*Stance Explanation, courtesy of MaximumZero:
Traditional [normally called Orthodox, which is probably the word they were looking for,] is right handed. Southpaw is left handed. Some people always fight with the same foot forward, meaning that they have more power in either their right side or left side [power side goes in the back. Orthodox fighters put their left hand and foot forward, to produce more momentum on a right handed/footed strike, from their "power" hand/foot.] If someone is able to switch stances, that means that they can fight with either foot forward, and that means that they have a little less power in one side, but it also means that taking damage to their power side is less detrimental to the overall fight. Also, a lot of orthodox fighters have trouble against southpaws, because southpaws move in a manner that is opposite of what they're used to seeing.

If'n ya want some clarification on anything, feel free to ask. 

[Neonivek]

Players control either (M)ale or (F)emale fighters?  [Men and Women cannot fight each other, ever.]

BOO!

[Zangi]

Game mechanics.  Though, I am not opposed to players making 2 or more character for this, so they can be vicious assholes in an equal opportunity way or whatever.

[StrawBarrel]

1. Players control (F)emale fighters
2. (C)age
3. Soccer Kicks to the body N
4. Soccer Kicks to the head N
5. Headshots to downed opponents N
6. Curbstomping N
7. Both fighters still standingconscious at end of match: Winner by (J)udge
8. Players in (S)ame weight division [Atomweight, Strawweight, Flyweight, Bantamweight, Featherweight]? If the company can only start with one, then Flyweight.

 I never played this game before, but I would think female mma companies are harder to play. I'll probably make a character later.

[EuchreJack]

I've played this.  Lots currently.

Eh, I'm partial to:
1. Women's MMA (It's my favorite), otherwise both.
2. Cage...because ring is laaaame.
3-6. EVERYTHING LEGAL.
7. Draw.  Because Judges suck, decision wins suck, and this is the only option that actually allows players to get draws on their record.  Biggest downside is that it takes away wins from technically skilled but weak fighters.  But if you can't actually hurt someone, did you really win? NO.
8. Players one weight division apart max.  Thus, all players either Strawweight, Flyweight, or Bantamweight, so they can still fight each other, but we can have three truly separate title champions.  All players must be able to wrestle at all player weights.

I'll make a character when we answer m/f?

[Zangi]

Oh, a bite.  I am still in the middle of fiddling with world settings.
I was actually gonna limit female weight divisions to between those 5... >.>  Well, the company can start with all weight divisions or just start with one and add more in as it pleases, so there isn't much of a problem there.  Fighters also can change weight divisions in the middle of the game(within a limit).


As for the company so far...
[ EDIT: Updated in 1st post
Those are the rules for now, but they can of course be changed...  I am partial to everything legal, heh.  And EuchreJack does speak truth about how matches are judged.
Its size is going to start at the national level, so I can have all the toys to play with, especially exclusive contracts, so B12 fighters don't get poached from me, ever.  Though, I guess I could also downsize my national competitors.

I do personally intend to also play a normal game outside of the B12 fighters.

- Akemi Satou vs. Catalina Vinicios
- From Quick Fight mode

(Rd 1 - 05:00) Blurcat Radio is pleased to bring you a special contest; Akemi Satou competes against Catalina Vinicios.
(Rd 1 - 05:00) There's the opening bell!

(Rd 1 - 04:21) Satou lands a left hand in the exchange.
(Rd 1 - 04:21) Vinicios lands a left hand and then scores with a right cross.
(Rd 1 - 03:52) The two fighters stand and trade strikes, but neither lands anything damaging.
(Rd 1 - 03:19) Satou, looking very tentative, pokes out a quick jab that hits.
(Rd 1 - 03:19) Vinicios lands a jab and then hits a body kick.
(Rd 1 - 02:54) The fighters go toe-to-toe with strikes but the flurry ends without any really damaging shots landing.
(Rd 1 - 02:30) We go past the halfway point of this round.
(Rd 1 - 02:17) A fast approach allows Satou to pull Vinicios into a clinch without taking any significant strikes.
(Rd 1 - 01:59) Satou uses a nice knee strike from the grapple and catches Vinicios to the side of the stomach.

(Rd 1 - 01:25) Vinicios winds up seated, her back to the cage, with Satou pressing onto her.
(Rd 1 - 01:08) Satou attempts to guillotine Vinicios, who is stuck against the cage.
(Rd 1 - 01:08) A guillotine choke is applied; Vinicios isn't tapping out though!
(Rd 1 - 01:08) The guillotine must not be completely applied, otherwise this would be over.
(Rd 1 - 01:08) Satou releases the hold, perhaps having gassed her arms by squeezing for too long.
(Rd 1 - 00:31) Satou looks to get past the guard.
(Rd 1 - 00:31) She passes to side control.
(Rd 1 - 00:00) The time runs out on round one.

(Rd 2 - 04:52) Satou quickly steps in and grabs Vinicios.
(Rd 2 - 04:37) Satou is trying to muscle Vinicios up against the cage.
(Rd 2 - 04:37) She does so, and now has Vinicios pinned to the cage.
(Rd 2 - 04:20) Satou catches Vinicios with a knee strike to the thigh.
(Rd 2 - 04:14) Satou looks to set up a trip takedown.
(Rd 2 - 04:14) An excellent outside leg trip sees Vinicios get thrown to the mat, and Satou has no problem getting side control.
(Rd 2 - 03:57) Satou tries to lock Vinicios into an arm triangle.
(Rd 2 - 03:57) The arm triangle is fully applied, Vinicios has no option but to tap out!
(Rd 2 - 03:24) The winner, by submission, is Akemi Satou!
(Rd 2 - 03:24) Official Result: Akemi Satou defeats Catalina Vinicios (Submission (Arm Triangle) in 1:36 of round 2). The match was rated as being Fantastic.

I'm confused with attributes. Do the 5 points count only for background or for all the traits?

The rest is fine.  Kung Fu is kinda like the jack-of-most trades skill set, which can further be broken down to other fighting styles, at least how I see it.   
For clarification on attributes...  Yes, points count for any/all of the traits.  There are only 3 Mental attributes.
@Signature Moves, you don't choose one, you get it with Combat: [Move Here] Master, mind you, your character can still use the signature move regardless, but technically not as good.

Respectful - Indicates fighter is known for being a respectful, dignified person.
All Heart - Indicates that the fighter will never mentally collapse when getting badly out-fought.

... Come to think of it, I should allow for more attributes.  Lets bump it up to 9 points.  Only 1 Background allowed, you can choose multiple behaviors in the rest of the categories.  (Goes to edit it.)

EDIT:
Basically this is what I can see while in-game mode.  After scouting her.  The more detailed stuff, other attributes, I'd have to go into the editor to confirm.  But rest assured, it is there.  And do not worry, I can change everything about it.  (I assumed your fighter is Chinese, so picked up an appropriate picture to go with, of course, there are other options if there is a request.)

[StrawBarrel]

Everthing looks good so far. Could you explain what drugs, Career-Loyal, and Handles Pressure do?

[Zangi]

Ah, drugs.  Recreational drugs, 'legal', but it degrades your fighters overtime.  PED, illegal, increases fighter's stats, same with TRT... kinda.
TRT is illegal in regulated area, but that can be changed with settings.  Even by time period.  In unregulated areas, you don't even have to test for drugs.

Loyal: Cannot be bribed to fight people they like.  (If you make a friend, that is one less person I can put you against.) Mental: All 3 of em have to deal with main/title fights. ... Now that I think of it... Big Game Player is worth 2 points.
Handles Pressure: Won't choke nor excel.
Big Game Player: Will excel.

I put Tilly Tank in the 1st post.  I'd have given her picture #16, but realized she wasn't Featherweight.  >.>

[StrawBarrel]

Are drugs stil attributes? Should I take out drugs and put something else in? Loyal doesn't really sound that helpful and maybe even a negative trait, but I'll keep since I really don't have a true negative attribute.
