Re: 1/2 to the body spam

Punches shouldnt stop TDs that's a fact

I can understand complaints regarding that

NO 1-2 should stop a takedown!!!

Re: 1/2 to the body spam

Ok what I'm trying to tell you is that the tactic you're describing works against lower level opponents , even some higher level opponents.
But it will not work against someone who doesn't kick and sticks to a very formulated 1-2 combo over and over.

I can avoid 3 strikes through using side steps and then go for a clinch and they will still be able to block it , someone can throw a punch at me while I'm going for a takedown and still be able to block it ....


Here was a clip i posted recently where i set up a takedown

https://streamable.com/4whs

here opponent misses
opponent gets parried
opponent throws another strike while my head is at their ****ing hip but they still manage to get it into sprawl position.

My take down was also maxed while his TDD was 81.
"You went for a slam takedown"
Yes I did , because it was set up perfectly .... an evaded strike , a parried strike and a strike being thrown while I was mid takedown. If there is ever a time to slam takedown it's that .


Like I don't have any videos showing the side step --> clinch denials but if i meet those opponents I'll get them. Because it generally a broken system. The strikers are given far too much lee way in denying clinches/take downs

I agree that the clinch and td's are very easy to stop. This roots back to the opening weeks when everyone was crying about the clinch and takedowns. Well, the debs listened, and here we are.

But that doesn't mean that body spamming 1 2s is a sufficient tactic, because it isnt.

Any well timed uppercut should definitely stop a td.

A jab to the body, should not.

Yup you read my mine, This is how it should be.

That gif is the Nog user fault. You have to stay on the outside against Tyson

Plus overhands/ hooks beat out straight punches on the same side.

No, not when you're hit stunned to the body and can't even block let alone move.

When will users start blaming themselves rather than the game? At what point will people stop looking for excuses for losing, like this game mechanic is broken or that game mechanic is broken, and just accept that they are not as good as their opponent at certain aspects of the game.

We went through this with the clinch before, and now this.

It's not about accepting the loss (read the OP) I clearly state there I had opportunities. This post is about the 1/2 to the body cheese. In that GIF I'm hit stunned, cannot block aside from the first jab landing and am completely frozen at that point - can't move, can't block, can't lean, can't punch.

Re: 1/2 to the body spam

In real life no MMA fighter would be dumb enough to stand within boxing range of Tyson.

I do believe that the 1-2 stopping TDs is ridiculous tho and a large part of the problem

Rear hand straights also need to eat up more stamina

Fighter selection isn't the point. You can do this with any fighter.

Re: 1/2 to the body spam

Right....if you watch that gif, FTD is still blocking his head even after Tyson hits him with 76 body punches in a row.

I blocked my head for the first punch and then was hit stunned for the remaining 14. Obviously I know to change my block up.

I said the same thing as you Find the door, it won't matter people have there mind made up.

If it makes you feel any better I agree with everything and I only play ranked matches like you so I know the truth about it.

Re: 1/2 to the body spam

I think removing the speed from strike levels would help with this. You already have a punching speed. Why would you add speed to the strike levels? This really looks goofy in UT. The speed should just be tied to your fighters strike speed. Let the levels increase damage able to be given with the strike.

Not to mention the ridiculous lunging. The fact that a 1/2 to the body stops you from uppercutting their head off, or a hook to their temple.

how about a Brian Ortega against Conor? is that good enough because I did it to someone last night, I spammed the 1-2 to the body over and over before he spun or tried to move foward, then everytime he would get a hit stun and I would see him just freeze, then the flash KO head kick. lol


oh and btw its div. 6 rank #23 ps4, and it always happens to me, Owell, it is,what it is.

Re: 1/2 to the body spam

We get it. Some of you are very good at the game and never lose. But for the people who don't play all day...the spamming just isn't fun and ruins the game somewhat.


The other 95% of players who are just normal players and are getting spammed to death...it isn't fun.

Re: 1/2 to the body spam

To be honest it's pure insanity. Stepping into the online world should be pleasant; its current state fills one with remose. What is needed is a comprehensive overhaul. Bring back EA MMA. The system was more suited to fighting. By fixing combos, we are on the right path. Looking forward to the next patch, which should bring huge changes to striking

To be clear I am a top player (as are several posters in this thread) and even we are saying this must be fixed.
