Chris's Introduction
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
My name is Chris, and I'll be your Messiah today; I mean, I'll be one half of
the authors of this guide. Still, if you feel the need to worship me for any
reason, go right ahead! Anyway, I'm a huge fan of the WWE, and I love the
games. In my opinion, this is one of the best ones available, and so I thought
it'd be cool to do a guide for it. Psycho wanted to do a guide for it to, so
we decided to just do it as a co-author. If you have any questions, send them
right over to him! Oh, and make sure to look for me in online play. The name
will be GermanDragon.

Psycho Penguin's Introduction
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
This is Psycho Penguin writing for another wrestling game, this time
Smackdown vs RAW 2006, the newest wrestling game available for PS2. It's about
time a good wrestling game came out this year, after the disappointing
Wrestlemania 21. I'm teaming up with SaiyanPrince this time, so if you have
any questions, send them to him. Happy gaming!

an Elimination match, where when one person loses, their
partner stays in, until all the members of a team are
out. You can also set the matches to be three-on-three,
or to make them table matches, where you lose if you are
put through a table. Finally, you also have the option

Captain, and when he is taken out, the match is over.

Similar to the Triple Threat match, this is a free-for-all
where one man will come out the winner. You can accomplish
this by pinning any of the other three players, or by
making them submit. Again, double team moves work here.
---------------------------------------------------------
Handicap
---------------------------------------------------------
Handicaps are matches where one person, or team, has the
odds stacked against them. The options are, one-on-two,
one-on-three, one-on-tag, one-on-trio, and tag-on trio.
In the one-on-two, and one-on-three matches, all of the
members of the oposing team can enter the ring at the
same time, and any of them can pin the single player for
the win. On the other hand, the single player can pin
any of the oposing team's wrestlers as well. The one-on-
tag, and tag-on-trios are a bit more balanced. In those
matches, players face one-on-one, until a new person is
tagged in; It works just like it does in tag matches.
Still, it is difficult to win, since the other players
on the larger team can enter at any time to break up
pins and submissions -- even though they aren't legal.
---------------------------------------------------------
Royal Rumble
---------------------------------------------------------
In this match, you can set either 10, 15, 20, 25, or 30
men to compete. Then, the match starts one-on-one, with
new men entering every minute or so, with no more than 6
being allowed at any given time. Wrestlers are eliminated
when they are knocked out of the ring. You can irish whip
them to the ropes, and then grapple them to attempt to
knock them out, as you rapidly press buttons to deplete
their resistance meter. If two players grapple someone
on the ropes at the same time, it will drop faster. Also
note, that heavier players take longer to drop, and that
some cruiserweights can be immediately dropped out via
grapple moves from the heavier guys. You can choose the
entrance number of the human characters; Obviously the
final entrant has the advantage. You can also choose to
select Random. This isn't the most balanced match, but
it is fun.
---------------------------------------------------------
Backstage Brawl
---------------------------------------------------------
In this mode, two superstars go one-on-one, in the
backstage area. It is no DQ, and the fight can get pretty
violent. Not only are there a few weapons lying on the
ground, but there are numerous interactive objects in the
room. For example, you can slam your opponent into the
electric box for big damage, or perform environmental
grapples on the soda machine, lunch table, television,
and dumpster. You can also climb onto the top of the soda
machine to perform diving attacks. If you utilize the
environment correctly, you'll do big damage, very fast.
---------------------------------------------------------
Bar Brawl
---------------------------------------------------------
This is a second variation of the Backstage Brawl, taking
place, of course, in a bar room. Once again there are many
features you can use to brutalize your opponent. For
example, the basketball hoop, juke box, and glass bottle
rack all hold environmental grapples. There's also a pool
table that you can dive off of, or put your opponent
through. Furthermore, there's a glass case  on the wall,
that you can put your opponent's head through. As for
weapons, there's a pool stick on the ground, and an
everlasting supply of bottles on a table near the bottom
of the screen. Furthermore, every time you perform an
environmental grapple into the glass case, after the
first time, you'll pick up a baseball bat that for use.
---------------------------------------------------------
Parking Lot Brawl
---------------------------------------------------------
This is the final variation of the Backstage Brawl. This
one takes place in a parkin lot. You can do environmental
grapples on every car in the area, including the ambulance,
and both doors of JBL's limo. For added fun, you can strong
irish whip your opponent into the side of the truck, to
make the grating of it slide open. You can then climb into
the truck, and perform diving attacks off of it, or pick
up the tire axle lying inside of it, for use as a weapon.
Lastly, this match contains a special finisher, that will
cause you to win every time, without fail, if you can
hit it. Store one finisher, then full your momentum bar.
Before it depletes, grapple your opponent, and punch them,
to grab them by the hair. Drag them to the back door of
the limo and press circle. You'll toss them inside, and
then drive into it with another car! Instant KO.
---------------------------------------------------------
Battle Royal
---------------------------------------------------------
This match can be played two ways. Using four-to-six
people, you can either have a Royal Rumble-like match,
where the goal is to toss your opponents out of the ring,
or you can have an elimination match that works via pin
or submission. Either way, the last man standing is the
winner. Be cautious though, as eliminated players do not
leave the arena as they do in the royal rumble. Instead,
they stay just outside of the ring, and can pull at the
legs of players still in the match.
---------------------------------------------------------
Buried Alive Match
---------------------------------------------------------
In this match type, there's a large sand dune at the top
of the entrance ramp. At the top of the pile, is a casket.
The goal is to get your opponent there, irish whip him
to the casket, then grapple him to knock him inside. With
him inside, rapidly press buttons to fill the bar first,
then pull the right analog stick, to close the lid. The
opponent will have one final chance to press R2 at this
time, to escape, but if they don't you'll win. There is
a shovel just outside the casket that you can use for a
weapon. Additionally, there's also a hidden finisher that
will end the match, just like in the Parking Lot Brawl.
Store a finisher, then gain full momentum, and irish whip
your opponent to the casket. Press L1 to end the match;
You're opponent has no chance to block it. Most players
do a Powerbomb into the casket, but a few have their own
finishers as well. AS you can guess, this is no DQ.
---------------------------------------------------------
Elimination Chamber
---------------------------------------------------------
In this match type, there's a large circular dome made of
steel chain, with four glass chambers in the corners. Two
Superstars start in the ring, with four Superstars in the
chambers. Every minute, a new Superstar is released into
the chamber, one at a time. You can either set the order,
or make it random. When Superstars submit, or are pinned,
they'll leave the chamber. The last one remaining is the
winner, so the last one released has the advantage. In
the match, you can climb onto the glass chambers and dive
from there -- Hell, you can even dive from the cageed wall
before you reach the chamber. You can also perform strong
irish whips, to shatter the glass with your opponents body
for big damage.
---------------------------------------------------------
First Blood
---------------------------------------------------------
This is a one-on-one match that encourages violence. You
can't win by submission; You can't win by count out; You
can't win by pinfall. You win when you cause your opponent
to bleed. You can do this one of two ways. Firstly, you
have to do enough damage to their head, so that the damage
icon turns red. Then, you can either nail them with a
weapon (No DQ of course) or you can use a move that can
cause damage. Not all moves do though, so you'd have to
look at the Create-a-Movelist menu to see which ones do.
Most DDTs and Piledrivers work good, though, as do Big
Boots. As far as weapons go, Ring Bells work the best.
---------------------------------------------------------
Fulfill Your Fantasy
---------------------------------------------------------
This match is only for divas. In it, each player has a
fantasy meter, which they have to fill in order to win.
You can't leave the ring in this match type, because
everything you need to fill the meter is inside the ring.
The two biggest meter fillers, are when you take off your
opponent's top, followed by her pants. The more damage
you do, the easier this will be, as they work just like
submissions. Other things that you can do to fill the
meter, is grab pillows off of the bed, and use them as
weapons. You can also irish whip your opponent's diva
to the bed itself, and then spank her to fill it. And
though this doesn't fill the meter, you can climb onto
the bed and do a diving attack from it to inflict damage.
---------------------------------------------------------
Hardcore
---------------------------------------------------------
In Hardcore matches, there's no DQ, and you can be pinned
anywhere. You can make it a Singles match, with or without
managers, a tornado tag match (two or three man, at your
choice), a triple threat or a fatal fourway, or a tornado
tag match with three teams of two. Weapons are encouraged.
---------------------------------------------------------
Hell in a Cell
---------------------------------------------------------
In this match, the ring is surrounded by a huge cage with
a roof. You can either have one-on-one matches, tornado
tag matches, triple threat matches, fatal fourway matches,
or Armageddon -- 6-man -- matches. In the matches, you'll
start in the ring as normal. However, outside of the ring,
you can perform grapples to scrape opponents' face along
the chain. There's a door in the lower left corner of the
cage, that you can unlock by pushing circle towards it
once, and you can go through by pressing a second time.
Outside, there may be a sledgehammer on the ground, as
well as the two announcer tables, depending on arena. You
can utilize both. You can also climb to the top of the
cell. You'll get crazy damage if you fall, or if someone
pushes you off. Strong irish whips work great to knock
opponents off, but grappling them when they are near the
edge also works. Performing a Finisher near the end will
often cause your opponent to be dropped off, while the
user stays, which is an improvement over last year's
game. Be careful though, moves like the RKO still cause
problems... You can perform diving attacks off of the
top as well, but it's very risky, because you'll often
miss. Lastly, if you hit a few grapple moves in the
center of the roof, you'll put your opponent through it,
and they'll fall to the ring below, ready to be pinned.
---------------------------------------------------------
Ironman
---------------------------------------------------------
This is a one-on-one match, with or without managers,
with a time limit. You can set the timer to 10, 15, 20,
30, or 60 minutes. In that time, the person with most
points will be declared the winner. Points are given
when you successfully pin your opponent, make him tap out,
have him counted out by the ref, or when he's disqualified.
Like singles matches, you can change what is allowed on
the match rules screen. You can also choose to allow
interferences or not.
---------------------------------------------------------
Ladder
---------------------------------------------------------
This match can be one-on-one, with managers or without,
tornado tag, triple threat tornado tag, triple threat, or
fatal 4-way. Whichever option you choose, the goal is the
same. Pick up a ladder, bring it to the ring, set it up,
and use it to climb to the belt hanging above the ring.
You can climb ladders, and dive off of them with the X
button, or press circle to grab for the belt. However,
lots of chaos will be going on in this match, due to the
other factors. Two players can climb the same ladders,
and have a brawl at the top of it; all the while, a third
player can tip the ladder over. And when you fall off of
a ladder, there's a good chance you may not even land
in the ring! This is one of the glitchier matches, but
it is usually still pretty fun.
---------------------------------------------------------
Last Man Standing
---------------------------------------------------------
This is a one-on-one, no disqualification match. The goal
is to batter your opponent with so much force that they
can't stand -- at least for ten seconds, while the ref
counts. It may sound easy, but the ref counts somewhat
slow. You probably won't be able to do it without using
weapons, or hitting a few finishers.
---------------------------------------------------------
Slobber Knocker
---------------------------------------------------------
In this match, you'll stay in the ring, facing one
superstar after another until you're defeated. The goal
is to make the high score list, by beating as many as
you can before then. You can either make them tap, pin
them, or even knock them out. All of your moves are
extremely jacked up, and you're opponents will all be
signifigantly weaker. Not only will every other finisher
KO someone, almost any top rope move will be enough to
get a pinfall. Opponent's won't last long. Be careful
though. Although you're moves do alot more damage, it
takes a lot less to put you down for a pin. If you give
up one lucky grapple, and your opponent pins, it may be
over for you.
---------------------------------------------------------
Special Referee
---------------------------------------------------------
Here, you can play the role of a referee in a singles,
tag match, Ironman, Hell in a Cell, or Last Man Standing
match. You don't even lose 98 percent of your strength
like the refs on tv! Square is the universal button for
the ref. It counts for pins and countouts, and calls for
submissions and disqualifications. You don't necessarily
have to be a fair ref though; There's no one to DQ the
ref if he starts dealing finishers, or using weapons.
---------------------------------------------------------
Steel Cage
---------------------------------------------------------
In Cage matches, a large cage extends from the apron on
the four sides of the ring. You win if you can escape the
cage, but you can also turn on pinfalls and submissions
if you like. The match supports singles, tornado tags,
triple threats, and fatal 4-ways. In the free-for-alls,
and singles, the winner is the one who escapes. However
in tornado tag matches, the winning team is the first to
have both of its members escape. That means that when one
man gets out, he leaves his partner in a handicap. As
for actually escaping, there are two ways. First, you can
hit a move -- preferably a special -- then press square
to climb the cage. You'll then press X when the bar fills
to move up. The closer the bar is to being filled, the
faster you'll climb, and the sooner the next bar will
appear. Do this three times to reach the top, then press
square to escape. You can drop back in at any time by
pressing R1; and you should do this if your opponent
gets up, so he doesn't pull you down. The second way to
escape is to get an opponent in the lower-left corner,
and do a grapple. You'll initiate a mini-game where you
both time button presses. If you do a better job then
you're opponent, you'll escape. If not, he'll pull you
back in. You can turn this option off in the options
menu, and in my opinion, doing so makes things far more
enjoyable as a whole.
---------------------------------------------------------
Submission
---------------------------------------------------------
As you can guess, a Submission match is a match where you
can only win via submission. These are only one-on-one,
but there are two variations. Normal matches, where the
first one to score a submission wins, and Ultimate, where
you set a timer to 10, 15, 20, 30 or 60 minutes, and the
player with most submissions at the end is declared the
winner. In this match, you can not exit the ring at all.
---------------------------------------------------------
Table
---------------------------------------------------------
The goal in this type of match, is to put your opponent
through a table. In order to make the matches last longer,
the developers chose to make the tables sturdier in this
type of match. The more damage your opponent has taken,
the easier they will be to put through wood. Although, if
you are persistent, you can do it at any time. You can
either grapple them while holding the table to put them
on top of it, or you can irish whip them at a table that
has already been set up. You can even choose to set the
table up in the corner. With your opponent on a table,
grapple them, to put them through it; If you're opponent
is laying down on it, you can grapple them from the
ground, which will make things even easier. This match
type supports singles, tornado tags, triple threats,
fatal 4-ways, tornado 6-man tag, and triple threat
tornado tags. When one man on a team goes through a table
that team loses.
---------------------------------------------------------
TLC
---------------------------------------------------------
TLC -- Tables Ladders, and Chairs. In this match, many
weapons are strewn about the ring. Some tables are aleady
against the turnbuckles and everything. You win by pin
fall, but as you can guess, the match is designed more
for brutality than a technical display of pure wrestling!
