Unlike traditional systems, "Stats Fight" doesn't aim to count every movement - it focuses on meaningful, fight-relevant actions. What Counts as a Thrown Strike? In "Stats Fight", not every hand movement is recorded as a strike. A strike is only counted if it: poses real danger to the opponent is thrown with intent to impact, not just to measure distance This means: feints are excluded probing the distance are excluded 👉 The goal is to filter out “noise” and focus only on actions that could realistically influence the fight.

What Counts as a Landed Strike? The core principle is damage and impact. A landed strike must be: a high-amplitude action (not a light touch) either cleanly reaching the opponent or meaningfully interacting with a solid “frame” block pressed against the body or head 👉 Accuracy alone is not enough - the strike must carry visible intent and effect.

What as a successful takedown? In "Stats Fight", a takedown is considered successful only when it achieves real impact - either the fighter deals damage or establishes control over the opponent after the takedown. It’s not just about bringing someone to the ground, but making that action meaningful in the context of the fight.

What is a submission attempt? A submission attempt in "Stats Fight" is counted when a fighter fully “closes the lock” and starts applying pressure. It's not just about wanting to make an attempt; the attempt must demonstrate a real threat of finishing the fight, reflecting genuine offensive action.
