[quote]Perhaps he had great hidden stats, perhaps you "rolled" a 1 and he "rolled" a 6, perhaps you used up all your luck beating on 278lbs fighters.
The simple fact is that when there's a 40lbs weight difference it's not "bullshit" when your fighter loses. It could be unlucky, but it's not bullshit.
Yes, it is bullshit if they're using a style they have weak stats for. It would be bullshit if we were the same weight and using the same style. It's ridiculous.
[sarcasm]When a player doesn't understand something that occurs, there is clearly something wrong with the game.[/sarcasm]
I think at this point I understand the game well enough to understand how I can lose certain fights, but stuff like this? Come on, what the fuck? He wasn't a CS fighter, but he switched to that style with little stat support and beat me despite choosing a style that I've been led to believe is a good counter to that style.
So what's the explanation here? Weight? That's all he beat me by? Okay, then explain why I beat some stronger fighters who hold the same kind of weight advantage over my fighter?[/quote]
Because the game isn't rock/paper/scissors where there's a 100% certainty of what the result will be if two people select certain styles. It's also not just rock/paper/scissors where some people are better at rock than you are at scissors. It's also not just rock/paper/scissors where some people are better at rock than you are at scissors but you have a 30lbs weight advantage. It's also not just rock/paper/scissors where some people are better at rock than you are at scissors but you have a 30lbs weight advantage, however the other fighter will never quit and has a rock solid chin. There's also the fact that the game "rolls dice" and sometimes while everything is in your favour, you'll still lose. That's not bullshit, that's bad luck...
In terms of MMArmy type stats Cro Cop would have destroyed Randleman and Kongo, GSP would always destroy Serra, BANG would never have been KO'd in a round by Morgan etc etc. Yet they all lost. Were those fights bullshit?
In fact, what do you mean by bullshit? That the game cheated you? That the system was set up to screw you? Or that you were unlucky in a fight? Because we've all been unlucky in fights before. I've had top notch FS fighters KO'd by 8pts where I had the weight advantage, GnP'ers pound out by CS'rs etc etc. It's not bullshit, it is, in a manner of speaking, why you actually fight the fight.
