Guest Posted August 7, 2016 Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 It was probably brought up a few times but ,why dont we have stances?....i think thats a basic and big factor in a fight 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingEpicity Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 Probably because it would take a lot of time and energy for Mike to add stances. You could add them as flavor text but for real changes and differences in stance and/or styles it would require an overhaul on the game engine which Mike is just not going to do at this time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aylib Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 I think more important than stances, one of the most significant parts of arrested in fighting is distance control- whether trying to fight in the pocket (not clinch) or to keep distance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he is in a place to hire no matter how many people(morons) think trickle up economies work. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MMATycoon Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 Switch and southpaw stances are a significant statistical advantage over orthodox, so why would anyone choose anything other than them? Being southpaw is just a lucky natural advantage. So even if it wasn't an absolutely gigantic job for a tiny improvement in the game, I don't see how you'd make it work as a choice and it would have to be random. So if it's random you just end up getting people sacking all their orthodox fighters and it becomes a farce. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being a southpaw has its advantages and disadvantages depending on your size and fighting style, just like being an orthodox fighter in my opinion. There are plenty of boxers over the years who are left handed and fight orthodox or are right handed and fight southpaw, so on one hand it is a natural ability (decided but your handedness) but on the other hand it can also just be a choice for many reasons. As far as the game goes though i don't see the need for it myself, unless they were both equal in dominance or just flavor text. Because as Mike said if one was better then the other it would get picked 95% of the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a betting man, I'd be willing to bet he's not talking out of his ass when he talks about a significant advantage that southpaws have. I'm sure he's working with data, not what he thinks or his opinion. Just the numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking on betmma.tips it says that out of 1907 orthodox fighters 49% won and out of 572 southpaw fighters 56% won so while thats an advantage to southpaws i wouldn't say its a landslide. Plus you could have the same amount of fights again with the opposite result so it would be a hard stat to nail down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure he's working with data, not what he thinks or his opinion. Just the numbers. I agree with Cus on all counts. I am left handed but do not find it gives any "unfair" or outstanding advantage. Honestly many southpaws have fallen to the dragon slayers right hand... just like many orthodox fighters fall for the left straight or hook or what have you. It's all relative when we are talking about reality! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterLeader Posted August 28, 2016 Report Share Posted August 28, 2016 Southpaws do have a slight advantage, but nothing too significant to ruin the game. I think this could add another interesting element, much like granite chins & KO Power etc... Make it rare enough that managers don't keep sacking their fighters until they get a southpaw and not too overpowered also. Let's say 1/30 fighters generated are southpaw and 1/30 have Granite Chins - this means a manager would have to wait on average for 900 fighters to get that perfect combo.
