Ugly Knock Outs - Give me your worst examples

I feel like for a better ragdoll system overall, most of the 'looseness' to the ragdoll should be on the head and neck, while the body still has weight to it, so a big hook would snap (well, twist) the fighters head to the side but everything below the head would be more stiff and weighty.

Thats a perfect way to do it

I loved the UFC 2 ragdoll. It felt silly on all knockdowns sure, but for knockouts there was nothing better, it wasn't perfect but it was miles better than FNC's and UFC 1's static preset animations.

I really wish the beta had kept the ragdoll KO's.
I know there were over the top ones, but the majority were amazing. I saved atleast 20gb of ps4 capture footage of realistic KO's.

That said, with the UFC 3 KO's I often notice a noticeable reset, KO registration after the stroke that's blatantly obvious in the replays. It really detracts from the replay, several of the videos posted here show it.

This is another great example. It's like the rigid animation kicks in way too aggressively, and it kills all the momentum.

Compare that with this UFC 2 knockout. The character gets caught mid punch and goes limp, and falls forward like you would expect. This all appears to be dictated by the ragdoll physics engine, allowing it to play out more organically.

Never said it was perfect but it’s much more realistic. Ragdoll system with some weight is the perfect solution. I agree that sometimes it felt like they are weightless but they are knocked out they should feel like that. They should feel like as joe rogan says “Astral travelling”.

Say what you want about UFC 2's striking as it is miles behind UFC 3 and FNC, but I play that game still because the KO's are the best imo! I put FNC down well before all the patches, because all the KO's were just underwhelming. Even going back to it a couple months ago, the KO's are meh, even with the good gameplay. Feel like I've seen every KO animation in UFC 3 already and I haven't even played that much. They're already getting stale. Nothing new from any stream or vid that's making me want to try and up the KO anti! As awesome as the new stand up is, KO's are way behind UFC 2... and those are still awesome almost 2 years later

This one looks better than the beta's worst one but it looks still weightless even if slow motion.

That wasn't even a great example. UFC 2 ragdoll wasn't perfect, but the knockouts felt organic and UNIQUE each time! Some minor tuning and it could be perfect! Unique knockouts really enhance the replay value, especially with the incredible striking system in UFC 3.

I started paying closer attention to it after seeing this thread, and what I see is the guy getting KO'd doesn't seem to react right to it. If you watch the follow through of the strike, their body doesn't match it. It's a momentum thing. They just don't seem animated well to match the kind of knockout you're landing.
