Undisputed: How To Use Feints

As a seasoned boxing enthusiast with years spent in the ring and countless hours mastering virtual fights, I can confidently say that feints are the unsung heroes of boxing games like Undisputed. They’re the strategic equivalent of a left hook to the liver – unexpected, powerful, and game-changing when used correctly.


Just like in actual boxing, Undisputed resembles a strategic chess game rather than the rapid-fire fighting style of games such as Tekken or Streetfighter. Skilled fighters in this game seek and create opportunities to defeat their opponents through either knockout or points on the judges’ scorecards. A smart move is employing feints, which in boxing are when a player pretends to throw a punch to make the opponent flinch or overreact.

This method exposes your style as a player or combatant, providing a glimpse of what you’re capable of. Unfortunately, the feint mechanic in ‘Undisputed’ isn’t clearly detailed in the game’s control settings and can be less intuitive compared to its use in ‘UFC 5’. This tutorial shows you how to skillfully employ feints during boxing matches in ‘Undisputed’.

How To Use Feints In Undisputed

In the controls menu of “Undisputed,” you’ll find a fundamental explanation of its punching mechanics. However, it falls short by only indicating one of the necessary button presses for a feint, which actually requires two. The control layout suggests that the feint and taunt use the same button, but this is only partially correct. To perform a feint in Undisputed, simultaneously press the left direction on the D-pad together with any punch button, or use a combination of left and the right stick.

Feints might seem ineffective when battling AI opponents, but they prove incredibly useful during multiplayer games online.

Controller Inputs For Feints

Coordinating a simultaneous press of left on the D-Pad and an attack might feel clumsy initially, necessitating some practice to smoothly transition from a feint to a genuine strike. However, persist with it as a feint can provide chances – if your opponent responds by defending their face, you can target the body (and vice versa). It’s also an effective method of generating opportunities for landing counterpunches by retaliating with combos against opponents who excessively use the strong punch in online modes.
