Dude I have so much fun with Gaethje that I put him in every Event Mode.
Just trying to time the block to the side and counter of it feels so good.
I stand still and go full muay thai with Gaethje vs Pro AI.
Got smashed by Diego Sanchez but damn was it fun.
I agree on the in / out movement needing a speed boost and cancel function.
Atm, the large lunge back into magnetic counter is rapid as heck when it should be the small lunge back then back into range counter that should be quick.
The large lunge is a full commital in that direction and should be more of a retreat whereas the small lunge is a risky little cheeky buttmove where you're trying to see if you can quickly pop in and out of range.
At the moment it kinda feels the other way around and executing a small lunge successfully feels pointless as it is so difficult to do vs the opponents magnets.
Whereas the large lunge has the magnetism in built if you get them to whiff or even just start throwing a strike so it is much more reliable and rewarding.
Unfortunately though it's more an exploit / cheat function than anything.
