Remove hard combos

[Morgan Monkman]

Combos are the worst.

EAMMA never had combos and that was the best damage and striking system ever,so quit making the excuse we need them.

Why is Michael bisping a god at throwing 5 punch combos yet it takes machida the same amount of time to throw a jab followrd by a uppercut? Its incredibly slow and makes no sense.

You literally have to throw the predetermined strikes EA made up for you or else you will get koed mid punch by the guy throwing the hard combo.

What i always liled about the mma fighting games is that you were really able to make your own style of fighting.

Now that the game is restricted to hard combos you will get everyone throwing the same combos and x amount of strikes because everyone has already figured out how to break the block and ko people.

Its just like marvel vs capcom now, memerize a couple combos and you can juggle your opponent around and ko him.

We had TSC with the stick, it was amazing. people were able to spam hooks but they fixed it at the end of the game.

Im still on the fence about hard combos I can see the benefit because it allows the devs to make each fighter different but at the same time it feels like I'm button mashing at times to get my combos out

Exactly! Agree with this 100 %!

I like them, think they help differentiate each fighter

All in for keeping them

Just realised this video is probably what caused this reaction. The hard combos are definitely a good thing for fighter individuality. Again, they barely get used at the top level in ranked. They're not OP thus far. If you were talking about the way the mechanic is implemented then maybe I'd agree. I don't like having to input combos beforehand but I don't know if they had any other options.

You don't have to. I don't know where this myth came from.

Of course if you're talking about a combo that has a certain point of no return, then yeah you have to input it before say the leg starts coming back and you lose the momentum to spin through.

But there's nothing about the combo system that says you have to input the strikes ahead of time.

It just allows you to do that if you want to.
