Final Fire Pro Complete - Change of direction

I've spent the last few days thinking about this project. I make a save for every game/group of games and I have Super Tiger crop up in most of them I've put together. Why? So I'm consistent? So I have every wrestler from that group on one save? 


Well my change in direction is having a save per style or promotion. The reasons:

• Fewer save packs if I stick multiple style/promotions together
• No repetitiveness in saves e.g. Super Tiger, Enson Inoue cropping up in every save
• More freedom for extras.

Today I've been reorgnaising the MMA/Worked MMA save. I've completed most of them from the PCe games right through to 6MS and G. I've also thrown in a few extras from various places:

1. Super Tiger
2. Dick Vrij
3. Chris Dolman
4. Yuko Miyato
5. Masaaki Satake
6. Andy Hug
7. Maurice Smith
8. Manabu Yamada
9. Randy Couture
10. Valentijn Overeem
11. Akira Shoji
12. Caol Uno
13. Katsumi Usuda
14. Dan Severn
15. Enson Inoue
16. Rumina Sato
17. Brian Johnston
18. Hans Nymnas
19. Guy Mezger
20. Kenichi Yamamoto
21. Tony Halme
22. Mike Bernardo
23. Takeshi Ono
24. Brock Lesnar (MMA)
25. Wataru Sakata
26. Hidehiko Yoshida
27. Bob Sapp
28. Ryushi Yanagisawa*
29. Katsuyori Shibata*
30. Matt Ghaffari
31. Dan Bobbish*
32. Fedor Emelienen*
33. Kevin Randleman*
34. Quinton Jackson*
35. Musashi*
36. Katsuhiko Ogasawara*
37. Willie Williams
38. Tatsuo Nakano
39. Rocky Balboa
40. Batman
41. Robin
42. Terrible Ted

* To Complete

So that is MMA-style fighters from PCe, SNES, FPG, 6MS, FPD, Official Edit, FPZ and FPR, plus some of the default wrestlers from SFPWS&X giving a total of 42. I've also added in Brock Lesnar from a previous save I created. I'm off work for the next few weeks now, so I'm hoping to have this save finished soon and some others up ASAP.


Thank you too for the congratulatory comment last post :)

Final Fire Pro Anthology Saves

After my most recent patch, I've decided to throw myself in to saves and edits again. One of my goals was to port every single wrestler ever to appear in Fire Pro to FFPW. Obviously there is a limit of edit slots that will hinder this but I was thinking of splitting the project in to several saves:


Human Save: 1989 - 1994
Human Save: 1995 - 1999
Human Save: Fire Pro G
Human Save: Joshi Pro (All Joshi games)
Spike Save: Portable (WonderSwan, Fire Pro A, 2 and Final)
Spike Save: Fire Pro D
Spike Save: Fire Pro D - Official Edits
Spike Save: Fire Pro Z
Spike Save: Fire Pro R (I don't know how many saves this will be made of but a fair few)


It's going to take a fair while to put it together but it's something I've wanted to do since I found the Fire Pro Wrestling Complete. The obvious start for me is the portable save, I just need to tidy up the one I give away with the patch. 


I'm also doing similar with R, I'm making slow progress because me and the Mrs are currently fighting for the TV (Bought Skyrim last week :P). Anyway, I'll keep you all posted, any suggestions or ideas, please let me know.


I'm also still keen to accept edit requests. If anyone has any, please post them here or PM on FPC.

Back on the 'net

Well it's been a few weeks for me without the Internet and it turns out keeping this blog has kept me focused on Fire Pro. I've written at least 10 entries in the last few weeks that I couldn't post because the blogger app I have is poo so I'll get all two of my followers up to speed...

First of all, I moved in to my new house at the start of September. It's near enough the opposite side of town but it was still a pain to drive. I'm closer to work and my gym now so that's all good. I no longer live in a basement looking out in to a possible Fallout 3 location. The house needs some care but we got out the old person smell (I'm certain someone has died here in the last 5 years). Three days after moving in I was back at work... sigh!

I focused a lot on cleaning up Fire Pro during September. I bought myself a nice little "Sonic the Hedgehog" notebook to write in to remind myself what I need to fix and do. My biggest problem was the glitched animation stuff with the press slam. This is all fixed now. I've also switched around costumes and made a couple of other minor changes. I hope to have a patch out as soon as I've fixed this dodgy leg stuff (See the Portable forum on FPC).

I spent some free time in October play testing. Very unlike me as I would normally just release the patch and hope for the best. This allowed me to fix additional bits and add to my notebook. I wonder how full my notebook would be if I'd kept one from the start? It would probably be full of cartoon pictures of Stan Hansen lariating my PGCE tutor...

I've also got back in to watching wrestling again. Between translating a wrestling game and being a pro-wrestler, you I found I stopped enjoying watching wrestling so much. This month I re-watched the IWA King of the Deathmatch, Best of Kenta Kobashi and disc two of the Tiger Mask collection. IWA was fun. The first time I watched it I was 16 and had just started looking outside WWE and WCW for stuff to watch. I bought a VHS off of eBay for about £3 and watched the thing in one sitting with a pack of beef jerky (This is a luxury in England as it is usually about £3 a bag!). I watched the Tiger Mask DVD as I'd bought it weeks before Misawa passed away and hadn't touched in since.

In other news I've been dead lifting like mad since August. My goal was to hit 200kgs before the end of October, that's about 441lbs or one Rikishi Phatu, or two and a half Rey Mysterio Jr's. Between moving, flu and a few weeks on full body training I don't think I'll make it. At my best I got to 180kgs for 5 reps. No one dead lifts in my gym really and I think it's an awesome exercise. A power lifter helped me tidy up my technique a few years back so hopefully I don't screw my back up.

Back to Fire Pro. My most recent projects have been trying to complete Management of the Ring with a created promotion, not an easy task. I've also started playing with FPR again. I downloaded a few awesome packs a while ago but I may realise my dream of creating a Fire Pro save that contains everyone from every Fire Pro game ever. In terms of stuff I may actually do, I'm going to start working a logos again. No promises but if anyone would like to help, please let me know.

All the best,

TM
