Free DLC Honkey Tonk Man and the Dusty / Dashing Cody Rhodes DLC pack is out on PSN for $ 1.99.

so how’s honky tonk man?

All ladders are the same. You get 2000Hogan alternate the first time you beat it, you get nWo the second time you beat the path with Hogan.

Damn it, why do I have to find out now.

Double posting for impressions:

Not sure about Honky’s shtick. Seems to have some illegal moves I guess.

Dusty has fast chain combos last forever.

Cody has a really unique charged strike he can throw into chains. It auto rope springs him. REALLY fun :smiley:

IM BACK!!!

And im about to get back to work.

Also, in a shocking turn of events (well not that shocking seeing as how 360 is slow) I am now TEAM SMACKDOWN!

yeah

Sweet, glad to hear it.

About the 360 being slow, do you mean for WWE All-Stars load times or something else? I’m just curious because pretty much my only major gripe with this game is the awful load times (currently playing on PS3). :stuck_out_tongue:

I mean about updates and such lol. It all started with the Austin kick/stunner update. Then the DLC. I still had a valid receipt so I switched out. Im not a very patient person when it comes to things like that lol.

Had a chance to play with the new DLC last night.

I’d say my favorite of the bunch is Dusty Rhodes.
His speed and strength make him shine against virtually any of the other wrestlers in All Stars.

Honky Tonk Man is a lot of fun and has some really humorous heel tricks up his sleeve.

Didn’t spend much time with Cody but it seems that he is a favorite amongst the All Stars community.

I’d say $1.99 for 2 DLC characters is a hell of a deal considering that Capcom asks $5 each for the 2 MVC3 DLC characters and $15 for SSF4 AE DLC (4 “new” fighters).

Kudos to THQ for providing quality DLC, at a great price! I was worried that all DLC Superstars/Legends would be rush jobs with recycled move sets. I’m very happy with All Stars and must confess that, to me, this game blows Marvel 3 away!

I dont know about anyone else, but I was able to redeem my Million Dollar Pack on PS3 this morn. It isnt up in the store but I fought a ranked match against someone who had Jr. so I figured I would try it. I put the code in and there they are.

I wish The Million Dollar pack was available to everyone. However, I’ve read on the official WWE All Stars forum that the Dibiases’ won’t be available for purchase for 3 months. Oh well, I’d rather wait three months and pay $1.99 for the pack than deal with sleazy Gamestop.

Milan

Yup. All 5 characters are available on PS3 now.

what do you guys think about Swagger? Maybe it’s just me but his HG chains do lots of damage. Seemingly more so then the other grapplers.

Looking at his moveset and whatnot, I think The All American American will be overlooked but has amazing potential.

Dusty is awesome, I regularly hit 6 hits into juggle for 6 more hits, into a grounded elbow for a big damage combo.

AMERICAN DREAM! Dusty is a combo fiend like Sheamus. Except Sheamus’ irish hammer is way good.

DAshing’s Charge Strike beautiful Disaster kick is awesome. Instant corner.

For me though, Hulk Hogan is where the power lies. I’ve been using Eye Rake counter better. Dude Atomic Drop into Legdrop is just as deadly as MAcho’s Atomic Drop->Elbow drop

that may be, because Smackdown is not a fighting game, but a wrestling simulator. Play it like I do with my bro and cousins and it is fun. Well 2006 was the best out of the bunch. And Day of Reckoning 2 shits on smackdown.

THis is quite possibly the most fun i’ve had with a fighting game since CVS2 and Soul Calibur. Honestly. This game is probably the fighting game of the year. I hope it finds its way into these “majors” especially since the pro players are playing this game.

Honestly the game is friggin awesome. I hope Smackdown adopts a similar engine.

is the Honkey Tonk man and the American Dream pack coming to XBL?

next week.

awesome and thank you sir.

I’m having a LOT of trouble against the instant signature moves, especially Edge’s wheel kick. Do you guys have any tips on how you handle that in-match? It just seems to go so far and start up so quick, I’m definitely getting owned by it right now
