Virtual Pro Wrestling Salvo
Hack of WCW/nWo Revenge
Description
Virtual Pro Wrestling Salvo is the second attempted ROM hack of WCW/nWo Revenge, created by RagDas.

Unlike WCW/nWo REVENJI, Salvo remains in English, and while there are commonalities, Salvo takes everything REVENJI did and pushes it farther than ever before:
- 11 new characters, including Ric Flair (originally planned for Revenge) and nWo Sting (dummied out of the final game)
- All DAW and EWF characters converted to their real identities
- Imported moves and taunts from later games
- Running Special Grapples un-dummied (hold Control Stick while running when in Special; certain characters only)
- New edit mode costume items

As with La Fin Du Tour, there is no theme to this hack. The main selling point is that rather than replace people from the base roster, it is now possible to add new characters to the game without having to replace said base roster members.

New characters and the stables you can find them in are as follows:
- Ric Flair (WCW 1)
- nWo Sting (nWo White) (originally dummied out character)
- Steve Austin (WWF)
- Shawn Michaels (WWF)
- The Undertaker (WWF)
- The Rock (WWF)
- Kane (WWF)
- Cactus Jack (WWF)
- Wrath (WCW 2) - now complete and with his own costume
- Mitsuharu Misawa (AJPW)
- Vader (AJPW)

Recostuming of DAW and EWF roster is summarized below:
- Shogun → Toshiaki Kawada (AJPW)
- Executioner → Kenta Kobashi (AJPW)
- Dr. Frank → Jumbo Tsuruta (AJPW)
- Jekel → Dr. Death (AJPW)
- Maya Inca Boy → Akira Taue (AJPW)
- Hawk Hana → Gen'ichiro Tenryu (Free)
- Kim Chee → Koji Kitao (Free)
- Dake Ken → Atsushi Onita (Free)
- Brickowski → Kodo Fuyuki (Free)
- Ming Chee → Tarzan Goto (Free)
- Han Zo Mon → Hayabusa (Free)

More information can be found in the README file, including information on additional costume changes and alternate characters that you can play as.

Some bugs to be aware of:
1) It has been reported that playing as Cactus Jack will sometimes cause a white freeze frame to appear before entrances, effectively locking the game; this does not appear to happen in every match with Cactus, and it is currently not known what causes the issue. RagDas recommends not running through championship mode with Cactus Jack on this basis.
2) Renaming people will sometimes cause other characters to be renamed and recostumed (e.g. renaming Stone Cold will affect Lex Luger). To rectify this, simply defaulting the affected character across P1-P4 costumes will result in their being normal again, without undoing your name change to the intended character.

This hack would not be possible without freem, who provided the foundation via documentation, as well as the means to modify the AKI games: VPW Studio. It would also not be possible without Melonbread, who served as a research partner and is responsible for the discovery of Running Grapples (read: Running SPECIAL Grapples) in Revenge. A special thanks to SK Stylez as well, as the lessons in hacking Revenge from the REVENJI days continued to be relevant in the development of VPW Salvo.
