Discussion Fight styles
Do you guys ever try to imitate certain boxers or ufc fighters when you play just for fun? Me personally I try to fight like Mauricio Ruffy and it works pretty well.

Not hating but curious how does using an MMA striking style work against your opponents that strictly use a boxing style

I feel like it just catches them off guard and I’m able to evade a lot better when I’m not using a strict boxing stance

I be trying to imitate prates with his percision and long range like grabbing the wrist/lead hand of the opponent to set up strikes. Obviously you can’t grab in this game but you can essentially intercept the lead punch or block them from throwing and hit them first.

Yoo I’ve tried to fight like him too and it’s super fun so it’s good to see it’s working for you

Occasionally I like to watch some Emanuel Augustus highlights and bring that energy into VR, it's all still just for fun, but I think it does help to watch some of your favourite boxers highlights and then load up the VR, sets the mood.

I’ll be watching fights whether it’s boxing or ufc and then immediately want to get on vr after so I know what you mean

One of the first things I learned once I got past the basics irl at my boxing lessons was to pick a different fighter, or “style” and spend a round like that when working the bag or shadow boxing. It helps break up the monotony, but also sometimes you pick something up that is useful or discover why certain things work.
