I may be a bit blinded by nostalgia I give u that but that video
Was a bad example to show it had slow punching. And I thought champion was a lil too fast n u could just button mash / randomly flick the stick n get wins. I liked it but I hated that part of it. Loved the pushing and the mike Tyson head movement Tho.
I used to murder cats online who wanted to button mash or were too obvious with what they were doing. I'd just stay far enough out of range until they lunged in then I'd counter with a power straight right. If you could time your opponent coming in and know when to duck it was a wrap. And if somebody button mashed too much I'd just dance around for 2-3 rounds until their stamina drained and then turn up the pressure. By round 6-7 it was over. I loved Fight Night Champion and wish there was some next gen version of it, even if it was just a port.






Total punch control was a gimmick that was impractical as hell.
