WWE '12 Guide › Essentials › Creations

Creating a Superstar

Our first Superstar creation: “The American Ninja” Maximus Jetski

Maximus Jetski’s Roster Application Form. This saves your Superstar’s details.

Physical Appearance

The look of your Superstar can change from size, features, muscling, and attire. Each area can adjusted with slider bars from subtle appearance changes to the outrageous.

You start with 48 points to spend, and each manipulation costs a certain number of points to complete. Keep a close eye on the cost as you cycle through the options.

Note

Use the left analog stick to move through the menus and the right analog stick to zoom and rotate your creation. Some slider adjustments will be visable only from a side, back, or front view.

The shoulder buttons cycle through the different areas on the body (left to right in the top-left menu).

Use the left analog stick to move through the menus and the right analog stick to zoom and rotate your creation. Some slider adjustments will be visable only from a side, back, or front view.

The shoulder buttons cycle through the different areas on the body (left to right in the top-left menu).

Head

Head, face, hair, marks, and scars can all be modified from the Head menu. Cycle through the menu to see all your options, then you’ll have an idea of the depth of this creation tool. Here, we’ve included screenshots of some of our choices for Maximus Jetski.

Face template and age

Marks and scars

Hair

Eyes, eyelashes, and eyebrows

Ears, nose, and mouth

Note

For the algebraically-challenged: In moving around some features on the face you’ll be asked to use the x-axis (left to right) and the y-axis (up and down). Math lesson, no extra charge.

Jaw, cranium, and cheeks

Customizing Templates

Dingy brown to…

…surf hair, brah.

Colors can be customized after you choose the template. Here, we decided to change Maximus Jetski’s hair from a light brown to a California-esque frosty blonde. First we lightened the Shade field by sliding the bar over to the right about 25 points.

Then we moved the red dot indicator on the Color Picker until we found just the sun-kissed yellow we were looking for. Dude…totally…

Body: Height and Weight

Now you can create your size and shape. When choosing your height and weight stats, you will by default select your weight class, and different weight classes have certain attribute strengths in the ring.

You’ll access the attribute sliders right before you finalize your Superstar, but take into consideration what kind of Superstar you want to create: a big bruiser like Big Show or a high-flying luchador like Sin Cara. Selecting a smaller Superstar weight class will limit your power, but will allow for a speedy and agile Superstar.

Selecting one of the bigger weight classes will open up the power and durability, but you’ll be slower. The other attributes (Recovery, Charisma, and Tag Team) can be maxed out.

Body: Size and Shape

Selecting a size picks your muscle template.

Manipulating the Shape features allows you to tweak body part details.

Select the body size for your Superstar. Are you a Husky Harris or an Ezekiel Jackson type? From here, move on to the Shape menu to customize every tiny detail of your body. Typically you’ll be able to modify the length, width, height, depth, or angle, depending on the body part or muscle group.

Chest

Abs

Arms and biceps: Welcome to the gun show!

Legs and feet

Clothing

In creating a proper ensemble for your Superstar, know that you’ll have to create a Ring Attire for your Superstar’s in-ring exploits, an Entrance Attire for the walk down the ramp to the ring, and a Cinematic Attire for the starring role in any of the dramatic cutscenes.

There are plenty of options for each attire, so cycle through and check them out. You can also grab some templates to make it easy.

Dapper in a suit

High school jock

Gorilla

Pirate

Note

Create a Ring Attire, Entrance Attire, and Cinematic Attire for your Superstar by moving over to the Other menu on the top-left of the screen. Whichever attire you are editing will be grayed out on the menu.

Shirts and logos

Shorts or pants

Headwear

Body accessories

Horns???

Masks

Menu Screen Pose and Crowd Signs

Choose the pose that will show up in the menu. You can also choose signs for the crowd that will represent you!

Abilities and Attributes

Here choose your attributes and abilities. We chose Hammer Throw, Comeback, Move Thief, Leverage Pin, and Ring Escape as our abilities. After sliding all the attribute sliders to the maximum for a light heavyweight, our overall rating was 100.

Finalize

In the Finalize screen you’ll complete your Roster Application Form. You can create your Superstar name and an abbreviated name, and also choose from a list of nicknames the announcers will say during your matches. Select your cheers or boos, and finally what show you’re a part of: Raw, SmackDown, NXT, etc.
