WWF WrestleMania 2000: SUMMIT - Virtual Pro Wrestling Gamma

This is a hack of WWF Wrestlemania 2000 that brings characters from Virtual Pro Wrestling 2 and WCW/nWo Revenge into the roster, replacing 18 characters in the existing roster, most of which were either very low on the card or, generally speaking, weren't actually wrestlers. There is a story to this hack, in spite of the original game not exactly having one. More information on this can be found in the README file.

Feature list:
- 18 new characters
- Combo system reinstated
- Shootfighting system reinstated
- Super specials reinstated
- Move changes, including bringing back the corner Razor's Edge from - WCW/nWo Revenge
- New menu backgrounds
- New story for Road to WrestleMania mode
- New edit mode costume items
- Changed themes for some of the new wrestlers

The new characters and the stables they are now a part of:
- Kevin Nash (WCW)
- Scott Hall (WCW)
- Scott Steiner (WCW)
- Bret Hart (WCW)
- AKI Man (WCW)
- Manami Toyota (WCW)
- Mitsuharu Misawa (AJPW)
- Akira Taue (AJPW)
- Stan Hansen (AJPW)
- Hiroshi Hase (AJPW)
- Jun Akiyama (AJPW)
- Satoru Sayama (UFO)
- Bas Rutten (UFO)
- Naoya Ogawa (UFO)
- Don Frye (UFO)
- Atsushi Onita (FMW) → Unlockable
- Masato Tanaka (FMW) → Unlockable
- H (FMW) → Unlockable

There are some bugs that have been found that you may want to know about:
- The hybrid style, not being complete in WWF Wrestlemania 2000, will sometimes result in one of the players going into a "hip swivel taunt"
- Shawn Michaels, as a product of making too many grand changes to story mode, has been softlocked. Using the "Unlock All" code will rectify this.
- The shootfighting style, also not being complete in the original game, does not have a complete set of animations
- The "tie up knee strike" in Bas Rutten's moveset will sometimes result in both players floating out of the ring area

This hack would not be possible without freem, who provided the foundation via documentation, as well as the means to modify the AKI games: VPW Studio. It would also not be possible without Melonbread, who served as a research partner and helped iron out some of the movesets. A further thanks to RetroRandyPrice for some guidance on creating custom music, as well as SK Stylez for general advice when RagDas needed it.
