I agree but not only the level. They are weak if you compare it to a jab or straight. They need to increase the damage (power) for landing hooks like they did for GnP.

If you compare the power of strikes on the ground and the stand up its very unbalanced. The stand up is too weak.

they really need some sort of 'lunging hook' so you can gain some ground while going for the strike. Right now one of the only ways to gain ground with a punch = body punches...which is...not very realistic lol

I want that Joe Frazier Leaping Left Hook (I know that's boxing, but hopefully you know what I mean...there are short, tight, powerful hooks for in the pocket; but there are also hooks that are meant to find a little range at the same time)

I always try to Dash foward when I hook or throw anything but it does not work to well and ppl always counter with rapid punches to the body.

You should be able to lunge with any left handed strike, since you need to take the weight off the foot to pivot. Instead of pivoting, you can step forward and cover distance while throwing the hook.

One observation that isn't new to the patch but I didn't know what thread it'd fit in better and I didn't think it was worthy of its own.

As someone who has played quite a bit of online and a good bit of offline it's striking how different the AI handles the ground game as opposed to a human opponent. The AI isn't necessarily worse; it focuses on denying transitions and slowly getting into a good position and striking to build GA. Him opponents tend to attempt transitions far more often and you end up with way more 'transition races' as you try to compete yours before they can complete theirs. I think the AI 'knows' (which a human thinking fast enough could, in theory, figure out) when a transition is hopeless compared to what you are doing and either goes for the block or doesn't do anything.

Again, not saying one is worse than the other or harder to play against, it's just very noticeable how different they are.

I know there's some ppl who hate this idea, but just make the AI on pro so hard and almost impossible to beat. I know, I know... but I rather have it dead hard, then to have nothing but easy wins for every fight.

If I want to win easy I play on easy. Give the pro difficulty some meat and make the AI just dead tough and I know I will be playing more and trying to beat a OP computer AI then to just watch it not get played by me right now.

Just my thoughts ppl...

[SwedishTouch76]

Agreed. If you play Mlb the Show on Legend difficulty ( the hardest) it's insanely unforgiving. How it should be....

I think thats what Skynet is going to eventually do. Some of the changes in the next patch should get it close to that.

I was telling him that what I think what people want is the diffculty of pro in UFC 1 without the constant parrying. If the AI uses its defensive high block more, I think it will be pretty tough.
