Implement Hand fighting?

[TheJamesKraus]

Not sure if any of you are watching the Fight Pass Prelims but Jumeau set everything up with his lead hand, which is similar to what McGregor does.







I wish we had the ability to do this in game. I feel like it would make fights alot more tactical and simulated.. maybe thats just me.

Thoughts/Opinions?

Implement Hand fighting?

I feel you man. The more realism the better.

Things like this and wrist control (for grappling) would be difficult to smoothly implement in a video game and would require some creative thinking from EA

This is basically a parry. Related anyway. If it could be implemented correctly I'd be all for it. I do not know how it could be implemented in a balanced way that was fun though.

Also going to use this as an excuse to post this GIF again... Pettis not allowing Henderson to throw his lead hand and smashing him with body kicks.

Re: Implement Hand fighting?

Been asking for this (wrist control) and head control for so many years.

Really hope it's added.

Re: Implement Hand fighting?

The big thing I’m noticing watching the fight pass prelims is the footwork.

Ishihara and Quinonez are both very quick, and able to use footwork to evade any attempts to throwing combinations.

This isn’t really possible in the game in its current state, but I don’t know how it could be implemented

The devs have a helluva job on their hands to implement all these nuances, but I think we are moving in the right direction.

I knew you would post with some GIFs

You can use it in many different ways.. use it to **** with your opponents rhythm, touch your way in, control your opponents lead hand to shut down their offence.

I feel like it would help alot with the spammers and it would be another defensive weapon, that could put you on the offensive.

I'd much rather see it in the ground/clinch game than in stand up.

It needs to be added everywhere.

Fighters use wrist control in the clinch, on the ground and in standup like I've shown. It can also be used to post/frame as a form of takedown defense.

I'll try to post GIFs of the various uses when I have more time and categorize them.

Re: Implement Hand fighting?

I think it would be nice to make the regular clinch entries look like hand fighting, in order to have a lengthy subtransition where the usual grappling logic of stamina and GA could be applied properly.

I would like to see some animated feints, maybe we can see hand fighting when you feint a jab. I think animated feints could work with R1 and right stick.

DC and Khabib are very good in those situations, both control the fight from there.
