Good news / bad news

OK, first the good news: WAS 2 is here (complete w/ both CDs). Voting is now closed for the match. In case you're curious, here's how the voting broke down:
Sophia Richards: 3
Chisato Sakurai: 2
Calen Nielson: 1

Expect that match on Wednesday. I'll see about ripping the CDs as soon as I have some time. (Yes, even the drama CD, weirdos).

More good news, this time about Smackdown vs Raw: They're going to release a patch to let you freely manipulate CAW stats once you've completed Season mode once. The deliver date is "Before Jan 31st 2009", though, so... well, we'll see how it goes; It's good news, at least. Of course, now that I'll be able to use 2009, I'll have to re-create everyone...

And finally the bad news:




So, yeah. I've been able to play with it since then, but it's probably just a matter of time until it goes permanently. No 360 videos until further notice...

WAS 2 poll!

So, WAS 2 should be here Monday. I've been thinking about the first match, and I've decided that, what the hey, I'll make it a tag match. It'll pit Maiden Sakurazaki and new improved Maria Crawford versus Bunny Bomber and.............. I don't know who. I'll take votes in the comments.

Charecter page is here.

WAS 2 notes!

Well! Two WAS notes. First, they re-designed Maria Crawford. Her banana yellow Dick Tracy coat is gone, but I have to say this is, um, an improvement. They also added THIS lady:



She's a little, um, intense, but I like her. In fact, I have to say just about all the new WAS 2 charecters are pretty good. I like 99% of the re-designs, too. I got a good feeling.

Second, in reards to my specific copy. The release date is today, but it hasn't been shipped yet. An email to my friendly import store resulted in this:

Hi Ryona King, thanks for your email. There was a shipment delay with our Japanese import packages earlier this morning but the Wrestle Angels 2 Survivor Limited Edition will arrive tomorrow and preorders will ship on Friday. Thanks for checking with us to make sure.

So, we'll see - I should have it in my hot little hands and a match ready by this Wednesday, I hope. Fingers crossed.
