Re: EA Sports UFC 3 Beta Feedback Video #2

Sounds like the artificial fake buff to the body when ducking is the issue then.

If im leaning to the right, you should be able to crush me with a hook, or kick to the head, or body.

Honestly, I don't know if you train or anything, but ducking does help with body shots, as does leaning into them. Obviously, risky as ****, but it tightens the muscles and absorbs a little bit of the impact. To be clear, not the same as blocking or just not getting hit, but it's better than nothing. It hurts more to get hit in the opposite side though, so if I'm leaning right and get hit on the left side, that'll be worse than if I was just in a neutral stance, and I'm not sure if that component is represented.

I have spent about a year and a half working out in my local Boxing Club.

I have never in my life seen someone purposefully duck into a body shot.

Tighting up your abs, and bracing for impact, is not the same as straight up ducking into a shot.

Fair enough, done about three years of Muay Thai with a little boxing, I'd lean into ****, but ducking is terrifying (and I agree it should be nerfed) but I think this nerf to slipping strikes is fine on a mechanical level for the time being, since I'd assume adding recovery frames is far, far easier than messing with their entire head movement system.

Just in case it didn't sound intuitive...

Dancing is used in arcade lingo as pre-emptive footwork to bait whiffs. So, moving from side to side and varying diagonals back and forth, then advancing and then going straight back. Stuff like this.

Turtle means the guy is blocking while doing this. This is usually not allowed in arcade games. And it makes a big difference.

I had to create a new term. And I'm terrible with titles. Don't judge me.

Loved the turtle dance video, btw! Having it as a short clip in the middle of actual UFC 3 videos could be gold.

I've almost used traditional fighting game lingo for inputs so many times, but the numbers would confuse the **** out of people on here I imagine, like 1-2-low 10 would be 1-2-4 in regular fighting game terms. (9 and 10 are lead and rear roundkicks respectively in my coachs system btw)

I always thought the practice of tiny steps to manipulate distance was called "Footsies" in Fighting Game terms.

Re: EA Sports UFC 3 Beta Feedback Video #2

I think footsies means the little low kicks, but I'm not sure.

Re: EA Sports UFC 3 Beta Feedback Video #2

Is it just me or should Barboza keep the old 1-Body Kick speed.

I'm like.. half joking, but I was just watching some gym clips and SWEET JESUS THAT GUY KICKS SO DAMN FAST.. Augh.. If anyone's seen the one where he just throws endless lead body kicks as if his leg was a cyborg baseball being swung by six burly lumberjacks on crank.. Got.. Dayum.

I'm assuming his Jab-Body Kick will be quicker than say, Nates..

Yes! And Pettis should be able to throw them fast as well like he used on benson in there second fight

I suspect other body kicks combos will remain as fast as they were in the beta. So, Barboza and Pettis should be fine, specially Barboza (more MT combos).

Yeah, I didn't even think about it like that, sweeeet.

Semi related Barboza question, he only had a level 4 switch kick (and no ways to combo into it to speed it up), if Barboza doesn't have a level 5 switch kick, who the hell does? It's like if you gave GSP a level 4 jab, or Aldo a level 4 low kick, if that's a 4, what the hell is a 5?

Haz is right. “Footies” refers to movements to manipulate distance.

Like when two fighters are using pokes or trying to bait whiffs

Re: EA Sports UFC 3 Beta Feedback Video #2

Cool. I had no idea.

I wonder if the 3D arcade games tends to call it differently, or if I just happened upon a weird sample (that calls it "dancing").

Though, strictly speaking, if footsies includes the use of pokes, then it is a different and wider concept.

Good questions. I don't know. My best guess is that whoever picked the moves wanted to make a point that Barboza's leg kick was even better than his switch kick.
