It doesn't.
Are you sure it wasn't spring man in disguise.
they should just allow for us to change it or at least have like 2 options to choose from like Zelda
ZL and ZR to punch is my preferred way to do it. it just feels right, with each corresponding to its respective arm.

Hedlok wins in a timeout regardless of health? That sucks.

The key revelation for me today was that holding L or R charges both fists, not just the corresponding one. Opens up so much more strategy.

That also happened tonight. But I got my revenge on him as well.

I spent an hour trying to figure out how to change character colours, I never did figure it out.
Man, I kept getting salted up when I get snagged by a grab that I feel should've just missed or my punch should've interrupted it, in reality I think I'm having trouble judging when and where things are hitting or whiffing.

102, not too shabby for having to learn Hedlock and Twintelle

Just in case anyone asks, you can still do the proxy trick to keep playing in Warm Up mode. 
This game might become more successful than excepted...
Won a 13-0 game. Feels good man.

Well, my last match was against Lv 6 Hedlok. We got him to around 2% hp and he won by time out...
Twintelle is fun! Her air float ends with another Dash, and you can angle it in a different direction. Very nice for evasive action!

Nah, I was just jonesing you. I had a decent run with Master Mummy, 1P. Won like 5 matches in a row which is good for me.
Thought it was only L to charge. Nice.

This game just really feels great to play, especially when you out maneuver your opponent, so fun.
learned today, not all gloves can do an outward arc punch
Also I love the coop boss battle

New additions to the testpunch didn't really change my opinion on the game. It's fun for a few matches, but not really an experience that I'm willing to pay full retail price for.
I'm excited to watch the tournament at E3, though! I can only imagine how intense some of the matches with skilled players can be, so many tactics and ways to throw off your opponent.

New modes were great. I did pretty well with hoops and the Hedlock was awesome. Those were my favorite matches by far. Lost once due to time out, but overall level 5 or lower we could beat before the time went out.
Played as Twintelle the whole time and damn, she's awesome as hell. I think Mechanica and her are my best characters so far. Still some things I gotta figure out, but I won over 70% of my matches and got my first perfect. Was great. People were definitely better this time around, though. Had to use a lot more strategy to win than in the past. Made for some damn intense matches.

Is Hoops only 1v1, or did people see 2v2 rooms as well? I never got to play it either way.
Faced a silver Hedlok on a pink Mechanica, which looks like it might have been one of Sid's sadistically assembled mutant toys in Toy Story.
Also, for Skillshot, using electric arms to disable your opponent just before the targets come up is rather satisfying, if cheap.

Yeah it's showing how much better the game is.
The people who played the first 10 minutes of the first test punch and were making final judgements...
That was embarrassing to read through
Man people are starting to bring their A game. Had two really tough Japanese players in one of the last lobbies I was in! I got to figure out how to counter Ribbon Girl and Mechanica's aerial movement. Also, Headlock bodied us in every match I had it. Curses!
I had a lot fun experimenting with different combinations with Minmin's arms. Her dragon ability is really cool and I look forward to trying out different arms with it.

I was fighting that super amazing Alex Ribbon Girl and I was winning! I had the life lead with only two seconds left when...

I fought this guy once in the lobby and he beat me in a close game so I really wanted this rematch, and my adjustments were working! But then I get booted with 2 seconds on the clock!!
