Wait what lol post a screenshot bc for me the names are just a part of the pictures

 

[Hidden Blaze]

But I found it now. I just had no idea there was names there as this is how it looks to me

 

[Hoss]

I am on a dark skin, and the names aren't showing for me. all I see are photos bruv.

That makes sense. The pictures are just png conversions of a Google Doc file.

 

[Hidden Blaze]

I do like my guy, gives me like a Seth Rollins, or Jay White vibe kind of lol.

For the record I was tryna go for a Switchblade/Adam Cole kinda vibe for Brandon Blaze. Probably coulda put off introducing him until potential future versions of the universe but fuck it.

These are fantastic, Hoss

 

[Hoss]

Surprised no one's acknowledged the guy with the parrot

 

[Hidden Blaze]

I went to a light skin real quick to see the names.

Is Dollface suppose to be like Toni and Shida inspired? Like, the outfit kinda gives me Shida vibes, and the hair does also a little bit(besides the blonde part lol) but the face gives me some Toni vibes, I could be way off on that. lol

I wouldn't say it was necessarily intentional but she is supposed to be kind of a 50s style character so yeah, it's understandable that Toni comes to mind for her.

Yeah, no, these look damn amazing. Fuck, I'd boot up a custom company with some of these guys if I had the drive to focus on more than one save at the time. (The shitpost fed takes priority.)

- I'd be pushing Outlaw Bruce to the fuckin' moon. Just look at that moustache. Stache of an antihero champion right there.
- Dorian Boyce feels like he has the vibe of a classic hero aiming for that one big win. Take Floyd Perkins as his protege until Floyd turns on him, there's your big summer rivalry.
- I'm torn between putting together Casanova Stone and Tommy Casino as a high end Vegas Sleaze tag team, frequent main event contentors, or eternal rivals trying to outdo each other with heel shitbaggery. Maybe all three at the same time.
- Kerry Oliver would be my go-to crowd pleasing babyface that rarely goes above midcard, and in a drunken night I'd speedbook him and his parrot to hold the tag belts then immediately regret it.
- Speedboat Jones and Nighttrain Charlie have GOT to be the babyface tag team that keeps it going, that's peak 80's energy from the names alone. There's a few others who seem to visually if not thematically make for a team, like Thomas Taylor and Dennis Rosen having matching headbands, but Speedboat & Nighttrain are being pushed to the high heaven.
- Wait hold the phone I just saw Lawrence Carmicheal's moustache and now I'm strapping a rocket to this whinging prick.

This is great stuff. How many of them have concrete thoughts behind them, or how many were made up as you went along?

You've cracked the code on a few things, such as Rosen and Taylor being partners and Dorian Boyce's mega babyface status. I also knew you'd love Lawrence Carmichael based off the mustache

All these characters have gimmicks thought of, promotions they belong to and a general sense of where they rank on the card. So far I've only actually added about 30 of them into the database with their details fully hashed out. A lot of them I'd say I know the gist of their backstories, but there's definitely gonna be some improvisation in filling in the details.

NEWS - June 1994...

WCW and Capcom have teamed up to create a twinned pair of arcade fighting games, WCW Nitro and WCW Thunder. The gameplay is very much like Capcom's Saturday Night Slam Masters released last year, with one-on-one fighter style mechanics combined with pins and submissions. A unique feature is that alongside separate Nitro and Thunder cabinets, special conjoined cabinets have been made, with Nitro and Thunder next to each other. If players are playing against each other on Nitro and Thunder cabinets, they can face off against each other in inter-brand matches.

Each of Nitro and Thunder has 12 different wrestlers playable.

Nitro: Ric Flair, Sting, Scott Steiner, Arn Anderson, Bobby Eaton, Dan Severn, Octagon, El Dandy, Brian Pillman, Chris Candido, Fatu, Samu
Singles Campaign Champion: Ric Flair / Tag Team Campaign Champions: Samoan SWAT Team
Thunder: Randy Savage, Vader, Rick Rude, Steve Austin, Cactus Jack, Eddie Guerrero, Rayo de Jalisco, Dustin Rhodes, Dean Malenko, Jerry Lynn, Booker T, Stevie Ray
Singles Campaign Champion: Vader / Tag Team Campaign Champions: Harlem Heat

@Hoss ... what AI program do you use for creating those models, if I may ask and is it very time consuming to get somewhat good character models out of it?

Asking for a friend.

Bing Copilot and no it's very easy, though there are certain things that can be tricky like getting a specific facial hair style or various other things. It can be a bit stubborn on the finer points but the characters pretty much always look good regardless.

Interesting. Thank you, Hoss. I'm gonna take a look at that then.
