Can some please explain CAF (create a fighter) in detail?

[Pequeño Corey]

I gather from context that it’s a fighter with a “generic” style that you would make in the UFC video game. I’ve heard this term applied to mostly wrestle/boxer types that aren’t great at anything, but very well rounded.

With that said, I still don’t understand why CAF would be associated exclusively to a jack-of-all trades fighter. What if I wanted to make a specialist type fighter, like Khabib or Anderson? CAFs and specialist are equally represented in the pantheon of GOATs, so it’s hard to say that one is preferable. Is there a nuance in the video game that I’m not understanding?

Thanks for helping me to unpack this one, sherbros.

Always assumed it was referring to aesthetic.

 

[Krixes]

It's an option on video games.

It's not as much a generic style as it is a generic look which is why Anthony Smith is known as the original CAF.
He also fits both criteria imo

I always thought it referred to a fighter who is very well rounded but extremely basic.

Just another stupid abrevation "fad"that idiots are adding to their vocabulary.


Notice how ALPHA, thick -solid- tight, and manelet are tapering off? Sheep need new sayings to feel like theyre moving ahead in life

Aesthetically when you start a caf your fighter has default settings which is pretty much bald, six pack, 6”0’, plain as fuck face with no distinguishing attributes.

i always assumed it was mostly about looks. shitty tribal tattoos and chain link fences behind a phrase in a language they dont understand.

It's called an acronym. Not an abbreviation. Also, "alpha" and "manlet" are what you'd call "words."

It's not about their style it's their appearance

manlets are always tapering off

 

[Pequeño Corey]

So is it aesthetic? Or fight style?
