Pugilist's Pride

MrApophos · Apr 7, 2016

I just one-shotted someone in a pugilism match. It was disgusting to behold, the wet crunch sound coupled with the apparent removal of the opponents face in a red mist. Fantastic. Best fist-fighting game ever.

I'd like to hear other one-shot tales, if you have them!

When the new arena mode was freshly released I decided to do mostly pugilism matches for a few days to get some practice. I participated in roughly 3,000 pugilism matches and had 50+ one-punch KO's. It was fun

.

I had the most success with one-punch KO's when dashing at the opponent whilst they are simultaneously charging towards you and then land a solid uppercut to their jaw. The momentum of both people moving towards each other seems to give the punch massive power.

I had like a sliver of health left, I hadn't got a hit on my enemy and i was sure i was about to get knocked out.
That's when it happened, I landed the luckiest punch ever. The noise of the hit was like a wet sound. They fell over backwards so hard they ended up doing a sort of Backwards scorpion fall. All their body's weigth was on their neck and they were knocked out. It was hilarious

How does that apply to the game? The only time I've been capable of doing one-hit KO's during thousands of fights is when both people are moving towards each other. Also, I've been actually punched while sparring on a regular basis for a few years; when moving towards an incoming punch it definitely hurt more than when I was moving away from an incoming blow.

One shot in pugilism is easy(in Exanima of course). Double click + step forward and target at opponents face.

MrApophos · Apr 8, 2016

Easy or no, It was my first and I'm still proud!

I thought exactly the same thing when I lost my virginity.

Also, one shots are glorious. The only weapon I have success at this other than my bare fits are the spiked and flanged maces.

Have you tried to get to master rank in the arena using a naked character?

RobG · Apr 10, 2016

Not yet haha, ive not done any naked challenge for quite a while actually, I imagine naked in the new arena is pretty challenging! I will give it a go at some point. Why have you??

MrMerks · Apr 10, 2016

Haha no, I just saw your video and the thought came to me. I'm gonna try that out after my next run of exanima now

RobG · Apr 10, 2016

Good luck! Let us know how it pans out

Read my post above, I explain how to do it.

It is very possible. ;d Much easier with uppercuts but possible with normal too.
