If someone is hugging high....attack their body to loosen up that high block! I have over 500 ranked fights in and I've never had a situation where high block was too strong. Maybe they could make the block weaken slightly quicker after taking strikes to the arms....but don't add a stamina decrease! And lastly, Haz, stamina matters a HELL of a lot in this game. If you don't realize that, you're not paying attention.....but I agree it should matter a bit more. Unfortunately if if make stamina realistic like it should be, all the casuals would stop playing

I disagree with everything you think.

I totally agree with what you are saying, but the turtling definitely makes you have to go to the body way too much. Most fighters don't start out their combos with body shots. They do, but not as much as we have to against these guys. The game already doesn't feel right with the striking.

The only person that should like high block the way it is.



To the people that think stamina matters, did you play the first game? Stamina seemed way more important in the first game. You were penalized for hugging block, which seemed appropriate.

Imo the way game is now encourages players to turtle high block, which is all kinds of wrong in my book. It's rewarded. The best way to get around high block is to look up video combinations and exploit hit stun and hit reactions, which is also wrong in my book. If these combos cause this reaction almost every time it's not like playing a game, but just inputting buttons.

Lol do you need me to post a video? Use practice mode more often dude.

And fish I agree partially. But hey, that's what body kicks are for

[chapmandachamp]

Erv is totally correct, all that is in the game. But it does need sum tuning. The penalty for having ur head 100% blocked it too small!

I agree with receiving increased arm damage, dont tinker with stamina, just make it where you cant hold block and defend all incoming strikes, increase arm damage received from head kicks (At full stamina) for example a jab blocked at full stamina wouldn't do as much arm damage. And so on, that way you have to think on your feet and decide what punches or kicks are worth "blocking" and which ones are worth "slipping" or using footwork to get away from.

I agree with this 100%!
