AEW Fight Forever: 14 Tiny Details That'll Blow Your Mind
3. Advanced Entrance Hand Gestures
Mo-capping the exact eccentricities of a wrestler's entrance into a video game is indisputably one of the toughest aspects of development. They're often cited as the coup de grace of a game, a real make-or-break opportunity for the developers that will form the audience's immediate perception of the game and those involved in making it - so it's insane that AEW has managed to nail the bulk of Fight Forever's entrances while allowing for nitty customisation.
Not only can you apply, for example, Adam Cole's entrance to MJF, but you can change his two-finger point towards the sky to an array of other mannerisms on offer, notably including the Bullet Club/D-Generation X-inspired too sweet hand gesture that will allow anyone from MJF himself to Aubrey Edwards to become a Biz Cliz member.
This is insane in the best way. WWE 2K offers this level of personalisation when choosing a wrestler's menu screen pose, but to do so for entrances and to have each flow seamlessly with the varied hand gestures? Perhaps it's why there was an almost three-year gap between Fight Forever's unveiling and its release.
