Body punching animation needs a change

The animation for these punches is how should i put it... ugly.

Now i will say that i have seen people lunge forward similiar to what is now in the game while punching for the stomach but it was always off balance shots or they were tired or reaching.

Other than that, why does my whole entire body and head move down why i try to punch the stomach?

Why does the left hook to the gut on orthodox stance look like a uppercut?

i mean its just super awful and slow, no reason why i should be using my entire body to throw a punch when all i need is my arm, hips and leverage.

Jack slack put together a beautiful article about body shots with some nice gifs displaying what they should look like.

I'm somewhat shocked that no one else has had a problem with this until now. I've taken issue with the animations for body punches since the beginning.

Super awful and slow sums it up perfectly. It shouldn't require us leaning our entire body into the punch in a super odd way. 95% + of the body punches used in MMA will not look this awful and slow. I could post multiple videos showing this, but everyone should realize this without me having to post multiple videos.

Re: Body punching animation needs a change

Im only okay with changing it if they nerf forward moving strikes

Right now you move halfway across the cage with each strike

Re: Body punching animation needs a change

yeah i don't even throw body punches unless it's a straight.


the only good looking body punch is the stationary lead hook, and stationary uppercuts i guess, they look so ridiculous if you're moving.


i really wish i could mix in body punches in my combos like FNC but they're either ugly, or just way too awkward with the controls. CPU looks good when they go to the body, wish i could do it as easily as them.

Call me Eddie Bravo but I think it's deliberate so that it's much easier to uppercut someone if they try to go to the body so nobody can spam. Look into it.

Re: Body punching animation needs a change

the animations are awful for almost every strike. but body punches are the worst, by far.

I think it is deliberate as well. It brings "balance" in some way to prevent body spam, with uppercuts being the counter as you stated. But this is just ridiculous because it kills the body striking game completely. I have no reason to even try punching the body because it's so awful and slow.
