Re: FN: Champion Blog #3 - Community Questions

Thanks for the answers, phobia.

I know there are flash ko's but can we win a fight by progressivly wearing down our opponent say, in like 8 rounds of work, and then just knock him down once to end it? In the past it took so many knockdowns.

How much did you feel the graphics\lighting improved?

Can we take out all the arcade presentation features like the shaking camera and flashes?

Was body movement different for each boxer like i don't wanna see a 265 heavyweight moving like a lightweight or featherweight would.

Re: FN: Champion Blog #3 - Community Questions

Wow, big props for staying on top of all those ?s



As for the FNC....Im upset that there aren't any Stationary cams.....its going to be hard to replicate much of what we see on HBO/espn/showtime without one

I must have posted the Broadcast VB cam a million times on EAs boards......for nothing I guess


As far as gameplay goes......theres another bummer, with the no Fight in the Clinch Mechanics.............How are bigger guys supposed to use their size and drive their opponents into the ropes

Right now, Im going to have to agree with the growing sentiment that "FNC is what FNR4 should have been".......How I ultimately view the game in the grand scheme of things will probably come down to.......

How good the CAB creator/editing/tools are....

Re: FN: Champion Blog #3 - Community Questions

You can now push your opponent just by walking into them. Use to in FN4 holding the left stick towards a opponent was just a invisible wall. In FNC you can now use your body weight to push a opponent back by holding the left stick towards them.

Any improvements made to cab/gamerface?

Apart from floyd, any other big omissions? How is the roster shaping up?

Did most fighters get new or improved faces? Last year Chavez looked really bad.

Re: FN: Champion Blog #3 - Community Questions

I always wanted to throw a hard, snapping 1-2 punch(think David Haye or Tommy Hearns), but in Round 4 it looked slow and weak and didn't do serious damage. With the new individual punch levelling and power modifiers, is this now possible?

Can't answer the roster question and can't answer the gamerface because I have no way of knowing.

Yes you will be able to with no problem.

Re: FN: Champion Blog #3 - Community Questions

- Good question on the quick 1-2 punch. Are combos and flurries possible?
- How do punches sound, do they sound like they have gloves on? Are they realistic wiffs or still arcade booms?
- Are there delayed reaction knockdowns from a stunned state?
- Are there a lot more variety of branched animations for knockdowns from a better physics standpoint?
- Meldrick Taylor, Joe Louis, Riddick Bowe or Larry Holmes on the roster?

Re: FN: Champion Blog #3 - Community Questions

Do counter punches exist even without dodging a punch? What I mean is that say both fighters happen to throw a punch at the same time. If fighter A started his slightly earlier therefore landing clean will it register with the same strength as a counter punch in which you dodge and then counter. In reality lots of knockouts occur in that situation so I'm wondering if that's represented in the game.

there is a screenshot of Chavez floating around the internet, looks pretty similar to FNR4

Re: FN: Champion Blog #3 - Community Questions

What sets a one-punch KO apart from any other counter or punch? Is it all skill? When you get one do you feel like "wow what a perfect shot!" or "oh. i guess i win then..."

Phobia can obviously answer this better than I can, but I thought he mentioned how a one-punch KO can happen when you land a strong punch clean on the chin.
With the new accuracy system and different ratings between punches, it sounds a lot more realistic. So just like in real boxing, if you land that one clean shot and it's one of the fighters strong punch, you have a better chance of a one-punch KO.
