50%+ of fight time is now physical contact between fighters:
- Brawl exchanges: both fighters close to center, trade 4-13 rapid
blows with sparks at contact point, positional pushing, intensity
scaling. Winner lands 65% of hits.
- Clinch combos: attacker rushes in, grapples at close range for
3-11 sustained hits with defender counter-blocking (30% chance).
Ends with a shove-apart.
- Counter-attacks: after a choreography hit, defender retaliates
with 2-3 quick hits (25% chance on non-final exchanges).
- Exchange count increased from 2-4 to 3-7, scaling with round
number and intensity. Later rounds are longer, more brutal.
- Physical exchange chance: 35-70% per non-final exchange,
increasing with intensity and exchange number.
- Reduced dodge chance (12% vs 15%) for more contact, fewer misses.
- Shorter pauses between exchanges for tighter pacing.
