Combo Spam

Re: Combo Spam

I need to see a video of this combo spam because I don't know how you would define it. Usually if someone just stands in front of me throwing non stop combos I can usually counter.

I'll make one tonight of me walking someone down.

Re: Combo Spam

The strike output of a guy like Mark Hunt in this game is too much. Especially if the player can effectively break block down while still stalking

After 120-130 strikes in 1 round he's fine if he cracks your chin. Rocking your opponent gives you a huge stamina regen in between rounds

Re: Combo Spam

We have fought like 6 times. It’s mainly Cruz vs Garbrandt but yesterday we played at LHW. You were Saki and I was Gus. Then Jones vs Gus.

To be fair, I don’t have a problem with your play style. I only care if you were trying to get rid combos to suit yourself.

nah never that. i know most people who play don’t have the patience to sit back, make reads and take people into the later rounds. that and not mixing it up all the time are my biggest flaws. which is why you calling me out on my overhand-lead uppercut-hook combo is funny to me. i get mad at myself when i get locked into throwing it. i swear i know other combos!!

add me if you’re down to play more. win or lose i won’t talk smack or blame the game lol.

Re: Combo Spam

I completely disagree with any form of additional stamina tax for blocked strikes.

Again, this is a buff to block, and I personally don't want that.

What we need are more ways to force a whiff with footwork, one that'll count as "evaded". This way with a combination of block, head movement, and footwork we can deal with hard combos by making them whiff... That's how we should be trying to drain their stamina.

More on this later.

Stamina tax to blocked strikes can be added if block has a stamina tax and/or slowed movement.

There could be a nerf along with a buff so it is in balance.

Look up the ESFL on twitch. I’m LemusKhan. I just fought at ESFL 8 (which you can find in the videos section, one of the last fights) and threw a grand total of like 78 strikes to win a three round decision.

I can also play you if you’re on Xbox.

I posted the fight link below that post. The guy I was fighting doesn't throw nonstop combos though. Almost no one does at the top level. I'd have to play a quick match to find someone who does that.

Wasn’t a paced fight... I really enjoy watch it

Thank you, I would appreciate it too.

You're a good player and you play realistic...I'll give credit where its due, but you're still missing the point. Even if I was the best player in the world and even if guys couldn't touch me with combos, i'd still be saying the same thing. The amount of long term stamina loss in between rounds isn't enough for the amount of strikes some players are throwing per round. Some guys are throwing almost 200 strikes per round and coming out with near same long term stamina as someone who is throwing way less. I'm not saying it should be some gigantic increase or anything, but a slight one is needed.

Re: Combo Spam

Why is there not a severe stamina tax for throwing missed or blocked combos in succession? Combos should be something that you are rewarded for timing with perfection and something you're punished heavily for if you resort to spamming it.

But if anything - my goodness a stamina tax is needed and I'm talking a big adjustment!

Here Door is again preaching exactly what I said when I saw the patch notes. Even though sway spam isn't dead, combo spam is definitely the new cheese

Re: Combo Spam

How much do you want to bet that in a few month's time everyone will be complaining about footwork spam?

Thats like saying using real life spam, i just dont think that would happen. Realistic things wont get complained about if they are somewhat balanced.

For example thompson, his fight style should be able to be created but currently thats impossible.

Yeah when there's no stamina tax you really don't even have to play the game to connect the dots in that regard.

1) Reduced Block break down time

2) Reduced stamina loss on rocks

3) Reduced stamina loss from evaded strikes

4) Increased vulnerability

All of these things paint the picture for pressure combo cheese. It's infuriating that it's easy to see in plain text, but is generally defended when challenged.

Movement speed needs reduced, stamina loss increased and power increased in a general sense. This game would be much better.

Instead we have a TRT Vitor's Blitz 2018!

There's nothing intelligent or high level about Top 100 striking - it's let me beat on your block with 3 alternating combos that if you mistime your interrupt you're paying for it.

Such low risk to spam and alternate combos with immense potential for high reward.

Did the patch increase vulnerability? Of what?

Lunge I guess

Re: Combo Spam

Of sways - damage. So in a sense when you go to evade using head movement (as it was intended) you're now punished even more when they're spamming combos and sways with alternating patterns.

Just far too safe to spam right now and not enough penalty. We should have to intelligently pick our shots!
