Understanding Body Types
WWE 2K20 offers a diverse range of body types, from towering giants to agile high-flyers. Each body type comes with unique attributes and animations, affecting your wrestler’s performance in the ring.
Accessing the Customization Menu
To embark on your body-sculpting journey, you’ll need to navigate to the customization menu. This is your gateway to transforming your wrestler’s appearance and capabilities. Here’s how to access it⁚
- From the Main Menu⁚ Select “Create a Superstar” from the main menu. This will take you to the character creation screen.
- From the Roster⁚ If you’re working with an existing wrestler, head to the “My Roster” section, select the wrestler you want to modify, and choose “Edit” from the options.
- From the Match Setup⁚ If you’re setting up a match, you can customize your wrestler’s appearance within the match setup menu. Look for the “Edit” option for the wrestler you wish to modify.
Once you’ve accessed the customization menu, you’ll be presented with a wealth of options. Look for the “Body” section, which will be your hub for all body type adjustments.
Navigating the customization menu is fairly intuitive. Use the directional buttons (or the analog stick) to move between different categories, and the “X” or “A” button to select options. You’ll be able to fine-tune every aspect of your wrestler’s physique, from their overall build to their muscle definition.
Remember⁚ The customization menu is your creative playground. Don’t be afraid to experiment and try different combinations until you find the perfect look for your wrestler. The possibilities are endless!
Modifying Body Proportions
Within the “Body” section of the customization menu, you’ll find a range of sliders that allow you to modify your wrestler’s proportions. These sliders give you granular control over their height, weight, muscle mass, and more. Let’s break down the key sliders and their impact on your wrestler’s appearance and in-game performance⁚
- Height⁚ This slider controls your wrestler’s overall height. Taller wrestlers tend to have an advantage in terms of reach and power, while shorter wrestlers might be more agile and difficult to hit.
- Weight⁚ This slider adjusts your wrestler’s weight. Heavier wrestlers will have more momentum and power, but might be slower and less nimble. Lighter wrestlers might be faster and more agile, but may lack the raw power of their heavier counterparts.
- Head Size⁚ This slider lets you adjust the size of your wrestler’s head. While this is purely aesthetic, it can impact how they look in different costumes and masks. Experiment to find a head size that complements your wrestler’s overall look.
- Torso Length⁚ This slider controls the length of your wrestler’s torso. A longer torso might give your wrestler a more imposing presence, while a shorter torso could enhance their agility.
- Leg Length⁚ This slider adjusts the length of your wrestler’s legs. Longer legs can improve speed and agility, while shorter legs might give your wrestler more power and stability.
- Arm Length⁚ This slider controls the length of your wrestler’s arms. Longer arms can increase reach and striking power, while shorter arms might be better for grappling and close-quarters combat.
Remember, there’s no right or wrong way to adjust these proportions. Experiment with different combinations to find a look that fits your wrestler’s personality and fighting style. You can even create a wrestler with exaggerated proportions for a truly unique look. The possibilities are endless!
Adjusting Muscle Mass and Definition
Once you’ve established the foundation of your wrestler’s body type with the proportion sliders, it’s time to sculpt their physique. The “Muscle” section of the customization menu offers a range of options for defining your wrestler’s muscle mass and definition. Here’s how to achieve the desired look for your wrestling superstar⁚
- Overall Muscle Mass⁚ This slider controls the overall amount of muscle on your wrestler’s body. Slide it to the left for a leaner, more athletic physique, or to the right for a more muscular, powerful build. This setting will affect the size of your wrestler’s arms, legs, chest, and back.
- Chest Definition⁚ This slider controls the definition of your wrestler’s chest muscles. Increase the slider for a more sculpted, ripped look, or decrease it for a softer, less defined chest. This is a great tool for creating different body types, from the classic “wrestler’s physique” to a more lean and athletic appearance.
- Ab Definition⁚ This slider adjusts the definition of your wrestler’s abdominal muscles. Increase the slider for a six-pack, or decrease it for a more relaxed, less defined stomach. This option is great for creating a variety of body types, from the classic “wrestler’s physique” to a more lean and athletic appearance.
- Arm Definition⁚ This slider controls the definition of your wrestler’s arm muscles. Increase the slider for more defined biceps and triceps, or decrease it for a less defined, more natural look. This helps you create a range of arm shapes, from the massive biceps of a powerlifter to the lean and toned arms of a martial artist.
- Leg Definition⁚ This slider controls the definition of your wrestler’s leg muscles. Increase the slider for more defined quadriceps and hamstrings, or decrease it for a less defined, more natural look. This allows you to create a variety of leg shapes, from the powerful legs of a sprinter to the lean and toned legs of a wrestler.
Don’t be afraid to experiment with these sliders to find the perfect muscle definition for your wrestler. Remember, the key is to create a physique that complements their fighting style and personality. A powerful wrestler might benefit from more muscle mass, while a more agile wrestler might look better with a leaner physique. Let your creativity run wild and design a wrestler that truly stands out from the crowd!
