Duck and Uppercut bro

[Haz____]

Can we stop telling everyone the solution for any and every problem they have is "Just duck, and Uppercut bro. I've KO'd 10 Diaz spammers today already". There's all sorts of reason why this isn't always going to work. From combo speed being too fast, to stamina having no effect on anything, to headmovement lacking fluidity, to movement in general lacking fluidity, to strikes interrupting your head movement, to sometimes it just not actually doing any damage...



First of all, trying to slip n counter this spam is not hard, so much as it is just incredibly annoying...I land 2 back to counter duck uppercuts on this guy and it doesn't do anything. lol



I get him in the 2nd finally.

The point is to illustrate it's not as easy as "just duck and uppercut bro" for a solution to everything.

That first video though. I know exactly how it feels to be in that situation and it's incredibly annoying. You will likely get the KO eventually but not after some really awful/boring striking exchanges where you get tagged by 1-2s that are an inch away from your face. It really kills immersion and I don't really care about winning at that point because it feels so silly.

As someone whose favorite combination has always been 1-2 and didn't like how it was always so weak in MMA games, it's ridiculous in this game LOL. Like both of you mentioned, you will eventually KO him but the amount of success you can get by spamming 2-1-2 and 1-2-1-2 is ridiculous

1-2-1-2 is a ridiculous combination. I've never seen that utilized in MMA and before someone mentions Holloway-Aldo 1, Holloway paused after the first 1-2. There's no pause in the 1-2-1-2 in this game, it's a machine gun

Yeah, I feel that. I really wish 1-2's were only effective at the range their actually effective at. Guys with long reach throwing 1-2's at elbow/clinch range looks.. silly, yet they do almost full damage, intercept strikes and can Still be chained surprisingly quick.
And at that range, most times you try to duck n uppercut, you get intercepted by a kitten jab at cancels it out. So I definitely agree that while you can counter it, its still far too effective. Especially at ranges where it shouldn't be.

I have a problem with the fact that you can duck and land clean uppercut counters that seem to take forever to do damage - but the minute your opponent stops spamming and throws one uppercut you're instarocked.

The risk should be similar for both sides.

Would cut down on people just mindlessly spamming.

A 1, 2 at a very close range should not intercept my power shots. Simple as that. If we are face to face and i throw a hook, and my opponent throws a 1,2....i should be able to eat those punches for breakfast while i blast him in the face. Only a 1,2 that catches me at the end of the punch should be hurting me. Not thise small ugly looking punches.

Vulnerability, bruh... and Fighter Stats, too.

Ya I havent noticed any real lack of power when you’re literally in someones face to the point you could kiss them, but they throw a 1-2 not even extending their arm halfway and it’ll rock you. I thought fighting on the inside vs a long fighter wa suppose to have benefits
