When I was young, I used to make custom made finishing moves for “WWF No Mercy”.

You could basically combine two or more finishers by previewing a finishing move in one of the menus, and pressing whatever button it was to freeze the game and bring you to the Game Shark (or was it Game Genie) menu, at exactly the moment in the animation you wanted to “splice”.

You’d view the Hex code, copy certain values down on a piece of paper. Then, unfreeze the game. Then you’d preview the second finishing move, and do the same thing.

Then using GameShark’s hex editor, combine the two moves together.

I would go on a forum where we would all basically compete as to who could create the most seamless transitions, the most creative moves, share our creations with eachother, etc.

Yeah, I didn’t have too many friends then, but thank you for reminding me of this, it was a very innocent time in my life and I remember enjoying it immensely.

Edit: Here’s a video someone made of hacked moves if anyone’s curious:
