What's the deal with takedowns after health events?

[Dave_S]

Sometimes it seems like forever until i can do one, like the first few attempts don't register.

Is there like a set period of time that you can't attempt TD?

You have to know the timing. Plus they should be damn near automatic., but they are not.

I don’t think as a whole takedowns need a buff, but there are situations where there should me more grapple advantage. Missed big strikes, lean back, missed combos or long combos etc

Leg health events is a big one for me. There is no denying that Takedown.

Wow, never even thought to take someone down after that. IRL and in game that would be a bad strategy. They are always in total defense mode leaving the head or leg open for another big shots (leading into another health event...which could be followed by a big shot to head or leg.

The last thing I am thinking of is to let them off the hook. You would never see a guy take someone down after bad leg damage irl MMA. If anything the guy getting hit would pull guard.

Takedowns seem so random, i can have a guy miss a kick by a mile and he will still stuff you but i see Bigcee coming at me with a single leg and ill never be able to block it lol
