Are there any plans to fix these issues?

1. Ground and pound inputs being absolutely terrible both in attacking and defending. Extra punches come out when you’re not throwing them and head movement just flat out doesn’t work at times.

2. Being able to get up from guard and dive down again over and over is STILL not fixed.

3. Strikes after using head movement not registering. Seems to happen more when letting go of block to slip.

4. Strike tracking still being ridiculously off. Hooks, spinning backfists etc connecting when ducked and kicks missing when they should clearly connect.

1. There is a queue. So any extra strikes are because you queued them with more than one input. I'm not a fan of it because I will tend to mash a bit on impulse, but that's the way it is.

2. Up kick if they dive back down right away. If they wait to avoid the upkick, then stand up.

3. I would imagine that your block input is still lingering. Best you can do is clean up the input to guarantee that RT is completely out of the mix.

4. Absolutely. Agree completely.

The problem with the ground and pound is you don’t mash the buttons then it comes out so slow and you might get only 2 punches in before the opponent grabs you down again so you’re kinda forced to mash.

Regarding upkicks, I tried it. If I’m knocked down I can usually do it but there’s an exploit that people do from full guard postured up where they keep getting up then doing the dive back into guard again. Mashing the upkick doesn’t work.

With the counters, it’s hard to do it in real time against a live opponent, even more so against someone who is good and you don’t get many openings to pull it off. Also even against lower skilled opponents who are more predictable it’s still not 100% reliable. I’ve tried in practice mode to eliminate the factor of online delay and it still happens.

The ground and pound queue is definitely frustrating. You kind of have to do a calculated mash. Kind of like combos. I'm not a fan.

The stand up dive thing is not an exploit. I know exactly what you're talking about and you can avoid it easily once you get the hang of it. Every once in awhile some goof ball will try to cycle this on me but no way someone pulls this off on me repeatedly.

I believe you on your last point. I don't utilize blocking head movement much, so I might be less prone to have it happen. I have heard top guys also mention exactly what you are describing.

I had 1 player do the stand up dive thing and they were able to keep doing it before I could even get the upkick to come out so I wasn’t even getting the time to be able to stand up. Maybe I’m missing something with it.

The head movement when defending ground and pound seems bugged as well. Sometimes you just can’t move and there are times where it’ll just zap your stamina while you’re stuck as well because you’ve tried to move. It’s very, very unresponsive.

Inputs in general just feel way off. Like there’s either a delay or other inputs linger and cause the next one to be messed up.

The pull counter not coming out is definitely you not releasing block fast enough. I struggled with it at first too. Just have to be very deliberate in letting go of R2 before touching the right stick. I had such a hard time I didn’t even try the pull uppercut and just used the pull elbow (which comes out when block is held), but the range is really bad so the uppercut is almost always the better choice.

Yeah I was doing the same thing with the elbow but it obviously falls flat with the range or if the fighter doesn’t even have an elbow. I’ve found that I basically need to commit to the counter more to predict what’s coming and let go early rather than holding block and trying to react as I see it.

Hi

1) We wanted to allow the player to queue inputs for the responses to be as quick as possible on the ground. We spent a lot of time going back and forth regarding the appropriate length for the queue. However if you need to cancel your queued up strikes you can do so by pulling the right trigger just like in standup.

2) This has been mentioned by other commenters. If your opponent is diving in they should be stopped by an up kick. I will have our folks take a look at the possible exploit on a getup from full guard postured.

3) As someone mentioned this is likely the strike being input while the block input is still lingering.

4) We have removed randomness from our game in order to give our players as much control as possible, however this means that when a strike is thrown there comes a point where we decide whether a strike will land or not. Usually this works out well but sometimes it means a punch tracks in a weird way or a kick that looks like it should land doesn't.

TLDR Block input clears ground and pound strike queue is the only really useful thing the dev wrote in his post.
