Yuki Preset AKA Bishoujo Wrestler Retsuden

You've probably noticed that right now I'm doing one WAS match every Saturday, then switching Rumble Roses / Smackdown vs Raw every friday. This is OK for now, but I don't want to get into too much of a rut. There's a few games I'm eyeballing to use as well, but they're not ready yet. I just got Soul Calibur 4, so I may do a little bit of that, but probably not too much - maybe some critical finish collections, or Heaven's Arch collections. You know, good old fashioned intimacy. I'll leave the rest up to the experts out there.

Anyways, this post is about Yuki Preset AKA Bishoujo Wrestler Retsuden AKA Beautiful Wrestler's History, which I do already have one video of posted:



Now I like this game, for two reasons. One is the graphics. We all love 3D mip-mapped heaving polygonal boobs, but these cartoon sprites are a nice change from Smackdown vs Raw and Rumble Roses. (Plus nobody in Smackdown vs Raw does these insane moves.) Two, it features charecters from the Wrestle Angel universe. Bonus points.

Now there are two problems, which is why you haven't seen any of these matches uploaded!

Problem 1: The videos I record have no sound. This is an issue due to zsnes, which makes you use this goofy program called mencoder or something. I don't think this is much of a stumbling block, because I was able to solve it back before the computer crash, so hopefully I should be able to solve it now. I just haven't had the time to fuck around with it at the moment.

Problem 2: The matches are all short. Now matches don't need to be 9:59 epic encounters to be entertaining, but these matches are really short. The one I've already posted is all of 1:35, and that's an unusual case. Singles matches usually don't go past a minute. These ladies don't mess around with restholds.

So, I don't know. Assuming I can get issue no. 1 ironed out, maybe I'll record a bunch and save them for a rainy day. I'm not sure if these will be Wednesday or Friday/Saturday uploads. Anyways, don't be surprised if you see a few appear over the coming months.

Things That Make You go Hmmmm

Looks like someone figured out how to request the same movie from two different people. I'm on to you, mister.

Elena!

Well, Smackdown vs Raw comments have been picking up (along with views, slightly), so it's been granted a reprieve. Some people suggested making Scarlet or Aeris for Tifa to take on. I'd love to, but the create a wrestler is so bad, I'm afraid it's not up to the task. I did, however, make an Elena, kind of.

The biggest problem with Smackdown vs Raw's wrestler creator is the hair. If there is no hair that fits your wrestler, you're fucked. With clothes and everything else, you can fudge things with patterns or messing with the options, but you can't do that with hair. If the haircut you want isn't in the game, it isn't in there, and there's nothing you can do. Suffice to say, Elena's hair isn't in the game. In fact, nothing close to her hair is in the game. There isn't even a good blonde hairstyle near hers that doesn't include dark roots! This is why I like making my own CAWs - you don't go crazy trying to match hair. Heck, 08 doesn't even have any non-symetrical hair. There's maybe 12 total haircuts for women (and like 30 various states of balding for men). I miss the old games when they still had Selphie's hair. Oh well.

I had two other problems, the big one being her suit. She's supposted to be wearing the iconic dark blue Turks suit, of course, but for some reason, the only suit top that women can wear in this game has fucking pinstripes that you can't remove. So I had to tint it black to hide them. It does look a little funny, but you'll probably be distracted by her hair.
They also don't have the right shoes, but nobody looks at shoes.

Anyways, despite the bad hair, she doesn't look half bad. It does look more like Uma Thurman playing the part of Elena, but that's fine. Stay tuned for her debut match tomorrow.

Update: No matter what I do, she's getting sqaushed by Tifa. I'll have to continue pumping her up in season mode (her stats already almost match Tifa's...)
Her debut will have to be two weeks from now after I can get a good match out of her.

Update 2: PIX NAO
