Punch Names...what?

[Haroshia]

What's a Barrel Strike? What's a Paw Strike? Basically can somebody break down the real world equivalents of some of these attacks? I'm just curious.

Those name do exists in the martial arts lexicon (at least a great majority). But I am unable to explain you what exact moves they are.

I've literally never heard of these names within the context of martial arts.

[Psysop]

Those are not the exact common names but for example, Paw strike is inspired by animal attack moves like tiger for kungfu.

Except Chinese martial arts do not traditionally name specific strikes; that's more of a convention born of popular culture. A "paw strike" as you call it would be nonfunctional in a boxing setting because the boxing gloves would make it nonfunctional, and is outright illegal in MMA settings.

Basically, if anything, I'd say this game makes a bunch of stuff up and pretends to be about boxing, but it's much closer to no-holds-barred fighting than actual boxing.

[Psysop]

I understand your point. But, besides its name and store description, the game feels more MMA fights than boxe fights, to the point I completly forgot about this until I read your post and checked the store page.

It's not even MMA; in MMA, clawing, scratching, headbutts and strikes to the spine (which is what "backbreaker" sounds like) are completely illegal. This is more like Street Fighter manager than a boxing or MMA manager.

every gym and coach has a set of names none of the same as if a streamline so when you hear your conrner man call a "double up" only u know what that puch means so the dude you vs does not know what is coming.

"Double up" means to throw a punch twice. It fails to refer to what punch, which is why no coach ever tells their fighter to "double up" without also specifying the punch, ie, "Double up on your jab."

Boxing (and MMA striking) coaches generally use a numbering system for the punches, with the most commonly used (read: used by just about every coach other than Cus D'Amato's coaching tree) one being the following:

1. Jab
2. Cross
3. Lead Hook
4. Rear Hook
5. Lead Uppercut
6. Rear Uppercut

Cus D'Amato uses a different numbering system, which goes as follows:

1. Left Hook
2. Right Cross
3. Left Uppercut to Head
4. Right Uppercut
5. Left Uppercut
6. Right Hook to Body
7. Jab
8. Right Hook to the Head
9. Jab to the Body

i know man i was just using a quick example they use names only the trainers and fighters know one i hear from my cousins gym "Whip it up" would mean jab with upercut combo.

If the idea is that only the fighter (played by the player) and the coach (also played by the player) knows what each attack is, then the idea fails when the player has no idea what the attack is based on just the name. And there's also the fact the names are for individual attacks, not attack combinations, which would be like calling "mashed potatoes" when you mean a jab without telling the fighter first what "mash potatoes" even means.

[Im bald sorry]

Any strike named after an animal or an object is 95 % of the time from some fairy tale martial art.
the kind of fighting style like kempo / kung fu and kali.

^ garbage martial arts btw.


but , this game isn't based on reality so , WEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
