Step into the squared circle with WWF SmackDown! 2, a legendary professional wrestling game released for the PS1 in 2000. Developed by Yuke’s, this fast-paced sports entertainment title expanded on its predecessor with a massive Attitude Era roster and the introduction of Hell in a Cell matches. Its arcade-style grappling engine makes it an enduring classic of the genre.
How to Play
The goal is to defeat your opponent via pinfall, submission, count-out, or by fulfilling specific match stipulations like climbing the ladder. In the browser emulator, use the Arrow Keys for movement. Press X to strike, Z to grapple (combine with arrows for different moves), A to block or reverse, and S to run. Use Enter to pause (Start) and Shift to taunt or perform a finishing move when your momentum meter is flashing (Select).
Tips
- Master Reversals: Timing your block (A key) just as an opponent executes a strike or grapple will reverse their attack and instantly shift momentum.
- Exploit the Environment: In hardcore or no-disqualification matches, press the grapple key (Z) near the ringside announce tables or weapons to pick them up and deal heavy damage.
- Save Your Smackdown: Wait for your opponent to be stunned or heavily damaged before using your finishing move (Shift) to ensure they can’t kick out of the resulting pin.
