The issue was that you couldn't block during any level 4 or 5 hit reaction, be it to the head, body or legs.

However, based on testing, all level 4 and 5 hit reaction animations, plus 90% of the body hit reaction animations take you out of range for a head kick, and all other power strikes.

The exception was the leg hit reactions and one body one when combined with a couple of different strikes.

So to avoid any more magic combos being discovered, we fixed it for everything to the body and legs.

In 99% of the cases, strikes to the head that cause hit reactions will be completely unchanged post patch.

In 90% of the cases, hit reactions to the body will be unchanged post patch.

In 50% of the cases, leg hit reactions will be unchanged.

This is a very targeted fix, with an eye for preventing further problems when we're done patching.

The increased arm damage while holding high block will only make KOs on the feet more likely.

I think you're overreacting.

We won't know for sure the impact of this change until it goes live, but the sky is falling reaction based on the info we have now is a little overboard.

GPD what is that something fun you added in the patch that you said don't guess because I won't figure it out. Is it the 20% blocking stuff or something else that you still have to post.

Something else.

Taking the magic combo out only does good things for the game.

I wonder if gamechangers test these patches

[HereticGabriel]

Ya I'm curious to see how the so called 'top' players do that constantly spam these combos now that there isn't a free unblockable hit

[stephengreen]

They'll probably do fine, but we'll see a lot less finishes.

Geoff, you're truly awesome.

I think that if you and your crew were solely in charge of making this game it would be the best MMA game ever.
