Compare punch power and movement speed before spending Hits on your next unlock.

Glove Compare

Choosing between two gloves in Punch Up should not require three rejoins. The Glove Compare tool lets you evaluate punch power versus movement speed side-by-side before committing Hits. Use it with Gloves Tier List, Beginner Loadout Tier List, and Builds Hub loadouts.

What the comparator shows

Punch power

Knockback strength and ring-out potential. Higher power finishes wounded gloves near the edge and synergizes with Bomb Punch from Abilities Explained. Risks self-ring-outs without Double Jump mobility.

Movement speed

Traversal across the floating arena. Higher speed increases contacts per minute in Farm Hits and improves edge recovery before abilities unlock.

Combined outlook

Knockout players still need minimum speed — see Knockout Strategy.

  2. Select your current glove as baseline
  3. Select a target glove you consider buying

Example scenarios

Balanced Brawler vs Agile Tapper: Need more speed for full lobbies?

Iron Smasher vs Heavy Cannon Pro: Is power worth sluggishness for knockout finals?

Heavy Cannon Pro vs Swift Knuckle Mk II: Swap gloves per lobby type?

Punch power deep dive

Punch power affects how many hits you need before an opponent enters ring-out range. In practice, higher power means:

  • Shorter duels near the edge — good for knockout time limits
  • Stronger payoff when third-partying wounded gloves
  • Higher self-knockback risk if you punch while standing too close to the rim

When comparing two gloves with similar power but different speed, favor the faster one unless you exclusively play knockout finals.

Movement speed deep dive

Movement speed affects how many unique targets you touch per minute in Farm Hits routes. Higher speed means:

  • Reaching center brawls before kills are stolen
  • Escaping Bomb Punch blast radii more reliably
  • Easier chase after softening a runner — especially with Double Jump

When comparing two gloves with similar speed but different power, favor the punchier one if you already win positioning consistently.

Interactive tool usage notes

The comparator on this page is designed for quick decisions between two known unlocks. For three-way choices (speed vs balanced vs power), run two comparisons: current vs speed option, then current vs power option. Write down which delta matters more for your current goal — farming or knockout — before opening the in-game shop.

Does not account for player skill — practice Controls. Does not list scripts (Scripts Hub). Always verify in Roblox after patches.

When comparison saves the most Hits

The biggest savings come at branch points: choosing between speed and power for your second glove, or deciding whether Heavy Cannon Pro is worth the movement penalty before knockout season. Comparing two similarly priced gloves that both look “fine” on the tier list prevents spending 2,000 Hits twice. Document your comparison results in a note app if you grind across multiple days — memory drift causes inconsistent builds.
