Jay's Tycoon Tips

Editorial by Jay Lawrence

The topic for this edition of the Tycoon Times is fight preparation:

When preparing for a fight try to insure you have all these items in place at least on the day of the fight:
-Full energy
-Fighter in the correct city
-High morale
-Sliders set
-correct weight
 

For energy, start a week ahead.  Go to "fight offers" and see what fights you have for the next week.  Select your fighter who has the soonest fight offer. Click on the weight symbol and see how many sessions it will take you to get to 100% energy.  Go to that fighter's gym and set his training schedule so he will have 100% energy before the fight.

Make sure your fighter is in the right city.  Do not wait for auto flight, instead get your flight in at least 2 days prior.  Some big organizations have their own flights which can pick you up too.  Personally, I use public flights for visits and private flights for moving bases.  If you're really lazy with this, just wait until the first auto flight warning and then do the public flight.  The longer you wait, the more of an energy hit you take before the fight.

High Morale - see last edition's article on morale.  Make sure it is high before the fight.

Your sliders should be adjusted to your opponent.  Study your fighter and your opponent and set your sliders accordingly.  Do not forget to set prediction sliders too!

It is common sense to make sure your fighter is at the correct weight, but time and time again I see managers forgetting to manage this appropriately.  Personally I have my fighters only a few pounds above the weight class, but if you're one of those managers who has your fighter 10 pounds or more above the weight class, make sure you get your fighter down to weight.  Nothing is more embarassing than not making weight and nothing will want to make an org owner sack your fighter more.  If need be, you can always purchase weight loss supplements from a nutrition company.
