Constant high block or block in general

[xFINISHxHIMx]

Im fighting many guys that constantly hold the block button down but they're not losing any stamina. Holding your hands up during a fight isn't as easy as it sounds, hands get heavy during a fight. Should there be a stamina penalty or something like in UFC 1 no stamina recover while holding block?

Opinions?

I think slowed stamina recovery could be interesting, but I think zero regen could have a lot of situations where you're just screwed, like after a whiffed kick if someone manages to get into the pocket and force you to block, you could end up stuck on extremely low stamina for a very long time, which would be awful because of how body shots and damage in general work.

Probably not until there's more evasive ways and options to avoid strikes maybe. But then again, the block doesn't really seem to put your block up until the shots are coming anyway as far as the animation goes. I don't think there's any reason to penalize or over complicate blocking more. There's far more offensive options than there is defense and I don't know how many more reasonable defensive measures could be implemented in a video game.

Slowed recovery during block sounds great to me.

Re: Constant high block or block in general

please enough with asking for more stamina penalty's theres max stamina drain from body shots stamina drain from grappling stamina drain from strikes soon people are going to ask for max stamina drain for walking around the cage let them fix real issues with the game first like djs flying arm bar being two different transition but the same animation

Honestly I'd just like to see a major movement speed reduction in people that are holding block. I think that would be a pretty cool addition.

If you hug block it would be nice if strikes could slip through, but if you timed the block it would be like a "strong" block.

I love the stamina penalty suggestion for blocking. The game as it's playing right now doesn't seem to tax movements enough when it comes to stamina.

Im experiencing it more and more... people stand in front of you holding the block button down or walking backwards holding block. Impossible to break through the block and if you go to the body you're getting uppercut'd into oblivion.

Yeah guys. The real issues aren’t with actual gameplay mechanics, it’s whether or not DJ’s submission has two animations or not.

Brb, gonna blow my brains out.

Solid idea. This is how it was in FNC, right? I like this idea lot if it can be implemented well tho.

This combined with the slowed recovery of the stamina bar is imo the best solution.

I like this idea alot.

Another idea could be that your movement slightly slows down when you're blocking, because you're holding your hands up/down and kind of bracing for impact. As opposed to just openly moving around the cage.

I don't know, I'm spitballing here because I like where the idea of where this thread is going.

Re: Constant high block or block in general

I like the idea of stamina, but from a realism standpoint I don't think holding up block is that taxing unless fighters get crazy gassed.
