Re: New Patch Spoilers

Exactly. I haven't studied that stuff on this forum. I'm one of those people. Just wanna say take what people here say with a grain of salt on the matter. Of course they want to know what others don't.

That's what practice mode, career, offline is for

You start putting gauges in quick match you'll see people quickly look for ways to exploit.

Then everyone will be complaining. You heard it here first.

Re: New Patch Spoilers

Use movement?

Fair call but I meant relative to engaging in striking exchanges not relative to the game as a whole. At level 6 and above you already have most fighters doing that constant in and out motion for 5 rounds just fishing for a counter. I know this is a real life strategy eg Condit vs Diaz but it makes the game quite boring when most people at level 6 just play for a decision because of how dangerous the striking already is with high and low block separated. Perfect example of this is Martial Mind used to complain when fighters would back up and use movement in EA UFC 1 because he always pressed forward. Now because the blocks have been separated and striking is more dangerous he almost exclusively uses movement and counters for a decision which illustrates striking is dangerous enough in its current form.

By making high block weaker you are going to make people engage less not more. I see this being a good thing for the lower levels in ranked but at the higher levels it's just going to make fighters even more tentative to engage. It's true I am not a fan of the change but let’s see how it plays out. I predict it will make players even more tentative to engage and even less aggressive given their ability to defend has been reduced.

Re: New Patch Spoilers

Instead of adding a Grappling Meter, can you add a Ping indicator on the fighter selecting screen so we can avoid lag fests in quick match?

Re: New Patch Spoilers

The GA meter will more than likely be used for scenario awareness. If you're watching the meter too much you will get transitioned on. Once you put it through the lab, you'll probably never look at it again, but will have a further understanding of GA. GPD put out a under the hood GA video a few months ago... Very informative stuff in there I'm sure a lot of people have no idea about. This level of transparency will ultimately let even the casuals become better players. GPD, since you're implementing this, I hope that "Perfect Swoop meter" is on the way too. That's a game changer there.

No perfect swoop meter on the horizon I'm afraid.

We actually had one, but removed it after focus tests came back that people found it distracting.

The GA meter will be exactly what you saw in that video you referenced, only prettier.

Any chance those of us with glaucoma can get high contrast submission gates?

Yes plz, sometimes I find the sub gates hard to see. The green is easy but they could be brighter the colors. When I play during the day with my window open I find the red sub gates really hard to see.

Im a player that considers himself good on the ground, and the GA advantage meter interests me. Im SURE there are parts of GA that I dont understand, and within a week of playing with the meter it will clear it up. Then I will never look again I imagine lol

Im hoping this will lead to more people learning the ground game. Im not great standing, I learned ground, and beat most players there quite easily, so in a way Im silly to try and stand, hence not really improving

Hopefully this will mean more of a challenge on the ground, forcing me to up my standup game

GA meter should be in offline only.

I'm of the opinion that if you're looking at the grapple meter you're not looking for the transition tells and will miss a reverse. Adds in another layer to the ground.

I would understand if its not in competitive though, but I don't think its gonna affect is as badly as you're imagining

I think people are more worried about it being used for decisions since you can try and maintain GA. When someone has their back to the cage, they are at a disadvantage. Etc.

If that comes into play in the decisions then yea I can see how that would be an issue :/ i think it will be good for informative purposes though
