Re: Patch spoilers discussion

This game is going to be a completely different game after this patch, which isn't a bad thing at all.

I know people are going to kill me for hyping up the game but this is truly how I feel.

I was planning to have a few fights in my Universe yesterday but after seeing some of the videos I've seen of the AI post patch...I decided to hold off until the patch is released next week. Especially because two of the guys greatly affected by the AI changes in the patch (Machida and Romero) were on the card I wanted to run.

Will it feel like a new game? Nah but it will feel different when it comes to AI.

I just deleted my whole universe out of Evernote.

Would it be to much to ask for a Universe starter guide? I've always been into the ranked part but i feel like offline players enjoy this game the most, i wanna give it a shot!

I haven't played the game in a week and won't until the patch is out. AI changes are always good.

Re: Patch spoilers discussion

Pretty awesome we got new pivot lunges and block while lunging. Looking forward to this patch.

Re: Patch spoilers discussion

I have to say, I was very critical of this game when it first came out. I never purchased it, but have been popping in every other month or so to see its progress. The amount of work the development team has put into this game post-launch is incredible, and the changes they are implementing appear to be in support of a realistic, simulation of MMA.

I'm still awaiting more information on the upcoming patch, and will probably wait to see video of the new features in motion before actually purchasing, but as of now, if the patch looks as good as it sounds, I will most likely be buying in a week or two.

Wait have you played a build of the new patch or no?

What do you mean by a start guide? Like an explanation of how we run our universe or a file to open?

Re: Patch spoilers discussion

Made it so an attacking fighter will stop tracking their opponent when a side lunge evades a forward moving strike. #patchspoilers #EAUFC3

This means side stepping a fwd moving combo will see your opponent go flying by you, allowing you to create angles on your opponent the game never supported before, for a potential counter opportunity or to regain control of the octagon. #patchspoilers #EAUFC3

This is fantastic! We might actually be able to side step an overhand!!

You can side step overhands just gotta have your sidesteps down most people completely abandoned them

Re: Patch spoilers discussion

The lunge change is all about adding some "conservation of momentum" to the game in a realistic way.

It should simulate something like this.



Against the Overhand



The pivot (Which works when you sway a strike then lunge to the outside of the strike) will act very closely to this:



If all goes as planned, a player that constantly inputs a string of forward moving combos will quickly start looking really foolish once one of those strikes gets evaded by a lunge.

This won't serve as a "Hand hold" for players who suck and don't wanna ever engage... it'll still require skill and yeah, you will most definitely still run into strikes and get stopped by pressure fighters while trying to use these tools, but at the very least... we will now have some solid solid distance creation tools.

Can't wait.

What is frame trapping?

Frame trap: An attack that, when timed correctly, opens up enough of a gap for the opponent to try to attack but nothing the opponent does will come out fast enough to avoid being stuffed.

Basically think of a top 50 Costa spammer. Gets you against the cage, pokes out jabs over and over to try to break your block and interrupt whatever you do. Throws an overhand after. Tries to apply pressure in such a way that anything you do gets interrupted by what he's doing, "trapping" you.

Ah so this is the difference between fighting a pressure fighter where I feel I can actually counter them and fighting a pressure fighter where it feels hopeless. Thanks.

To add to this... you would be blocking in this situation where there are block recovery frames where even after you release block you can’t perform a strike till these recovery frames execute. So the jab is the fastest and least dangerous strike in the game. If he continually jabs and you try to counter he will catch you in the required strike start up frames that stops your strike you try to throw after block. Basically trapping you in a block trap if the player is knowledgeable enough.
