Watching UFC 218 as we speak. Nobody is throwing combos

This. Completely agree, I wish body punches did more stam damage too, kicks can be pretty good if you can catch their liver while they circle out.

I love leg kicks though, and am biased. So.. yeah.

They only do super damage if you catch somebody mid strike. Most people haven't realized that. If you're moving back or even away from the leg kick it won't do nearly as much damage. All the fast stoppages come from people trying to spam combos and getting caught with a leg kick.

Not to mention what we learned from GPD saying there is a current glitch in the beta with online fights where stun meter starts full at the start of the fight so the first big leg kick is almost a guarantee health event.

There's a known bug in the beta that only happens online. You may have seen it as a leg health event on the first kick of the round with barboza. The bug is that the stun meter starts every round full in online only. Usually that means if you land a big shot early you get a health event you normally wouldn't. But in this case, it's possible that enough damage was done long enough to keep the stun meter high until you got the big counter off the upper, which normally wouldn't do nearly as much, but with an already high stun meter it allowed a KO. The only reason I'm not confident in the explanation is because we dono't show the stun meter, so I can't really tell if the pressure was enough to keep it up long enough or not. Either way I'll check, and this bug is already fixed post beta, but only found because of the beta.

Agreeded. They do extra damage if your weaving, or walking forward too, any time your weights in the leg getting kicked kinda. I love it.

And yeah. When I'm fighting players who know what they're doing we both mix in leg kicks, but they're never what finishes the fight, just a useful tool.
And when I get spammed with leg kicks, well, who doesn't love TKOs of a check haha.

That actually explains a lot, I had a Barboza player fake a glove touch into a 1-2 leg kick, the kick hit me as I was backing away but I got a leg stun, thought it was weird.
Anyway, I immediately shot a TD, got stuffed into sprawl which was all I needed to drag him to half, then guard, then triangle, tap tap. I wouldn't have done that but I hate fake glove touchers, glove touch is sacred broooo.
