1.02 - Introduction
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
WCW Nitro is the first WCW game to hit the PlayStation (I think) back in 1997,
and it sucks. Well, you'd be asking "Why the hell would you write for a game
you dislike, Ryan? Wouldn't you have a better time writing for a game you do
like?" Well true, I would have a better time writing for a game I like, but I'm
writing this guide for two reasons, really. One - I am doing lots of wrestling
FAQs and need to bulk my recognition up by doing as many as I can be bothered
with. Two - as EdTheMoogle once said, it's fun to write for a game you hate at
least once - so give it a try.
===============================================================================
2. Game Overview
===============================================================================
The basics of WCW Nitro.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
2.01 - Match Types
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
1P TOURNAMENT: With one player, you can fight through 10 other WCW Wrestlers to
make it to the top to claim the WCW Championship in a string of
singles matches.
1P EXHIBITION: Have one player fight the computer in a one-off match. Does well
as a warm up.
2P VS: You and one of your friends can compete against each other to see who is
better!
1P EXHIBITION TAG TEAM: You can pick two wrestlers to team up and fight two
other wrestlers in a Tag Team match! You can tag your
partner with R2, and two wrestlers (one from each team)
can be in the ring at once. The match is decided by one
fall.
2P VS TAG TEAM: You and a friend compete against each other using your two best
wrestlers in a tag team. Whose team is better? Well, this mode
allows you to find out.

The Options Screen
------------------
Match Length
------------
Select how long you want your match to be. You can have one of the following
time limits:
3:00
5:00
10:00
Unlimited
Ringout Time
------------
How long do you want a countout to last? After the time limit chosen is up,
the wrestler outside the ring will lose by countout.
20 Seconds
40 Seconds
60 Seconds
Unlimited
Difficulty
----------
Obviously, how tough you want the matches to be.
Easy
Normal

With this enabled, another superstar can sometimes ambush you in the ring
while you are fighting. You can toggle it from Yes (default) or No.
Ring
----
Where do you want the match to be held? Regular Nitro, PPV, or have the
computer decide for you?
Random
Nitro
NWO
Slamboree
Souled Out
WCW
Fall Brawl
American Bash
Halloween Havoc
The other options are for configuration. You should be able to understand
what it all means. ;)
The Wrestling Screen
--------------------
+-----------------------------------+
| ========== 10 ========== | You have the wrestlers' names, to
| NASH STING | represent which grapplers are competing.
| | The bars above their names display their
| | health meter. They get worn out as it
| | decreases, and when it is low, it will
| | flash. The number in the middle is the
+-----------------------------------+ match timer.
How to Win Matches
------------------
There are four ways a match is ended to decide a winner. These are what
determine the winner of a match:
TIME-OUT: If the timer fully depletes, the wrestler with most health left wins.
COUNT OUT: If a wrestler stays outside the ring for too long and the count out
reaches the specified number of seconds, they lose by DQ.
PIN FALL: If your opponent is worn down enough and lying down, press Circle to
pin them. A count of 3 is executed by the referee, and if it gets to
three, the wrestler who is pinning wins the match.
SUBMISSION: If a wrestler applies a hold that is so painful and causes the
opponent to tap out, they win the match.

2.03 - FAQs
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Q: Could you send me the move list for the PC version of this game?
A: The PS version sucks so bad I don't think anything could persuade me to get
the PC version of this game, even if I could find it, I probably won't write
for it anyways, sorry.
Q: What's the best thing about this game?
A: Next question.
Q: Hi, I'm from CheatCC...
A: Go away.
