IV. Play Modes
"Flat on the mat!"

In Super Brawl, you can play in several different modes. You can 
play at three different difficulty levels (TV, United States, and World; 
TV is easiest) and you can set different victory conditions for your matches. 
You can make it a one-fall match, where the first man to get pinned for a three 
count, stay out of the ring for a ten count, or get locked in a submission for a 
ten count (Huh?) loses. You can also set it for three falls, which is the same 
thing as one fall except it's a best 3 out of 5 type thing.  Or, you could have 
it set to 3, 5, 10, or 15 minutes. Basically, whoever gets the most falls within 
thetime limit wins. (Sort of like a shorter version of a WWF/E Iron Man match.) 
You can also choose whether you want out-of-the-ring countouts to occur or not.

In the one-player mode, you can play three types of event; a single match (One 
on one or tag team), a tournament (also one on one or tag team), or the Ultimate 
Challenge! (Dramatic evil scary music) 

The single match is what it sounds like; a single match. You pick your character 
or two, the computer picks its guy(s) and you fight, that simple.

Tournament is an 8-man (or 4-team if you pick tag team mode) tourney. You pick 
your guy(s), the computer fills out the brackets, and you must win to advance.

The Ultimate Challenge (Ominous musical chord) is a singles mode. You pick a 
wrestler, then fight every other wrestler, one at a time. Once again, win to 
advance.

The two-player mode is basically like the one player single match, except it's, 
well, two-player.

Profile (from the game): "Combining the knowledge from his father, Dusty 
Rhodes, with his own skills and moves he has become a prominent 
competitor in WCW."

Dustin grabs his target in a headlock, runs forward a bit, and then drops him, 
busting up the opponent's face.

*Vader*
"You want Vader?"

Weight: 448 lbs.

Profile (from the game): "Opponents tremble for their lives when Vader steps 
into the ring with his crippling Powerbomb. In the words of the big man 
himself, the name of the game is PAIN!"
 
Finisher: Power Bomb (B & Y in front of standing opponent)
Vader scoops his opponent up like a tombstone, then runs across the ring and 
falls on him, pinning him. (Note: this is actually a running powerslam, not a 
powerbomb.)

Height: 6' 3"
Weight: 252 lbs.

Profile (from the game): "His awesome wrestling maneuvers and devastating Rude 
Awakening bring opponents to their knees."

wrapped around opponent's chin.

Height: 6' 1"
Weight: 245 lbs.

Profile (from the game): "Flair's knee drop and figure four leg lock are feared 
by his opponents. He has held nearly every title in professional wrestling and

sucks.

Real Name: Rick Steiner
Height: 5' 11"
Weight: 255 lbs.

Profile (from the game): "The 'Dogface Gremlin' has a nasty pit-bull like 
attitude, which makes this tough compact bruiser one of the fiercest and most 
brutal wrestlers around."

Finisher: Steiner Line (B & Y in front of standing opponent)

The DFG launches himself at his opponent and tackles him to the mat. (This 
looks a little like a spear, but the SNES graphics make it hard to tell. I'll 
give them the benefit of the doubt.)

*Sting*
"OOOOOWWWWWWW!"

Real Name: Steve Borden
Height: 6' 3"
Weight: 262 lbs.

Profile (from the game): "In the prime of his career, Sting spends most of his 
time weight training, body surfing, boating, water skiing, and getting out in 
the sun. His motto: 'We're having fun now!'"

Finisher: Scorpion Death Lock (B & Y in front of standing opponent)
Sting hits a jumping clothesline, then grabs the opponent's legs and forms sort 
of an "X"with them. (This move, specifically the leg-hold part, is also known 
as the Sharpshooter.)

Real Name: Brian Pillman (?)
Height: 6' 0"

his 'attitude'."

Finisher: Flying Sunset Flip (B & Y from the top rope on a standing opponent)

(PS: Good Lord is this move hard to hit!)

Height: 6' 1"
Weight: 255 lbs.

Profile (from the game): "A former All American college wrestler, this athlete 
combines histremendous strength with amazing agility to make himself an awesome 
force in wrestling."

Finisher: Frankensteiner (B & Y in front of standing opponent)
Scott jumps up into a sitting position with his legs around his opponent's 
head, then flips backwards in a VERY impressive move, dropping his poor target 
to the mat.

*Ron Simmons*
"Show me respect."

Real Name: Ron Simmons
Height: 6' 1"
Weight: 285 lbs.

Profile (from the game): "On August 2, 1992, Simmons pinned the 448-pound Vader 
to become the first African-American to wear the coveted WCW World Heavyweight 
Championship Belt."

Finisher: Power Slam (B & Y in front of standing opponent)
Ron lifts his opponent up in a tombstone position, then charges forward and 
falls, landing on him, but not pinning him. (A lot like Vader's finisher 
without the pin.)

*Ricky Steamboat*
"Who deserves the belt?"

Real Name: ?
Height: 6' 2"
Weight: 232 lbs.

Profile (from the game): "He works martial arts magic every time he steps into 
the ring. Ricky has mastered the power behind the mysteries of the Orient.

opponent down into a pin.

Davidson rider'sruthlessness has seen many broken alliances on his way to the 
top."

Finisher: Superplex (B & Y in front of standing opponent)
Barry lifts his opponent up, waits a second, then delivers a vertical suplex. 
(This is most definitely NOT a superplex. This is a stalling suplex.)
