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.
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
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.)
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
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.
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 😊
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.
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.
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.
@@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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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..?
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.
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!
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.
Shut your mouth, my favorite, the camera angles when u did a smack was so good, especially for highfliers like jeff hardy’s swanton bomb or RVD 5 star frog splash ❤
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.
Wwf attitude one of the first wrestling games I ever played good times playing that game and actually had the wrestlers voices unlike new 2k who give us the same ol wrestling game by copying and paste and HBK deserves his own showcase more then Rey mysterio and John cena.
This game shows you how soft wwe has gotten over the years far as the Arena’s going from dark to bright colors with LED boards and stuff wwe has lost that tough image

My favorite is JBL's Clothesline From Hell from Smackdown vs Raw 2010
When I saw him do this in WWE 2K23 I was so happy
@@DaddyBoo69 JBL closeline was so nasty in pin just holding ur face down on top😂😂😂
2010 best one
Tell me about it.!!!! Frog splash had mad air and animation
“The ring is alive with the sound of music.” Classic
Looked forward for hearing that on Svr 06
I was hoping that would be in the video. 😂
I remember as a kid my grandparents would get me the new WWE game every Christmas.
I miss those times.
My dad does that to me now I would get WWE or call of duty
@@ajd823 enjoy those memories bro!!
You had awesome grandparents.
same
@@PhilMante I really couldn't have asked for better. My home life was awful so I spent as much time there as possible
SvR really made the Superkick sound like a bullet
Do you have a plan to bring back the SVR Sweet Chin Music Dutch?
It sounded like he had a got damn plan!!!!
Es música para mis oídos ❤
0:46 Is by far the hardest Sweet Chin Music 💯
Day of Reckoning 2 is still one of the best looking and best playing WWE games since No Mercy
GameCube was an awesome system.
Sorry but SvR 2006 shits on it
Dam right . Those 2 games we're something else . Good times . Being a kid and playing these games . When times were simple .
And the entrance creation stuff was so cool in there compared to a lot of the SvR games of that era.
In DOR2 you could hit it running too. I loved the mechanics of that game sooo much. Best gameplay for me growing up
DOR2 is excellent
DOR2 was an underrated treasure. A treasure I was blessed to have played more than any other game.
Here comes the pain is still the best wrestling game ever hands down
That and The first Smackdown Vs Raw!!!!!
Why do I prefer the older games. They're more fun...
Will always prefer arcade style over realistic simulators
THQ had the better games
2015 one looked the best. Idk why that is 🤔
@@Metronicle22 lol not sho either just dope
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.)
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.
Im with you on that
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
It's in there you just have to hit R2+X+Square
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.
Y'all are extremely picky 😭
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 😊
plus the superkick is also is doable as a signature move.. press back plus x while running
I have so many memories of smackdown vs raw from 2005 to 2011 those were fond memories
Great compilation! Though you may have overlooked the running SCM they had in HCTP and the OG SvR. I loved hitting that move.
OMG “here comes the pain” and “shut your mouth” brings back so many memories.
Biggest Addict on Smackdown pain over a long years since my childhood now I'm directly playing 2k23 that experience was really good
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.
0:09 Austin no-selling, as he normally does
😂😂
Here comes the pain had every single detail. I don't get how we got better graphics but lost the movement and details 🤷🏽♂️
So… no Attitude, WrestleMania 2000, or No Mercy?
And no WWF In Your House.
@@hitek9too255 shit, how did I forget that one?
@@StevenRainmaker Also no Wrestlemania 21 for og Xbox, WWF Raw for Sega Genesis, or WWE Raw 2 of og Xbox.
@@hitek9too255 no superkick yet. his signature moves were the tear drop suplex in raw and in your house
Attitude was the first one in the video

Glad someone else said it for me. For years in a row for black tights and trash super kicks.
In my household we call superkicks "thigh slaps"
That WWE 2k17 the best one him delivering the SCM and falling best one
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
0:53 BEST SWEET CHIN MUSIC EVER!
SvR 2009 has the best sweet chin music animation with pin. They need to add a new animation now.
If you played these games on N64 and PS1 then your appreciation of the new games are on a whole diffrent level
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
No WWF Wrestlemania: The Arcade Game????
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.
the need to bring back the replay
Bro the glass breaking and slow mode really made the move look special
Day of reckoning graphics 🔥
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…
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
Here comes the pain. Peak wwe gaming 🤷🏾♂️
PEEAAAK!!!
Top 3
3.Know your role 2
2.Shit your mouth
1.Here comes the pain
Bro so no one thinks that svr 06 & 07 is better than here comes the pain
I enjoyed the previous games. The animations and camera cuts during was cool, and the crowd also were overhyped unlike the current versions.
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.
Man I remember that 1st sweet chin music 😂 it was difficult tryna do it im 31yrs old now I dam near played most of these wrestling games
Seems they finally got the realism once 2k17 to 2k22 came out.
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.
WWE WAR ZONE bring back memories now 'm gonna bring that game back again for my N64
Absolutely great graphics for the time.
Stone Cold with the no sell lol
Lmao I just commented this before seeing your comment 😂
SVR1 was the best. Animation to timing of the kick. Still the best game imo too
Here comes the pain
That warzone sweet chin music was so hard to hit. But when i did. boy was it satisfying.
2008 when he had the ref stuck in the corner is the most Shawn Michaels thing ever 😂😂😂😂
There were so many wrestling games between 2000 and 2005
You missing some games wwf WrestleMania the arcade version, in your house and wwf attitude bud, love the video
"He's putting those educated feet to good use."
2007 sweet chain music is my favorite one
Their hair moves a little better each year. I think that’s where most of the budget goes.
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..?
2k drained the life out of it like every other title they own
It all went too PG just like the wwe has. They will never beat the attitude era
@@james2479 dumm dumm dumm dumm dummmmm
Man... when raw is war dropped on the N64.. the stunner and SCM were the only two moves I wanted to learn😂
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.
Those day of reckoning 2 graphics are fucking mind blowing!!!!!
You forgot the THQ games on N64.
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!
Wow they had the same the animation and sound effect until 2009! I never noticed.
2:07 if you tap L1 again on that one it will do a 360.
svr2008 2:30 explosive gunshot
Wwe13 5:40 a light smack
Just like in real life, the super kick lost its power once shawn retired lmao
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.
I know I can't be the only one that laughed at the knee slap sound effect
It's been in games since 1995! Lol
Bro choose top superstars by year.. VS sweet chin music 👌
They forgotten 3 games. Raw & Raw 2 on Xbox and Royal Rumble from Dreamcast.
Man i have some good memories with 12 and 13
Bro I forgot about the finisher sfx in the SVR games that was so fucking cool
HCTP Sweetchin music my favorite
0:53 the best sweet chin music variation of all time!!!
I still remember when my friend did that move to me when I was a kid
after 2011 it started getting weird
WWE is the only game no matter its graphics were of lower quality but still loved by many
Funny that when HBK used its sweet chin music yet when anyone does it, it's super kick
2008 clears. So much impact.
Shut your mouth, my favorite, the camera angles when u did a smack was so good, especially for highfliers like jeff hardy’s swanton bomb or RVD 5 star frog splash ❤
Ah yes,the old games showing replays 4 x in case you missed the previous 3
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.
2:57 sooooo that’s what happened when Shawn would super kick the wrestlers on tv a shotgun blast to the face I always knew he had a loaded foot 😂
Massive fan of Stone Cold no selling a Sweet Chin Music!
Smack down serious sweet chin music are one ☝️ of the best
Great Video 😍😍😍
Even in video games he does the thigh slap
>aj about to be kicked
"...tell us about AJ styles "
Bam
Here comes the pain sweet chin music was the greatest imo
HBK is the man
That spin around before they fall was a terrible decision, and they kept that for 3 games straight. Jeez.
Shows how over the years they didn't do shit and sold the same gave over and over again to make good money.
There are 2 Nintendo 64 games featuring the sweet chin music Wrestlemania 2000 and No Mercy
Here come's the pain 🔥🔥🔥
Here comes the pain was such a brutal one haha
2:12 You love to see it.
I just miss the GM mode on SVR
The 2K17 animation was so realistic. Similar to WM14 Sweet Chin Music attempt on Austin but failed.
day of reckoning and
svr 08 have the best effects
Where is WWF Raw SNES ,WWF wrestlemania Arcade or Wrestlemania 2000 ?
The animation from Smackdown 2 has been used for years
The new games just don't have that impact
0:53 That slap is way too sexual
Wwf attitude one of the first wrestling games I ever played good times playing that game and actually had the wrestlers voices unlike new 2k who give us the same ol wrestling game by copying and paste and HBK deserves his own showcase more then Rey mysterio and John cena.
You're missing Wrestlemania The Arcade Game. Shawn did have Sweet Chin Music, even though it was just a regular move.
This game shows you how soft wwe has gotten over the years far as the Arena’s going from dark to bright colors with LED boards and stuff wwe has lost that tough image
