If you're participating in the Joe vs. Cobra wrestling tournament, please 'sign up' in here.
I'd like to have at least 16 people in it to start.
That will give 8 matches the first round.
4 Matches the second round
and 2 Matches for the Semi-Finals.
Then the final match to declare the 2007 Joe Canuck Champion.
If we get more than 16, then some matches will be 'Triple Threat' to make it fair.
Only Joe vs. Cobra characters will be used in the tournament - NO actual WWE characters permitted. (Sgt. Slaughter is the exception). Also permitted will be 'self-wrestlers'. As long as your honest about your character. For example, I would be able to to throw Rey Mysterio - but not Big Show.
Current list of wrestlers made so far:
Joes:
Big Brawler
Cutter (1984)
Dial Tone (1987)
Duke (1984)
Gung Ho (1983)
Ripcord (1984),

That's 11 - 5 more to go!
-
Do I even need to respond to this? You know I'm in.
BTW, don't know if you need any characters but right now I have made:
Snake Eyes
Major Bludd
Dr. Mindbender
Firefly.
All set with base points so far (38?). let me know if you want any of them. Move sets I've just cut and paste from different WWE stars (not entire copy of one wrestler, corner move from one, finisher from another, etc...)
-
I'm in. And I'm gonna win.
-
I'll be in if you need someone to fill out a pairing. ;-)
-
-
Wow.... only four of us?
This will be quick. :-
-
Ok, I'll bite - never played a wrestling game before, but it'll be fun.
-
Time to extend the invite to the classicfigs board?
-
Honestly - no.
This is a Joe Meet - not a Wrestling meet. While some people there will be coming (Hammer, you, Scramble, me), most don't give a crap about G.I. Joe.
However - Joe Customs hasn't had a post about the meet in awhile.
I'll try to get to it later on - but if anyone here is in the JCW thing - feel free to get some of them to attend!
Mike
-
I do not know how to play the new Smackdown game, but I can participate. Besides, I want a rematch with Raptor.
-
It's the same - but you can alter the controller to the SAME settings as the previous ones.
You'll do fine.
-
i've never played a wrestling game....but the fact that makes me the longshot for all the oddmakers reminds of a little film called "rocky", so i'm in.
-
It's the same - but you can alter the controller to the SAME settings as the previous ones.
You'll do fine.
I also haven't played the game in 8 months, but if it's the same... I will practice.
-
For all you people worried about not havign enough experience, why not ask Raptor, last year's winner, how much he'd played before taking the trophy.
-
Count me in. I'm sure to eliminate at least someone off the tournament bracket.
-
So here's how the matches stand so far:
(In order of posts)
THE Mike?
vs
Morgardee
Scramble
vs
Raptor
MotoViper
vs
Jon S.
Radio Guy
vs
Loop
...or.... I may just draw names at the meet like I did last year.
-
Drawing out names is half the fun!
-
I can't take on Scramble - He's my JCW tag team partner. ;-)
-
-
Are you trying to break-up the Canadian Sensation?! And I agree with Loop, I'd rather not know my opponent until the ady of the Meet.
-
No problem guys. We'll just do random draws at the meet then.
Didn't we have more entrants last year?......
-
You just want to warm up on me. That's it, isn't it Mike? Well don't worry, I still demand the grudge match from last years humiliation! My pasty face avenger has been training hard in preparation.
-
On the subject of JCW, what are the thoughts on JCW-inspired customs?
-
In the game?
Read the first post. ;-)
-
So does it count as a self-custom? Cause it's kind of a custom of a self-custom.
-
Use your call Ryan - it's just a game! ;-)
I know Morgs will have his band outfit on - mine has a Hot Rod shirt (which is fitting since mine is wearing out), Jeans and my Superman Cap. ;-)
-
Sorry, I am confused - will we have to remake our CAW's, or will we be able to use the previous ones? If we can't reuse them, what is the new game and platform.
I could do a JVC version of raptor using the existing one as a base if we're doing the same game. But really, do i need to make Raptor look sillier?
-
-
We're using Smackdown vs. Raw 2007 for the PS2.
The characters from last year won't work on the new version.
Sorry Raps. Gotta make a new one.
On the plus side, it should be easy enough to -recreate- the one you made.
Mike

I will not be entering...My thumbs hurt.

It wasn't that easy - Brown was really hard to pull off on the previous version of the game, you had to "hand mix" it. Plus finding the appropriate shade of grey to make the back hair look like that wierd pattern crap on Rap's back was a challenge.
Looks like i'll have to find a copy of the new one and remake him. Maybe they'll have a proper bird head cowl for me to use this year.
- R
-
If anyone's making an '87 Joe character, that's who I'll use.
I'll have to win my way to meet Raptor, but that's half the fun!!!

Sorry Charles but I've found that the choices are even more limiting in 2007 than in 2006. There were certains customs I had that I made last year that i just couldn't duplicate this year. For example, my character of Chef Morgardee, the whole outfit he wore last year (white coverall shorts) is gone.
-
That is the suxxors. Well, I'll just have to get creative.
- R
-
Doing a roll call.... of sorts.
Who has a create-a-wrestler done so far, and who are they.
I want to make sure we have 30 in total - and no more.
Here's my list (so far - more to come):
THE Mike
Roadblock
Storm Shadow
Stalker
Destro
Cutter
Night Creeper Leader
Duke
-
I'm going to shoot for a Raptor and a "Canadian Sensation" Raptor. making a CAW that looks just like me would be... underwhelming.

Plus Morgardee if that counts (and my special grudge match CAW just for you ;D).
Hey Mike, what levels are we setting these guys at? Right now I'm trying to finish GM mode because as it stands these guys are all still 38. Moves sets and intros are finished but they are still wimps.
If we don't have 30 I have a few comic book guys like Spiderman, Joker, Supperman, George W Bush,etc...
-

We'll have 30.
And I'm averaging the guys around 5'10-6'1 at about 76-85, with the odd one higher (Storm Shadow).
I should be able to 'up' the numbers for yours at the meet.
We'll have 30. I finished another one this morning: Monkeywrench.
Stop making Cobras!
;-)
For each Cobra you make, make a Joe.... it evens things out.
We're ahead on Cobras now. 
I've updated the FIRST post in this thread with the list.
Raps, make you - it's funnier that way. I made me, Loop always makes him, etc. etc.
I don't follow JCW - which is why I put some very basic rules on which CAWs will be permitted in the tourny! ;-)
-
I would like to play, but I'm gonna be manning a sellers table - don't know how that would work out.

Since you're actually Deadshots assistant, I assume he wouldn't mind watching your items for you for awhile. Just the same as I'm sure you wouldn't mind watching his if he wanted to look around. ;-)
Update: Added Dial Tone.
-
I guess I will apart of the job squad if needed.

Alright, on the weekend I'll try to make a few more Joes. Just do me a favor and compile a new list of all CAWs on Friday.
-
Aw man. But it'll be a lot easier to make the CS raptor than the original.
And I have to use Raptor. It's in my contract. :shifty:
-

I've only made Sigma Six Spirit so far. Hoping to geta few more Sigma Six CAWs done before the meet.
-
Added Spirit (Sigma Six)
Hey Morg, can you let me know what 'versions' your guys are so I can update it.
Mike
-
Firefly V1
Dr. Mindbender V1
Major Bludd V1 (no helmet)
Snake Eyes V4.
-
If I can figure it out easy enough, I'll try to make a Ripcord to balance out my Raptor.
-
-
I'll sign up for it :)
-
Come on guys - I can almost guarantee there'll be a new champ this year, I've just played SvR2007 for the first time today, and suck at it - the new controls kicked my ass.
-
-
Change the settings to last year - and practice a little.
I got the hang of the new controls - and I hated them.
Oh, and I ordered the trophy today.
-
Did you put my name on it?
-
Alright FINE put me in the running.
But I warn you: I've never played a wrestling game before and I have no create a wrestlers.
-

Do you want me to make Red Green for you. (Your avatar - I don't expect Americans to know who he is.) ;-)
-
I will have you know that I MET Red Green in Des Moines, IA a few years ago. I have a picture of me with him somewhere around here and I got his autograph on a roll of duct tape.
I LOVE his show. I used to watch it nearly everyday. I have 3 of his videotapes and both of his books. I still call duct tape "the handyman's secret weapon".
Oh, and I'm an official part owner of Possum Lodge ;)
-
Hell, I know who Red Green is :wink:
-
You guys know who he is - but I had to explain Timbits at JoeCustoms?
That's just not right! :lol: :timbits:
-
Added Wild Bill.
And this is our list of folks entered so far:
THE Mike?
Morgardee
Scramble
Raptor
MotoViper
Jon S.
Radio Guy
Loop
gsmiley007
Pete The Greek
Viperlord
That's 11 so far.
5 more and we have a 'real' tournament.
Ed? Bryce? Jamie? Aaron?
-
Add Gung Ho (v1) to the list Mike.
-
Does anyone know if you copy over a wrestler, do you get it's create points? It's taken me far too long to build up the 81 points that Raps currently is, and while I'd like to make a joe, he's going to have base points unless I can figure out how to get some more loaded onto him.
Any suggestions?
-
-
I think if you copy them - you can keep the points where they are.
Added Gung Ho - and di a Tele-Viper - yes, I actually found a way to do a helmet w/ glasses on the guys. ;-)
So.... Tele-Viper (1985) has been added.
Making our total characters so far at 20.
I've started work on 4 more of them.
Loop? Did you make your own guy again?
-
Finished today:
Valor vs Vemon Cobra Commander
VvsV Croc Master
Back-Stop
-
I'll try the copy trick with a Ripcord. Since there's really not a lot of options, it shouldn't take long to make at least one joe.
-
-
10 more matches in GM mode until Wrestlemania. ;D Man I can't wait to be done. I'm still winning but just barely now and I keep running out of money. That's what I get for having a stacked show and I still have guys in limbo like Hogan and Piper. I'm going to try to bring them out about 5 weeks before Wrestlemania. I'm not planning on ever planning GM mode again so I only need to hire them for 5 weeks.
-
Valor vs Vemon Cobra Commander
VvsV Croc Master
Back-Stop
Uh oh.... I finished the 1st version of Croc Master.
Take a pic, post it - lets see yours. ;-)
Actually - Morg, Raps, Scramble - take pics of all yours - email them to me.
I'll do a section with them all.
Mike
-
Raps is done at 85 points and I've tweaked him a little. I finished Ripcord tonight at 84 points. Not a lot of effort went into the design, but it's somewhat accurate to the figure given the choices - I had to settle for a stripe down his leg to get the pants to be the right color.
Nobody has cargo pants in the entire WWE??? No self custom of me for that reason alone.
Pictures of a TV screen? How do you accomplish that? I'd get serious glare...
-
-
Also, if I find a few minutes one night this week that I'm not busy, maybe I'll make a "real Life" me. :lol:
-
Pictures of a TV screen? How do you accomplish that? I'd get serious glare...
Exactly what happened when I tried to take a pic of CC. "I" being the opperative word. I'm sure Tank Girl can figure it out.
I'm not super happy with my Croc Master Mike, beyond the skin colour. I'm willing to bet that yours is better. Then again, the file card says this is a totally different Croc Master from the first one. Why settle for only one?
-

I can see that... keep him, and if we don't have 30 different characters by then, we'll have two Crocs. Otherwise we'll flip a coin. ;-)
Mike
-
Getting the points was the hardest part. Maybe I'll take a stab at doing one or two more.
-
-
I did up a "real me" custom, so I guess we can do a fatal 4 way if Jay does himself, or a triple threat between the 3 of us as an exibition match.
-
-
Hey Raps, look at your next post number. Dude, your on the verge of evil. ;D
-
665: Neighbour of the Beast.
-
This is worth ruining my "Cobra La Guard" status for.
I just completed a Big Brawler. His opening alone is worth seeing this guy "come out".
But for the LOVE of GOD do NOT let him get you in his "Finisher". You might lose more than the match if you know what I'm saying.
I may do up a Mutt and maybe a Sure Fire tonight as well. We need jobbers too.
-
-
And Sure Fire is done. I have Sure Fire and Brawler beating each other half to death in a last man standing match.
It's ugly.
Very ugly.
My card contains Raptor, Ripcord, Surefire, Brawler and Me. Brawler is a little under pointed, but maybe it's better that way.
-
-
I've got to update the list soon....
Also, we're not going to use entrances in this.
They seem to take WAY too long to load with CAWs - I'd rather not wait 2 minutes just to see someone walk down an aisle.... but that's me.
Miike
-
Hurray. I won GM mode. I've made my characters between 85 - 91 I think. Might take a shot at make Outback if I get the time.
-
You HAVE to see brawler's entrance. It's worth the load time.
I've also made 2 other real people as guest stars. :shifty:
-
Hurray. I won GM mode. I've made my characters between 85 - 91 I think. Might take a shot at make Outback if I get the time.
91? I topped my guys at 86.
-
Mine are all at 85-86 too.
Mor is a cheater! Cheater I say...
-
-
I have a few random guys at the 90-92 range.
Storm Shadow, Roadblock.
But yeah, most should be under 90 I would think.
-
Bah, I ain't no cheater. I'm not even using any of these guys myself. I wrestle as myself. Besides, I think it's like Snake Eyes and maybe firefly who break the 90 mark.
Now my grudge match with Mike, that dude is a little powerful. ;D
-
But if he's not a board member, or a joe/cobra CAW - then he's out.

I may not have time to 'battle' until later on in the day anyway.
I have 3 tables to watch over and well.... a Joe Meet to run! ;-)
-
We have enough guys to have a few 6 man tags with real people. I say we put those on auto, and let have 'er!
-
