I can see that as a possibility. It would make more sense to do it that way. The perk system has been modified every game so far. So I'm interested to see how some of them work now, and if any were removed or added to the list.

Im also hoping that it was a bad angle or something myself because it just really looked weird but hope to see how it comes along. Thanks for the reply.

Hearing Martial be pleased about parries being dropped brought a smile to my face. That's what I'm talking about lol. Nice video, I'm so excited that I can finally stop playing UFC 2 soon.

I don't know if it's been mentioned anywhere, but can you tell us if the back dash has been tweaked any? I'd really like that to look a lot better. That being said, being able to sprint a bit to close distance will be huge.

Parries happen all that time. Don't believe me, watch fs1 tonight.

That said, they gone. You know what they say about spilled milk. Only get 10 seconds.

Yeah having parries wasn't the problem itself, it was it's way too long counter window it gave you when getting one, and the high low making the parries happen way too often. I'd be down to see them again if it's counter window makes sense depending on the strike being parried, and it being a 4 way parry instead of simply high/low would make it so it happens less since you'd have to focus on it's timing and which button to press.

For exemple: Right hook being thrown to your head? R1+Square (since it comes your left)
Left hook to the head?: R1+Triangle (comes to your right)

To the body would be with R2 instead. And with kicks it would be the X and circle.

I've been asking for that for a while now.

can u confirm 60 fps

I definitely wouldn't have had a problem with parries as long as they were JUST another way to avoid strikes instead of allowing a counter window. It would still be useful so you can avoid over using the block which can wear down and weaken. I think any MMA game needs a plethora of defensive measures, and it seems like this game may need all the defense you can find since the damage would be more realistic.

Here's some backdash talk.

Everyone expects that lunge once you throw out of range, but the back dash kills that lunge... almost like it tricks the game into believing you're throwing from a much closer range, so the strike falls extremely short. If the back dash didn't kill the lunge, BUT still made the strike miss, I believe people wouldn't have had an issue with it because at least the distance of your strike is not being ruined. The distance you cover when you back dash is also quite a bit exaggerated and the animation is horrendous. The fighter just drags his feet and slides across the cage.... Personally, i'd rather deal with that than parries and double head kicks, but that's why the back dash could be really annoying and cheesy. I don't suspect this will be the case for UFC3. Back dashing will still be an effective defensive tool, but it'll require more skill now and it's ALOT more realistic.

I wouldn't even throw a strike until they hit the cage or they try and circle out, in which case hit them with a strike from the side they're circling to, which will stop them dead in their tracks. But then circling out doesn't really count as spamming backdash, so yeah just march them down until they have nowhere to go.
