Rumble Roses XX Premade Wrestler Slider Explainopocalypse

If you remember our last post, we're going to take a look now at how the sliders effect the pre-made wrestlers. The answer is, not quite as much. Part of this, I think, is that you can't edit the girl's heights no matter what. Another is that the girls just seem to have set body types - you can crank Benikage's muscles and body to 100% (note: do not do this), but she's never going to be as big as, say, Dixie with the same sliders.

Not, of course, that the sliders don't have an effect. Let's take a look at minimum muscle, minimum body Makoto, shall we?

Actually, not that bad; Makoto tends towards the skinnier, flatter side, so she could look a lot worse with the sliders minimized. Okay, compare and contrast: Let's see BBD with 100% on both.



Ugh. Remember last post where I said,

RRXX's muscles never get like gross huge

? Yeah, that's before I made this. I like her better with meat on her bones, but Makoto with rippling bodybuilder muscles just looks kind of weird, doesn't it? Look how big her thighs are compared to her head. Of course, minimum slider Makoto up there has skinny chicken legs, so pick your poison.

Just to illustrate fully, this week's Saturday video is going to be 0% all Makoto vs 100% all BBD. Your lucky day, pedos and huge muscle fans. (Your double lucky day if those fetishes intersect. [Also, gross])

Next time: We'll look at how the sliders affect more of the wrestlers, as well as how goofy looking you can make Becky look by abusing the sliders. Doesn't that sound fun??????????

And the video:

Rumble Roses XX Slider Showcase

(How the fuck did this violate Photobucket's terms of service?)

Coming this Saturday is a special video: The Rumble Roses XX Lambda Slider Showcase. One of the less-known features about Rumble Roses XX is that you can customize both created wrestlers (the Lambdas) and the pre-made girls themselves with body and muscle sliders. "Body" sliders are the body bulk; You can adjust the bust, 'body' (I think torso), hips (read: dat azz), arms, and legs from 0% to 100%. Musclewise, you can do arms, 'body' (read abs) and legs from 0% to 100%. Aside from the obvious cosmetic difference, adjusting the muscles to the minimum or maximum changes the wrestler's moves, as well as effecting how much damage each move does - the less muscle, the more submission damage you do, and the less damage you do with power moves. I think; someone leap in if I'm messing all this up.

Anyway, I like playing around with the sliders, so we're going to take a closer look at what exactly you can do with them. This week we're going to be looking at the Lambdas, who the sliders have a more noticeable effect on. To wit, I've cooked up four lambdas to represent the four different extremes you can have (zero on body and muscle, max on body and muscle, and one each of max body/minimum muscle and vice versa). Here's the cast:

Left to right: 0% all (Karen), 100% Muscle 0% Body (Blackrose), 100% Muscle 100% Body (Lucy), 100% all (Andrea).

Now let's take a closer look at each combination....

0% Muscle, 0% Body: I'm not really a big fan of this. Her arms, legs, and hips being small are all OK, but combined with the minimum-sized boob slider... look, they don't all have to be Aisha-sized Double D's spilling out the top and bottom, but it just makes it a little creepy. That's all I'm saying.

You can leave the rest minimized and turn the boob slider up, of course...

100% Muscle, 0% Body: For my money, this is the least appealing option. Just look at the versus screen picture: Aren't those arms gross? I don't get it. She looks more malnourished than muscular.
On a weird note: Look at the image on the side there - don't her boobs look bigger than Karen's, even though they're both at 0%? Must be the Body "Muscle" slider inching them up. Sure, why not. Maybe if she had 100% Muscle on her Body and the Arm and Leg Muscle sliders weren't maxed out it wouldn't be so bad. Hmmm.

100% Muscle, 100% Body: If you want muscles, this is much more like it. I'm personally not a huge muscle fan (Gina Carano is about as muscular as I like to see short of She-Hulk), but RRXX' muscles never get like gross huge. Honestly, I find this way, way more appealing than the 0% body option with the max muscles. Just check out her arms:

Looks much better with a little more meat on there, no?

0% Muscle, 100% Body: Man, check her out. Not pictured: Huge thighs. Okay, I'm going to come clean right now: This is my favorite choice. So shoot me. Is it because it has maximum boob size? Maybe. Maybe this is your mom's favorite choice. Sick burn. Sick burn.

Seriously: Is this my favorite size because I like curvy women, or is this my favorite size because I like women who don't look like they can get snapped in half by a stiff breeze, or is this my favorite size because I got brainwashed by a certain poster on the old RRXX GameFaqs messageboard who kept talking about snuggle muffins and making ^_^ faces? I don't know why, but here you go.

And that's it, really - enjoy the video, and Next Time, we'll examine the effect the sliders have on the pre-made wrestlers.

And the video:

sum1 has a birthday!!!!!!!!

Whose birthday is it? (No, not Chie's, hers is July 30th. Duh.) I was going to say that my birthday gift to myself would be taking this week off, but honestly, the videos are already in the can, so how much work is it to just post 'em? Assuming the youtube uploader works the first time? And assuming they don't process for 8 hours? Honestly. And don't ask how old I am, a lady never tells.

Due to an Amazon snafu (2 day shipping my a$$), almost all of my wife's presents are late. So here's my actual present to myself on the left there. In addition to that, I hope all y'all got me some nice presents. Have at it.

E Thrizzle

You might remember me complaining earlier about how all the wrestling/boxing/MMA games coming out are all sausage-fests. Since it looks like UFC Undisputed is never going to have ladies and EA Sports MMA (great name, BTW) isn't going to have any this time around - and that's what was said about TNA Impact, too, and look how that turned out - I was feeling down, but, finally, here's some good news: A third MMA game! There can't be three MMA games dumb enough to be all sausagefests, right? I swear, that's all I want. I'm really hoping here, too, because the only other game on the horizon with even an outside chance is the AAA Lucha game and I'm not holding my breath for that one. The fact that I'm willing to learn how to play a MMA game, which I know nothing about, should show you how desperate I'm getting. Heck, what was the last non-Smackdown game with women in it? Facebreaker? I don't think I need to say anything more than that.

OKAY, YouTube...

I think it's been processing long enough. Fer chrissakes. Can we go back to when my channel wasn't hideous and uploading videos actually worked on the first try and they didn't process for eight hours and never show up for viewing?

** Update **

Well, it's been ten fucking hours, so I'm just gonna try re-uploading this. Christ on friday.

** Update 2 **

IT'S A MIRACLE Y'ALL



** Update 3**

Next time you see a new video with a discription like "Take three", you'll know what the deal is. Let's hope that isn't a too common occurance.
