Hey everyone, I wanted to share some progress from my no-upgrades run in Def Jam: Fight for NY.
Here’s the setup:
No points into stats or finishers/moves
Only saving dev points to unlock new fighting styles
Already accumulated enough points early in the story to get the two other fighting styles
Screenshots:
Skill/Development screen showing saved dev points
Story progress 15/0 record
Free-for-All , Trejo, and Sean Paul collage just to show how far I’ve made it without upgrades

If things get difficult, I will add points on the stat that comes as a boost when you buy a fighting style. Wrestlers added upper strength and toughness. Those are the only stats I will allow myself to upgrade
This run is all about timing, reversals, and using the environment, not raw stats.
Has anyone else tried a style-only run? I'm curious to see how early you all managed to save points for multiple styles and your strategies for mid-to-late game fights.
