Do Some Guys "Always" Hit Moves For You?

[offspring515]

This started as a discussion in Swarm's fed thread, but Payback seems to always hit the Exvenge for me. Seriously, he probably hits it like 95% of the time despite it being a 50/50 shot of hitting it.

Also, he always seems to hit it as "+6". So my question to you...do you find any guys with roll finishers (from any time period in the GWF/ACE/CPC) to hit their moves more often than others?

[jefft]

Demons of Hydra/Ninja Assassins were able to do their switch routine almost constantly for me. I seriously remember them switching literally dozens of times in a row. At certain times, they were friggin unbeatable. Heck, I specifically remember my jaw dropping a few times because they'd switch nonstop like twenty times in a row over the course of several matches. It was insane.

[sickman]

Same thing for me with Payback. If EXVENGE is rolled, more times than not it is a hit +6.

[bigeasy]

Mayhem hits the LEAP OF DOOM more than 75% of the time. That alone makes him a complete beast in my fed.

[swarm]

Not only does Payback never roll +6 in my fed he damn near always misses it period.

Bloodline always hits +5 or +6 COSMIC BIG BANG for the most part...

Max Shield used to ALWAYS roll +6 for his finisher for me during his legendary run as Champion.

[GalactiKing]

For me, it's the opposite with Payback. If he hits, it's always the +2 or +4. Almost never the +6. Bloodline.....1 or 2.....but when it was 1-4...he was always rolling 5 and 6. Bloodline is cursed in my fed though for some reason.

Same here...LOD was one of the most feared finishers in my fed...and since he was my HeavyMetal Champ he would be coming from the top of the cage.

Bloodline seems to hit either +1 or +6...hardly in between for the CBB...

[Trent Lawless]

The Ninjas held the tag belts for me for three years because they were so good at switching.

Payback's about half and half on the Exvenge for me. I believe Mayhem was the same, also. So I guess I'm the mean in the statistical realm.

[incognito]

Payback seems to hit Exvenge more than he misses for me as well. But, the one person who seemed to always miss his move was Paragon. It was so lopsided, it was actually getting comical by the end.

[Pete]

I can't recall anyone who hit their finisher more than I would expect, but two finishers that never, ever, EVER worked ("never" being a relative term) in my fed: the LEAP OF DOOM and SHOCK WAVE. Shock Wave was particularly brutal because if it backfired, IIRC it was an automatic Pin attempt instead of just L3O. Made Holocaust a total jobber--lost a mini-feud to Vanity because of that move. If I ran an aCe fed I'd fear for the guy's life.

Mayhem had a fine career in spite of it, but the LEAP OF DOOM did for him what the top turnbuckle did for Ric Flair.

[Talison]

Yeah, Payback can't hit EXVENGE for me to save his life.

I guess we statistically cancel each other out. Holocaust always hits SHOCK WAVE for me. He's still nothing more than a midcarder in my fed though.

[traviz]

I don't know if you'd consider this the same thing, but whenever Star Warrior would hit the NOVA LAUNCH, it was pretty much over for his opponent. It became the most feared move in the early days of my GWF because it was nearly always followed by a low dice roll. If the opponent had a PIN of ,say, 3, you could bet that he was gonna roll snake-eyes. The MASTERLOCK, while more powerful, didn't come close to ending as many matches as the NOVA LAUNCH.

[steelthunder814]

In my fed Thantos' MASTERLOCK= Game,Set and Match!!!

[MikeMcKinney]

I'll tell u someone who has never hit his finisher in my fed ever..........

ASPIN NORTHSTAR I do mean never. (he's missed it about 10 times but thats it.)

But Paganax hit PAGAN VOID all the time on level 3 offense...it's just uncanny.

tkx again, the dice dont lie!!

oh yea of the roll finishers, i'd have to say Bloodline hits the most +6 for me.

[stephenvegas]

Although he is only supposed to have a 50% chance of success, Mayhem has hit his LEAP OF DOOM probably over 80% of the time for me. I am currently in 2105 and Mayhem has used his finisher to help him win 1 InterPlanetary Championship and 4 Heavy Metal Championships (he is also my Heavy Metal Champion).

[gatekeeper]

In 2120, Payback's legendary run as champ was aided by his hitting a +6 Exvenge about 95% of the time.

In 2121, he hasn't had nearly the luck and thus his title run came to an abrupt end.

On Bloodline's 2119 card, I would roll a "1" on L3O which was something like Boston crab - 2 -- that would happen all the time and he would roll a "1" and miss his Cosmic Big Bang quite often as well.

He's been much better this year tagging with Encubus.

Holocaust always hit SHOCKWAVE in my fed and was Galaxian Champion more than once...one of my all-time favorites he did very well for me.

His two most memorable fueds were with Janus for the belt which he won...

and a FOTY with Raven as his partner vs. Brute and Massace. Holocaust and Raven ended up running both Gladiators out of my fed which led to the Aethran Civil War.

Multiple Tag Team Champion and Galaxian Champion 2 or 3 times...

One of the best ever in my fed.

[Mr. Jimmyface]

No - every wrestler has had their moves hit or miss in such a way that it made the match that much better. Oh, the fun you have with paper and dice!

That's amazing. I'm up to 2100, and I can't even get Holocaust over against Doomsayer. Does Holocaust get an upgrade later?
