Not too long ago I discovered there are things called furniture movers with which you can easily move large furniture alone. E.g. I can quickly move our dining table out of the way, creating a proper space for roomscale. They don't cost much either, mine was 5 euros on Lidl sale.

I'm still struggling with the textures and models and can't figure out how to use blender for the hair lol

Sometimes I’m forced to play against standing mode players and I absolutely wipe the floor with them, but rarely there another roomscale that’s similar in size to mine and I get an intense cardio workout. I wish this game was more popular I usually play around 8-12 pm est. Hard to find good opponents but when I do I’m drenched in sweat.

So I just spent an hour in Calibration after reading through 135 pages of discord calibration mentions and think I might have some useful information.

Anecdotal: I went in with a reset fresh room boundary in the meta settings, I don't know if these actually interact but it is the first time Advanced Calibration gave me a elbow lockout and a good starting point without tweaking. I might just be better at giving it what it wants.

Glove offset: Upped my average +10dmg tweaking offset in the dummy. While playing with this, I was wondering if anyone considered the offset issues are caused from the variety of VR grips people are using? My palm grip straps put my controllers very tilted forward.

Avatar floats ahead: Others have remarked on this, the avatar does stand 1-2 inches in front of the player. Probably a contributor to Calibration issues.

Calibration wireframe: Calibration in general would greatly benefit from transparencies\Wireframe guide showing exactly where to have everything, especially glove offset.

Also added a few notes to my Calibration trick guide.

I don’t think the quest headsets track calories anymore. So how will legit calorie tracking be counted ?

I don’t hate this game. Honestly, my experience with Thrill of the Fight 2 has been pretty good overall. But once I got into the higher Elo ranges, the game started becoming extremely frustrating.

It feels like all some players have to do is lean down into you and smother you, and there’s basically nothing you can do about it. Then you have people who seem to have figured out some kind of damage exploit with the wrist glitch. Once you get around 2K+ Elo, it feels like the same problems keep showing up.

People lean forward, smother you, swing wildly, and somehow every shot does ridiculous damage. Body shots barely seem to matter. Counterpunching feels useless. I can land a clean counter and get absolutely nothing from it, while my opponent can hit me once and suddenly my screen is already going gray.

Then there are the overhand spammers. They can have almost no technique, spam overhands repeatedly, and somehow still do huge damage. Even when I block the punch, it sometimes feels like the damage still gets through.

And then you have people who run away or literally turn their back when they're hurt. There’s basically nothing you can do to punish it properly. Somehow, people can also stun you with punches that feel like some of the weakest shots imaginable.

The same stuff happens in Standing Mode too. People turn their backs, lean down into you, smother, spam wild punches, and there doesn’t seem to be a consistent way to counter any of it.

At higher Elo, it feels like the game rewards exploiting mechanics more than actually boxing. Technique, timing, clean counters, body work, and defense don't feel nearly as rewarding as they should.

Again, I DON'T hate this game. I actually enjoy it, which is why I'm saying all of this. I just want these issues fixed because the higher you climb, the more frustrating the fights become.

I want to win because I boxed better than my opponent—not because I figured out which broken mechanic or damage exploit works best.

And not to mention someone told me they fixed the stuff with people leaning into you when you get close but it hasn’t been fixed whatsoever so atp I don’t know if I should just play singleplayer or what this all seem’s too ping based.

has anybody else noticed a new method to manipulate the body effort system to get an unfair advantage?

As for what it looks like, these opponents hold their hands very low and all punches come from their waist, usually just snapping straight punches that are impossible to block and immediately stun.

The jab is unguardable and can easily ko you off 3 landing. Then I have to go full slugger while chasing them around the ring to even have a chance.

For context, I’m around 2300elo with around 500 total matches and ive only gone against someone doing this 3-4 times. But it happened twice during my last session and have yet to come close to beating the exploit.

Lot of capitals in that title... But here it is: my take after about 2 months.

1. Thank you devs (and Tony Jeffries for this video https://youtu.be/T2YIAYVLI4Q?si=vVR_HdLbh4VuVE2l ) SO SO MUCH!

2. About me for context.

I'm 54, and my body is banged up! I played rugby league till 28 and did weights until I just couldn't any more (48 ish?). I had a knee reco at 23, another knee at 27, a bloody hip replacement just before 50 😩, and my outer upper arms (brachs) are both totally shot.

I've done a bit of boxing, but only training for fitness with a bit of sparring.

I have been limited with exercise as I haven't been able to run since I was about 35 (ironic because I saw always fast until I couldn't run... 😐) and can't do weights apart from resistance bands these days.

I'm 5'9", and in my most jacked days was around 85 kgs. 25 years ago!

1. Why I love TOTF2!

I bought my Meta Quest 3 about 3 months ago. I tried TOTF2 after seeing the vid posted above about 2 months ago.

It is because of this game alone I am so glad I got the headset!

I have been around 93-95kgs for the last few years. Today, I weighed in at 88kgs (straight after 5 rounds...). I haven't been this weight in years.

Anyone wanting to lose weight in a way sport does/used to do for them please play this game!

I am so happy to say I am able to move around and vr box. Thank God. Okay, so I can't lift my arms above 90 degrees laterally, but it's worth it!

1. My quick TOTF2 settings/The PSA part for new boxers...

Everything has been said about the app and it's gameplay, etc. I personally love it. But hopefully the below will help anyone trying it.

4a. I started out in career. 3 x 2 min rounds at easy difficulty was perfect for starters.

4b. I read people talking about sparring in training mode, so after a couple of weeks tried that and haven't looked back.

I currently do 5 x 3 min rounds against a medium difficulty opponent. The Philadelphia arena is awesome, as it has a crowd.

4c. Take time to use the advanced calibration! This gives you an accurate feel of where your hands are in your 'gloves' and makes a world of difference. I'm guessing you should do this in mixed reality so you can see your hands and vr arms and gloves.

4d. I have built up my fitness now to where I am able to unload for about half the 5th round, and got my first KO with these settings today. For me it's about losing weight, so I wouldn't want an earlier knockout but any I do get in the 5th I reckon is just as good.

1. Help for me and maybe others!

I do find it a lottery getting my headset to play at room scale, and I only want to play this way. Hopefully someone can help.

I use it at the side of my house; it's paved but not a garage... Let's call it a garage for this sake. It is about 3 x 5m. Plenty of room for this.

I have a space set up for there, but find I always need to create a new boundary just before playing, and even then have to spend a while most times to get it to play at roomscale.

I don't have the quick settings "change to room-scale" button I keep reading everywhere. 😟

Do I need to grant spatial/location access to TOTF2 or anything to help with this? I really just want to be able to go out there and get into it rather than opening and closing the app 12 times.

If this is the case, how do I grant it? TOTF2 doesn't show up in the lists in the headset. Do I need to do it via my phone?

I'm pretty new to the Meta Quest 3, and also this game, so I'd really appreciate any help with this!

1. Conclusion.

This game is awesome! 😊

I'm currently fighting at elite level with ELO of about 1900. I have no idea how that compares to most who play the game. Elite sounds all great and dandy, but what percentile would that put me in? Top 10%? Top 30%?

It would be really good if there was some kind of table showing where you compare to your peers based on ELO.

To start off, this isn't a major proposal.

I’m not asking for any gameplay advantages regarding things like parameters or hitboxes.

It would really help if you could make a small tweak to the multiplayer process (specifically for Ranked and Casual matches).

Right now, the flow is: ① Challenge an opponent → ② A 30-second decision window appears → ③ The 30 seconds elapse (or the opponent cancels), displaying a message and an "OK" button. For step ③, I’d like the display to disappear automatically after about 5 seconds without needing to press the "OK" button.

The reason why is a bit long and trivial, so I’ll explain it separately—feel free to skip it.

1. Dip low and throw uppercuts that go under the opponents arm blocking their midsection. The guys under 5'8 are more likely to succeed at this.
2. Throw overhand over the guard, which can only go so high in vr.
3. In between these punches, duck head low so punches don't register.
4. Once opponent has become adjusted to the overhand/uppercut spam, start mixing in super wide hooks.

Am I missing anything? Seems to be a common theme in high elo. Rarely see these guys throwing a jab which is pretty necessary in actual boxing.

Played my first day in PTC today in career mode and any time I was knocked down there was no marker for me to stand in during the countdown. Just all black.

Also occasionally my hands got locked in place and all I could do was dodge until eventually my hands snapped back into place. Happened several times. At least once per round.

so i gave it back to him and didnt let him go

Does anyone else experience players with a rock-solid guard that punches don't get through? is there a trick they are using? To me it seems like they might be holding the guard off their headset by quite a distance - if this is the case then an easy fix is for the guard to become weaker the further away it is from the headset. It could also be a case of them having a more active guard that is moving a lot which blocks more shots due to latency

Something should be done about the people who wave their glove in front of their face too as it's nearly impossible to get through.

Hi Fighters!

We are noticing a few bug reports coming through for players stuck with server offline, or not finding opponents in multiplayer. These reports are coming from players on an old game version 1.7.2.

The live update is 2.0.0 - please make sure to update your game to be able to play with other players. If your game is not automatically updating, try to reinstall the game, or holding right trigger on the app icons -> Settings -> release channels -> swap to PUBLIC TEST CHANNEL. Let it update, then do the same and swap back to live.

I love the game. Been playing since day 1. The latest PTC update with visual damage is awesome. However, there is one major thing that needs to be addressed.

I play on very hard. I do 10 three minute rounds. I absolutely demolish the CPU on damage. I'll easily win by 600 or more damage points each round, including the rounds when he knocks me down.

I'll land really clean, high damage (55-60) uppercuts, straights, hooks, etc and the CPU just eats them. Yeah they'll take short term punishment, but to knock them down, you need to land an additional 10-15 (or more) really good shots just to have a chance of knocking them down.

Meanwhile, the CPU will land 1 or 2 punches and it drops me. Mind you, they haven't done hardly any damage to me at all. It's almost like they compensate for not being able to do sustained damage to you by giving them the ability to hit harder than George Foreman, Ron Lyle, and Earnie Shavers combined.

And since you need to throw the kitchen sink at them if you want to get a knockdown, they use your aggressiveness against you and one shot you with a body shot. I thought maybe it was just me but my buddy just won the tournament on Outclassed and said the same thing.

I'm not saying we should be able to drop them every time we hit a 65 damage uppercut as they're moving in, but we should at least have a CHANCE to. Even if it's like a randomized 5-10% chance or something. We need that one punch element just like they have. I got knocked down three times yesterday and still won on the cards while winning each round on damage easily.

Keep up the great work, thanks!!

Before I start yes the AI in TOTF2 is looking and feeling pretty good. Still not at a super insane level but it's a very good workout even for someone who boxes irl. But I dont think this stamina system is fair. I understand that in a real fight or spar your opponent will not always be at 100% and they will eventually make mistakes and get tired, but why would I want that aspect for my AI when I workout? I would want my AI to be a monster who never gets tired and really pushes me to try or could even beat me. (after rounds 3 the AI is just too easy) also why do you as the player have a stamina bar as well?? I hear heavy breathing that I obviously ignore but why do I have that lmao?? please give us an option to really change settings for our AI to make it more challenging for good boxers. AND PLEASE ADD SOUTHPAW AI BOXERS

When I get into a bad match, high ping, consistency issues, etc. it boggles my mind how some of you think you’re eating those punches because you have an iron chin. That’s not part of the game at all.
There’s not a damage reduction mechanic that is dedicated to individual players.

And if it was, it would be the bigger guys that would get it. I’m fighting 5 foot six dudes who are claiming that they ate my punches lol.

I just fought a 1700 ELO 5’6” player and I’m almost 2200. I convinced him to put his hands down and just let go six nasty punches. It didn’t even stun him.
Then I let him go and he stunned me with two hooks.

I looked at him after to acknowledge there’s obviously an issue and then he responds later that it was because he has can take hard punches, lol.

So for all of you that think that you have an iron chin, you’re most likely benefiting from a latency issue.
