The Mirthful Menace has WWE 2K15 Jun 22 @ 4:47am
A Comprehensive Gameplay Guide
I've been seeing a couple of threads on here about the controls for this game. If you haven't played any of the previous WWE games that came out in the last decade or so or are just new to the series, then I'm going to explain the gameplay controls for you as best I can seeing as how that's what most of you are struggling with. Keep in mind that I play with a controller, so this guide will pertain to using that (sorry keyboard users, you'll either have to wait until I get comfortable enough playing with the keyboard or wait until someone else posts the controls).
BASIC CONTROLS (using Xbox 360/PS3 controllers)
Left Analog Stick – Moves your Superstar/Diva.
D-Pad (Directional Pad) – Used for taunting.
Left Trigger (LT)/L2 – Run.
Right Trigger (RT)/R2 – Reversals. Must time your reversals.
Left Bumper (LB)/L1 – Climb turnbuckle, exiting/entering the ring, pickup weapons.
Right Bumper (RB)/R1 – Switch between finisher and signature if you have both.
100% gives you a Signature, 150% or successfully performing a Signature Move gives you a Finisher.
The Fired Up skill allows you to store up to 3 Finishers.
Left Stick Press(LS)/L3 – Switches targets if manual targeting is on.
Back/Select – Hold to view your body condition.

Y/Triangle – Perform your Signature, Finisher, or OMG Moment (more on that later).
LT/L2 and RT/R2 together + Left Analog Stick Movement – Drags your standing, grappled, or grounded opponent.
The Right Analog Stick has multiple purposes.
