SmackDown Vs Raw 2008’s version of Sweet Chin Music was definitely my favorite! The way they designed Shawn falling over backwards on top of his opponent was perfectly animated.

[@DaddyBoo69]

I so agree. I miss moves that are perfectly animated to Pin. (Or at least Option to Pin) . My favorite is JBL's Clothesline From Hell from Smackdown vs Raw 2010

[@dr.loomis4221]

When I saw him do this in WWE 2K23 I was so happy

[@FreemindRicochet]

[@justin200310068]

2010 best one

[@freshmcflyy3475]

Tell me about it.!!!! Frog splash had mad air and animation

[@FreemindRicochet]

“The ring is alive with the sound of music.” Classic

Looked forward for hearing that on Svr 06

[@waynetech10]

I was hoping that would be in the video. 😂

Do you have a plan to bring back the SVR Sweet Chin Music Dutch?

Dam right . Those 2 games we're something else . Good times . Being a kid and playing these games . When times were simple .

[@theungreatkahli]

And the entrance creation stuff was so cool in there compared to a lot of the SvR games of that era.

[@royellis5119]

Here comes the pain is still the best wrestling game ever hands down

[@sketchy4383]

That and The first Smackdown Vs Raw!!!!!

[@AintFredoYou]

In DOR2 you could hit it running too. I loved the mechanics of that game sooo much. Best gameplay for me growing up

[@brandogg]

DOR2 is excellent

[@PhilMante]

DOR2 was an underrated treasure. A treasure I was blessed to have played more than any other game.

[@SpinningbacKFisT]

Why do I prefer the older games. They're more fun...

Will always prefer arcade style over realistic simulators

[@NonAssigned]

@@Metronicle22 lol not sho either just dope

[@quanflvcko186]

I hope they add a corner SCM with a pin option like they used to have 🤦🏽‍♂️. I’ve been waiting on a new animation for years.

[@James-xf6ov]

Im with you on that

[@offthegridbutonyoutube548]

Facts, with a static motion. Idc if somebody gotta warp in the middle of the ring. Having to take more than 2 steps before kicking breaks realism more than anything

[@dr.loomis4221]

It's in there you just have to hit R2+X+Square

[@DonDeLem]

What really bothers me is that he continues to stomp the ground even when the opponent is already turned around. He should start the shimmy animation before the opponent turns around and the kick should be landing as soon as they've done so.

[@Weednimbus]

Y'all are extremely picky 😭

[@DarlinaLTesh]

Funny, as soon as the games went to 2k, the OOMPH of the impact was gone. As well as the epic camera angles and effects. (This goes for all finishers, tho.)

[@gp6589]

Here comes the pain. Peak wwe gaming 🤷🏾‍♂️

PEEAAAK!!! Top 3 3.Know your role 2 2.Shit your mouth 1.Here comes the pain

[@denny9437]

The sounds of him tuning up the band from svr06 and the sound of the kick in svr07 is a PERFECT Sweet Chin Music i love the strut after the kick too I miss that they should put it back , they took away Swag of the finishers they look so robotic now 😊

[@claay832]

plus the superkick is also is doable as a signature move.. press back plus x while running

Biggest Addict on Smackdown pain over a long years since my childhood now I'm directly playing 2k23 that experience was really good

[@t-spiders1035]

If you ever feel like revising this video, you should add the version from Wrestlemania 2000/No Mercy, which is actually different from the Steven Kick.

[@wugiman18]

Great compilation! Though you may have overlooked the running SCM they had in HCTP and the OG SvR. I loved hitting that move.

[@StevenRainmaker]

So… no Attitude, WrestleMania 2000, or No Mercy?

[@biggamejames4814]

That WWE 2k17 the best one him delivering the SCM and falling best one

[@offthegridbutonyoutube548]

They really need to update HBK’s super kick animations. But the HBK disrespect in WWE games has been insane for a long time. There was a period where he had the same exact attire for like 4 years straight, we never got a proper career showcase mode & all of the superkicks are trash, currently. (Especially compared to all of the Cutters) We also should have had a recreation of the SCM to Shelton Benjamin (as a whole movement like Rated RKO in 08, not that lame ass Catch finisher which also needs an overhaul) HCTP grounded motion FTW plus 08’s pin option where he kicks them off both feet. Current standing one is okay only for the pin animation but it should have some sort of set up

[@t.bjammer6236]

Glad someone else said it for me. For years in a row for black tights and trash super kicks.

[@JahThaGod12]

after 2011 it started getting weird

[@Allintn22]

If you played these games on N64 and PS1 then your appreciation of the new games are on a whole diffrent level

[@louisn1368]

They were crappy then but atleast they had a reason the consoles were in the very beginning of gameplay not being like donkey Kong sonic and or super smash Mario bro’s now says there crappy for no excusable reason

[@MalcolmTurnerKing]

No WWF Wrestlemania: The Arcade Game????

[@MinamotoKyoshiro]

Looking at what previous games did like the amount of moves that used to be available in the wrestler movesets to the finisher sells the new games feel lackluster.

[@offthegridbutonyoutube548]

Forreal, all of the super kicks in the game just feel empty. Older games had multiple super kick options that looked good but the damage was low. Now the damage is equal & all of the options are mid.

[@MinamotoKyoshiro]

@@offthegridbutonyoutube548 The stunner was another one that got that treatment. It's really a shame that they removed the visuals that made the moves look absolutely devestating.

[@cybzer0560]

Its 2k they are lazy

[@AndromedaConcepts-pe5tg]

I enjoyed the previous games. The animations and camera cuts during was cool, and the crowd also were overhyped unlike the current versions.

[@shemzlove490]

Bro the glass breaking and slow mode really made the move look special

[@IAWIA5]

Good to see the Gamecube games get some love in this video, I feel like not enough people talk about how good they were in comparison to all the flowers that the SmackDown and N64 games do

[@bradprice1246]

I can see why I got out of games in the mid 2000’s. The late teens look like they finally got it right, but I never played them…

[@TheGrowlerCatB2BGame]

It was nice when the super kick was actually a threatening move/finisher. Now they execute them all over the place multiple times in a match. Especially in AEW. The move holds no real weight anymore.

[@skoot3215]

I wish in the new games the timing was better like back then. I hate how the person turns around and you’re still standing in the corner stomping your leg while they’re just standing there dazed waiting to finish the kick. Would feel better if right as they turned around you were landing the kick. Same with spears and other corner finishers that are animated.

[@xylsky1300]

In my household we call superkicks "thigh slaps"

[@j.zuberi]

Seems they finally got the realism once 2k17 to 2k22 came out.

[@seanwilkinson7431]

You forgot the THQ games on N64.

[@trustnoone3007]

No he didn't. He probably did it on purpose because he did another video just like this one and did the same thing. A poor job done by him again. Probably envious on those N64 games because he knows they are better!

[@Dearagon]

The one thing I love about the WrestleMania games is how easy it is to stop literally any move with hits or throwing someone onto someone

[@codemonkey848]

I really think we’ve been hoodwinked by 2K for years. The arcade feel of SvR and Reckoning seems like a much better deal these days. Even the models and animations look more fun! Even the crowd is better! What happened..?

[@ns7274]

It's been in games since 1995! Lol

[@theungreatkahli]

I used to love the way it did that x-ray filter on the first Day of Reckoning fame. This was way before the Mortal Kombat thing. Used to look so brutal, like with pile drivers or moves like that, like you just injured the opponent.

[@Miltypooh2001]

2007 sweet chain music is my favorite one

You know what I miss about the older games(anything with SD name in it) when you hit that finisher that graphic went across the screen...got me excited watching it, lol. The best modern one was 17 when he fell out after the kick. These games are too realistic and forget they are just games. They need to add that extra umph back into the games.

[@Ryan-rn3cf]

Their hair moves a little better each year. I think that’s where most of the budget goes.

day of reckoning and svr 08 have the best effects

[@knightshiningarmour]

I miss playing smackdown 2

[@630majic]

I think one of the worst routes they could've taken is the change in sound effects. Not everything in gaming needs to be as close to real life as possible. Bring back making it sound like Shawn kicked someone's jaw through the atmosphere. The slow motion build up right before impact was also a nice touch.

[@Bigd2k]

I can safely say after looking at the move through the years, that if you are not going to have a set animation of him doing the stomp setup on the corner then just drop that part and let him do a super kick. That stomping in the middle of the ring looks so awkward.

[@darkmvz6186]

Funny that when HBK used its sweet chin music yet when anyone does it, it's super kick

[@chuckymagia]

The 2K17 animation was so realistic. Similar to WM14 Sweet Chin Music attempt on Austin but failed.
