pro tip for fighting:
- do not attack first, get in front of opponent basically touching them
- as soon as you see them charging a punch, press s and space to dodge backwards
- when opponent punch animation is almost finished, press f for a heavy attack which gets you close enough to hit them while they recover from their punch
- this gets them on the floor, you can get 3-4 clean kicks on them
- when they get up stop attacking, and again stay close waiting for their attack so you can dodge backwards
- repeat
with this you can avoid ever getting hit at all, and with a few upgrades you can defeat each enemy in 2 "cycles" (punch to the floor and kick 3-4 times, just done twice per opponent)
always do arena, and fastest way to complete it seems:
- walk towards door, let first opponent get into initial room, defeat them there
- walk into large main room, defeat second opponent there
- take corridor in far right side of large room, defeat opponent you find along the way
- follow the corridor and you find last 2 opponents fighting, let them finish it then defeat the other with 1 heavy punch and 1-2 kicks with same strategy as above (or maybe try getting a few hits in, but be careful as they will hit you too while hitting each other, need to time it very well)
with these i basically grinded whole affection and upgrades with only healing once
also congrats to dev, this is surprisingly fun. i will say, some H scenes throughout fighting could make it more interesting, but not sure how, maybe some special ability of some kind? i feel like combat right now isnt too bad, but also for a H game the H scenes seem like an afterthought currently.
