But with in EA UFC 2, you can be safe if you hit the guy first either with something powerful enough, or hit him soon enough (with high strikes).

Sweet! Thanks for the info. Do you know if the stamina for the strike is also deducted?

I'm assuming this change was made in order to encourage using slips in other directions, which would be perfectly fine things like ducking and slipping to the side didn't get you hit by strikes it shouldn't. What made swaying back so effective was that it ACTUALLY WORKED. The other slip directions don't always slip the shots they're designed to slip. Also, it used to be if you were taking body shots you can just uppercut your opponent and punish them for leaning in on you, but because now you deal reduced damage if a strike is landed on you prior to throwing within a short window, uppercuts are much less effective at stopping body spam. I'm not sure how this can be fixed.

Well said bro, Very well said...

The head sway was a huge part of my game before patch, and now after patch I don't use it that much unless someone is just throwing bombs.

It needs to get a buff back to make it worth using again.

yeah problem with this game is, that it wont allow u counterstriking, because if u attempt to do that u will be already in some mini stun from jabs and straights

A combo takes more skill to pull of than a 'single well timed strike'.

I don't see the problem with the combo modifier. If you take 4 strikes in a row without blocking you deserve to be at least rocked.

Those hating on the sway clearly have no idea what they're talking about. They did a good thing nerfing back sway( just need to make it so body shots dont miss because of it). It actually takes skill to time your sways now instead of the scrubby leaning back to everything

Sorry but I disagree. If you are coming into the (competitive) online world, it shouldn't be pleasant, it should be an insane ride, grit your teeth, fight to the death, etc --- only pleasant after you win.

Also throw on top crazy Hi/low combos all game with success and you have a head sway that needs a buff now with all these body combos ppl are doing. (There was no need to nerf the head sway before patch)

IMO -- there was no need to increase the damage to body during a sway. What they NEED to do is fix the hit detection to the body during a sway (and other times too, but sway in particular).

Soooooo many body shots to someone who is swaying 'connect' in the animation, but register as a miss --- if they could fix that, there would be no need to increase damage to sway.

I felt the damage buff was the easy way out compared to trying to fix the hit detection physics.............
