--- Great American Bash FAQ:
Johnny
-A maneuver affected by Johnny's Ability remains a High Risk until
the card resolves. EXAMPLE: Johnny uses his ability to make Back
Fist a High Risk, it does not count as a Strike maneuver in the Ring
area.
Find Out How to Fight from Fit Finlay
-Johnny can use Find Out How to Fight from Fit Finlay to change a
Dynamic maneuver into a Strike, then use his Ability to change the
Strike into a High Risk.
-Junkyard Dog can reduce a Grapple Dynamic maneuver by -7F, and then change it to another maneuver type with Fit Finlay; however, the Fortitude check is done before Finlay takes effect, so a
Strike/Submission will not receive the -7F for being named Grapple.
EXAMPLE: If JYD has no Fortitude, he could not play Dynamic Forearm (F: 6 Strike) even with Finlay, as the card must first be legal to play before it could be changed to a Grapple.
(same with Gail and Molly... wooottt!!!)
Giant Head Butt
-If there is no card in hand to be discarded, there is no search
effect.
Not On My Broadcast (Throwback)
-If either an Action or a Superstar-specific card is played (whether
successful or not), and then another card that is one of those two
types is successfully played, a card can be removed by the opponent note that the card to be removed cannot be the one that triggered the effect of Broadcast.
EXAMPLE: For the Love of The Game is successfully played, followed by a Superstar-specific maneuver; the opponent could remove For the Love but not the maneuver.
-If this effect is triggered, the opponent "may" remove a card and
makes a choice to do so, thus allowing Judo Takedown to be put into the Ring area in response.
-The second paragraph only affects Actions that are not Superstar-
specific and are not Set-ups Actions; it has no effect on hybrid
Action cards that are not played as Actions.
The Matt Hardy Movement
-The opponent will discard a card (if possible) when this card is
played, as it in the Ring area when the effect is triggered.
--- OmniFAQ:
ALL SUPERSTARS
-All Superstars are considered to be a 'male superstar' unless the
superstar is female, or is comprised solely of two females. No
superstar is considered to be both male and female.
-Superstars with an ability that says 'You may' use a cost 'and then'
have an effect require you to use that effect, such as Home Team and Ric Flair, who cannot use their abilities unless there is an
applicable card for their effect.
Chris Masters
-Chris Masters is a legal Raw Deal card.
-If Masters plays a Panic maneuver, he will not get to remove cards
from his opponent's hand unless both cards are not successfully
played, and only after both are reversed; then he will remove cards
for each maneuver reversed from hand.
-If Maintain Hold is played on a maneuver, and the opponent reverses from hand on a later turn, Masters will not get to remove a card for his ability.
Eric Bischoff
-If the starting Enforcer chosen is Stephanie, once the Enforcer is
chosen, the Bischoff Superstar Ability is immediately replaced with
the opponent's Ability; Eric would not search for a Raw card.
Hollywood Hulk Hogan
-All cards referencing "Hulk Hogan" are considered to reference
Hollywood Hulk Hogan.
Leader of the Peepulation
-Due to the wording of his ability, Leader may use his ability to
remove an opponent's card, and then will remove 1 non-unique card if he is able to. He is not required to remove a card from his own Ring to remove an opponent's card if he has no non-unique cards.(that's kinda SICK)
Paul Heyman
-If the starting Enforcer chosen is Stephanie, once the Enforcer is
chosen, the Heyman Superstar Ability is immediately replaced with the opponent's Ability; Heyman will not reveal any Stipulations.
Right To Censor
-They are considered to be a 'male superstar' only.
Stephanie McMahon
-If the starting Enforcer chosen is Stephanie, once the Enforcer is
chosen, the Stephanie Superstar Ability is immediately replaced with
the opponent's Ability; Stephanie would not search for a Smackdown card.
The Dangerous Alliance
-The Dangerous Alliance will draw cards if their opponent draw cards (3 or less) during the Pre-match phase, no matter which player's card it is.
EXAMPLE: Dangerous Alliance plays Trash Talkin' Interview
Throwback, and when the opponent's card is shuffled back, the
opponent draws 1 card - so Dangerous Aliance draws 1 card.
-As it is neither the 'Draw Segment' or 'Superstar Ability', if
their opponent draws a Starting Handsize of 3 or less, Dangerous Alliance will draw that many cards as well.
The Home Team
-They cannot place a card at the bottom of their Arsenal unless they
can pick up a Fan Favorite or Face card.
The Hurri-friends
-They are considered to be a 'male superstar' only.
Get the "F" Out!
-This card will completely reverse a Multi Trademark Finisher.
My Obscenely Expensive Jeri-tron 5000
-The Jeri-tron player will draw a card when this card is played, as
it in the Ring area when the effect is triggered.
Old School Psychology
-The discard effect of Psychology takes place after the
opponent's 'when played' effects, so it will not cause discarding
until after a maneuver has been played with a Panic maneuver.
Panic Assault, Panic Grab, Panic Throw (rulings for all three)
-An opponent's Old School Psychology will not cause a discard until
after the accompanying maneuver has been played with the Panic
maneuver.
EXAMPLE: Panic Grab is played and the only card in hand is a Ankle Lock, but text of Panic Grab will force the Ankle Lock to be played with the Panic Grab before the effects of any copies of Old School Psychology.(that's huge!)
Premiere Smackdown Superstar
-This card will trigger itself and its player will draw a card when
it is played, as it is `in the Ring area' before the text resolves.
(that's been re-reversed again
)
Shoot Action
-This card cannot be reversed by Lift a Boot Throwback if that player
has a higher Fortitude Rating.
-If this card is reversed by Lift a Boot Throwback, 3 cards are still
discarded.
Shoot Counter
-Shoot Counter will only reverse cards based on what they have the
potential to do when played or successfully played.
EXAMPLE: Shoot Counter will not reverse Cold-cocked, because cards are only moved when Cold-cocked is unsuccessful.
Snap DDT
-If played by E&C, they may reveal 2 cards and draw 2 cards instead of discarding. However, since no cards are placed at the bottom of the Arsenal, they will not draw additional cards from the text of Snap DDT regardless of the cards revealed. (They may, of course, discard cards with "DDT" in the title and use the card normally.)
Super Masks and Super Capes
-As Enforcer cards are an extension of Superstar Abilities, these
cannot be blanked by this card.
The Coach Says, "Today's the Day!"
-The 'remove from game' effect does not require the player to have
any Fortitude to return a Mid-match card to the Backlash deck.
The Great American Bash
-This card is not considered to have `BASH' in the title; the
restriction for cards with `BASH' in the title does not apply to this
card.
-Any Heat cards are removed from the game before the ACE can remove cards, and those Heat cards do not count toward the number of cards Great American Bash is removing from the game.
The Peep's Champ
-There are two separate comparisons for the effect of this card, no
addition of the numbers is required. EXAMPLE: If The Rock plays
Peep's Champ, he will have to have both a higher Fortitude Rating, as well as a higher Superstar Value, to prevent his opponent from
playing Superstar-specific cards.
Tormented Tomfoolery
-The card remains as only the chosen maneuver type until the card is resolved. EXAMPLE: The player chooses Grapple for Tomfoolery, it does not count as a Submission maneuver when played, but reverts to both types in the Ring area.
NOTE: This is a reversal of a previous ruling
Unbreakable Chain
-If this card is used to continue the turn after the opponent
reversed from Arsenal, the maneuver played is considered to be the
damage amount calculated after damage reduction through Sustained Damage or other means. EXAMPLE: Apply Legal Leverage (
) is reduced to 4D by the opponent's Sustained Damage, but the first card overturned reverses Legal; if Unbreakable is used to continue the turn, the last maneuver is still considered to be 4D, and a maneuver like Knee Smash could be played.
Volley This!
-If the removal of Heat cards will not leave enough cards to remove
for Volley This to reverse an Action, it cannot be played. EXAMPLE:
There are 10 cards in the Ringside pile, but 9 are Heat cards, and
the opponent plays Roll Out of the Ring (F: 2); removing the Heat
cards first (which do not count for Volley This) would leave only 1
card, the conditions of the reversal cannot be met, and Volley This!
cannot be played.
Activated Card Effect
-The 'ACE' logo is for clarification only; if a card is blanked, it
no longer contains an Activated Card Effect. EXAMPLE: Managed by
Dawn Marie could not remove a blanked copy of Unbreakable Chain!
Backstage Area
-Unless otherwise stated, Backstage Area cards are revealed when
revealing the Superstar card. This is done simultaneously, including
choosing any Enforcers from revealed Enforcer cards. There is no
option to wait until an opponent has revealed his Backstage Area
cards or chosen an Enforcer to make these choices.
Card Effect
-All card effects, unless otherwise specified, take place when the
card is successful. EXAMPLE: Ap Chaki Kick and Technical maneuvers will only trigger their effects if the card is not reversed (other than from Arsenal).
Enforcers
-These cards are an extension of Superstar Abilities, and their cards
will not be blanked except by effect that blank Superstar Abilities
(which will also blank Enforcer Abilities added to the Superstar
Ability).
Heat
-The Heat trait only works on a player's turn, and cannot be used
during the Pre-match to play Heat Pre-match cards in the Ringside
pile.
Multi
-A reversal card or reversal effect that "completely reverses" a
Mutli card will not require any further reversals to stop the Multi
card; in effect, it reverses it as though the card was not a Multi.
This is regardless of how many reversals are needed for cards like
Giant Heat Butt and The Three Amigos.
Potentiality Rule
-The card is only viable to reversing based on what the card itself
will do, outside conditions do not apply. EXAMPLE: Iron Will is
attempted despite Hell in a Cell Match preventing cards from being
moved from the Ringside pile, Shoot Counter can still be used to
reverse Iron Will, because that card has the potential to move cards
from a Ringside pile.
-A card with a 'when played' effect can be reversed even if that
effect was not used, as long as it has the potential for that effect.
Volley
-
The second reversal to a Multi Volley determines how it was reversed for the Volley trait. EXAMPLE: Flurry of Strikes is reversed with Step Aside, then removing 5 cards for the Volley trait; the second 'reversal' is the one counted, so the opponent will not be limited on what he can play next turn due to the Volley trait.
