Like the real sport of boxing,Undisputedis a battle more akin to a chess match than a fast-paced fight like theTekkenorStreetfighterseries. Good fighters will create and look for openings to either beat their opponents by knockout or a win on the judge’s scorecards. A great way to do this is by using feints. Feints in boxing involve pretending to throw a punch to prompt an opponent to flinch or overreact.
This creates openings and paints a picture of what kind of player/fighter you’re dealing with. Unfortunately, using the feint mechanic inUndisputedisn’t explained well in the game’s controls menu and isn’t as easy to use as inUFC 5. This guide demonstrates how to use feints effectively during boxing matches inUndisputed.
How To Use Feints In Undisputed
The controls menu provides a basic overview ofUndisputed’s punching mechanics. Unfortunately, it only tells you one of the required button presses to throw a feint when you need two. The control setup explains that the feint is the same button as the taunt, but this is only half true.To execute a feint inUndisputed, press left on the D-pad along with any punch button simultaneously, or left and the right stick.
Although feints don’t appear to work against computer-controlled opponents, they’re a great tool in online matches.

Simultaneously pressing left on the D-Pad and attacking can be awkward and may require some practice to transition from a feint to a real punch, but stick with it. Using a feint cancreate openings— if an opponent reacts and covers up their face, you’re able to attack the body (and vice versa). It’s also another way to create opportunities to land counterpunches byfiring back with comboson opponents spamming thepower punchin online modes.
