I have mentioned this a few times in the past. It would be nice to have styles at some point.

I am thinking three basic styles

Stylist
Boxer
Aggressor

---------------------------
Stylist may hold both gloves low, the power hand near chest and the jab hand by or below waist.

Boxer is what we currently have and/or holds both gloves up fairly high in a blocking position.

The aggressor holds both gloves near chin or chest and has somewhat of a low/squating stance.
---------------------------

of course more than just visual stance differences, they need simple advantages and disadvantages

----------------------------
Quickness (foot, lean and hand)
Power (hand and clinch strength)
Toughness (body, head, stamina)

Stylist: Ability to move and defend with ease and throw seamless punches. Can run out of gas by throwing a lot of speedy punches and doesn't react well to punches. - Best way to fight "POT SHOT, make them miss"

Quickness 5
Power 2
Toughness 3

Boxer: Good all around in speed and power. Can take a decent punch and dish out a decent punch. However does not have any major specialties so opponents will always know what to expect. Best way to fight - "BOX/JAB, mix it up"

Quickness 3
Power 3
Toughness 3

Aggressor: Has a great punch, can take a great punch and doesn't have to fight a perfect fight to win. Limited by slow hand and defense speed and can sometimes get too confident in toughness. Best way to fight "PUNCH, intimidate with pressure"

Quickness 2
Power 5
Toughness 4
---------------------------------------

That can obviously be tweaked with some sort of clearer points system. This is just an example.

It doesn't even have to include various stances. It could just be the same stances as we have now and fighters/players will have to figure out what their opponent's "style" is based on their experience in the ring.

Just something to think about.

I was pretty disappointed when I came on though. All anyone in this game does anymore is keep a distance and jab. The aggressor in the fight is ALWAYS the loser if the fighter who is jabbing is worth a damn. This game has become a boring jab match and someone who I just fought had found a way to lean down (#2) throughout the match as my glove appeared to hit him without damage continuously. I can say that my glove hit my opponents body SEVERAL times with power punches and the game fails to register any of these. You have to be at an exact distance for any of them to land and this fighter had that down to an art.

I don't think I'm going to login anymore until 3D comes out. 2D has become a boring jab fest for pussies trying to make their records better. No one comes to brawl anymore. There was one guy who actually wanted to make the fight fun and that was "Fatny." Even though I lost I had fun, and that's the reason why I play games, to have fun.

When I was at my peak there were many more players who tried to actually have a fight - rather than jab the entire fight or try to find faults in the game to use to their advantage.

Just my 2 cents.

In the near future say 3D OB, will there be a option where a champ if he owns more then one title can put all of his titles on the line if the challenger is rated top 20 in all of the organizations?


Although I do see a problem with riduclous amounts of defenses... But maybe do it for tournament purpose.
