...but since he can pack it, as it says so on his Superstar Card...

Yes, we designed him with that card in mind, so its intended.  Although that reversing Ability, while annoying to play against at times (darn you, Daniel Bryan! haha) it is rather limited, and cuts down on recursion options for Bryan later in the game.

For the Rookies, though, its good to help get that handsize up... you can burn out a little faster, but get that extra boost to your hand early on.

The ones with zero SSV can always drop underrated, too. NXT looks sweet with Barrett

[Rio D]

With Gen Con right around the corner, let's get these cards out!!    . I am really excited!

Didn't creed say that the new set wouldnt be legal for gencon? Something about play testers having an... "Edge"...

Unless that was not youre intention.

[CreedP]

I think he meant that he's hoping we can still debut the set at GenCon.  I'm hoping we will, we just have a few more hurdles to clear.. but we're closer to done than not, heh.

Why so many superstars! there are too much I think!

[Buddha Dudley]

QFT.  Though I don't think this is a bad thing.

[piperspitt]

While the sheer number is overwhelming for building/printing/playing, it's nice for those that want current wrestlers and I assume it's beneficial for playtesting more at once.

[CreedP]

Weird, usually when you give people more.. for FREE.. they don't complain.  I guess some people just always complain, no matter what you do.  Oh well.

Considering we haven't put out ANY Superstars since last summer, the 40 Superstars in Virtual 5 is the payoff for a year's work (not to mention all the design beforehand, etc) and playtesting.  Also, its been helpful to design with everything all at once, so if (Superstar X) is too good with (card Z), we can look at which one needs changing, or whether its an issue more Superstars will have, etc.

That said, I do think we'll be looking at a change for the future.  What I've been considering is having Virtual 6 and 7 as mainly just Superstar sets (and probably some support cards)  They might have themes but primarily its just to release some of the many Superstars we STILL have under wraps.  Then, Virtual 8 would be a 'full set', so to speak - where we'd release non-Superstar-specific cards along with some new Superstars.

I suspect this has been a long 'year' of playtesting for those kind enough to help, and after the post GenCon break, I also suspect they'd be happier doing smaller sets with breaks in between, like the 'old days' heh.

So, how does one help play test? I have a regular playgroup that would love to help with that and provide vast amounts of results to help out. My play group consists of at least 8 people. We play a couple of times a week and discuss the game regularly. We would relish the opportunity to play test!!!

[piperspitt]

I don't think anybody means at as a complaint, more like "it's so good that it should be spread out over a longer period of time."
It's really a compliment of how awesome these cards are going to be.

Me personally, I'm still building SNME decks. My ass better hurry up.

It starts by sending your commissioner a check for $34.95...

I Know its Random and all but would Maria ever be made?

I'd drop $40.00 instantly if that were the case. I should probably donate something regardless.

[CreedP]

Never say never, but it would be difficult... older Superstars who haven't been active in the last couple years are harder to find pictures for.  And in her case, its tough because her gimmick was being ditzy... that's a challenge to translate into card effects, heh.

CREED

[Trips 27 A.K.A. TIK]

Cool... Thankz for the response... I think during the end she wasn't so ditzy...But I'll just keep wishing and hoping she will be come a raw deal set in the future...Thankz again

[superradjoe]

How does it work with the cards "coming out at Gencon"?  I guess my question is when will the viewers at home get to see the full set in comparison?  Afterwards?  Partially before/after?  Not looking for an exact date, just wondering how that will play out.

[CreedP]

We'll see... it might be one of those things where the GenCon attendees get 'first look' and we start spoilers shortly after that.

That'd be sweet.  Looking forward to it.

its not particularly amazing, but its useful and not broken so I can't ask for more

hoping he gets some nice backlash deck cards

[CreedP]

[SPOILER ALERT]  He does. 

Rest assured that somebody will, indeed, get they a$% kicked... their wig split.. and ALL will suffer. 

CREED

[Rio D]

I am very interested in playing him!  I also had a question, will you be taking suggestions for the "thrownback" prize cards again?

[CreedP]

Probably.. but we're not worried about that right now, so let's hold off on the shouting out of card titles, heh...

I don't know.  Having the ability to pack three 0 fort reversals that reverse any card except snap suplex sounds pretty powerful to me.
