Mastering Finishers in WWE 2K25
Executing regular Finishers and Super Finishers is key to clinching victory in WWE 2K25. While conventional Finishers can finish off an opponent, Super Finishers are even more powerful but come with specific requirements. You can initiate either type of Finisher at any point in the match to maximize damage against your adversary.
Typically, a regular Finisher suffices to conclude your bout, but some wrestlers refuse to give in easily. In those cases, unleash a Super Finisher to either pin or submit your opponent for the win. It’s important to note that not every wrestler possesses the capability to execute a Super Finisher, so understanding how to perform these moves is essential.
Performing a Finisher and Super Finisher
To execute a regular Finisher in WWE 2K25, you must fill the Momentum Meter designated for Finishers. For a Super Finisher, however, you need to fill all three Finisher slots, meaning your Momentum Meter must be completely charged. Additionally, certain conditions must be met for a Super Finisher. For example, you’ll need to have your opponent either flatten on the mat or standing before you can pull it off. When everything is in place, you’ll see the “Super Finisher” label flash near your character, indicating that you can execute the move.
It’s worth mentioning that while a regular Finisher may suffice for most situations, certain opponents—like Roman Reigns or The Undertaker—are notoriously tough and may require a Super Finisher to secure a win.
To execute a Finisher or a Super Finisher, the button combination remains the same. On PlayStation controllers, use R2 + X, while Xbox players will press RT + A. Once the Finisher is executed, you can try to pin your opponent to win.
Tips and Strategies for Success
As a strategic approach, consider using a regular Finisher first to gauge your opponent’s resilience before ramping up your Momentum Meter for a decisive finish. This can be particularly effective against stronger characters. While executing Super Finishers may be straightforward, gaining the necessary Momentum against tougher opponents can prove challenging. Additionally, only a select few Superstars can perform these Super Finishers, although this roster may change with downloadable content in the future.
Who Can Perform Super Finishers?
To unleash a Super Finisher, you need to choose a specific WWE superstar from the game’s roster and meet their unique conditions. For example, with Randy Orton, your opponent must be seated on the top rope facing the ring to perform the "Avalanche RKO." Similarly, R-Truth’s 450 Splash requires his target to be flat on the mat while he’s on the top rope.
Below is a detailed list of some WWE superstars who can perform Super Finishers along with their respective requirements:
| WWE Superstar | Super Finisher Name | Condition Required |
|---|---|---|
| AJ Styles | Spiral Tap | Opponent must be grounded, AJ on the top rope. |
| Batista | Avalanche Powerbomb 2 | Opponent seated on the top rope facing the ring. |
| Becky Lynch | Avalanche Manhandle Slam | Opponent seated on the top rope facing the ring. |
| Roman Reigns | Superman Punch and Spear Combo | Charge toward opponent in the corner. |
| R-Truth | 450 Splash | Opponent grounded, R-Truth must be on the top rope. |
| Triple H | Avalanche Pedigree 1 | Opponent seated on the top rope facing the ring. |
| Jade Cargill | Avalanche Jaded | Opponent seated on the top rope facing the ring. |
Mastering these techniques and understanding each superstar’s conditions will elevate your gameplay and enhance your experience in WWE 2K25!
