Introducing Height & Reach, two new fighter attributes that now enhance BM’s existing Fighter Styles!

Brawlers with a height advantage will display greater chin resilience and conserve stamina as they close the distance.
Boxer-Punchers will utilize their stature to land powerful punches from unique angles, while Pressure Fighters exploit their height and reach to smother opponents.
Counter Punchers will masterfully defend and time their counterattacks, all thanks to their enhanced reach.
Experience a whole new level of strategic depth as you exploit height and reach advantages to overcome your opponents in the ring.
