Catfight is rigged

[TTV_Kryptical]

After losing everytime in the finals I decided to test something.
I setup two macro keys that would spam "e" at about 30 times a second. The AI would still win on the ties. I then slowed the game down and did the same and still couldn't win.

Just a heads up if anyone is going to bet money

Yup, it is absolutely rigged in the players favor, with draws often being very easy to win. This is even a reliable way to win fights, try to use your move that beats one of the enemies best and draws their other best.

As a completely on-topic response: 30 times a second is likely too fast for the game, especially if you slow the game down for effectively higher speeds. The game likely has a cap on how many inputs it'll accept/recognize as mashing, and any higher can mess it up. Try something like 15 or 20 per second. If you get the same result, tone it down to 10. These speeds are much closer to humanly possible, and wouild thus be much more likely to work.

Well I did try with regular delay of 0.6ms delay between button presses which is my normal speed and it also still didn't work.

It's not rigged, you can see power of every move of the girl. If she has at least 2 more stars than you, probably you won't outmash the tie.

I've just found multiple thread of the exact same issue, all of it is RNG including the ties.
The girl I was using Jennifer against rei got wrecked on all ties in the final.

Oh well I was wondering the same thing,and then I remembered real wrestling is also rigged

Everything about the JCC is RNG.

- You don't have to button mash at turbo speed if the game decides it wants to let you win. Sometimes you could just stop button mashing after a few dozen presses and still win. If it starts resisting after it looks like you're winning, then most likely the game just decided for you to lose.
- You could probably always pick the ninja girl and still have the same chances of winning as Jennifer.

Pro tip: any time a Sega game includes Rock Paper Scisors, it's rigged.

Try to avoid people who have the comeback ability if you can (here they both where in the other "pool" as in if i'm unlucky I'll encounter them in the finals.) and even if it can be RNG you have ways to increase your luck.

[The Filet-O-Fish®]

While it is RNG-based, and there is some luck involved, there are ways to increase the odds in your favor.

Pay attention to the ticker at the bottom. You want to bet on a girl that's had something bad happen to them (even if it's an injury). Leave and come back until the girl you want to bet on has had something bad happen to them, and hopefully it's one with a high payout.

While fighting, pay attention to how often the opponent chooses a sign. If they use paper twice or three times in a row, then stick with scissors, because she has a very high chance of choosing paper at any given time. If it's relatively even, pick the sign that goes against the last sign the opponent picked. So if last time they picked scissors, choose rock.

I've won 4/5 times using this method.

I won 10 matches of 14. It's a pretty boring mini-game, but easy.

Bet on Jennifer only (she has initiative and the best stats [4-star paper, 5-star rock, 5-star scissor]). Let's suppose your opponent has 2-star scissors, 4-star rock and 5-star paper, then the strategy is to use paper during the whole match, since her scissors won't deal a lot of damage. It's only risky when the opponent has the "comeback" perk or deals a rainbow attack when it is not supposed to.

Nah man, this crap is totally rigged. Just got to pray to RN Geezuz
