Direct answer

Before a match, confirm its type and requirement, record the chosen fighter, address one visible weakness, check the current gym and cash reserve, then save the result with full opponent context.

A short check immediately before entry

For a routine progression attempt, recording a short baseline is enough; you do not need to run a formal experiment every match. When comparing a training change, save the result before another purchase so it stays attached to the correct preparation. Do not attribute a new win to a setting change or rarity label without compatible evidence.

Confirm the match context

  • NPC or player-fighter match.
  • League or progression position.
  • Opponent information shown by the game.
  • Entry, stake, or betting context.
  • Current update and server.

Choose the fighter deliberately

Select for the current documented job rather than a rarity label alone. Preserve the card, visible strength and weakness, current training state, and total investment.

  • Exact name and group.
  • Visible before-state.
  • Reason for selection.
  • Known limitation.

Make one preparation change

Train one weakness or purchase one clearly relevant upgrade, then use the closest available comparable match. Several simultaneous changes make a result difficult to learn from.

  • State the hypothesis.
  • Record the cost.
  • Capture the after-state.
  • Keep other conditions as stable as possible.

Save the result, including losses

  • Full result message.
  • Reward and balance change.
  • Opponent and match category.
  • What changed before the match.
  • What remains uncertain.
Supported background
  • The developer confirms training, strengths and weaknesses, NPC matches, and player-fighter matches.
  • Players manage preparation and watch fighters compete.
Details still to check
  • No official guaranteed-win preparation formula is public.
  • Opponent and matchmaking mechanics require live evidence.
