'WWE SmackDown! vs. RAW 2006' RETROSPECTIVE - Triangle X Squared O.

[@VIGLounge]

The memory that burns in my mind from SVR 2006 is playing the Eddie Guerrero Storyline after he passed away. It's like that awkward moment when you laugh at a funeral.

[@elijahloveell8809]

Serial Miller I know right. It’s eerie and unfortunate. RIP Eddie

[@NinjaTylerBlack]

It literally came out the week he died. But I played as Eddie in season so I didn't see the story for months

[@pureimpact4658]

Serial Miller When Eddy died, I didn't play this game for months. He's one of my top five all time favorite wrestlers. Couldn't bring myself to hit him in a game.

[@emanuelespinoza9325]

Even more eerie was in SVR 2007 when Undertaker confronts Chris Benoit about his family.

[@616Entertainment]

Yea, I made a point to not cover that part. We all know about it. I feel like covering that ground again would've made this feel like a video anyone could've made, ya know?

[@frozendilemma]

Back when I was 15, I spent hours and hours on this game. Kept playing it well into 2010. Fond memories, man.

[@616Entertainment]

Dude, me too.

[@DoomSlayerEythyn]

Same here bros

[@Mr407Derek]

Third to. Endless nights with my friends playing this game.

[@MarlonAnthony]

SVR2006 was the best balance of simulation and arcade Yukes ever pulled off in the series before compromises took place. It captured a magical time in WWE, The DNA of what made old smackdown games great was still present while they added a ton of new features, Mechanics and animations with out removing anything. This was such a deluxe game and a make good after the bare bones SvR 2005. Great game.

[@616Entertainment]

Hard to argue, Marlon.

[@TheDrunkLawyer]

Once one of my friends discovered it, we all did this 😂

[@BurnoutInc]

This was my favorite of the Smackdown VS RAW Series. The roster and legends were pretty stacked, easily one of my favorite time periods in WWE. The arenas looked great, the games modes were all fun, I lost days to the creation suite. I made so many wrestlers and checked forums everyday for new recipes. I had The Thing, The Crow, Mr Incredible, Marv from Sin City, The Hulk and Sephiroth from FF7 on my roster. I made so many created championships! You could make your own spinner belts that actually spun! It was crazy. The story mode, while cheesy and horribly mo capped like you mentioned, remains one of my favorites of all time. I did t spend much time in GM Mode, wasn’t my thing but looking back on it, I wish I had. Yet another tremendous retrospective. Can’t wait for the history of Resident Evil.

[@616Entertainment]

Highly appreciate the kind words and good stories, dude. Yea, creating wrestlers from CAW formulas was the way of the world back then, hahaha. Much love, brudda.

[@dannyw5570]

You should of covered the online mode! It had a strong community, that played that game over all the newer ones. That game was alive online until about 2012. I played that game for 6 years. We would have ref kills 4way tlcs. They had lobbies, with chat rooms. Everyone knew everyone. Leaderboards, records, defend your custom title. Clans, who had titles and ppvs and shows. You can look it up online. That's why 06 will always be the best wrestling game of all time. I played it for 6 years lmao, with friends I still talk to today. We are a close community somewhat. I feel bad for people who never got to experience the online of 06.

[@DOAHITMAN]

Facts bro

[@cstrife420]

I bought this game on psp simply to unlock Jake the snake and my mom was like "why are you buying the same game twice" and i was like "idk... guess i like it" lmao

[@thisisnotachannel]

GM mode is great. You should give it a try.

[@RaDicAL808]

1 night stand 2005 was amazing to watch on PPV, but now on their network sucks. The music was all changed. Sandman came out to Metallica’s Sandman song and the whole crowd sang along. So awesome!

[@JulianCallan]

RaDicAL808 Someone online has remastered it with the original audio and really good quality footage. It's worth looking up, shouldn't be too hard to find.

I had all of the Smackdown/SmackDown vs Raw series games. This one was always one I would go back to. I remember finding a website that had formulas to create wrestlers! Those were the days man. Thank you for this series, it was always a wonderful trip down memory lane!

THQ after releasing WWE SmackDown! VS. Raw 2006 : "This is how you make a realistic WWE video game." Also, am I the only person to like WWF SmackDown! Just Bring It?

[@bringbackskylanders1639]

I like just bring it

[@davidkeays9206]

Just bring it is the last game in the series that feels like the original smackdown 1/2 on psx. Season mode aside, I think Just Bring it is the best of the games that feel like the original. Shut your mouth feels like a different era of wrestling games. Just like how 06 feels so different compared to svr and hctp

[@blakebillman300]

Yes because just bring it was awful

[@pureimpact4658]

The story mode was such a HUGE letdown! The graphics were subpar and the commentary is so awful. I did like most of the wrestler entrances, though.😏

[@evrbody]

This...SINGLES WITH MANAGER MATCH...will be an important match!

[@elijahloveell8809]

This is where it all began for me. This is what started my fandom of pro wrestling. I still remember to this day visiting my cousin on weekends and playing SVR 06. Months after playing this, my Mom bought me the SVR 3 set collection and I’ve never looked back since.

[@616Entertainment]

Dude NICE!

[@mattdunfee3527]

I have fond memories of getting this for Christmas 2006 along with a PS2. That game solidified myself as a fan of wrestling games, and Static X. The track Start A War played endlessly and I liked it, but I was too young to know who they were. A decade later I would rediscover the band and listening to Start A War brought back so many memories

[@616Entertainment]

Dude hell yea.

[@bashcrash9148]

I graduated high school in 2006 and completely forgot how interesting this game was when it came out. Thanks for the awesome retrospective.

[@alec2000]

I have waited long for this video. This is legit my favorite wrestling game ever. Not only that but this was my first ever wrestling game but my very first PS2 game. The amounts of hours spent on this game with older brother and my cousins once we got a multitap were crazy. We did everything elimination chamber, armageddon hell in a cell, royal rumble, etc. The soundtrack was purely awesome, waiting by not forgotten, pieces by dark new day, and unretrofied by the dillinger escape plan are some of our favorites to this day. Season mode was legendary, creations modes were amazing and gameplay was just so damn fun. Sorry for the long comment, but I really have to go into super nostalgia mode when I see videos of this game. It’s that special to me that it has the biggest place in my heart.

[@Ceielo]

I can't believe I forgot about the music! I need to get the songs soon. Such great times in this game all around. I got the multitap way too late, people were moving on to the 360 by the time I got it with a bunch of extra controllers, so I never got to experience the full 6 player glory that could have been.

[@pureimpact4658]

Alec I feel ya man. I tried to play mine last week but the game wouldn't load and I got impatient and played Here Comes the Pain instead and then Fire Pro Wrestling Returns. 👍🏾🐻

Two things that I miss from these games that the new ones don't do anymore is giving the player there very own locker room that they can customize how ever they want and setting up matches with just CPUs on the hardest difficulty and watching what happens

[@earlsmith9517]

This was easily the best wrestling game period. It had everything you could possibly ask for. It pretty much took everything good about all the wrestling games from the past and combined them into this game and even had some welcome new additions. This and here comes the pain are the best on PS2!

Tremendous retrospective as always, man. Right in the feels. One thing I'd like to add is the soundtrack was a litany of catchy songs. And as many hours as we put into these games we start to learn each song word for word. Or try our best to sing along. 🎶You're cutting me in two, and ripping me in threeeee. You're killing with those words you say to meeee🎶

Well in defense of the Muhammed Hassan Character: He originally debuted as an American-Arabic Citizen who spoke out against racism and hatred he and his fellow Muslim US-Citizens had to endure. Only problem his that WWE should never be in charge of long-term, nuanced, politically charged story lines. It was only a matter of time until they'd screw up big time, because they handle sensitive stories with as much thoughtfulness as Jay Leno handled Monika Lewinsky Jokes. This and the Eugene gimmick is my ultimate go away heat gimmick, to paraphrase Jay from the OSW Review Podcast

[@616Entertainment]

They can claim all they want that Hassan was anti-racist, but that's bullshit revisionist history. He was a middle eastern dude, with a stereotypical appearance, he was an asshole, and he head hooded men hitting the ring to... well, you know. The gimmick itself was racist.

[@Joker_JAK]

I actually liked Hassan. Thought he was a great heel and talented in the ring.

[@616Entertainment]

@@Joker_JAK No disrespect to Mark Caproni (I think that was his real name?), he was great at his job. The gimmick he got saddle with was just a little too much. Wasn't his fault. He did what they asked of him.

[@nbr6116]

@@616Entertainment there is (at least in my opinion) nothing revisionist about the original intend of his character and saying that WWE are fucking idiots for portraying him as a heel (I should have made that clear in the original comment, sorry about that). The real stereo typical and racist character traits (such as the praying to summon hooded goons) only came once he was drafted to smackdown. Not that they handled that gimmick with any real grace on Raw either. (Stone Cold calling him and Daivari "Sand People" comes to mind) The man behind the Gimmick did an amazing Job, it's just a shame they handled it with even less sensitivity than even fucking Cryme Tyme and Umaga. But that's Big Vinny's House of Rumps'n'Bumps for ya. I can totally see your point. However, I personally believe that the original intend of the character was doomed from the start, given WWEs track record with such gimmicks.

[@Allencartercomix]

Sad to see this series end, but it's been a fantastic run. Regarding SVR 2006, you forgot to mention the submission mini-games that were added for ground submission finishers, and for sleeperholds out of an irish whip, where that mini-game showed the referee raising and dropping your opponents hand just like on tv.

[@616Entertainment]

I didn't forget to mention it, I cut it out of the script. I came back and played this game for nearly 10 hours to record footage and just get a feel for it again and those mini games didn't occur one time.

[@ericmcdaniel0613]

If I’m not mistaken, in this game (or maybe it originated in the previous SVR along with the origin of the create a championship mode) you could challenge your friends to a match for your (or their) custom championship. And if you lose the match/ your belt to your friend then you literally lose the saved data file of your belt and it is transferred to your friend’s memory card! Title for title matches were intense!

- GM mode with customizable shows (merge it with universe mode) so either Raw vs SD or if we wanna make WCW vs WWF to recreate monday night wars! - Custom music import and usablitiy for personal use only (if theyre worried about copywrite issues) - figure out a way to not have 1000 image cap since some downloadable superstars come with like 10 attire images) - allow multiple save files if theres gonna be a cap, so that the storage capabilities are on the player, not a limit of the game) - Allow superstars to walk to the ring with an accessory (water bottle, weapon, towel, shirt in hand, urn, kendo stick, trash can, shopping cart, etc) - replace 2k towers with created superstar fight to wrestlemania - spend time in performance center working out kinks, NXT for 2 months of events, debut the raw after WM and spend a year fighting for the main event. If you lose around Jan you have a 2nd chance to enter and win the RR - etc. if you win the title year 1 you get WWE Bucks - Use WWE bucks and have WAY more purchasable/unlockable content and DONT sell a 10 dollar 'unlock everything' pack. Make it fun and replayable

[@Areala21]

Good Gawd, what a season finale! Ian, I know I come back and I say this every month, but DAMN did you nail it yet again. I was one of the many who felt the original SvR was a step backwards after HCtP. It was like...they added just enough complexity that I just wasn't able to adapt, and I felt like the series lost me. As a result, I basically bailed on the series, so I ignored SvR 2006 entirely. When the PS3 came out, I gave SvR 2008 a try as a rental, and the graphical improvements were nice, but the massively altered controls just left too steep of a learning curve for someone who had developed the muscle memory for the first five games, so I wrote the series off as no longer being made for players like me. Now, though, you've got me wanting to give SvR 2006 a try. Because, yeah, this DOES look like a massive five-star frog splash over the first SvR, and I kinda want to play it to see how it feels. And hey, if it doesn't wind up being my thing, I've still got HCtP as my go-to for pick-up-and-play, arcade-style wrestling. But if it does...well, what's a bit more space on one of my dozen or so PS2 memory cards, eh? :D Can't wait to see how you handle the Resident Evil timeline come June. I know it will be epic, and you better believe I'll be tuning in! Also, your little dog is ADORABLE!!

The Amount of Hours I Spent In GM Mode also learning the soundtrack is a moment in time i'll never forget.....damn nostalgia

[@616Entertainment]

100%, dude.

[@Kruedel84]

Bro. I scared my cat at the end when my jaw hit the floor with a loud "Wwwwhhaaat?" I cannot wait for that! The video took me back, bro. Brilliant job. Thank you.

[@616Entertainment]

So stoked that you're looking forward to it, Kyle. Thank you!

[@Marijošiauskolekcijos]

Hi, you do so well man your videos are awesome. Keep doing this man. :) I like your entire story about WCW and Smackdown series you got best way stories to tell about these games. Never bored to listen. I couldn't find any better channel on youtube as you are on wrestling games. I also have all the WWF/WWE games the first two WWF Smackdown games was so great. And the first Smackdown vs Raw (2004) untill 2007 was so epic. 🤭 I had completed whem all. By the way I never completed GM Manager mode on SVR games it's very complicated . The simple way to do that is with Action Replay Max disc for PS2. :) I have the disc and I've done it. But so sad that we'couldn't do the same with WWE SVR 2007 game. I just got Action Replay disc made for games untill 2006 only. :) Love you man, your channel made my day every time so bright and shine❣️ :)

[@simon995pci]

BROOO i've been waiting months for this video , i re watched your videos just a couple days ago !! this was my first game (brother gift)

[@simon995pci]

great season finally, so excited for RE history !

[@616Entertainment]

Hell yea ! You were super prepared.

[@wistful3631]

I’m glad you did this. I love smack down vs Raw it’s my second favorite WWE game aside from 2K14 but only because that was my 1st one so I’m attached to it

[@thomaspayne6453]

the memory's this game was awesome back in the day i miss it i play it over and over again

[@616Entertainment]

It holds up!

[@xXDRD9Xx]

To boot up this game for the first time and hear Unretrofied by the Dillinger Escape Plan gives mad nostalgia. Of any wrestling game, I love the OST on this one the most.

[@616Entertainment]

Dude hell yea.

[@jonbelf2981]

Another great video! I am also super stoked for the new project as a big Resident Evil fan. Keep up the great work!! Also, did you get a new camera? I feel like the quality is improved in this episode. I am also still playing catch up on some of the other content I've missed so it could just be me!

[@616Entertainment]

Nope, same camera since last year or so. The last shot is strangle smooth, though, I don't know why, lol.

[@vinniegarcia431]

Man making me wanna go get a ps2 and svr2006 lol. I was always a big no mercy fan. But the smackdown series was always top tier stuff. Cool video. Keep up the good work man 🔺✖️🔲🟠

[@616Entertainment]

Thanks for watching, Vinnie. =)

[@mhstylesmugen]

Now there is another reason to wait for June 16th ( besides my 19th birthday ) , Thank you for this more than awesome videos , greetings and love to you and your channel from Jordan

[@616Entertainment]

Oh shit, happy (upcoming) birthday!

[@crowfan82790]

Oh man I've really wanted a RE deep dive and your the perfect channel for it!#Stoked

[@616Entertainment]

You're going to love it. =)

[@EnriqueStyle]

Man, History of RE? Keep up the good work Ian.

[@616Entertainment]

You'll love it. =)

[@16BitJay]

I remember getting this game, I never got into GM Mode, but I did fill 5 memory cards worth of created wrestlers. You highlighted how much of a jump this game was, and I think I might have to dust off the old PS2 to revisit it again. On the announcement I just have to say hell yes, you are literally revisiting my favourite games on this channel constantly so I am happy that it continues that trend, though gotta be honest I'd probably have watched even if the games didn't interest me for your take on it. Roll on 616 day!

[@616Entertainment]

Hell yea, Jay. Thanks for always being here. =)

[@FyderTheReal]

This by far is one of the best svr games besides 2007 and 2011.... Man I wish 2k could bring back GM mode this was an awesome video no doubt thank u 616 for this

[@616Entertainment]

Thanks for watching!

[@pauljackson4409]

You are the man! I didnt want this video to end. Then when you announced the history of Redident Evil I actually first pumped 😂

[@616Entertainment]

Dude you’re going to love it. See you on 6-16-2020!

[@Jeffreynelius]

I was a PlayStation kid as well and I loved Smackdown so much, didn’t really play through No Mercy until years later as an adult.

[@GregTheGamerVI]

Great Video 616 I was a No Mercy kid but also had a PS2 but I didn't own SvR06. I remember playing it at a friends house all the time when I would visit. The game gave me hours of entertainment and fueled my fire to buy the next game that came out. I got SvR07 and enjoyed the hell out it. Imo SvR07 is the 🐐 of the SvR series.

[@616Entertainment]

I think people usually argue for either '06 or '07, yea.

[@EliteEasyE]

Aww this is the last one? I was looking forward to more. I guess this give me a chance to catch up on the backlog. I don't do horror or anything but good luck with the Resident Evil thing!

[@616Entertainment]

I’ve done The History of WCW games, Mortal Kombat, and the SmackDown! games on top of these 11 TXSO episodes. Plenty to watch!

[@woodensquid560]

I just started replaying this and I am amazed again 15 years later

[@616Entertainment]

Holds up!

[@BradleyBlake84]

I'll miss triangle, x, circle, squared...but I'll be here for the RE series. Looking forward to it bro.

[@616Entertainment]

It'll be back for Season 2! TXSO isn't dead, it's just finished it's first season. =)

[@johnconnor4184]

this is the best smackdown vs raw ever made. it is perfect.

[@616Entertainment]

Mmm, I might agree with that.

[@nabielrabadi848]

*Dont want to spoil* Wow that announcement ! I am super excited for that!!! You have some of the best content on KZbin. Always looking forward to it! Keep kicking ass!

[@616Entertainment]

Glad you're excited. =)

[@roxel7522]

I actually got fucking hyped when you revealed the history of Resident Evil project! Good luck my man, wish you the best!

[@616Entertainment]

Going to be great, man.

[@Halfdanr_H]

My brother and I devoted years to this game! Title matches and GM mode. I still play this game as an adult

[@616Entertainment]

Dude having a brother that would play GM Mode against you was probably awesome.

[@lucalai9433]

Awesome video as always! Congrats on a great series and hopefully you can do this series again Ian. Looking forward to the resident evil series!

[@616Entertainment]

Season 2 of TXSO is already confirmed to happen, don't worry. I really enjoy creating these and they perform well, so down the line, it'll be back!

[@lucalai9433]

616Entertainment awesome great stuff I’ll be looking forward to season 2 👍 thanks for your hard and great work

[@RaineRyanRudnick]

I CALLED IT! I predicted History of Resident Evil like, sometime last year. That’s gonna rock ultimate

[@616Entertainment]

You and I talked about it a looooong time ago, yessir. =)

[@TGriggs2003]

well... I've got my June 16th plans made now, thanks! I'm so excited I can't wait you do such an amazing awesome job on your videos I know this is going to be phenomenal

[@616Entertainment]

Much to come on 6-16-2020. =)

[@thadanaya9990]

Love ya retrospect vids. They b the best. Idk, I feel like u put alot more into them or sumthn. Like I can tell tht this is ya sht. Can't wait for tht Resident Evil jawn. Used to watch my brother play tht. Great job bro.💪💪💪

[@616Entertainment]

Thanks Thad. It's going to be a great time.

[@bricktop.]

Still play SVR 2006 almost daily at work. Held up really well for a psp game. Never owned on PS2 sadly.

[@616Entertainment]

It's good on PSP!

[@ailcross]

Yo man I've been watching your vids for a while and hearing you talk about your childhood is like you're talking about mine. Good shit man. Keep it up!

[@616Entertainment]

So many of us share similar stories, I think it's what brings us together.

[@rodrigoaraya7553]

Awesome video as always dude, svr 2006 wasn't one of my favorites but you hyped it so much that now I wanna buy it...you should work on the marketing for 2k

[@Broncos1990]

Great Retropsective! WWE SVR 2006 was certainly the beginning of an evolution of gameplay that had been established in the early PS2 SmackDown titles. I thoroughly enjoyed the game and was blown away with what they did for this title. I enjoyed the season mode a lot. Truly a great game and era for WWE games. If only they made the current 2K games the way THQ and Yuke's made games like SVR 2006.

[@616Entertainment]

I think most people would enjoy a new game in this style, man.

[@Broncos1990]

@@616Entertainment Heck yeah man! Let's just hope they decide to make something special with this extra time they have with no mainline release this year.

[@Hidden-Secrets]

Having HIM playing in the backround makes this Video ten times better 👍

[@616Entertainment]

HIM closes all of my videos. =)
