The peoples elbow thing makes sense in a videogame way. The costumes the divas wear in bra and panties matches probably share the same properties/etc with the rocks elbow pad (also removable) and the devs/playtesters didn't click on to it
My guess is the one on the left is a lower resolution Earl that is used during in-game matches. The higher resolution one on the right is used for cutscenes since you see him closer up. Really cool
one of my favorite "tricks" was any time you fought someone in the parking lot, if you irish whipped them into that 18 wheeler, they would jump up on the trailer. theres no way to safely get down so theyd just walk off and take a bunch of damage. if you played season mode with a CAW or a wrestler with bad stats it helped alot if you found yourself against someone tougher.
You can safely get down by landing a move. It's not very realistic except against someone with extremely low technique though, since it's so easy to counter. Though not a "trick," one of my favorite glitches was the simplistic way the dumpster behaved in Arena Back Entrance. There was just a rectangle in front of the dumpster where if anyone was running while in that rectangle, they would fall in. That meant if you had your back to the dumpster and tried to run away from it, it would suck you back in anyway. My least favorite interaction was in tag matches. When you interfere while not tagged in, the ref will try to catch you and give you a talking-to, which functions as a special grapple move. If the ref catches you, you lose all control while the wrestler slowly walks out of the ring. When in this mode, you can't even counter anything, so other players can whale on you as long as they want. Worse still, you can be forced into that position if an opponent throws you into the ring. It kinda ruins tag matches tbh.
There's some fun season mode glitches where you can hold both world titles at the same time which leads to funny things like your character talking to himself before Wrestlemania.
The spinaroonie taunt into a top rope finish is INSANE! I still remember calling mom at work begging her to pick this up when it released. Then sneaking out of bed to play until like 4a and being dead at school lol. Thought I knew every inch of the game but that one stunned me! Incredible work here!!
19:19 You get in the crowd when you're in the table by running to the barricade on the side, just keep trying to run and you will eventually glitch into the crowd
i figured you had to angle yourself to have the wrestler stumble against the stairs and the lack of space would mean you would be pushed into the crowd. this makes more sense though
@@Bubba__Sawyer Def the awful AI and the gameplay, the latter is half broken btw, they didn't even think about fixing it before release, there are 2 counters that prevents the opponent from defending afterwards, one is the irish whip counter and the other is from the ground leg side, the push, the best way to prove it is to try it, use an Irish whip to the AI until it counters you, then try to reverse the next move, you will see with your own eyes 🤣😂, submission mechanics are terrible and there's barely any, you can't even save someone from a submission aka it's the best way to win/lose multiple men matches, the referee AI is a kung fu master that reverses everything, this would be fine if it wasn't for the fact that he gets in the way "a lot" while you are fighting, Season mode is ok but it's not this masterpiece people make it out to be, most storylines are beyond stupid and makes no sense, be aware that i like the game, it's still one of my fav but it's nowhere near one of the best unfortunately, i have a lot more to say but I'l stop for now 🙃
God I still remember getting this game and DBZ Budokai 2 and playing them on Halloween, I have a clear memory of Goldberg and Hurricane fighting in the locker room and breaking that wall that hid the shower before going trick or treating. Happy Anniversary, I know people Consider No mercy to be the best wrestling game but this game will always be my ace.
Yeah but only in your dreams cuz 2k19 does everything better, this joke of a game has terrible submission mechanics, bad AI, broken reversals, you have no clue.
@@KushWilson Tell me your a troll without telling me your a troll, i'm just objective, HCTP is full of serious problems and it's not the best wrestling game to date :D
I hope you continue this series, celebrating the best wrestling games like this, HCTP might not be my absolute favorite, but I personally consider it the best wrestling video game for what it introduced and for how well it has aged, it is the definitive wrestling game experience.
Same. These games especially captured the frantic and crazy energy that is Pro Wrestling. All the keyframe animated moves added a lot of character too.
This game and SVR 1 and 2006 were so much damn fun over the years. Hours and hours of game play. And of course No Mercy, but those 3 PS2 games were electric
Basically impossible with the current WWE devs. Everything is so coded into each other in this chaotic intricate systems on top of codes and other intricate systems. Changing one big thing probably breaks something else. Thats actually one of my main theory with the last couple Universe mode. The GM mode additions broke something in Universe mode, hence the feature removals so they can re-code it again.
@@IsaacSperrow Oh yeah these games have been kitbashed over years and years, which is why there are still some animations that have stuck around since WWE '12. They would have to start fresh or take some time to really rework what they currently have. Which I would be all for tbh.
I never really encountered many glitches when playing games as a kid, but I remember discovering the Elimination Chamber-Missile Dropkick organically as a kid when I'd play with my brother and cousins. The hilarity of doing that is a fond memory I have. Thanks for showcasing all these weird fun things about HCTP, it's a classic for a reason. The nu-metal, the impact sounds, the lack of commentary never bothered me as the action more than made up for it.
To be fair, there were two games in between for them to learn their craft. Just Bring It is pretty mid for the most part, but then they started figuring it out with Shut Your Mouth. Those two helped to shape the excellence that would follow
i was looking at just bring it, an to be honest, shut your mouth & here comes the pain are improved versions of just bring it, down to the look, gameplay and story structure. shut your mouth even has left over animations scenes from storymode from just bring it that carrys over to here comes the pain. @@LooneyTunesBackInActionWasGood
I saw this game in a pawn shop the other day, but they wanted $60 for it so I didn't buy it... but now I wish I did, I'd love to try some of these... that first blood glitch with Earl winning is just too funny lol
What blows my mind is that I've played this since I was 4, I'm 24 now, only recently knew you can do springboards and have no clue how to do them, seeing Jawnny do it so effortlessly is nuts
If you play season mode, all you have to do to win every match is get your opponent Disqualified by leaning a table in the corner and running into it, if you time it right, you opponent will grab you and put you through the table and you will win.
This was like going back in time and watching my best friend and myself as kids trying to glitch the hell out of PS2 games like GTA and Smackdown vs Raw and laughing our asses off 😂
So cool to see another one of these tips and secrets videos with LT. They remind me of the kind of videos we would sometimes get on the demo discs for PS2 magazines here in the UK. That first blood one was amazing! That would be a great thing to do if you were losing and wanted to make sure your opponent didn't get the win. I'm sure someone, somewhere has pulled off that RVD one but it seems too hard to do consistently. The one with the floating tables blew my mind.
I never played this game during my childhood. I've only started playing it around 3 or 4 years ago as an adult. I always grew up with the Smackdown games but for one reason or another, Here Comes The Pain I just never played until recently. I have always heard about the glitches and tips over the years so finally getting the game and playing it for myself was liberating.
My own tip: if you create a max height superstar and play a hell in a cell match, you can back body drop your opponent from in the ring to on top of the hell in a cell. You have to first break one of the two panels.
If I remember correctly Johnny made a video about the floating tables glitch in SVR 06 years ago, I didn’t know that glitch existed in other games too.
Played this so much as a kid, trying to stack table on table and use the extended ladder for the five star frog splash to put my opponent through both tables was easy, compared to doing it off the titantron, i.e. the fist on the smackdown arena, was very difficult. I was able to do a generic chokeslam through a table from the ground. It took multiple attempts, and I only succeeded from lodging the table into the ropes and turnbuckle, making it impossible for the table to move, and putting the receiving character "on top" when the move was executed. A lot of jank is manipulated when doing things not intended in this game, and I love it. Looking back, this was a utopia of jank, not just with this game, but with this generation as a whole. I might be talking about shut your mouth???
Bought a mini PC two months ago for the living room and set up a RetroBat build...started grabbing a bunch of PS2 games, but I've basically been playing nothing but this. As far as "arcade speed with simulation elements" wrestling goes, I don't know if HCTP will ever be topped. It was a vibe back then, it's a vibe 20 years later, and 20 years from now people are probably still going to be discovering, reminiscing about, and celebrating this game.
The Drop The Dime exploit is reminiscent of the Apron Dropkick in SvR09. It's hilarious to me that they (presumably) fixed/removed this going forward but then didn't check that the Apron Dropkick would have exactly the same effect.
Me and my friend used to do the elimination chamber glitch with the dropkick. We would keep restarting the match to make sure we were the first 2 in to do it fast lol
It’s been 20 years already?!? It only feels like yesterday when I rented this game from Hollywood Video. Man, I feel old. lol I’m gonna go celebrate by playing some HCTP matches. This game was (& still is) the GOAT! ✊
There’s a video with 9 views showing the van daminator glitch working with slightly different positioning, so it does work but only in a specific situation.
The ending makes me wish I could find that old newlegecy video where the bigshow became the ladder and rocketed out of existence and everything went black.
Me learning me all these tips and tricks in 2024 makes me want to buy this game and play it all over again... This game still rates as the best WWE game to me ever.... One of the things that I used to love is when you can go outside and catch the Subway train, and play a snowball fight
There was also a trick in season mode to win every match via dq You have to set up a table on the corner and then run into it just as your opponent is about to grab you They'll put You through the table and you'll win via dq in a matter of seconds
The Eric Bischoff first blood one does work but he must wear his gm suit also another one you could do is throw your opponent into the barricade then run and press square to stand on the appron do a diving spinning wheel kick I believe it's called and you will glitch into the crowd. Also hope you do more of these like for Smackdown 2 if you go to the stage fall on your face trying to do a running grapple let it do the rolling gimmick when your superstar gets up then run the opposite direction and you will start floating repeat the process and you can get pretty high till the game crashes
God this brings back memories. I was super disappointed when you had Charlie Haas in a match and didn't make him bleed, his blood in the game is a dark brown/blackish colour. My head canon was he was a robot and that was oil spilling out of his forehead. I used to do the bra and panties, Elimination Chamber, cage match and using the table to get into the crowd glitches all the time back in the day. The ref winning a first blood match was always my absolute favourite glitch, there was just something so comical about it. I never knew about the floating tables though, what a treat to learn something new about one of the GOATs of wrestling games 20 years later!
Can't wait to see all the boys doing these the next time they play this together Edit: if im not mistaken, i remember it being eric in the suit that cant bleed rather than the karate outfit but i could be misremembering
My first ever wrestling game experience was svr 06 but I recently said fuck it and I grabbed a ps2 for the low and I found HCTP at a store nearby and I just gotta say I’ve never had so much motherfucking fun playing a wrestling video game or any video game in general . I can’t believe a game from 20 years ago blows these new games out of the fucking water and watching you guys and pulse for years motivated me to hop on HCTP. Thank you guys for the years and years of entertainment. Your videos have helped me through some awful times. Thank you ❤🙏🏾❤️❤️
I don't remember if it was in HCTP or later but I remember that if you use Edge's spear [as a running finisher] on the Undertaker while he has the opponent upside down in the stalling tombstone pin, [the one legend Undertaker has in HCTP] the Undertaker will sell and the other opponent will get tombstoned and be stuck in the hands-folded-on-chest pin.
I don't remember exactly but you can hardlock the game if you're the last person remaining in a Rumble and you do a top-rope move out of the ring, either that or if you're in the ring and the number 30 is on their way into the ring and then you do a missile dropkick to them.
The People's Elbow one seems to say, you can't lose now, cuz the glitch removes your clothes, which is the way the other girl wins. She can't do it anymore, and the game thinks you are fine, so yeah. You can just play the match till you win :P Or the game crashes.

That's what I was thinking, and it also likely means B&P matches were 100% adapted from a single finisher animation.
6:55
I think the craziest part of this is that this shows the game has TWO DIFFERENT Earl Hebner models for some reason.
No one is Earl one is Dave
My guess is the one on the left is a lower resolution Earl that is used during in-game matches. The higher resolution one on the right is used for cutscenes since you see him closer up. Really cool
@@DreyzieArt If that is the case, that means there is also going to be a Hero model Mike Chioda.
It's a high poly model and a low poly model
the model of Lita's pants, completely ridged, flying at the camera is one of the funnest fucking things I've ever seen.
one of my favorite "tricks" was any time you fought someone in the parking lot, if you irish whipped them into that 18 wheeler, they would jump up on the trailer. theres no way to safely get down so theyd just walk off and take a bunch of damage. if you played season mode with a CAW or a wrestler with bad stats it helped alot if you found yourself against someone tougher.
"Ok Bill, go up that lorry and walk off until you can't feel your legs anymore. Then we'll go to the finish."
Lol😂😂I remember doing that!over and over
You can safely get down by landing a move. It's not very realistic except against someone with extremely low technique though, since it's so easy to counter.

Not only did HCTP come out today 20 years ago but another legendary game came out today 20 years ago as well Tony Hawk’s Underground.
both games made up half of my time spent playing the ps2 as a kid
Need for Speed Underground then came out in November. 2003 was a great year for games!
Goat era
What an era for games huh I believe the Sims Bustin' Out came out around that time too.
What a time to be alive, literally every game everyone just mentioned. Best childhood!!!!
Earl Hebner going into business for himself. A tale as old as time.
There's some fun season mode glitches where you can hold both world titles at the same time which leads to funny things like your character talking to himself before Wrestlemania.

really love these Mythbusting type videos you and LT do they're super fun!
Well I've never seen The Rock do the elbow quite like that!
It's actually the suit attire that Eric Bichoff cant bleed in. I remember doing that as a kid and getting mad when I couldn't beat him. 😂
the No Mercy tricks/glitches/cheats video is one of my low-key favorites, super glad to see another
The spinaroonie taunt into a top rope finish is INSANE! I still remember calling mom at work begging her to pick this up when it released. Then sneaking out of bed to play until like 4a and being dead at school lol.

My own tip: if you create a max height superstar and play a hell in a cell match, you can back body drop your opponent from in the ring to on top of the hell in a cell. You have to first break one of the two panels.
I LOVED this video, if Johnny and LT do this for any other wrestling game id love it too

LT came back from the Lazarus Pit.
Learned that first one from a Bumps and Edits video, I thought it was the coolest thing ever
There’s a video with 9 views showing the van daminator glitch working with slightly different positioning, so it does work but only in a specific situation.
I heard the opposite about Bischoff ... it was in his suit attire he couldn't bleed ...
Correct
The ending makes me wish I could find that old newlegecy video where the bigshow became the ladder and rocketed out of existence and everything went black.
Putting up invisible walls was the worst decision they've ever made for wrestling games
The RVD trick with the Van Daminator, you have to do it in the RAW arena cause the RAW arena has no announce table there.
I think the Vandamanitor one is not the finisher but where you run and press X whilst holding the chair
Me learning me all these tips and tricks in 2024 makes me want to buy this game and play it all over again... This game still rates as the best WWE game to me ever.... One of the things that I used to love is when you can go outside and catch the Subway train, and play a snowball fight
The bischoff glitch is actually real, it’s his suit attire
I used to play this game for hours I had so much fun. This was my top 3 fave wrestling games. The other 2 being No Mercy and WCW vs NWO Revenge.
>But as you can tell, as I said, Eric Bischoff cannot bleed.
Already lost my shit @ 3:26 😂
There was also a trick in season mode to win every match via dq

Can't wait to see all the boys doing these the next time they play this together
Edit: if im not mistaken, i remember it being eric in the suit that cant bleed rather than the karate outfit but i could be misremembering
My first ever wrestling game experience was svr 06 but I recently said fuck it and I grabbed a ps2 for the low and I found HCTP at a store nearby and I just gotta say I’ve never had so much motherfucking fun playing a wrestling video game or any video game in general . I can’t believe a game from 20 years ago blows these new games out of the fucking water and watching you guys and pulse for years motivated me to hop on HCTP. Thank you guys for the years and years of entertainment. Your videos have helped me through some awful times. Thank you ❤🙏🏾❤️❤️
Takes me back to the good Ol days
I don't remember if it was in HCTP or later but I remember that if you use Edge's spear [as a running finisher] on the Undertaker while he has the opponent upside down in the stalling tombstone pin, [the one legend Undertaker has in HCTP] the Undertaker will sell and the other opponent will get tombstoned and be stuck in the hands-folded-on-chest pin.
3:10 to 4:05 had me crying lol😂
I don't remember exactly but you can hardlock the game if you're the last person remaining in a Rumble and you do a top-rope move out of the ring, either that or if you're in the ring and the number 30 is on their way into the ring and then you do a missile dropkick to them.
I've been playing a pretty sweet modded HCTP. All redone models and Era accurate outfits. It's badass
Love this game! Kane was an absolute beast.
Heck ya he is! Ridiculously big in this game and just destroying everyone lol 😂.
The People's Elbow one seems to say, you can't lose now, cuz the glitch removes your clothes, which is the way the other girl wins. She can't do it anymore, and the game thinks you are fine, so yeah. You can just play the match till you win :P Or the game crashes.
if you never played here comes the pain, lock yourself in your room for 13 days straight and dont stop playing until time is up
Perc Angle was crazy enough to do it actually 34:00 💀
I can't believe LT didn't have HTCP
... Or a toothbrush
36:50 Suddenly having Pro Wrestling X flashbacks
0:04 FACK!!
