It is much easier to defend against attacks now. - Floating text above the opponent's head will default off. You can turn it on using the settings control in the gym. - Hit detection and fist collider sizes have been tightened up.

- Patch Notes - Major Update 2 - 29 March 2018
Another busy week! This update will be live tomorrow (Friday, March 30). With a few exceptions, we're very happy about the state of the single-player game. Adding multiplayer sparring is now our top priority. Please be patient with us while we work on this challenging problem -- It will take several months before we have anything impressive to talk about! Most of the work required is programming in nature, so there won't be anything to show off until we get two real people in a ring slugging it out. We will continue to read the forums daily, fix any problems, and improve outstanding concerns. Update 2 Patch Notes - Players can now rotate facing direction! This solves most problems for Oculus users with only 2 sensors. Use the palm squeeze buttons on Vive, or joystick on everything else. Set or disable rotation speed using the settings configuration board in the gym. - Added more glove c…

- Day 3: Known Issues & Changes - 18 March 2018
- Players report significant improvement in graphics performance. We'll continue to work on optimizations, but the worst problems are fixed. - Players on the Oculus Rift with only 2 sensor cameras might have trouble with hand tracking because the game uses full 360-degree space, but we'll have several improvements for that next week. - True physics hit reactions will work correctly next update, so you can knock people around more realistically. - There is a new "Muscle Damage" system (next update) that lets you hurt specific body parts. Repeatedly and quickly attacking a specific part will cause that muscle group to go weak, rendering enemy attacks and defense less effective for a short time. Repeatedly attacking their head will also cause them to become briefly dazed and unfocused. - The AI is still stepping inside players sometimes. The next update should fix this. (Really) - Player f…
