Taka you need to have Dumplin Vs. Rage...PRAISE DEMON GOD DUMPLIN. He who would bring the world to the holy fuckbox...with the voice of the gods...he who speaks the holy word....DADDY!! EMBRACE THE DUMP!!!
Wulfsmasher Same, this game was hype as shit! Me and my friends would stage assets and do insane jumps from them. The best one was placing a table, on another table, on the announcer table, with a ladder on top. That almost made the game glitch the hell out.
Capt. Colonel Koala That is, by far, my favorite piece of Zaibatsu-WWE lore. I *want* it to be true. I *want to believe* that Ric Flair is an immortal Babylonian King, who wrestled all the great civilizations across time. I want him to have wrestled the pharaohs when the pyramids were young. I want him to have wrestled with the samurai of the Tokugawa shogunate. I want him to have wrestled ancient Vikings. Ric Flair is forever.
LittleMountain90 FOOL! Flair wrestled chaos itself at the beginning of time... To this day we memorize his accomplishment by calling it... The big bang... WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
It was so weird seeing Taka as a Vtuber because before I realized he was in Team Four Star I just knew him as "That guy that did the Rustlemania intro."
Seriously? The body charts clearly indicating where the wrestlers are taking damage, and the health is "unclear"? "Chris Benoit is gaining health"? I thought Pat was the one who had no peripheral vision.
thatonedude675 And they all have terrible "reading the fucking manual" and "remembering the fucking tutorials" skills. You'd think with all the ridiculous create a characters they've made for the intro, they would know how to check the fucking move sets by now.
brainflash1 But it's not clear in wrestling games how much damage, "Oh shit you're head and body is red" ok those parts are damage, but where's the actual "health" bar? in the game Ric flair litterally got smashed on his head on the first round for like 10 minutes, and he was still fine, it's not clear enough, and jesus, calm your tits, it's a wrestling game.
SmudgesTheRoom I wouldn't mind so much if they weren't complaining about things that are obvious. There are no health bars because you're not actually trying to kill your opponent. You need to damage body parts so to make sure your opponent can't escape submission moves or pins. This is not hard to figure out, and these guys play video games for a *living*. Is it too much to ask that they at least be as competent as I am?
brainflash1 Go back and check the first Rustlemania, there are rules to abide to: No tutorials or manuals will be read, the only exception was SvsR 2007. All wrestlers are dead, even the ones that are not. And the most important, always pick Benoit when available.
Brady's RUclips of things well as they mentioned earlier in the video they didn't have the manual, and they usually never study these games before playing it usually relying on memory if they have any...but yeah I was hoping beyond hopes that someone would have tried a diagonal down strike and do the Gut kick and realize THAT'S the finisher set up for all front finishers oh well still a good effort I guess lol
Back when Rick Flair was a crewmen on Edward Kenways "Jackdaw" He developed a form of Hemorrhoids which, when properly stimulated, secrets a liquid you smear across your eye brows. Granting eternal life. Which became the basis of the Fountain of Youth myth.
Finish prompt flashes at least three times for Patt's character during the match when someone else has put their opponent into a groggy state for him. "I have not seen that special prompt appear ONCE!" - Patt
I remember putting so many hours into this game on the old PS2, this one was one of the few that felt somewhat more realistic, yet maintained that perfect fun balance.
There was a point in this video where Benoit became the ultimate troll, he was hitting pat with just about every single move that would triggered his finsher. But the only thing that was triggered in the end was me.
Alex Davis Needs more Mickie James. You guys remember that actually interesting Crazy Lesbian Stalker angle between Mickie James and Trish Stratus? I wish the Divas had more storylines like that rather than "Let's fight for no raisins!"
I'm amazed that when Ric Flair blades blood still comes out. When he blades his face should just be covered in dust, scarab beetles, and the souls of his defeated opponents.
Chris Merkel Studios That's actually an easy grapple to do. I don't remember the exact circumstances to do it, but I remember doing it a lot because it was one button plus a direction. But yeah, it's one HELL of a move.
It's one thing when you have Takahata cutting a promo, but when the game starts with Chris Benoit and Ric Flair power struggling, You know you're in for a fucking ride!
Imo the hud was better. The later games try to be so realistic they forget it's a damn video game. Put it like this, here comes the pain let you jump off Times Square onto cars which blew up. The 2k games probably don't even have outside areas anymore
Shy Guy Better question is why is this zombie who we dont know fighting a mummy when it should just be the mummy vs the zombie vs that yellow bandana guy...what was his name? holk hugan? bulk cugan? york morgan? ah whatever
Here I am laughing my ass off because Chris Benoi kills himself and then Ric Flair decides he isn't dead enough so he takes a sledge hammer and continues to murder him. Holy shit thank you.
Liam going for the 6th spot during the Elimination chamber. Best Heel ever. Liam changing that at the last second and choosing clean instead of dirty. Best faceturn on the channel.
Ya know what I miss? Best Friends Brawl. I know that Friday Night Fisticuffs/Saturday Morning Scrublords basically replaced it, but I liked seeing them play non-fighting games against each other as well.
Their mic are precise enough that its possible to always pinpoint where which one is sitting... it's weird though, when matt says "rope break" from the far right and the sound resonates in my neck and makes me shiver :'/
the whole time i was screaming out TOE KICK! TOE KICK! its when you hold down left and down on the d-pad at the same time to kick your opponent to stun him. every character in the game has this move to make the finishers more easier
GUYS THIS IS SO FRUSTRATING SEEING YOU FAIL AT FINISHERS YOU HAVE TO PRESS X WHILE MOVING DIAGONAL DOWN RIGHT/LEFT TO DO A GROGGY ATTACK KICK. ITS BEEN IN EVERY GAME SINCE JUST BRING IT FFS
I know many wrestling game fans also remember Day Of Reckoning 2 when they brought the amazing Submission system!. For any wrestling game fans out there who have kind of given up on wrestling games, I say take a look at WWE2k16 when it comes out. They're bringing that back and finally doing a big UI overhaul.
One quick Google search revealed that the dirty and clean meters are heel and face. It is a really cool system. High face meter means you can become unstoppable, get more supers, and take more punishment. While high heel meter get to do things like cheat moves, rule ignores, and brutal attacks.
+TheSw1tcher The Dirty and Clean meters are both filled in different ways. You fill the clean one by taunting and doing dives, and filling it completely gives you temporary invincibility (you reverse every move and your moves are more powerful). You fill the dirty one by being an asshat, and filling it gives you the ability to do a really powerful low blow finisher. Also, the health is represented by the diagram of the guy on the corners of the UI
Down + foward + X is a kick to the gut, which is a sure set-up for the finisher, or irish whip into turnbuckle, run and strike, opponent is groggy, finisher. OR, grab, Irish whip, but before they let go, hit x. It should be that weird spin on the opponent type throw, finisher.
"All these takes Taka shot are shit, Which do we use!?"
"ALL OF THEM"
Where in the world were you guys in the same place at some event?
takahata101 You look like my female chemisty teacher, its great.
MrGMoney1944 probably Too Many Games
takahata101 Don't worry, we still love you babe.
Taka you need to have Dumplin Vs. Rage...PRAISE DEMON GOD DUMPLIN. He who would bring the world to the holy fuckbox...with the voice of the gods...he who speaks the holy word....DADDY!! EMBRACE THE DUMP!!!
I played this game nonstop for a year, it's the fuckin best
Wulfsmasher Music's pretty good too.
Benny Trinh Honestly the best licensed soundtrack the series ever had. Maybe next to 2010's though, that one was great too.
Wulfsmasher Same, this game was hype as shit! Me and my friends would stage assets and do insane jumps from them. The best one was placing a table, on another table, on the announcer table, with a ladder on top. That almost made the game glitch the hell out.
God the memories I played the shit out of this :D
fuk u
Only in the WWE can we see an immortal Eldritch mummy man wrestle something that doesn't exist in time and space.
20:18 -A historic image of the Ancient Babylonian king Ric Flair atop his Ziggurat
I ded
Capt. Colonel Koala That is, by far, my favorite piece of Zaibatsu-WWE lore.
I *want* it to be true.
I *want to believe* that Ric Flair is an immortal Babylonian King, who wrestled all the great civilizations across time.
I want him to have wrestled the pharaohs when the pyramids were young. I want him to have wrestled with the samurai of the Tokugawa shogunate. I want him to have wrestled ancient Vikings.
Ric Flair is forever.
The 3000 years of experience proved too much for Chris Benoit, even when he didnt try to silence the voices.
LittleMountain90 It turns out that Gilgamesh is just Ric Flair's street name.
LittleMountain90 FOOL!
Flair wrestled chaos itself at the beginning of time...
To this day we memorize his accomplishment by calling it... The big bang...
WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
It's now headcanon that Liam's finisher is called The Beautiful Nightmare.
ZanraiKid Sounds like Dimitri's Midnight Bliss.
Hmm, strangely appropriate.
***** His Finisher turns whatever he touches into a totally 18 loli
Or maybe that's his Stand
itsacharcoalice Boy, you know Liam's stand is Warren.
ZanraiKid Pat's finisher is called Baby Ashley's Lullaby. It's a crossface.
ZanraiKid No, it's called The Azure Dream.
When you play as Chris Benoit, you should just be able to viciously murder all of your opponents with steroids.
Mr.Beast Rebel of the Hellscape What do think the Crossface did? Do you not you know he won a triple threat match against his familiy?
Carlos Moreno hahahaha oh god why am i laughing so hard
Good thing hell isn't real, otherwise we'd all be going to it.
Mr.Beast Rebel of the Hellscape
Using Benoit in a ladder match has him bringing a rope as he climbs up the ladder.
Mr.Beast Rebel of the Hellscape Attacking with steroids? I have the mental image of someone throwing syringes and needles like in NARC.
So the end of rustlemania is going to be a Bra and panties match between Liam and Woolie right?
Woolie can even wear his JoJo boxers!
+Broly-Chan why am i sickeningly wanting this to happen?
Broly-Chan With Matt as special guest referee in a man thong with the punisher skull over his junk
Noobie2k7 And Pat wears as much clothes as possible.
Broly-Chan those jojo boxers are hot stuff. i want some pairs for myself.
It was so weird seeing Taka as a Vtuber because before I realized he was in Team Four Star I just knew him as "That guy that did the Rustlemania intro."
Seriously? The body charts clearly indicating where the wrestlers are taking damage, and the health is "unclear"? "Chris Benoit is gaining health"? I thought Pat was the one who had no peripheral vision.
brainflash1 Pat has horrible peripheral vision, Matt just has bad "knowing obvious things" vision
thatonedude675 And they all have terrible "reading the fucking manual" and "remembering the fucking tutorials" skills.
You'd think with all the ridiculous create a characters they've made for the intro, they would know how to check the fucking move sets by now.

All wrestlers are dead, even the ones that are not.
And the most important, always pick Benoit when available.
I was just continuously yelling, "DO THE GUT KICK!"
The frustration was real.
***** yes it was. Tho they didn't even understand they had modifiers to their basic attacks. It's down X Pat just press Down X!
Brady's RUclips of things well as they mentioned earlier in the video they didn't have the manual, and they usually never study these games before playing it usually relying on memory if they have any...but yeah I was hoping beyond hopes that someone would have tried a diagonal down strike and do the Gut kick and realize THAT'S the finisher set up for all front finishers oh well still a good effort I guess lol
THANK YOU
Or y'know. Just know to press the L1 button when the character is in a groggy state. But that's more for experts who spend time with the game.
Back when Rick Flair was a crewmen on Edward Kenways "Jackdaw" He developed a form of Hemorrhoids which, when properly stimulated, secrets a liquid you smear across your eye brows. Granting eternal life. Which became the basis of the Fountain of Youth myth.

Takahata~ TALKS TO MUCH
Philloboy123 BOTCHAMANIA *clap clap clapclapclap*
Philloboy123 He talks about people,
he doesn't even know,
he talks places,
he's never been (to).
Philloboy123 He never shuts up.
Philloboy123 Who's Much?
TheDazdndcunfusd
I SAID YOU TALK TOO MUCH!
There was a point in this video where Benoit became the ultimate troll, he was hitting pat with just about every single move that would triggered his finsher. But the only thing that was triggered in the end was me.
Christ Liam, that's as sharp as it is dark.
So is the first fight the man who died too soon vs the man who just won't die?
Which one is which?
Edith White Yes.
"Nobody likes Torrie"
Unsubscribed, disliked, reported to the FBI.
Also get ready to throw your vegetables specially grow for this occasion.
Alex Davis Needs more Mickie James.
You guys remember that actually interesting Crazy Lesbian Stalker angle between Mickie James and Trish Stratus?
I wish the Divas had more storylines like that rather than "Let's fight for no raisins!"
Super, SUPER glad Rustlemania is back. These are some of your finest LP's to date.
Why is Spinal fighting Kan Ra in the beginning of this wrestling video?
I'm amazed that when Ric Flair blades blood still comes out. When he blades his face should just be covered in dust, scarab beetles, and the souls of his defeated opponents.
the souls of the damned from Indiana Jones deep from his pores
Benoit, go home and be a family man...
No, wait... NO.
These intros are making me feel a lot better about the embarrassing wrestling promos I taped me and my friends doing when we were 12-13.
This episode had everything.
29:16 SOMEONE WEBM THIS!!! THAT SHIT WAS FUCKING INTENSE!!!!
Chris Merkel Studios It's like I was really watching NXT.
Chris Merkel Studios That's actually an easy grapple to do. I don't remember the exact circumstances to do it, but I remember doing it a lot because it was one button plus a direction. But yeah, it's one HELL of a move.
The move is called "Cruiserweight Moves"
It's one thing when you have Takahata cutting a promo, but when the game starts with Chris Benoit and Ric Flair power struggling, You know you're in for a fucking ride!
why are all the ps2 wwe games amazing and all the next gen games lame?
hhheeeccckkk526 because these have chris benoit
#BRINGBACKBENOIT
WWE PS2 games were more arcade and fun.
Imo the hud was better. The later games try to be so realistic they forget it's a damn video game.
Put it like this, here comes the pain let you jump off Times Square onto cars which blew up. The 2k games probably don't even have outside areas anymore
hhheeeccckkk526 I like most of them but Just Bring It used up half your memory card and SvR 2007 is where wrestling games went to shit.
Rockerbeck You what? 2007 was one of the best! The grapple controls was the shit!
Lol wow, I just burned a DVD-R to play this game on my PS2 yesterday. I adore this game, so many great memories
Damn man, emulators exist
That intro is gold
Go home and be a family man
I fucking nearly spit out my soda
I think Takahata needs to learn.....
Promo 101 YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Galacticdscool still a better promo than brock lesnar's
***** LETS DO THISSSSSSSSSS!
Woolie pins as much as he lies.
Nobody's stronger than Benoit.
Not even his own family.
Wrestlemania'S trip: Unrustled and Undressed
WOOLIE HAS RED HAIR?!?!?!?! SO HIS FAVORITE COLOR IS RED NOW??? SHOCKING.........
You can salt with all the colors of the rainbow~
You can lie with all the flavors of a pie~
His hair was always red. Like the majestic sloth however he usually has a good coat of algae and fungus growing in his hair. Hence the green
Woolie's attitude era...
TheMasterquif someone must have killed him and now it the now Woolie, the previous one was Great Black Otaku
I don't want to live on this planet anymore.
Ancient spirits of evil, transform this decayed form to RIC FLAIR!! THE EVER-LIVING!!!!
Liam bringing out the zingers for Rustlemania.
It's technically my favorite wrestling game, though I love the ones where you can make your own finishers.
Why is King Tut in the ring fighting nobody at the start
Shy Guy Better question is why is this zombie who we dont know fighting a mummy when it should just be the mummy vs the zombie vs that yellow bandana guy...what was his name? holk hugan? bulk cugan? york morgan? ah whatever
+Linkmasterson Ho Kogan was his name, I think.
What does Woolie know about Street Anatomy? Come on man.
"Benoit has killed himself"
Uh.. Yeah Liam, yes he has.
Less than two minutes in, Liam showing Matt how to properly gasp
Little known fact, the character from Mummies Alive called Scarab was inspired by an ancient Egyptian image depicting Ric Flair!
Here I am laughing my ass off because Chris Benoi kills himself and then Ric Flair decides he isn't dead enough so he takes a sledge hammer and continues to murder him. Holy shit thank you.
I miss this
Dude.. I would do anything to be in the timeline where Thesw1tcher never changed... but we instead get Covid.
The best timeline has all four beat friends unitez
Way to completely fail my expectations yet again Patrick.
The best of Smackdown vs Raw series
Immediately when the game begins:
Chris Benoit
CLEAN
I almost gave myself a concussion when my head hit the table.
"Benoit Go Home And Be A Family Man!"
- Liam Senpai
the early point of this game series was awesome, toe to toe with the smackdown games!
awww sheeett i remember playing this game ages ago this is one of the best ones
Triple H hates playing Quake Arena because of all the quad damage in that game!
Takahata looks a lot like Dwayne Johnson when he smiles..
Wait a minute.. I've never seen Takahata and The Rock in the same room before.
45:18 Cena just used D4C to go to a timeline where he didn't get pinned! That explains so much.
This game is so hype.
Those last 5 minutes though.... wow! I forgot how hype a Triple H Vs Kane fight can be sometimes! That fight was legendary!
Liam going for the 6th spot during the Elimination chamber. Best Heel ever.
Liam changing that at the last second and choosing clean instead of dirty. Best faceturn on the channel.
Not 5 seconds in and Liam is already using his Gasp tech to break Matt.
Liam has so many good lines in this.
Reminds me of Garouden breakblow, except with Woolie not winning all the time as easily as he did in that game.
The thumbnail for this video is seriously the best thing ever
I spent sooo much time on this game holy shit, it's great
Man so far Rustlemania 2 has been amazing, this video made me laugh my ass off multiple times, keep it up guys!
wow the game mechanics on this is actually pretty good.
not a big fan of wrestling but im getting hype watching this.
>"This match needs to get dirtier."
>Neck snap
God damn it Woolie.
Smackdown vs Raw was actually my favorite WWE game. THE MUSIC WAS AWESOME.
Absolutely loving rustlemania. Please, never stop the rustle!
Ya know what I miss? Best Friends Brawl.
I know that Friday Night Fisticuffs/Saturday Morning Scrublords basically replaced it, but I liked seeing them play non-fighting games against each other as well.
I like how this one just jumped straight into the game. It's like "fuck you preamble, we don't need your shit."
Their mic are precise enough that its possible to always pinpoint where which one is sitting... it's weird though, when matt says "rope break" from the far right and the sound resonates in my neck and makes me shiver :'/
Easily one of the best episodes this year.
the whole time i was screaming out TOE KICK! TOE KICK! its when you hold down left and down on the d-pad at the same time to kick your opponent to stun him. every character in the game has this move to make the finishers more easier
This intro is great. Takahata delivers. But the episode is also great. Zaibatsu delivers.
"can you even afford to pay me!?"-takahata101
Yoooo! This game from 2005 makes me miss the 90's.
Such a great game
this is my fav wrestling game ever made
GUYS THIS IS SO FRUSTRATING SEEING YOU FAIL AT FINISHERS
YOU HAVE TO PRESS X WHILE MOVING DIAGONAL DOWN RIGHT/LEFT TO DO A GROGGY ATTACK KICK.
ITS BEEN IN EVERY GAME SINCE JUST BRING IT FFS
Once again, Pat losses to the Zaibatsu with Triple H failing to deliver the finishers. Only the sacrifice of Pat's Vita can restore his honor
By 2004, WWE was in the Ruthless Aggression era.
The way Liam says "M E X I C A N" just cracks me up
I know many wrestling game fans also remember Day Of Reckoning 2 when they brought the amazing Submission system!. For any wrestling game fans out there who have kind of given up on wrestling games, I say take a look at WWE2k16 when it comes out. They're bringing that back and finally doing a big UI overhaul.
One quick Google search revealed that the dirty and clean meters are heel and face. It is a really cool system.
High face meter means you can become unstoppable, get more supers, and take more punishment.
While high heel meter get to do things like cheat moves, rule ignores, and brutal attacks.
Wow, this game is even better than I remember it!
These are the best wrestling mechanics I've ever seen.
Woolie is well-learned on what makes good hometown. "You can see it from the front if it's good enough." Props.
RUSTLE~MANIA!!! *Schlick~Schlick~Schli-Schli-Schlick!!!*
Undead's brother?!
The shlickining! tis not oil the wrestlers be using!
Robo-Brinks WHO?!
HB791 Nevah evah
Undead Soul95 I can assume all of us are very moist.
Don't try it Ric I have the high ground!
+TheSw1tcher The Dirty and Clean meters are both filled in different ways. You fill the clean one by taunting and doing dives, and filling it completely gives you temporary invincibility (you reverse every move and your moves are more powerful). You fill the dirty one by being an asshat, and filling it gives you the ability to do a really powerful low blow finisher.
Also, the health is represented by the diagram of the guy on the corners of the UI
when takahata kept fucking up i was hoping someone would yell dammit nappa!
Down+Right+X button...
Never forget...
#PedigreeGate
OMG this game me and my brother made SOOOOOO many create wrestlers that are just amazing.
Ah the memories, this game was my damn childhood.
I think this is my favorite Rustlemania 2 video. Best intro, best game, Bra and Panties, salty Pat.
AMAZING EPISODE, holy shit do I love a good Rustle
I hope once they get Mega 64 for the intros Rocco just takes a shit in front of the camera and insults Pat.
36:46, look at that Mac screensaver!
49:23 is most unexpected. Counters, then...
The quick animation was hilarious.
Down + foward + X is a kick to the gut, which is a sure set-up for the finisher, or irish whip into turnbuckle, run and strike, opponent is groggy, finisher. OR, grab, Irish whip, but before they let go, hit x. It should be that weird spin on the opponent type throw, finisher.
This is the rustling that I wanted, NO, needed!
THAT RIC FLAIR BENOIT MATCH WAS AMAZING! DEAR GOD!
