Tips for being a counter kickboxer?

How does low confidence affect countering?

 

I would imagine—which means this is my educated guess—that low confidence means a fighter cannot afford to take hits or his overall abilities suffer (within MMA Tycoon).

 

We know moral has an effect on the in-game fight engine and a fighter with low confidence looses moral quicker than one with high confidence. So a low confidence fighter set to countering is going to suffer a loss in ability early in fights by simply being hit. This means there is more chance of him missing the counter when the opportunity arises and this will further effect his skill level.

 

This has a snowball effect where the more the fighter gets hit or he misses, the more his moral drops and the more likely he is to miss.

 

Against an accurate fighter, there is a good chance the fighters moral has been dropped to a very low score which has a hugely negative effect for the rest of the fight. .

Every time I get a fighter that is set to be really aggressive, I can't get off any shots. Does it just come down to speed? I don't have it set to 100 percent counter either, so it's really confusing.

 

The answer to this question isn't really as simple as "X is the problem"

 

It could be your fighter. Low confidence or low intelligence can have a crippling effect on counter fighting.

 

It could also be a matchup problem. If the opposing fighter is that much quicker, better balanced and more agile than yours, then you are going to struggle in the standup game anyway. However a big disadvantage in any of these categories have effect countering badly.

 

It can also be a slider issue. A generally lesser fighter (in these terms, one who has not trained exclusively for a minimum of 2 in game years) is unlikely to land a lot of counter combos. These are particularly difficult moves to hit.
