If so you're going to lose a ton of fights that you were dominating all because your opponent got a BS rock on you. The most common result in the UFC is the unanimous decision. People tend to survive. I see no problem with high block.

You cant just block strikes by holding your arms up, it's not realistic and it's OP in this game. You say mix it up, but once you land 4 strikes on his unblocked stomach you are now gassed and he has recovered from the head rock. Gets you no closer to ko.

If you can't use head movement and dashes to get away and rely solely on high block, you will be the one with problems once they fix it

I don't rely on high block; I use everything.

But, again, to each their own. I stand by what I said before. If EA listens to you guys and we get finished 90% of the time we get rocked I'm certain a lot of you guys will change your tune about the high block.

Most people i see complaining about high block don't rely on it.

I'm sure a ton of people would complain, but they can learn an adapt. They might survive getting rocked turtling high block if they didn't absorb so many strikes on the forearms in the first place.

The rocks were frequently death rocks in the first game, I was actually fine with that once you get used to it.

1) Parries are hard enough now.
- it cancel your block
- it require hard timing
- parry window is 10-30 frames depends on your Stamina advantage (SA)
- you can not to spam Parries (only when you have nearly 100% SA)
- Parry is your the only save tool when you have low stamina (so can not sway or dodge effectively) and broken Block, BUT in this conditions Parry window is terribly tight and hard (=skill!) to success.
Parries are excellent now!

2) Block is penetrable.
More damaged limbs - less effective block.
To break the block you need to deal more damage on ONE selected limb - plan your combos so that your last cumulative strike landed on opponent's most damaged hand (yr left strike to his right limb and vice versa). 2 combo multiplied strike to the same side - block will be broken.
Mix up - strike his body. He cannot to switch his block immediately b/c of delay in 10 frames.
The Offensive side step in New striking thread will solve this problem even more in UFC 3.
High block is normal now i think.

This is exactly what I'm talking about. Some people have this down to a science.

High block is fine.

Parries are not hard at all, still super easy and its literally all guys do is sit on high block and parry a jab to counter you with a sig strike, yawn.

[Webbington]

We all have to deal with that, and to be quite honest it's really not that difficult.

Many people dont understand how block is working in this game so they complain about it.
I will make a video now and post it here
