I've been running into this kind of playstyle a lot, so have other players like Swiss-Libax, Preunited, PxHxAxRxR, Uni-Bot04 etc, and this is probably one of the most annoyingly interesting new styles that have shown up since the new patch/season dropped.
Fought two dudes. One was a Mirror Woodley match, I started recording immediately when I saw he was doing this corny stamina draining circle movement bs, then planting his feet and throwing the jab uppercut hook. I would throw just one strike, but by him moving in a circle my shots would drain even more stamina, pretty much forcing me to play that similar style ((and doing a terrible job at that). I ended up losing in the 5th round, being nearly equally gassed as him despite throwing less strikes, and not getting a single head rock aside from a liver rock, despite catching him plenty while he was blocking either his body or even swaying.
More or less the same story with the second dude, except I was better equipped to handle it this time with some feints, mocked him by doing it back, and eventually knocked him out in the third while he was leaning.
I'm not a fan of how double swaying one strike apparently makes it drain more stamina, and on top of that, when you try to target the body, it's either shielded because they're leaning in that direction by the time you try to strike back, and once the opponent sees you're trying to hit their body as they move their head in a circle, they'll blast an uppercut hook and it's a guaranteed auto rock every time.
I'm sure other players have come across this playstyle as well. I'd propose that leg strikes do extra damage if somebody is just bobbing their head for nothing. Or not being able to check them while moving like that. Something to deal with this.
