GPD's official response to Finish the Fight discussion

Re: GPD's official response to Finish the Fight discussion

GPD also said the level of Knockdown where you can throw follow up strikes for a KO is extremely rare. There is different "severity" of knockdowns. Most of the time, you'll get a knockdown, and just follow em to the ground to engage in grappling, not to finish the fight.

They can change this. I think we all saw our fair share of KOs from 1-2 combos. Those should without a doubt be no more than knock downs most of the time instead of straight up KOs. If they can just make that one adjustment, it would be alright. There were way too many KOs from basic jabs and straights.

He doesn't starch people though, he drops them and requires follow up shots

That was just an example, didnt doo ho get a ko with one. But lets be honest not many fights end in a pure ko.

A 1-2 will KO people alllll dayyyy long.


The issue isn't a 1-2, the issue is you barely ever see walk away ice cold KOs in MMA.


People getting KOd by baby jabs in UFC 3 is super lame though.

Just the amount of severe knockdowns needs to be increasd. I mean frequency compared to other knockdowns as well as clean kos.

Yeah idk why people want to completely nerf 1-2s when that combo is embedded into fight "DNA" as being the go to strikes to rock someone and ko someone. I agree that baby jabs shouldn't ko but I do believe stiff jabs should rock someone which it can in real life.

Dude, you keep saying this, but it's the furthest thing from the truth. I posted that video just for you and apparently you still have this false reality that walk away KOs are a rarity. What actually proved to be a rarity was fighters getting away with tons of punches after a clean KO. You just want to keep punching people after KOs lol and that's fine and dandy if that's your gripe, but stop trying to claim it's what almost always happens on a clean KO. Both videos even started off with walk away KOs lol.

What video?

And no bro. Lets watch this card tomorrow. Lets count how many walk away KOs we see. Im willing to bet the number will be 0.

Disagree when there is a persin called ngannou fighting

Re: GPD's official response to Finish the Fight discussion

Damn this is still going on? Its simple:

- Anyone that claims that fighters regularly take 5-6 punches after a KO blow in real life....is wrong.

- Anyone who claims that walkoff KOs occur regularly...is wrong.

What occurs regularly is a KO and anywhere between 1-3 follow up blows. Any more and either the ref was out of position or the guy wasnt actually KOd by the knockdown blow.

The feature has been removed but GPD said they were looking into way to address this. Lets give the devs some time here.

Even a guy as powerful as Ngnannou never had a walk away KO in his life.

What about something as simple as this? Just an idea..

In the game, when a KO happens, RNG a number from 0-3, then after that many follow up strikes, the fight ends.


If landing 5+ strikes on a KOd opponent is the problem, don't let us land that many strikes? I don't think anyone is asking for the ability to straight up assault an unconscious body, we just want to emulate the way the sport plays out IRL.

The video I posted on page 26 had most the KOs of all of 2017, walk away KOs actually edged out people bashing opponents after a clean KO. There were a few gray area KO/TKOs I omitted but it proved that the walk aways are not uncommon compared to followup on KOs. What was most common were knock downs with follows up. And when a clean KOs with followups happened, almost all but maybe 3 of them only had one followup punch due to the referee getting into the middle of it. This is why I kept saying ref interaction is the only thing really making these KOs awkward since most of the time they stop opponents before they can land an extra 6 or 8 punches.

And as I most recently stated, we mostly just need more knock down animations that require followups to finish fights. We do still have FTF (T)KOs, we just need them to trigger more often.

I think that would work as a last gasp thing. I'm hoping GPD has something better in the works.
