Basic edit tips and tricks!

Entertainment is a parameter category for the comedy/gay moves.

Showmanship is a logic setting for personality.

I'm considering making a series of wrestlers that are designed for quick matches against each other, and I'm curious if anyone has ideas on how I should approach this? I don't want them to be pinning off of small basic moves, but I'd like the progression of the matches to be 10-15 minutes instead of your typical 20-30. Sort of like a glass cannon concept, maybe?

Deni's guide kinda covers this, but think this is worth mentioning, as it makes an edit a lot more cohesive to watch.

Make sure a good chunk of your moves build to your big moves and match enders logically. If the edit uses a head droppy finish, target the head with the various different strikes and grapples to soften em up. Master of the armbar? Work those arms till they resemble wet noodles! Edit finishes off a cloverleaf? Turn their legs to powder! A bearhug? Go for the gut, and keep hammering away until the opponent resembles an empty toothpaste tube! Is your edit one who uses the One Winged Angel, Blizzard Suplex, Karma Driver, and Small Package Bomb? It's BFMS, sure, but even that can be built to with proper work of attacking the legs to weaken the opponent's ability to escape such maneuvers, and targeting the neck to make sure they feel the full brunt of the attack.

This isn't a word of law, and you are more than free to have an edit using the figure four as a finish after working the arm for 90% of the match if it is your desire.

That's gonna be heavily moveset based. Gotta have enough opening feel out type moves available to work with in the logic.

Assuming you do, I'd say make sure to strictly compartmentalize those moves from bigger ones early in a match, loosening up slightly in medium. So basically, zero percent chances for any moves that aren't early match feel out types for small damage section at least.

A lot of times, medium damage moves will still be pretty early in a match, so keeping real big moves and sigs outta there can be a good idea, while opening up slightly bigger moves from small damage. Like regular suplexes and stuff. While still having plenty of early match feelout moves logic.

And as anything, parameters are gonna play a big part. If they're really high and edits blast through early/mid damage right to large a short few minutes in, no matter how much you set those moves to happen early/mid won't matter and basically skip past the early match build. Gotta find the balance based on how long you prefer that buildup to last.

Also setting stand back and circle around to high percentages in small will cause your edit to do more feeling out of the opponent.

You still have to be careful with some of them because they can be kind of nuke-y if not balanced properly.

A lot of my edits have pretty decent Tech Offense, but I hardly notice a difference in Spirit Damage over the course of a match. Some of the transitions are tied to Tech Offense, such as the Back Switch.

I set MMA Offense to 1 on all of my edits (even the ones who have an MMA background) so they don't end up nuking the opponent too quickly. The Rolling Facelock (whatever it's called) does a ton of damage even at low Parameters. Also, most edits I'm familiar with don't have very high MMA Defense - I generally set it to 3 or 4 as a preventative measure.
