Smackdown vs Raw 2007

Cool, I've actually seen those over at GameFAQs. I'll definitely give that Eddie Guerrero suggestion a try. Any suggestions for the Casket Reversal except button mashing and to just keep trying?

It's very similiar to reversing a sleeper hold. Pick someone with really high technique, like Benoit, Hart, or Kurt Angle(I used Bret Hart) and just battle it out through the casket area. Just keep on damaging your opponent, don't let him slam you once, only let him Irish Whip you... and when he does, and tries to get you into the casket, then the mini game starts. Timing is everything, like escaping the sleeper hold, except that you have limited tries... once you reverse it, open a can of whoop-ass, and beat him to finish that challenge.

[Andrew]

Alright I'll give it a shot, thanks. I've tried using a player with a high technique rating against one with a low rating but no success so far. Admittedly I've just been letting them whip me into the casket without doing any damage to them first. That's probably where I've gone wrong, having no momentum. Anyway, thanks again, I'll keep trying that.

Just out of interest, how many attempts did it take you?

Took me... I think 3 tries? The hardest one for me was the Bra and Panties match against Trish Stratus... never knew spanking was THAT difficult.

[Andrew]

The most frustrating part of the spanking mini-game is the third one. Can't tell you how many times I've done the first two then narrowly missed the third one.

[koberulz]

the most frustrating part is having your parents wondering why the hell you're playing with half-naked women...

[Andrew]

Can't say I have that problem myself.

Haha, yeah, that was my problem too, the third one is just too hard to time.

I have SDvR2006 on my psp, so everything's private

At least you're not playing with naked men.

Managed to clear the rest of the challenges in 2006. Only have the GM, Elimination Chamber and Match Veteran trophies to win, can't be bothered doing that tonight. Thanks again for the advice BZ, I ended up getting the casket reversal in two player, simply letting player two automatically close the door (slowly) and timing the reversal properly.

Nice I'm glad to help. *sigh* I had to do it single player only, relying on the AI... damn psp

[Andrew]

I tip my hat to you, that certainly takes more skill and patience than I possess.

Lol, thanks.. actually, its all about luck and utilizing the sliders to your advantage

[Andrew]

That's what I did for the finisher reversal challenge. I know it's still feasible on the default setting but I wanted to get all the challenges out of the way quickly.

Just went through wrestlemania 22 on ppv mode using some caws and an action replay dcode for the money in the bank match....cena-hhh was just as good as the real one. went for 17:11. the stupid thing is how the cpu gives up at about 5 minutes, and starts trying to get disqualified. trips got out the ring bell and started trying to hit me with it, i managed to prevent it most of the time, and accidentally knocked out the ref before the only time he managed to connect. i thought i was gone there, he rolled me inside and hit the pedigree, i managed to kick out. i tried several times to pedigree him through the table, but because i couldnt use a stored finisher, was unsuccessful on the most part and fell off the table mid-animation when i finally hit it. i was low on stamina for much of the match...rolled him inside after the pedigree, he countered a couple of attacks, i hit the f-u....double knockout situation.....trips gets up first, at count of eight...i counter him picking me up, hit a top rope move to get full momentum, hit the f-u, 1..2..3. best match i've played.

what caws have you guys got? ive got:

The Crusher (custom caw)(somewhere betwwen mysterio and cena, lots of highflying moves)
Brian Kendrick
The Boogeyman
Bobby Lashley
Finlay
Rhino (ecw)
Sabu (ecw)
Matt Hardy
Jeff Hardy (wwe)
Dudleyz (ecw)
Nunzio (ecw)
Psicosis (wcw)
MNM
Shane O Mac
Taz (ecw)
Goldust

So far I've only created Mercury, Nitro and Mickie James, all from the various CAW sites that have been posted. Usually the only letdown is the lack of normal clothes/costumes, THQ always does a great job with the face/body customisation.

[BZ]

I've got some Custom CAW's and some real wrestler CAW's:
Val Venis
Bobby Lashley
Paul Burchill
Brock Lesnar
Mark Henry
Matt Hardy
Ultimate Warrior
And that's about it... the PSP CAW system is terribly limited... I only have 16 layers, and 9 is taken up already... that's a glaring issue that THQ has to got seriously fix up.
