The final hit of a combo (Combo Ender) can also be a Grapple and deals bonus damage.Each Superstar has 30 different Combos available, and the assigned moves for each combo can be customized in Create-A-Moveset. The Pause Menu also features a full list of combos for the Superstars you're playing as.The reversal system in WWE 2K23 follows the same mechanisms as the ones introduced last year in WWE 2K22.Unlike previous games in the 2K series, there is no longer a limit on how many reversals you can perform.Like WWE 2K22, there is no longer just one single reversal button. WWE 2K23 features various defensive options, with different types of reversals and blocks.Here below we explain all the different reversal types available in WWE 2K23:WWE 2K23 also features a Stun Meter. When you hit your opponent with various attacks, such as Light Attacks, you fill their Stun Meter.Just like last year, in WWE 2K23, you can pin your opponent by flicking down on the right analog stick ().Note: In most matches, you can only pin your opponent inside the ring.The Kick Out system has been changed in WWE 2K23 compared to last year and previous WWE 2K games.There is a new timed Pin Minigame, where the cursor and the target zone move back and forth, and you have to hit by flicking up on the right analog stick .The less remaining health you have, the harder it will be to hit the target zone. Also, Superstars are most vulnerable to pins after being with a Signature or Finisher.If you have at least two bars of the Special Meter filled in, in WWE 2K23 you can kick out immediately from a pin by using the Resiliency Payback. This is done by pressing + on PlayStation, or + on Xbox.If you're near the ropes, you can press the / button when prompted to grab the ropes and obtain a rope break. However, there is a chance that the referee will not notice the break, so only use this as a last resort!If you prefer the previous kick-out system from WWE 2K22, which worked as a button mashing method, it can still be used by enabling it in the Gameplay Options.With this system, while getting pinned you have to button-mash the (on PS) or (Xbox) button. This will fill a meter until you kick out of the pin.Note: There is also an option to switch all button mash minigames to press-and-hold instead.After entering the grab/lock-up state with / , you can lift, carry and drag the opponent with the following controls:ActionPS5 / PS4Xbox OneDrag Opponent (inside Grab)(+ )(+ )Initiate Carry (inside Grab)(+ )(+ )Lift into Powerbomb Position(+ )(+ )Lift into Cradle Position(+ )(+Lift into Fireman's Carry[pad-R1 (+ )(+ )Lift into Shoulder Carry(+ )(+ )Turn Moves Into Carry (while performing a qualifying move)Carry/Drag the Opponent AroundChange Carry PositionSlam Opponent / Complete MoveEnvironmental AttackThrow Over Ropes / Off StageRelease Carry / Drag(As Defender) Escape Carry / DragActionPS5 / PS4Xbox OnePick up WeaponGrab Weapon from under the RingPrimary AttackSecondary AttackDrop ObjectThrow Object Into / Out of Ring++Lean / Wedge Object in Corner++Set up Ladder / TableLift Opponent Onto TableClimb Ladder / Cage / CellPush Ladder DownRapidly pressRapidly pressRotate Standing LadderHold +Hold +Set up Ladder Bridge (near Apron)&nbsp;&nbsp;Ignite Table (Extreme Rules)++Call for the Door in Steel CageIn WWE 2K23 you can now also perform taunts while holding a weapon.What do you think about the WWE 2K23 Control Scheme?
