Man, that was the best game i've played so far. It was just so good !
The concept is pure genius, the game is fun, it looks good.
But
-i didn't really experience knockback, maybe it was just weak
- you didn't get the story to its full potential. I expected at least an end dialogue. And all the lines "Coach loyal [...]" , it was like, built in a way i expected a treason or something.
- i was lost with who is who in the story, but that's my fault i guess
(spoiler)
I REALLY liked the round 3 (if i remember correctly) when the opponent is super weak but the stats are always swapped (except for the first matchs, it was not random at this point, was it ?). I figured it out before the match and put 0 to each stat (i feel smart :p).

I glad you liked it I really grinded :)
I definitely could have worked on the balancing more but Im happy you got to the point of understanding that you knew which stats could be improved. Also my plan was to have Coach betray you at the end to create irony but lastminute I thought it would be heartwarming if he didn't but I see how I missed on some of that heartwarming-ness by not putting in that outro sequence lol.
And I made the decision to rig certain points just so the player would be able to understand the gimmik/gameplay premises and always experience key moments. I don't wanna reveal which ones are rigged but a majority of the levels are truly random.
Im happy for your feedback tho and Im happy you figured out the game :)))
