0.7 - Completed characteristics listing, the first part of this FAQ to reach 100%, but far

3) Getting Extra Abilities/Characteristics
------------------------------------------

There are a ton of different characteristics to choose from when you create your
character. But, a lot of them aren't available until you've unlocked them (by
recieving them) in Pre-Season. The following is a fairly well-started list of
hidden characteristics, with descriptions on how to get them.

Power Attack +/- - Seems to come from using high level power moves repeatedly in
a match. Winning will get you a plus, normally, losing will give
a minus.
Technic Attack +/- - Seems to come from using high level technical moves repeatedly in
a match. Winning will get you a plus, normally, losing will give
a minus.
Speed Attack +/- - Seems to come from using high level speed moves repeatedly in a
match. Winning will get you a plus, normally, losing will give
a minus.
Rough Attack +/- - Seems to come from using high level rough moves repeatedly in
a match. Winning will get you a plus, normally, losing will give a
minus.
Power Def. +/- - Seems to come from using high level rough moves repeatedly in a match.

minus.

earned through winning or losing a match, telling a person
thanks or shut up, and attacking or not attacking someone.

First off, I want to thank everyone that e-mailed me. The comments were all very positive,
and I'm very glad I wrote this. As for why, I wrote this FAQ out of frustration that
there were no decent FAQ's explaining how to get Stephanie McMahon. Even after creating this
FAQ, I still have no clue what the game sites mean by "Stage 65/House Show ED8: Stephanie
McMahon", so for all those who didn't understand either, I hope this helps. Comments are always
appreciated. Also, this FAQ is GROSSLY incomplete, but due to the size of the storylines in
Normal Mode alone, it's a daunting task to catalogue all the outcomes. If anyone wants to help,
just send me your pre-season details, preferably in the form I've already used, but a simple
"Match 2, lost to Shane, faced Test in match 3" will do. Please do let me know the difficulty
level you were playing at, of course. Thanks for any help to add to this FAQ on probably the
best wrestling game made thus far.
