Major Questions


What is this Game all about? :


The Game is about Mixed Martial arts. While different forms of unorganized, no-rules, unarmed combat predate history, civilization, and even the human species itself (even apes fight hand-to-hand), the earliest documented, organized, minimal-rules fighting event was the ancient Greek pankration, which was introduced into the Olympic Games in 648 B.C. (Pankration was an ancient form of unarmed hand to hand combat resembling modern MMA.)

The techniques utilized in mixed martial arts competition generally fall into two categories: striking techniques (such as kicks, knees and punches) and grappling techniques (such as clinch holds, pinning holds, submission holds, sweeps, takedowns and throws).

Mixed martial artists must cross-train in a variety of styles to counter their opponent's strengths and remain effective in all the phases of combat. For instance, a stand-up fighter (One of the classes of fighter's in this game, discussed later) will have little opportunity to use their skills against a submission artist (One of the classes of fighter's in this game, discussed later) who has also trained in take downs.

Attributes in the game :


Strength - how powerful or strong your fighter is.. the more strength a fighter has, the harder they will hit.
Speed - how fast your fighter can move.. the more speed a fighter has, the more likely the opponent will miss him or it gives him a better chance of hitting the opponent first.
Endurance - how long your fighter can last in the ring without getting to the point of exhaustion.. this might not seem that important but it is, it basically can give you the advantage in those late round fights as you will be less tired than your opponent, which would mean you could preform better than the opponent.
Heart - how much punishment or damage a fighter can take before getting KO'ed or submitting.. the more heart you have, the more likely you will outlast the opponent or the longer it will take for the opponent to beat you.
Technique - how well your fighter will preform submission moves, also could be how well your moves are executed.. the more technique a fighter has, the better he will be at making someone tap out or land that perfect knockout shot right on the chin.
Intelligence - how smart your fighter is in the ring, also how well your fighter executes a move.. the more intelligence a fighter has, the more likely he will not make stupid mistakes inside the ring.

Advanced Techniques.


Clinch striking Offense/Defense – As the name suggests this statistic affects the quality of your striking and Defence against striking in the clinch/tie up position.
Clinch Grapple Offense/Defense – This statistic dictates how strong you are at grappling in the clinch position, you would need to win the clinch grapple to begin clinch striking/going for takedowns etc.
Ground Striking Offense/Defense – This quality of your striking or defence against striking once a fight goes to the floor of the octagon. Think Ground and Pound.
Ground Grapple Offense/Defense – Who will take control when things go the ground, the winner here will find themselves in the dominant position for ground and pound or submissions.
Standing strikes Offense/Defense – Who will control the bout when both competitors are on their feet? How effective will your striking or your defence against striking be?
Standing Kicks Offense/Defense – Same as per standing strikes but this time for your Kicking.
Takedown Offense/Defense – How strong are your takedowns or how good is your sprawl? This will dictate how succesfull you are at taking it to the canvas or how succesfull you are at keeping it standing up.
Submission Offense/Defense– How good are you tapping your opponent? How good are you at preventing your opponent from getting you in submissions – this statistic shall decide.

Your Stable:
This will allow you to create a new fighter or update your existing.  You are allowed up to 5 fighters, each have their own bank account to manage.  You have 2 icons:
Active Fighter - Shows you at a quick glance which fighter is active.  By being active, that means when you fight or train, he will be the one you are doing that with.
Used for Referral - This is your fighter that will get 50k for each person that signs up from your link (Its under 'Referral' on the menu)

Once you click on a fighter in your stable, the selection will roll down like an accordian.  Here you have a TON of options, a bunch that are new.
Set as Active fighter - If you are on a fighter that is not active, this button will be clickable to make him your active fighter.
Add Funds - This allows you to transfer credits for game money to your fighter.  The current rate is 1 credit = $1,000.  This allows you to train more if you need to.
Use for Referral - Same as active fighter, it allows you to set the active fighter for referral cash.
Change Weight Class - Over time, based on your self fought wins, you can and will need to advance to a higher class.  If this is not greyed out, that means you can now advance.  Now that we exited beta, you will get an ingame message stating which fighter of yours can move up to a new weight class.  The goal of the game is to make it to the Hall of Fame class (7th and top class in game)
The classes are:
1) Streets
2) Amateur
3) Local
4) Regional
5) National
6) International
7) Hall of Fame (once you achive this class, your fighter stops aging, never is forced to retire and can train forever (cash/time limited),  This allows you to prove you are the best in the game.

Fighter Images - Also a brand new feature.  We allow our Premium members to upload not 1, but 3 images.  You will have an image that everyone sees when they view your info, another when you win, and another when you lose.
[bChange Fighters Name - ][/b] - Once you buy this item from the store, the button becomes active and lets you change your fighters name.
Fighting out of... - Once you buy this item from the store, the button becomes active and lets you set your fighters location.
Retire Fighter - This allows you to put your fighter into retirement.  This is non-reversible, so use caution.  But maybe you do not like how your fighter is doing, put an end to him and make a new one with this option.

Find A Fight Page:
This page has been retooled since we exited beta.  We now show more info without clicking anything.  It shows whether the fighter is a Premium member, or whether they are online or not.  To view more info,  Click the Details button.
Once you click Details, you are shown more info about your opponent.  Things like their sponsor, last 5 fights, or even how they win their fights.  You have 2 buttons in front of you to chose from:
Fight this Opponent - Allows you to fight the opponent.  NOTE --> If you have not donated recently, you will have a 4 minute wait between fights
Spy on Opponent - This is a new feature that allows you to see your opponents stats.  By stats, we mean EVERYTHING!!  This will cost you however,  In the store you can purchase this ability for 50 credits.
The alternating red/green text you see, has no meaning.  Its just alternating colors to make it easier to read and tell who did what.

Sparring Page:
This is the same as find a fight page with the exception that any fight does not count, it does not add money or add money.  This is simply a way to test your oppenents prior to the real fight.  NOTE --> If you have not donated recently, you will have a 4 minute wait between fights
Fight this Opponent - Allows you to fight the opponent.  Remember, if you are not a donator, you will have to wait 4 minutes between fights.
Spy on Opponent - This is a new feature that allows you to see your opponents stats.  By stats, we mean EVERYTHING!!  This will cost you however,  In the store you can purchase this ability for 50 credits.

Tournament Page:
Tournaments are run daily for the first 32 fighters of each class that sign up.  It costs 25 credits to enter your fighter into the tournament.  The payout is 75% goes to the winner and 25% goes to the runner up.  The game now has an "upset factor" built into it.  This allows for the occasional upset.  But remember, just because someone is rated higher than you does not mean they can beat you.

PPV Page: Monthly PPV for free credits, only a few fights per month in here, picked by staff..


Training Page:
You pay for training with game cash that you earn various ways, but mainly by fighting.  This is the heart of the game in the sense that you need to train your fighter correctly based on the style you want your fighter to be.  An example is, if you want to to use the boxing style, you most likely would not want to train takedown offense.
As a premium member, you get 1 training queue.  However anyone can purchase one for a one-time use in the store.  You also have the ability to cancel something in the queue.

Strategy Page:
This is where you set your strategy based on your style.  While in beta, this was not used as much as I would have liked, however, out of beta, it now will give you a boost.  We will use the boxer example again, if you are a boxer, why would you want to fight on the ground?  You wouldnt and your fighter would pay the price.

Sponsors Page:
This is where you get a small boost with each fight based on your rating.  You should always try to have the highest paying sponsor so that you get the most money per fight.

Store Page:
Will add later

Referral Page:
This is your referral link.  Give this out for others to join using it.  You will get credits and game cash.  Plus if they donate, you will get a nice bump in credits as well.
