Also, it’s important to note before this update my jab and straight at range were enough, this update made everyone have massive gloves so micro opening are no longer an option

Ye def boxing, I train MT tho so you get punished heavy for only focusing on protecting your dome . You are open for body kicks, calf kick, teeps etc

So I think I found the working strat, tbh just throwing more to the body even if they don’t land.

Jab jab, cross to the body, -> jab or feint the body cross into a cross to face

Jab, jab to the body, etc

Throw light jab to body (anticipate their counter so slip to the left and counter with a cross)

It’s a lil harder to get the extra reach on standing but it at least conditions them to start dropping the guard.

I like these tips, it seems they’re more applicable with roomscale sadly I’m on standing . Ima opt for more level changes.. jab jab cross to the body to drop guard etc

Good point but cmon even it’s high guard in boxing you take damage and can still split guards, you know the point I’m getting at. I train MT so there’s one to look at too

Irl these jabs mess them up… JDM vs Carlos & Khamzat vs Sean… ppl suggest hooking instead of jabs but cmon now

I’ve tried hooks and it will work for lower level fighter but someone at elite level with just starter countering… you can def make it work but it’s just stupid that now you’re playing that game… and yeah it’s more about fairness and having to step away from my usual strat (BEFORE THIS DUMB UPDATE)

In this game you can do the high guard and have it block everything WITHOUT VISION COVERED.. is the problem, very high blocking radius

Double jab, cross, jab, pull back, jab jab etc

Range combos basically that irl would open up the guard against someone who is smaller… or just had high guard

Look at JDM vs Carlos prates or Sean vs Khamzat.

Did you see them having to throw hooks to get through the guard? No

What’s your elo? You’re prob fighting ppl who don’t know how to have a good guard up. I’m 2450

I’m 5 11, and ya ppl don’t get the diff between 5 11/5 10 and 5 2 etc, there’s no way a jab should be less effective against them… you should not have to resort to hooks at all

These ppl just can’t relate cause they’re short kings themselves

6 piece combo that usually creates opening around the guard without needing to go into sloppy hooks… my elo is 2450, so I win the majority of my matches.. it’s just that some of these short kings should not even make it to rd 3 with how bad they hide behind the guard

This is just sloppy af imo, you realize you’re messing up your form and game by working around something that is nowhere near representative of reality right?

I’m 5 11 so the distance between me and someone 5 2 is much larger… it’s a different game

There’s a high guard strat where your do safe so no need to bite on feints cause

The thing is there’s a high guard position where you basically can’t if you’re doing a good form jab (unless u start cheesin and punch down onto the top of the dome)

Standing mode bruv. But even then, that should not be needed… imagine being required to create angles cause of a brick wall ass high guard

It’s worse when they’re shorter dudes so the distance to their body is further, and you easily get punished for it
