Epic, thanks man, hopefully Rob got the spin elbow and lead aswell, god I can't wait until I get off work, Whittaker v Romero III time haha.

Re: Did anyone get a fighter update?

Other people have taken DJ down. Tim Elliot comes to mind, and way back in the day Cruz and Uncle Creepy.

Not a huge vulnerability, but hardly ironclad TDD.

While your absolutely right.
It's also fair to say DJs TD off has increased substantially since the Cruz fight (which was at 135 also) and the McCall brawl.

However, Elliot did get him down, that's true.
I think 92 is about accurate personally. It was 94, but getting taken down a few times by a wrestler of Cejudos calibre shouldn't dictate at 4 point drop IMO.

Spinning elbow and lead elbow are both in now for Whittaker, the only thing I noticed with Romero was the Lead spinning side kick to the body.

Re: Did anyone get a fighter update?

I was looking for the specifics but thanks anyway. Yeah, Cody's chin got nerfed, I noticed because I had checked it recently, it was 90 or 89.

Edit: oh, some people have already mentioned them, I didn't see.

Yeah so far no concrete list of changes outside what Aholberts said and others have mentioned.

Hopefully we get one.

@Meowing
JDS got his speed dropped, too. 97-93, but I'm unsure of any other changes sorry.

Ugh! Rob is peeeerrrfect now! I just got home and I'm using him now. Side body kick, front and rear leg side kicks, beautiful stuff. All he needs is a rear body teep into or out of a lead hook combo (which doesn't exist in game sadly) and he'd be pretty much spot on

Real glad these got added in. My boy is (well, more of) a monster.

As for Yoel, the Lead spin body kick was the major one for me, I remember posting about that after the fight. So I'm glad that got added in.

Were there other moves he should have got? Or had buffed?
I'm not too well versed on Romeros move levels if honest outside his deadly knees/overhand.

Great point.

Re: Did anyone get a fighter update?

Thanks for posting that Aholbert!

Edit: real glad to see Scoggins get a buff, he feels much better now.

And Poirier got a little extra Strike Stam buff maybe? It's 93 now, not 90.
Which is fine by me. His output v Gatheje was insane.

[AeroZeppelin27]

Re: Did anyone get a fighter update?

It wasn’t in his move list unless I completely missed it. Didn’t try to do the switch kick in practice though.

Can confirm Costa has the switch kick.

I just blew Yoels liver out with it.

It's level 3, aswell. Oh yes.

Costas lead roundhouses have been buffed from level 1 to 2, I'm sure they were all level 1, not just the lead leg kick. I may be wrong there.

Re: Did anyone get a fighter update?

Big thank you to the devs for adding the moves I suggested for Ortega and Costa! The only ones you didn’t add were Costa switch body kicks and Ortega jab->spinning heel kick combo. I will re post them with the GIFs again.

For anyone wondering

Ortega now has;
Crane kick
Double leg takedown
Thai clinch
Switch body kick
Cage superman

Costa now has;
Boxing level 4 combos
Lead hook lv2 to lv3
Body hooks lv1 to lv2

Ortega had the cage superman before this update homie lol.

I'm not too well versed on Romeros move levels if honest outside his deadly knees/overhand.

I think the only moves left out were the lead teep kick to the body and the ducking roundhouse kick for Whittaker, but god damnn he feels perfect now.

A new character model for Whittaker would be the cherry on top.

I’m still hoping the devs give Romero the rear roundhouse kick to lead spinning backfist combo (Romero vs Souza) I love feinting the kick and quickly throwing the backfist.

Yeah a new Whittaker model would be great.
Good call on the ducking roundhouse, I have no idea why he doesn't have that (.. Now that I realize he doesn't have that)

And that would be a cool combo for Romero, yeah. I'm sure I've seen the devs say fighters can be given combos from higher move tiers than they currently have without moving to that tier.
(So a specific lvl 4 kickboxing combo could be given to someone with lvl 1 kickboxing)

So I don't see why Romero couldn't be given the rear roundhouse-SBF, which I think is.. Kickboxing level 3 or 4.

I've never thought about feinting the kick into the SBF, I use it as the whiff follow through, but I'm gonna try that now as I loooove feinting a lead roundhouse into spinning heel kick with Saki.

Re: Did anyone get a fighter update?

Mendes: Power plus 1 (95) Strike Speed plus 1 (91), footwork plus 2 (89), Strike Stamina plus 2 (89)

May have to start using Mendes! Fits my mold perfectly --- even though I despise that division for so many reasons ----

Good to see the switch body kick did make it in. Weird how it wasn’t on his move list when I looked earlier.

Yeah the lead roundhouse was level 1. I suggested level 3 but they went with level 2.

They also changed the body hooks and left the body uppercuts at level 1 which is definitely too low.

Really? Another one that wasn’t in the move list before this update.
