There are 10 characters to choose from, in 1 on 1, 8. Slamasters is made by Capcom, the same people that made Street Fighter 2 and Darkstalkers. The Object The object of the game is to beat your opponent(s) by either pinning them, making them give up, or keeping them out of the ring for 20 seconds.

This works well because you inflict a lot of damage upon them, while they don't even touch you. The second stratagy is the grab and slam. Just grab your opponent, and do a move that gets them on the ground. Preferrably, a super slam. Then, walk over to them, pull them up, and do your super slam again. Repeat this process up to three times. Note some characters can't do this because their super slam doesn't set them up well for another one. The third stratagy is to get you opponent out of the ring (1 player match only) then pummle him with the weapons outside of the ring. Hammer Throwing him also works well, since they hit the railing which takes a good amount of energy from him. Sometimes, usually on the first opponent, I get him to come out of the ring, then I just keep him down on the floor and barely make it in the 20 count. This is most easily accomplished by hammer throwing him against the far guard rail when the count is at about 17 or 18. The only problem is if the computer doesn't give up right away and manages to delay your hammer throw, or slam you, you could either end up losing the match, or getting a D.K.O. (Double Count Out) Turnbuckles Once you know how to use the turnbuckle jump effectively, they are one of the best moves in the game. To jump off the ropes, hit jump, then in the air, hit attack. Hitting attack while on the turnbuckle will result in some kind of taunt, which gets the crowd fired up. As far as I know, Stinger has the best moves off the turnbuckle. Turnbuckle moves take a lot of damage, sometimes as much or more than the super slams Give up Holds and Special Pins Every character has either a special pin, give up hold, or both. Give up holds tend to be better, because they take less time for you to finish you opponent off. Thus, making it harder for your opponents partner (in Team Battle) to knock you off before you can get the three count.
