It doesn't help to tap block against body as much as head shots. This issue is the same that was in FNC. Combinations don't fatigue a guy as much as they should. It's like they reward you for throwing them by not taking away stamina. I fought a guy that threw over 400 punches in an online match and I could do anything to him.

For whatever reason ('m assuming they want the fights to be action packed), they let you get away with throwing strikes and penalize you for trying to block them.

some gripes.

- unresponsive controls: i have to half circle like 1million times to do a transition its annoying
- striking has been put in the pooper this patch
-judges are tards: i outstrike each round and have multiple takedowns i shouldnt lose

The problem I have been having lately is that the CPU (offline, obviously) rarely gets knocked down or stunned. I will hit my opponent with precise, hard shots (with full stamina), repeatedly, yet he seems to go unfazed. I will then take a couple hard shots and get knocked to the ground. Its very frustrating. I am usually able to still get the win because my submission game is pretty good but still.... The amount of hard, clean, signature shots I hit...... It shouldn't take that long for the damage to set in.

Well I'm just about done. Hopefully a patch pops up soon. The hook spam can be dealt with by tapping block but isn't nearly effective when they're spamming the hook to the body. Seems like the spammers have figured this out. I can probably live with it though.

However, the further I progress online the more I'm seeing the clinch exploit. You simply can't defend this and the better guys who exploit this don't just clinch and end the fight. They like to act like they're not exploiting this...I guess they don't want to be called out, but its obvious when you go for the clinch, rip a few knees and deliberately disengage only to do it again.

We do have a fix for the clinch exploit coming in the next patch.

Does anyone have any idea whats causing the unresponsive controls, i'm not just talking about transitions but block aswell, happened a few times last night, stamina was fine so i know it wasn't that. My wee guy just let the other fella GNP him

There is a bug where if the bottom guy sweeps the top guy while in tower/floor position while the standing fighter is kicking, all hell breaks loose and any number of bugs can occur for as long as the fight remains on the ground.

Loss of control is one of them.

If you stand up, the bug clears itself out.

We'll have a fix for this in the next patch.

Apparently the bug was in there from the beginning, but some other bug fix we made apparently made the situation a lot more likely to happen because everyone is running into it all of a sudden.
