The stun meter doesn't scale, but the thresholds for the health events do. Based on long term health.

It applies to body and legs as well. It was just implemented on the head first, I called it chin, then decided it makes sense for the others but the name stuck.

It has very different tuning for each region though.

For round kicks it's timing based, for front kicks it's automatic with low block, no timing necessary.

Yes, exactly. And cover the extra range to counter. Imagine playing right on the edge of kicking range to bait a wiff, you'd need a forward moving strike to punish.

Sounds really really good! It seems that it is easy to learn hard to master. On paper it sounds sooo good! Thanks!,,

Yes, that's correct.

How many hard combos exist in the game? I would imagine many fighters having the same ones. Probably going to learn them all. Not to use them, but to know what strike is coming next.

Now im trough all the text, im really happy what i red! Those are huge improvements and i think this game will show what today CPU can calculate because its a deep complex system. UFC 2 was a big improvement in the ground game and is solid imo. 10 years back games were also fantastic so it was sad to see there was not a big improvement in the calculation. The best thing here is that the muliplier of strikes is gone and the parrys also. Instead we have different recovery frames and thats fantastic!!!! Im loving it!
I was scared we will go arcadish but wroooong. GPD,again THANKS to all this stuff and you listened to the community and gave us something back.

I have such a huge smile on my face and wish all to you a happy thanks giving then GPD gave us some!

About combos, If i wanted to jab to the body then cross to the head, Jab the body then rear round kick to the head. Would a combo like that not be available without having it set? Or is using set combos just significantly better?

I don't know the exact number, but it's over 500.

A lot of the low level ones are obvious and you don't really need to learn them. Like a 1-2.

It's the 4 strike combos and combos involving kicks and spinning attacks that get very specific and not necessarily obvious.
