Completed the VPW2 Grand Championship League, which included @perryvonvicious.bsky.social and Rip Byson. A close league, but one came out on top by 2 points, and became Champion...
New character for the next Project Outsider release. The best version of Mr. Perfect/Curt Hennig. May have been inspired by @ligerbusa.bsky.social and Mongo's Critical podcast

The original Virtual Pro Wrestling, which was later released in the US as WCW vs The World.
THQ would rename most of the “world” wrestlers to avoid licensing issues. So, Hayabusa became Habanero, Ken Shamrock became Sherlock, Muta became Bad Blood, and Sabu became…David Harley?
I played many a Japanese game in my day. VPW2 is the greatest wrestling game of all time, for example.
@akiclub64.bsky.social joins us in the virtual studio to talk his history with the AKI modding community and projects that he's working on. We also get his opinion on various other games in the genre and the current wrestling scene. t.co/XlkTvP5rRR @criticalmongo.bsky.social
Comparison of the text "World Tour" from the WCW vs. nWo World Tour logo, with a recreation using the Confidential font, and the "You Wouldn't Steal A Car" ad campaign text.
I've spent the past two hours trying to find the original font used in the WCW vs. nWo World Tour logo - for the "World Tour" part. Was it worth it? Yes.
"World Tour" uses the font from the "You Wouldn't Steal A Car" piracy campaigns - FF Confidential.

2 complete collections that I can say I'm proud of owning. Every game developed under the "AKI Corporation" banner and every Human/Spike Wrestling game (Majority new/sealed).

Today, we're joined by the great rey to discuss the AKI modding scene, including his upcoming PRIDE FC project. We also talk about, well everything and anything like L.A. Par-K beating up fans, crappy fandoms and The Rock's mutated head. t.co/XlkTvP5rRR @criticalmongo.bsky.social
Today, we are joined by @melonbread1979.bsky.social to share his insights on the AKI series. Additionally, we will delve into discussions on Ultra Pro Wrestling, AEW Fight Forever, Toukon Club, Mat Mania, and Appoooh! @criticalmongo.bsky.social 🤼
RIP Sabu & Steve "Mongo" McMichael

This project needs some bluesky boosting.
In rey's words: "My idea of what an English release would've been if copyright laws didn't exist or they got licenses."
It's rey's rendition of an English translated Virtual Pro Wrestling 2.

Very early progress on additional colour options for attires. Only 3 colours for now. I'll be looking to get the 4th colour working. #VPW2 #BrokenLimits
Turns out it's in the dreamlist already! We need to vote on it. @ligerbusa.bsky.social @criticalmongo.bsky.social @akiclub64.bsky.social

The model for hair type 14 from #WrestleMania2000 is in #VPW2 along with an unused mohawk hair texture. The models for the ponytail and braided hair types (13 and 15 in #WM2000) are also in the game.
"MJF and Will Osprey once again meet to shed each other's blood" - Chris Charlton (not really) .
I think these came out really well.

with the exciting news regarding AKI and @ultraprowrestling.bsky.social i was wondering, who are some of YOUR favourite characters to play in the classic AKI games?

"These games weren't just button mashers, they were like a symphony of strategy, timing, and pure wrestling joy. At the same time, these titles were all easy for anyone to pick up and start playing." #thesportster #wrestlesky www.thesportster.com/ultra-pro-wr...
I wonder how much a brand new/sealed copy would go for. I've seen a sealed version of the standard version on eBay for $700+. Luckily I got a few sealed copies for a hell of a lot less
I think it makes the game play less slowly and allows a good amount more creativity with CAWs.
"The lights went out " - #Gunther after his debut match in The Violent Arts against the #bestboutmachine #akiclub #vpw2 #violentarts #movecraft #wrestling #retrogaming #n64 adding elements like this to try and update the gameplay a bit.
