This guide was primarily written for Xbox, and has been fitted to work with ps2. Consult the ps2 manual if some buttons in this guide do not work.
Custom Wrestler:
Move set: Ruckus ( 7 button combo: AAAAAAA on Xbox, XXXXXXX on Ps2) Super: Vic Grimes Outro: Violent J Difficulty: Low Music: Low to none (to avoid copyright claims)
False Start Glitch: While the intro cutscene is playing for your opponent, hold the joystick in any direction. Your wrestler will move in that direction before the fight begins. This can be used in certain fights to get early Turbo/mission requirements.
Timing starts upon selecting "YES" on the "are you done?" screen
Backyard:
Mission 1: Block 3 attacks Hold the block button(L on Xbox, R2 on Ps2) until you get hit 3 times. Grapples do not count. Exit the mission.
Mission 2: Punch/Kick Combo Press X (Square on ps2) 3 times in succession, blocked attacks do not count, exit the mission.
Mission 3: Grapple Arts: Bring your opponent over to a corner, press B (Circle), then Y (Triangle) to Irish Whip him into a corner, punch them, grapple, and repeat, exit the mission.
Mission 4: Dash Attacks The first choke point in the run. Wait for your turbo to get full (33 seconds), line your opponent up, and press RT (R1) and X (circle) or A (X) do this 5 times, and exit the mission
Advanced Strat: False Start Glitch to begin building turbo quicker.
Mission 5: Whacker usage Pick up the weed whacker (Triangle), hit your opponent with it 3 times (blocked attacks do not count) exit the mission
Trailer Park
Mission 6: More Grapple Arts Grapple your opponent (circle), and mash RT (R2), until complete. exit the mission
Mission 7: Guard Breaks Build up turbo, and press RT + attack button (X or A) (R1 + X or Square) While your opponent is blocking. once complete, exit mission
Mission 8: Ground Attacks Knock your opponent to the ground, and hit them once, repeat 5 times, and exit the mission.
Mission 9: Attack Counters Build up turbo, and at the start of your opponent's attack press both triggers at the same time (R1 + L1 on ps2) complete, and exit the mission
Mission 10: Jump Attacks Knock opponent down, climb on the picnic table, and press an attack button. If the table is broken, you can use the trailer, complete and exit the mission.
Advanced Strat: False Start Glitch onto the table, and mash an attack button for an easy (mostly) unblockable move.
Pool
Mission 11: Super Moves False Start Glitch, Wait for your turbo meter to fill up (33 seconds, 32 with FSG) grapple opponent, and press both attack buttons. complete and exit the mission.
Mission 12: Ledge Throws Grapple your opponent near the pool's edge, and press any attack button, repeat once, and exit the mission
Mission 13: Reversals Get grappled by your opponent, and attempt to guess what he will do: Whip (Y/Triangle), Attack 1 (X/Square), Attack 2 (A/X), or Submission (B/Circle) There is no setup for this, you have to get lucky. repeat 3 times, and exit the mission. The best strat I have found has been to block in a corner, and hope the AI grapples you.
Mission 14: Grapple escapes Wait for your turbo meter to fill up, get grappled by your opponent, and press LT+RT (R1+L1), repeat twice, and exit the mission
Mission 15: Win streak The first use of a 7 button combo. A A A A A A A, (or X X X X X X X on Ps2). This does 1050 damage per successful combo. On average you should be able to get 35 - 45 seconds per match, with sub 30 being optimal. Repeat 5 times.
Advance Strat - Combo Stack: Perform a 7 button combo, then perform a Guard Break, The guard break counts as the 8th attack, then perform another 7 button combo. This is 3200 damage per hit. If you have enough turbo, you could (in theory) perform this twice, and get a 21 button combo.
Mission 16: Eastern Title Tournament Skip the cutscene at the start, and follow the same pattern from Mission 15.
Timing ends on the "Holy shit! You just won the Eastern Championship!" screen.
