[PS4] Fire Pro Wrestling World General Thread

"lower" offense. :V

defense is what's checked with a successful grapple by the other side... if they're high, then it means the moves will not do as much damage. Combined with high recovery and high HP, it basically means that it takes a lot more for a match to transition from early, to mid, to late, to critical HP.

reversal damage is determined by offense, same as anything else.

you may have to take other wrestlers into consideration for it but there is merit to having high average offense but low average defense. The main one being that it essentially forces matches to be short and brutal. Not that I'm saying you should do so with Necro Butcher, however.

Here's what BillWood said about the parameter points:


Parameters

| 01 | I'm laughably bad at this |

| 02 | I'm not able to do this well at all |

| 03 | I'm not so good with this, but can use it somewhat|

| 04 | I've trained but this is not my strong point |

| 05 | I've trained and am proficient in this trait |

| 06 | I'm better than some at this |

| 07 | I'm better than a lot at this |

| 08 | I'm better than most at this |

| 09 | Only true legends are better at this |

| 10 | I am a legend and master at this |


Necro is easily a 9 in Punch, in my opinion. I also look at Fire Pro in a strictly pro-wrestling context as I never use MMA guys or Boxers or whatever. Kayfabe-wise, Necro is a 9.

I'm happy someone pointed this out before I did. This is definitely a misconception of parameter point totals. Parameter points should be based around the frequency of the category types on offense and should be allocated based on ability to withstand different types of attacks on defense.

Otherwise, you are going to end up creating a bunch of overpowered, cement type edits.

Good posts from Maik and Z here, the main thing to consider is how the wrestler operates in context. If they're meant to be main event level destroyers, then high offensive stats for big and frequently used moves can absolutely make sense. But if they're just really good at something, but meant to be lower/mid card, then you can screw up balance badly by rating directly on how good they're supposed to be at that category without context.

My favorite example here was when I ported Danshoku Dino to FPW, I gave him 10 in Ent offence. Didn't have him spamming his big moves THAT much, but he was so overpowered that he beat Inoki and Prime Hogan with his usual tactics. Bumped him back down to a 6 I think, which was still a six point swing over other edits without Ent defense, still powerful at that, but not destructive to balance anymore.

I think that list has poisoned the well at this point, really.

If your edit is 75% punches, something like a 9 Punch Offense will cause him to just mow the competition over. That's fine if you want a squash king, but if you want a balanced edit capable of putting on a 15m+ match without shenanigans, they clearly should NOT have that high of an offensive stat.

Edit: For an actual boxing or MMA edit, it'd make more sense. You want those to KO and likely win in short time (and is why I halved defenses on my combat edits).

Yeah, that's exactly it. You put those stats high to force the match to be fast. But, at least with OCs, you probably want to balance that out or simply avoid doing that altogether.

With boxing and MMA edits, you're probably giving them Fighter style + Strike critical to ensure that those matches end more quickly... and yes, also you should consider lowering their defenses considerably, unless you're trying to make a heavyweight who could go the distance like someone such as Ali used to.

Is there a list of the new names for the move list? It's a pain in the ass sometimes, I've had to play returns a few times to check.
