IconManagement Posted August 27, 2021 Report Share Posted August 27, 2021 This season and my first season of Island is over now. While I am satisfied with my own performance having been able to test different sliders setting and their effect on actual matches I have been starting to wonder about fighter height and just how much of an effect does it have. Here is what mmatycooninfo states about height: "Taller people will have a natural reach advantage and in turn will have more chance of landing strikes when in the standup position. However, they are also easier to take down and easier to sub because of their lanky limbs. Basically anything you'd expect in real life." I suppose this is in relation to your opponents height. It would not make a whole lot sense any other way. However does this not open the gates of min maxing your fighter in a way you get "unrealistic" results. Here is recent example from The Island: Balin Trollslayer https://www.mmatycoon.com/fighterprofilepublic.php?FID=373423 Rather nice idea from his manager and move power to him. Fantastic fighter and great manager. this being said... So here you have 150 cm "tall" HW fighter. Basically a midget who happens to weight 265 lbs. Now obviously he will always be much shorter than his opponent so according to wiki he should have easier time to both take down and sub his opponents. Now if we take a look at actual results on his matches we can see that he had absolutely no issues taking his opponents down. In fact he could take all and everyone down to ground at will. His opponent never had a chance to landing any punches etc. Too bad he was not also submission expert so I can not see what his sub% would have been. Anyway it would seem effect of height difference seems to be significant and meaningful. So what is the deal here? Want to have a GnP or submission expert guy? Just do something like 100-160 cm to min max the fighter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IconManagement Posted August 27, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2021 Actually I just noticed 150 cm is as low as you can go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antary Posted August 27, 2021 Report Share Posted August 27, 2021 Just like with many things in this game, it's borderline impossible to tell what the effects of height and weight are and how much of a difference they make. Too many hidden factors at play and no real way to isolate any of them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xyel Posted August 27, 2021 Report Share Posted August 27, 2021 I'm not going to give any spoilers because figuring out this type of stuff is a large part of the fun of the MMAT journey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
