Is this combo considered cheese?

[Shogun474]

Cross > Lead body kick > Rear Uppercut head > Lead Head Kick

My favorite combo (used sparingly usually later in the fight when i have stam advantage)


I frequently receive rage messages when i finish dudes with this.


Do you guys consider this cheese? Each strike can easily be blocked by anyone half decent and interrupt the multiplyer.


Thoughts?

Nah because it's not unblockable. If you block ONE of the strikes, it renders it pretty much useless so... Their bad for getting caught, init.

It is and it isnt. It is because that was a commonly used hit reaction combo before they patched the block in, and its also pretty much a guaranteed knockdown if landed.

But, like posted above, it can be blocked.

I woukdnt consider it cheese, but after the uppercut is amplified by the previous strikes, the headkick can be unblockable. Leg and body hit stuns were patched.Head hit stuns were not.

Only if you keep doing it again and again.

As long as you're mixing it up, I'd say it's all good.

If you keep doing it again and again, that's to your detriment.

It's almost the way you have to play the game unfortunately. I hate to keep bring EA MMA up lol, but the combo speed ratings worked great and should have been in this game. That, with the ability to truly perform timely one-punch KOs balanced things out a bit.

Re: Is this combo considered cheese?

I use the same exact combo with the only difference being I start with a jab or double jab ( being an ex boxer all my combos that start with a punch start with a jab) and can't see how it could possibly be called cheese. The vast majority of successful combos are going to be a set of moves that flow -left- right- left-ect or the opposite direction coming from right- left -right-ect.


For the OP if a move set is successful for a player I have no complaints with what anyone does or uses. I still feel the clinch mechanics of the game have to be fixed to a degree (possibly a longer window to counter a denial) as I still get caught by a knee at times but in the long run the players that don't adapt will become one trick ponies or they are already and when their favorite move gets diminished they are going to have a lot of problems.With the original combo that was mentioned or the 5 main ones I use that are pretty lengthy most of the time during a fight I will start to shorten them and only use 2-3 moves out of it and found this to have a high success rate.
