How To Play WWE '12?

Limb targeting-

Now that you have read what the controls are for this years game, Lets talk about limb targeting. First you have to initiate a grapple, then hold RB + Y,X,B,A will execute a move to the body part assigned to that button. Y = head, X = Left Arm, B = Right Arm, A = Legs. We were told that there is no ay to target the body since all move tend to hurt the in the some form, makes sense. Most Superstars in the E3 build had the same Limb targeting moves and when I mentioned that to THQ they informed me that it would be tied to a superstars weight class. Since most superstars in the E3 are around the same Weight class they had the same moves.

Targeting limbs really has different negative effects on your opponent depending on which body part you target.

Head- Causes opponent to be groggy more quickly and longer

Arms = Opponent dealing out less damage

Legs = Will effect running/ Adrenaline a person has

The main time I seen this being useful for me was when I was wrestling with a wrestler that had a Submission Finisher, like Del Rio’s Cross Arm bar or Cena’s STFU
