like that, like you just injured the opponent.

That warzone sweet chin music was so hard to hit. But when i did. boy was it satisfying.

The one thing I love about the WrestleMania games is how easy it is to stop literally any move with hits or throwing someone onto someone

Great Video 😍😍😍

You missing some games wwf WrestleMania the arcade version, in your house and wwf attitude bud, love the video

WWE WAR ZONE bring back memories now 'm gonna bring that game back again for my N64

Seems they finally got the realism once 2k17 to 2k22 came out.

SVR1 was the best. Animation to timing of the kick. Still the best game imo too

Man... when raw is war dropped on the N64.. the stunner and SCM were the only two moves I wanted to learn😂

You know what I miss about the older games(anything with SD name in it) when you hit that finisher that graphic went across the screen...got me excited watching it, lol. The best modern one was 17 when he fell out after the kick. These games are too realistic and forget they are just games. They need to add that extra umph back into the games.

I can see why I got out of games in the mid 2000’s. The late teens look like they finally got it right, but I never played them…

You forgot the THQ games on N64.

Well done 😊

The new games just don't have that impact

2007 sweet chain music is my favorite one

In my household we call superkicks "thigh slaps"

Those day of reckoning 2 graphics are fucking mind blowing!!!!!

Shut your mouth, my favorite, the camera angles when u did a smack was so good, especially for highfliers like jeff hardy’s swanton bomb or RVD 5 star frog splash ❤

the need to bring back the replay

Wow they had the same the animation and sound effect until 2009! I never noticed.

I can safely say after looking at the move through the years, that if you are not going to have a set animation of him doing the stomp setup on the corner then just drop that part and let him do a super kick. That stomping in the middle of the ring looks so awkward.

Nostalgia

Man i have some good memories with 12 and 13

Here come's the pain 🔥🔥🔥

There were so many wrestling games between 2000 and 2005

Bro I forgot about the finisher sfx in the SVR games that was so fucking cool

Smack down serious sweet chin music are one ☝️ of the best

I really think we’ve been hoodwinked by 2K for years. The arcade feel of SvR and Reckoning seems like a much better deal these days. Even the models and animations look more fun! Even the crowd is better! What happened..?

Here comes the pain had every single detail. I don't get how we got better graphics but lost the movement and details 🤷🏽‍♂️

HCTP Sweetchin music my favorite

It's been in games since 1995! Lol

2008 clears. So much impact.

I think one of the worst routes they could've taken is the change in sound effects. Not everything in gaming needs to be as close to real life as possible. Bring back making it sound like Shawn kicked someone's jaw through the atmosphere. The slow motion build up right before impact was also a nice touch.

Their hair moves a little better each year. I think that’s where most of the budget goes.

Omg

They forgotten 3 games. Raw & Raw 2 on Xbox and Royal Rumble from Dreamcast.

2008 when he had the ref stuck in the corner is the most Shawn Michaels thing ever 😂😂😂😂

"He's putting those educated feet to good use."

Great finsher

Massive fan of Stone Cold no selling a Sweet Chin Music!

day of reckoning and svr 08 have the best effects

Day of reckoning graphics 🔥

WWE is the only game no matter its graphics were of lower quality but still loved by many

I miss playing smackdown 2

Here Comes the Pain and Shut Your Mouth are such good games

Please make one for JBL's Clothesline from Hell.

2:07 if you tap L1 again on that one it will do a 360.

Even in video games he does the thigh slap

0:53 the best sweet chin music variation of all time!!!

Here comes the pain was such a brutal one haha

I just miss the GM mode on SVR

Here comes the pain sweet chin music was the greatest imo

Shows how over the years they didn't do shit and sold the same gave over and over again to make good money.

Funny that when HBK used its sweet chin music yet when anyone does it, it's super kick

Wth Shawn Michaels was there in smack down 2 know your role 😳😳

>aj about to be kicked "...tell us about AJ styles " Bam

That spin around before they fall was a terrible decision, and they kept that for 3 games straight. Jeez.

There are 2 Nintendo 64 games featuring the sweet chin music Wrestlemania 2000 and No Mercy

The 2K17 animation was so realistic. Similar to WM14 Sweet Chin Music attempt on Austin but failed.

2:57 sooooo that’s what happened when Shawn would super kick the wrestlers on tv a shotgun blast to the face I always knew he had a loaded foot 😂

The evolution of Chad Frost, amazing

Bro choose top superstars by year.. VS sweet chin music 👌

Missing wwe raw 2

HCTP had probably the best looking finishers IMO

I know I can't be the only one that laughed at the knee slap sound effect
