Tips For Taking Guys Down Without The Clinch?

[Dmitri020]

I know your struggle. They should patch the fact that your opponent can still easily block a takedown after just completely missing (whether by distance or evade) a head kick. Bones can still do the scissor kick to the head, you lean back with DC, he misses, you immediately shoot for a double leg and he's still able to block it. Thats just bs.

I've taught you well.

It's all about GA, which sucks. Like some have already stated, head movement helps your cause alot. Leaning back to forward and then shooting is probably the most effective. And even then sometimes its like you still can't get the guy down. I feel like a well timed td off certain strikes (like high kicks, spinning strikes, ect) should pretty much result in an auto td. I've dodged head kicks perfectly and shot in right away while the guys leg is still in the air and he's still able to defend.

You also gain GA After having unbalanced the opponent by a successful combo. That is what i used to do but sometimes and i did not understand very well why, despite the GA, i was sprawled somehow.

To go along with what dimitri and war have said, the lack of ga gained from body kicks is absolutely wild. So hard to punish for throwing body kicks in this game. Honestly it is in real life too but its just silly in this game lol you can throw kicks while your far too close to your opponent. I miss in undisputed when only certain strikes were available while you were in a certain range. So if you go to throw a kick while right next to someone it would become a knee to the body

You and HereticGabriel on one hand and legions of very, very angry players who think this game is kickboxing in a cage on the other hand

Crazy thing is Banana is I don't think I ever lean forward, I lean back, avoid the strike then instantly shoot and my meter fills near instantly aha, I wonder how it'd be if I actually leaned forward or if I could get myself to..

That's weird, because when I shoot from leaning backwards the instant after I've evaded a kick the meter fills just as slowly as if I've done a random naked TD
