How to Play WWF No Mercy (USA)?

For an optimal experience, an N64 controller is recommended. Since this is an N64 style game, you can use the following control setup if playing on a PC:

• Movement: Use the Arrow Keys to move your wrestler around the ring and run with the A Button.
• Grapple: Press the A Button (Z Key) to lock up with an opponent.
• Strike: Use the B Button (X Key) to punch or kick your opponent.
• Block/Reversal: Hold the R Button to block incoming attacks. Press it at the right moment during an opponent's move to perform a reversal.
• Special Moves (Finishers): Build your Momentum Meter by performing offensive moves. Once it's flashing, you can execute your wrestler's devastating signature finisher.
• Taunt: Press the C Buttons (A, S, D Keys) to perform a taunt, which can help build momentum.

Here are the steps to win a standard one-on-one match:

1. Use the Arrow Keys to position your wrestler close to your opponent.
2. Press the A Button (Z Key) to initiate a grapple or the B Button (X Key) to strike them.
3. Once in a grapple, press a direction on the Arrow Keys combined with the A Button to perform different slams and throws.
4. Weaken your opponent by repeatedly attacking them. A health meter will appear above their head showing their damage.
5. To pin your opponent, stand over them when they are down and press the A Button.
6. To make them submit, apply a submission hold (typically performed via a grapple combo) and hold it until they give up.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I perform a wrestler's special move? To perform a Special move, you must first fill your Momentum Meter by successfully hitting your opponent with strikes and grapples. When the meter starts flashing, you are in "Special" state. Approach your groggy opponent and press the grapple button to automatically perform your character's unique finisher.

What is the difference between the Championship and Adventure season modes? The Championship Mode is a more straightforward singles competition where you fight through a bracket for a title. The Adventure Mode (often called the Season Mode) is a much deeper experience with a narrative story, branching paths, backstage brawls, and dialogue choices that can lead to different outcomes and unlockable content.

Can I create custom wrestlers and championships? Yes, WWF No Mercy features an incredibly robust creation suite. You can create male and female wrestlers from scratch, customizing their appearance, outfits, move-sets, entrances, and victory motions. You can also create and name your own custom championships to fight for in exhibition matches.
