Non blocked strikes have no vulnerability damage

I didn't know that.

Yes it would be possible, but only for his sig kicks.

You can knock someone down with a 4 strike combo unblocked. I don't think base damage needs to go up. But there are sliders so you can try it out. I don't think base damage needs to go up.

You guys cant increase damage of single moves? like hooks ecc without touching the kicks as they already do a realistic amount of damage

Which is exactly how it works now.

Maybe an increase to that increase when stationary or clean shot. As in an online situation your never idle per say.

This would also be good if along the lifetime you add more animations/variations of standard roundhouse kicks. Thai has more power from the hip whereas as taewkon doe has more of a snap power. Would add depth to karate/taekwon doe fighters

In practice mode it takes more than 4-5 combo punches to do some knockdowns or knockouts i think it needs to be relooked

We could, but there's a hierarchy there. straight is more powerful than jab, hook is more powerful than straight. All tied to speed.

Starting to move individual strike types up in isolation messes with that hierarchy and throws the balance between strike types off.

You don't want an uppercut to be the same damage as a head kick.

Headkicks really are that powerful though, you rarely see anyone eat them without going down. A few glancing ones with the toes makes sense but any other contact is brutal.

then we can just rise only the punches damage in general without touching the kicks but needs to be balanced out becouse as i said mostly aganst the IA when he dont moves even a 5 hit combo dont causes a Ko or knockdown
