Hand Pad training & sparring/ getting no skill points

[Ogami]

So, im new to the game but looked over some basic guides before starting playing.
Pretty much every guide says that hand pad training/sparring in the gym is highly benefitial and will net you guranteed skill points.
I now payed for the hand pad training/sparring 4 times and did not get a single skill point. According to the guides i should get 1 guranteed point even at losing.
What am i missing? Day 13 STR 2 AGI 4 STA 4.

I didn't know it was possible to fail hand pads sparring. Put any kind of attack on the bar and press fight.

[Ogami]

I do, then the hand pad sparring starts and after 1 round the screen turns to " You Lose", i dont get any points and thats it. Thats why i am confused.

[Ghin]

Can you screenshot the You Lose for hand pads sparring?

Basically the sparring starts, i punch the pads and at the end of the round "LOSE" and then the "You Lose" Stat screen and i dont get any points.

might be a bug?

What attacks are you using? I was hoping to see that but somehow you managed not to take a screenshot of that.

[Ogami]

Just the 2 basic skills you have at the start, punch and block.

Here is another screen of the "Lose" message at the end of hand pad sparring round one.

It must be some kind of bug. That makes absolutely no sense.

[Ogami]

Yeah i thought so. Even tried a second character and get the same result.
I will reinstall the game and try again with a new character.

It's not a bug, you need to do atleast 1 damage to "win".

I'm on the 3DS but I've recorded a video of what this looks like, since I'm running into the same problem. As you can see, I'm doing damage and still losing and getting nothing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SET7_q8aNhE

Might be based on the HP you start with...that doesn't seem like a correct implementation.

hmmm, judging by your stats, instead of using punch, you should be using kicks or the high punch. But it's weird, with two on strength you should hit the pads for damage and win the hand pad training automatically.

Now, the sparring is more difficult since silver is 5/5/5

the thing abou tpad training is if you don't do any damage, you default to losing. now about punching, silver can block your punches and negate pretty much all your damage if you are pathetically weak. this has happened to me only at the beginning of the game.
