Re: I hate the parry so, so much

No it's not nerfed enough. A real nerf would be the counter windows size depending on the strike parried (ex.if you parry a jab you can only land a jab/straight of your own) and not allowing it to freeze the opponent. All this current parry system is, is a tool for noobs to fish for easy offense that rewards them big.

Real Talk.

Re: I hate the parry so, so much

Lol the jab is the most parried strike in all of combat sports. It's unsafe because players rarely throw just the jab. The strike que is leaving most people vulnerable

Not due to parries, but slips and counters. Parrying a jab should not give a free overhand. And like I said before it doesn't even matter what strike you throw, jab. straight, left hook, right hook, left upper, right upper, spinning backfists, elbows, wheel kicks. wheel kicks! It all gets parried by 1 button and gives you a free counter. It's way too easy to fish for

what's a parry?

what's a parry?

A parry is a defensive move where you swat away an attack by an opponent if you time it right. R2/RT + punch for high, kick for low

Not a huge fan of the parry-counter attacks in EA UFC, but this is a cool gif of my man Thomas Almeida parrying a front kick perfectly, and countering with a nasti combination.

Re: I hate the parry so, so much

I think it's just fine in human vs human. It's when I play the AI that it's INCREDIBLY frustrating. When I rock an opponent and have 4 consecutive strikes (different strikes, changing levels) parried while he's staggering backward... that's not so great.

Nice!

I hate the fact that it takes so long to put your hands up in this game.

Re: I hate the parry so, so much

Now players have found a strategy which makes the parry even more broken.
For anybody who says you need to mix it up, you can't anymore. Now it goes like this:

-People walk in the pocket and parry their head, so you can't throw head strikes.
-Immediately afterwards, they leg kick, so they trip you up if you try to throw leg/body kicks.

What are you left with? Body jabs? You can't even mix them up anymore

Re: I hate the parry so, so much

The parry is crap and has been since Fight Night Rd 3. A stun window should not exist, like War said...Its far to easy for people to fish for offense spamming parry.

Yep. At most it should be a viable way to stop the silly Tekken combos and regroup.

Re: I hate the parry so, so much

Here, another example.

Call me predictable, say that I don't mix it up enough etc. etc. I know I need to work on that.
But apparently parrying a jab now grants you a free headkick.
Let me repeat that: A jab parry now gives you a free, full power, unblockable headkick

The sitting on high block looks worse. Reminds me of Undisputed. Everyone just holding high block the whole time. Why they haven't punished people for this yet is beyond me. They had a stamina drain for sitting on block last game. This is the biggest issue right now, and I've been harping about it since the beta. Anyone who thinks I change things, is sadly mistaken. I've been complaining about this since the beta.
