WWF SmackDown!

The game uses a 3D ring-side perspective and lets players choose from singles, tag team, and other match setups. Core actions include strikes, grapples, running attacks, pins, climbing, and signature finishers. Progression in its season-style content comes through winning matches and advancing through event-like structures. Wrestlers have distinct attributes and move sets, and ring positioning matters when setting up finishers, Irish whips, corner attacks, and pin attempts.

The Rock

One of the promotion's biggest stars, with balanced stats and iconic signature offense.

Stone Cold Steve Austin

A top WWF headliner known for aggressive attacks and a highly recognizable finisher.

Triple H

A versatile wrestler mixing power and technique, effective in sustained pressure.

Undertaker

A powerhouse character with imposing reach, heavy offense, and a distinctive presence.

Kane

A strength-focused wrestler built around impactful strikes and powerful grapples.

Do not go for pins too early; spend time damaging your opponent with grapples and strikes first. Learn each wrestler's finisher setup and ideal spacing so you can capitalize when momentum shifts. Against stronger opponents, use movement and running attacks to interrupt their offense before they can build pressure. In tag matches, watch both partners carefully and time your pin attempts when the opposing teammate is down or unable to break it up.

Tips and tricks

• Master one wrestler's basic attacks and finisher timing before switching to others.
• Landing a finisher before attempting a pin greatly improves your odds of getting the three-count.
• Use ring position smartly, especially near corners and ropes, to control match flow.
