Steel City Responds to Undisputed’s Power Punch Issue
Undisputed’s power punches have been a hot topic in the community following the game’s release, with various Reddit posts and reviews highlighting the severe issue. For players who are daring enough to jump into an online game, whether it be ranked or casual, opponents are simply spamming power punches and immediately breaking through the guard to get a quick KO.
