Do people without high synergy also have a lot less likely to find success now? I have been having very low luck lately training.
Some do, yes.
So what happens in the sparring formula is it takes a random number between 25 and desire / 2 + 75 and this is one piece of it.
So what i did was take the 75 away and replace it with 5 different levels that range from 50, 60, 70, 80, and 90. So the "High Synergy" = 90.
I'll add some text for bad pairings eventually MAYBE but over time everyone will get used to it. I wasn't going to give text for the highest compatibility but it was a bit of an olive branch and something cool to see when you get used to the normal sparring process. Coming across a confirmation of 2 great partners together is nice i think.
But yea you will get some partners that have a less likely chance of improvement or slower sparring process but this whole training/sparring is eventually just going to be one part of training when actual trainer staff is added. Two fighters will just spar while your fighter will train 1 on 1 or with a group for your hired trainer.
