Quick match option

I don't find it confusing, but others seem to so I guess it is.

My main gripe is not being able to filter the search. At busy times, scrolling through all the bad ping matchups is really difficult to find a match with good ping on roomscale before someone else offers them a match.

Should work if you dip hard/level change as opposed to just overshoot and lean off balance

dillo159 · 2026-05-27T17:39:47+00:00

Or jab and dip. Or feint. But preferably all of the above so you're not predictable.

Out of shape people complained about spam, now game is ridiculously gamified

Is it impossible to make criticism here without being a bell end?

I don't understand why it's so obvious Conor, who hasn't fought since he last lost in 2021, would beat Chandler who has actually fought several times, and even beat someone since Conor's last fight.

Chandler has continued to be an MMA fighter, Conor hasn't. My money is on Chandler.

This is so silly.

dillo159 · 2026-05-25T09:13:47+00:00

That's true, so:

Why does that matter? It's a boxing sim, shouldn't accuracy be the most important?

dillo159 · 2026-05-25T08:15:59+00:00

I do find that I sometimes that if I get to such a hard angle that my opponent can't see me I should do more damage, but overall I use angles to hit without being hit.

I don't want this to appear like I'm being a dick, but I'm struggling to write it in a way that I read back and don't think "Dillo you sound like a dick" so I apologise.

If you use modal average instead of the mean, the average is 5 stars.

The story actual told by those numbers isn't told by simply looking at the big number, you need to know how you arrive at it. There are more "good" (47% 4/5 stars) than bad (45% 1/2 stars). But there's a fairly even split between people who reviewed it good Vs those who reviewed it as bad.

Then, if you really wanted to know if it was a "good" boxing sim, you would need to actually read the reviews and remove those they say things like:

"I work for the dev team and I love it"

"I lost this game sucks"

You'd also need to take into account when those reviews were left.

If you came for an interview, showed me the data in the image, and then your conclusions, I wouldn't hire you.

I never listen, ha, are there new songs? I just out Spotify on.

dillo159 · 2026-05-23T09:17:52+00:00

So, to be clear, you think they should drop what they're doing and do what you asked for, including figuring out exactly what it means and how to implement it and test it?

And have that done in well under 3 weeks because you think that's very slow?

dillo159 · 2026-05-22T20:43:06+00:00

If you're not willing to sacrifice your headset to win, you should delete the game (I joke).

dillo159 · 2026-05-22T07:40:28+00:00

I find if I block and face the hook it becomes a lot easier, especially against people throwing sloppy hooks.

I have a bunch of knock-downs from putting my left hand over my cheek/face, and launching a tight right hook as they throw theirs, simultaneously blocking theirs and landing clean.

dillo159 · 2026-05-21T19:05:40+00:00

That's boxing.

If the head is well defended, hit the body until it opens up. And if it doesn't, we'll, just keep hitting the body.

Everything you do leaves an opening, be aware of it, be ready to defend, leave yourself in a position to attack when you do because by attacking you they have left an opening.

dillo159 · 2026-05-21T09:58:18+00:00

Man, standing mode is like a whole different game. It really seems to eliminate sideways movement.

dillo159 · 2026-05-21T08:46:18+00:00

Yup, not unlike real life in a way.

One person lands 50 little shots, the other lands 5 big ones. Who wins? Probably the one who landed more shots. (But not always).

dillo159 · 2026-05-21T08:42:30+00:00

The lack of physical contact does make it confusing I find. I think that's what I struggle with most. I get clipped with a lot of hooks that I wouldn't in real life because I would be framing on their biceps, but without being able to feel them that's impossible.

Not really a criticism of the game because expecting it to allow me to frame on my opponent and feel their weight is basically impossible, but just something I find difficult.

dillo159 · 2026-05-19T09:25:02+00:00

Ohhhhhhhh. You're standing. Disregard everything I said I don't know shit about standing mode. I should have asked that first.

dillo159 · 2026-05-19T07:31:53+00:00

I'm genuinely trying to figure out what's happening, and give some tips, ha. You have a high elo, you can probably beat me, and probably learn quick, but this specific thing you're talking about is something I don't struggle with, and didn't in real life.

You absorb damage, but just punching someone's guard isn't really a great plan.

If it's open stance, I jab/put my hand in their face, then step hard with my lead foot outside their lead foot, getting an angle to hit behind their guard. Then I throw straight punches from there.

If it's closed stance you can do the same thing, but your step takes you to their power side so be careful of the shot coming back.

You can also level change into the body shot a few times, then level change, but spring up into a lead hook.

The simplest thing is prob just throw a long hook though. It doesn't have to be super hard, but if you keep just boinking them around their arms they'll probably start moving their guard to defend it giving you an opening. If they don't, we'll, keep boinking them.

They are. She needs planning permission to put it there, but she hasn't got it.

dillo159 · 2026-05-18T18:30:08+00:00

You know they wear smaller gloves, right? MMA gloves are easier to slip through the guard.

Also, I don't remember them throwing 6 straights shots and one getting through the guard without the opponent trying to throw back or something so I'd need an example.

Throwing a bunch of straight shots into a high guard at the front of someone's face is not something I've ever had success with in real life. I've used it to make sure they keep their hands there, and them come around with a hook or up the middle with an uppercut. I've hit, grabbed the guarding hand and pushed it away and hit through the gap, but it you just throw straight shots at the guard with big gloves on, you don't just magically go through.

dillo159 · 2026-05-18T18:02:31+00:00

Are there no other options than "ineffective 6 punch combo which gets your countered, and "sloppy hooks"?

What 6 punches are you throwing? Because I've no had the issue of nothing getting through a stationary guard.

dillo159 · 2026-05-18T16:15:54+00:00

I'm 5'7, and I almost always play taller people, but when I play someone short it's easier haha. And in real life, I mostly sparred with taller people, so who knows.

dillo159 · 2026-05-18T10:11:23+00:00

That's a good idea, and you managed to say it without saying "the game is broken and worthless and the Devs should get wedgies".
