If you don't know what technique to use against different fighters, check below for a quick rundown:įighting a taller opponent with longer reach: If your foe is taller than you, there's often only one thing to do: close the gap. If a gap opens up, powerful punches may just clinch a knockout victory.Īny brute can get in the ring and land a few punches, but strategy is needed if you're going to beat anyone worth their salt. Aim for the areas he's not blocking, as damage is more likely to happen when he's seeing stars. Disregard your stamina for a few seconds and throw down quickly. During these moments he's simply trying to survive, so pile on the pressure massively. When he's shaky and his stamina/health gauges turn red, he won't be throwing any big punches back. If you stun a fighter, it's the perfect time to strike. It's a dodgy game, but when under pressure, anything is needed in order to stay awake. Clinching regularly can kill your opponent's momentum if they've constantly got the upper hand, but miss time a hug, and an open shot will land. If you remain in the fight, you have a chance of clawing something back. When it comes down to it, you can't win fights having been knocked out. There's nothing worse than being stuck in a corner, so utilise the push in last ditched efforts, and circle away from danger so you don't get caught again. If you're under pressure and your block isn't working, get away from your opponent. It may sound obvious, but surviving difficult situations will separate the good fighters from the great. Similarly, if you know someone has a poor chin or gut, the route of attack couldn't be made easier. This should dictate what type of game plan you enter the ring with, and what dangers to look out for. If you know he has a mean right hook before the fight, extra measures can be taken to combat it. In Legacy mode this is most helpful, as you can analyse where the opposite fighter's strengths and weaknesses lie. Doing your homework pays off big time throughout Champion, especially when you have access to your opponent's stats before a fight.
