They painted themselves into a corner with stats by making Sara and Hallowicked -1 pw. That meant someone like Colt would naturally have to be either equal or a little stonger. If it were me I'd have said -1, but this is the ONE instance where you have to take Chikara as a seperate entity than Legends; the pw and ag ratings. In every other regard they are compatible, but I suppose one has got to take the pw and ag in context of the Chikara world. At any rate, I like the card all around and it provides a nice contrast to the "NWA champion edition" Colt Cabana in Legends 11 (my terminology, not an official designation on the card). Just by talking to some about the stats, just my opinion, it has to be stand alone and could, in no way, be compatible with Legends.

You have to take it within context of the Chikara-verse. I wanted the games to be compatible when it first came out and was bummed when it wasn't. But now that I've put some time in with Chikara, I'm glad they didn't make it compatible. Chikara is balanced against itself. People are weighted to what they would be in Chikara and I think the game works better that way.

Both Colt cards debuted for me this weekend.
LOW Colt debuted and defeated Lash LeRoux with the Colt .45 in a dark match for Starcade. LeRoux put a pretty big beating on Colt but Colt weathered the storm and got the come from behind win.
Chikara Colt debuted and defeated Icarus with the Colt .45 at the Santa Muscles show. This was a back and forth match that ultimately saw Colt the victor.
So solid debut in both feds. I don't know how well LOW Colt will fare in Legends. He has no strengths or weaknesses on his card. Very average. I could see him winning my Television Title at some point though. He has just enough juice to make some noise.

Chikara color stats are heavily influenced by the current GWF scene. Big emphasis on offense with weaker defenses. It is generally not consistent with LOW/LOTF stats. It is a very good stand alone set. It is compatible with LOW/LOTf with tweaking.

I only have the LOW Colt Cabana card and I'll be using him in my Territorial portion of my LOWverse and not part of my Main Wrestling Edge Australia roster. I use other wrestlers like Colt in my Territories to spice things up without killing my WEA roster and it also can lead to them joining my Main Roster down the road. I am though looking to see how he does in his first match against at this time an unknown opponent...

I'd have no problem if it was released thru the promoter. I watched a good match last night with Classic and The Throwbacks. Classic was billed as the inventor of pro wrestling from the smoke filled arenas of yesterday. He pulled off a good job of acting like a fish out of water and being confused by the modern Chikara rules and argued with the ref several times during the match.
