Fighters are given numeric ratings for dozens of traits. It's a simulation program rather an RPG type of game.....although it DOES section where you can create a fictional fighter and take him through his career. I don't mess with that though as I'm more interested in real life fighters.

i mean RPG as in rolls like rolls of dice.

not roles, like acting or pretending ^^


perhaps i'm getting the acronym wrong of RPG. i probably am.

and i jus figured out that i'm spelling "rolls" incorrectly.


i'm talking about the numbers
like a videogame or model for the whether

you know what i mean?

based on probabilities. "Rolls" i think is how it would be spelled. {edit: actually i spelled it right}

when you say simulation
i think that's what i'm getting at

is it based on math is my basic question i guess

Yeah, similar to the stat based sims you see for baseball and football.

BTW, the sim I used is the computerized version of the sim that fightfanSHO is using in the other thread. It has a number of refinements that aren't possible with a card sim and contains a lot more fighters. It just doesn't have the fun quotient that "hands on" gives.

Great effort POET....... I'm a bit surprised with a couple of things,... #1. I expected a lot more spite,... both men are not big believers in rules,.... Duran was a great hater of opponents, but Wolgast turned hate into an art form. I see duran being hit low, Raked by laces, headbutted, elbowed and back-fisted. #2. Wolgast would get stronger as the fight went into the late rounds,.... as expected, Duran started faster..... but I do think there would be real hatred and spite between them..... Pre-Fight would involve Wolgast taunting and baiting Roberto,... no doubt telling Duran that he was gonna be butchered.. That alone would have Duran in an apoplexy so maybe the above result is realistic,.. an angry Duran would vow annihilation on the loud-mouth Wolgast..... Gee the fight was exciting to read.......... the fight was so great,,. that I demand a re-match,.... nay I demand they have 11 fights at least..... Nuclear fusion 2.
