Def Jam: Vendetta/Choose your hip hop wrestler

Your four unique stars is going to battle their way through the story. Though only one of them anyway. You're hip hop wrestler has a starting stats that needs building up.


 * Power: How strong is your attacks?
 * Speed: How fast can you move?
 * Grapple: How effective is your grappling power?
 * Defense: How good is your ability to dodge attacks?
 * Stamina: How long can you last in this game?
 * Charisma: How good is your momentum?

Here's a quick runthrough for your starting characters. The max for each stats is thirty.

Briggs

 * Power: 10
 * Speed: 12
 * Grapple: 16
 * Defense: 13
 * Stamina: 10
 * Chasima: 12

For any beginner, this is your first choice. If you're used to N64 wrestling games, he has it all. His strength is his grapple but is weak with power and stamina. You should build up its weaknesses first before you slowly build up your fighter.

Proof

 * Power: 7
 * Speed: 22
 * Grapple: 9
 * Defense: 3
 * Stamina: 7
 * Charisma: 22

The second choice (if you're interested in unlocking all characters) can be tough at first. His strength is speed and charisma but the rest is terribly weak. Like Briggs, concentrate on the weakness to bring it up to speed and charisma.

Spider

 * Power: 13
 * Speed: 4
 * Grapple: 13
 * Defense: 8
 * Stamina: 13
 * Charisma: 6

The third choice is pretty much the same as the first. His strength is power, grapple and stamina but the rest is as bad as the second choice. Like the first two choice, build up on its flaws in line with its strength.

Tank

 * Power: 24
 * Speed: 0
 * Grapple: 15
 * Defense: 4
 * Stamina: 21
 * Charisma: 3

The last choice could be the best choice of all. His strength is power, grapple and stamina but more than Spider while the rest can be underwhelming, especially with speed. As always, use the cash through the story mode to make him more than a powerhouse.
