Re: Combo Spam

Looool just had a player walk me down and just throw stationary hooks and uppercuts. Tried to use head movement to start with and try and counter but ended up getting KOd. I matched with him again and started standing right in front of him and doing exactly the same as he did - basically holding L1 and spamming X and triangle along with some uppercuts and I KOd him easily.

Both of us standing there holding high block and basically just swinging until they tried to swing back or the block broke. Really.

I would say move and leg kick but I guess he would hunt you like no tomoorow

yeah it was hard trying to get space to even try it and then not get bombarded with punches. Figured I was better just fighing fire with fire in this case.

That is basically my strategy these days. Stand flat and swing hook and uppercut combos. Most people will stand right there and sway and duck until they get knocked out. If people try to do the same back I will be patient and start timing the sway and duck counters to get ahead in the exchanges. Or I start using the back lunge to gas them out.

Re: Combo Spam

I’m still laughing at that guy who quoted me saying that missing single strike jabs and not letting my stamina hit the floor while playing as a stamina king should have left me bone dry.

That open invite is still in place. If any of you want to use these combos against me. Of course I won’t get any takers though.

Because you’re creating strawmen

The issue is stamina drain not whether or not combos are punishable

the point is that everyone is throwing the same combos and standing flat, however they can do it throughout the whole fight, so to fight in the inside you have to spam combos back or fight on the outside and be cautious when you get into range.

Did you refer to Garbrandt as a stamina king? Because he isn't. He's not a particularly high paced fighter and you threw more in that 3 round fight than he ever has in a single fight his entire career, he just has good stamina stats in this game for no apparent reason.

But he is in the game so that really has no bearing. This is also a GAME. And despite FtD using the accelerated clock as a negative for why people can throw so much in reality it’s a pretty good reason why they should.

You only have 2:30 minutes to play. You better be able to pack some punishment in there.

The main reason all this talk is BS is because stamina DOES get drained. Even if it didn’t, if its easily counterable (which it IS), there is no issue. I have yet to see any gameplay of this, only end game stats which say almost nothing about what really happened in the match.

All you guys can keep spewing the same old tired nonsense at me but it makes no difference. You guys can’t even keep your stories together.

That was literally my first post in this thread, relax man. But do you not think it's a problem for a fighter to be able to fight at a 60% faster pace than he's ever fought at IRL in this game, whether it's because of his stats or otherwise?

I don't even think combos are a problem, I do think stamina is generally though, every fight in this game is ridiculously high paced.

I absolutely think that is acceptable. Especially because that fighter has 50% less time to throw those strikes. I have no interest in this being a 100% sim experience. My main concern is fun. Which I’ve been having a lot more of since the last patch. The meta is in a great place right now. People are scraping for things to complain about.

Re: Combo Spam

Again, I’m bringing this back to evidence based practice. POST A VIDEO. PLAY ME. Anything you guys can do to show me that this is an issue and I will fight just as hard on your side.

But no one can because this is bunk and you all know it.

Lemus?

Anyone that thinks the stamina is in need of MORE taxing isn't at a level of skill to know any better, cry about it all you want but when good people play each other if one develops even a 5% stamina advanantage its already a stupidly hard fight to win.

PS. Don't expect anyone to post a video of what they like to proclaim that would be way to easy.

Legit question, why should accelerated clock result in more strikes? I'm genuinely curious about your line of reasoning.

I think we just have different interests, I want a sim experience where fighters are throwing accurate volumes of strikes, you don't, that's fine. But for me personally, it is an issue, not because it's OP or too hard to counter or whatever, but because it's unrealistic and realism is important to me.
