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
