Re: Lunging magnet punch
I have stated this since the beta, me and phillyboi have stated this since the start. I'm exhausted due to how its just not being adressed or nothings being done about it.
The list of fundementals that are missing is stagering. Headmovement, Parrys, front and side blocking, circling, pull counters, body kicks, distance management, handfighting, scrambles, the whole of the clinch, tkos, ragdolls...... am sure theres more.

Thing is, these are the fundamentals of striking. Timing and distance, are both massively affected by the magnetism.
Then the next level down you have head movement with it's 1s & 0s, including the uppercut countering body shots vs the FNC style.
The bottom level is the blocking, which most seem okay with where it is currently. Then there's some discussion about the parries, & arm traps, which I'm scared to go near because of the matrix stun lock versions that we had in the past.
These will be brought up again and again until a more organic approach is created OR if they create so many 1s & 0s that eventually it feels close to organic.
GPD and team are beasts
, and add cool features very quickly, but sooner or later we all come back to the same discussions about the fundamentals because everything still feels off. I'm having fun for sure, the AI is great to play against and there's enough ways to play to keep it interesting with the match ups and tactics etc. but of course I want the gameplay to resemble what I think it should play out like based off stuff I learned from years of sparring and from watching fights.
The magnetism is an eye sore, so it's easy to spot. However, there are actually several animations in the grappling and striking which need tweaking too and the combo system is just a constant topic of frustration.
Not sure where I'm going with this but I feel the frustration too dude. It's like all the cool stuff they keep adding is awesome to see, and I hope they keep going for as long as they can, but that vibe of using basic footwork and head movement with precise control just isn't there.
