Have you gotten used to the new kick controls?

[xtremeba1000]

I was always really good with fighters with special kicks like spin kicks/side kicks and I still haven't gotten used to the controls. Anyone else struggling with this?

I understand it now, but I really don't like it. One of the easiest things to understand about UFC 3 was that each of the face buttons was mapped to one of the limbs. circle > right leg, x > left leg, triangle > right hand, square > left hand. That applied for every strike.

For some reason that's been thrown out of the window and replaced with a short/long press strike system. It's over-simplified the controls to reach an over-complicated result. Now holding when doing a rear right kick to the body from orthodox gives you a lead switch kick to the body.

It just doesn't make sense

Wait I’m confused.. what is different about the kicking? I see the post above but that confused me a little to be honest. If you hold a rear leg kick it does a switch kick with lead leg?

Yeah I really can't figure it out

X was always left kick and circle was right kick

Now is it circle is always lead kick or X is always trailing or something?

for some reason rear spin kicks to the head are L1/B R1/B and the rear punch button. Also some fighters have kicks on their move list that they don't actually have. I went into practice mode with Vitor and he could only do of the 4 spin kicks he had in his move set

This is exactly what I'm talking about. It feels weird pressing a punch button to throw a kick or use the opposite side button to throw the switch kick

It makes it a lot harder to pull of combos with the kicks consistently but maybe it’s because I haven’t gotten used to it. Also the new spinning heel kick animation doesn’t look right

Controls are a mess it ruins the game. Tap controls do not work. Way to easy to go for a takedown instead of a body shot.

Give us legacy controls

I’ve actually gotten used to pettis now tbf but it was very awkward at first since the old controls were still ingrained in my muscle memory lol.

Maybe give it a day before we all start clamoring for the controls to go back the way they were (which they can’t because of new mechanics).

We all have a ton of muscle memory built up from the last game so it’s gonna take a while for some of us.

There’s nothing wrong with something changing it just takes a while to get used to it sometimes and the learning curve can be frustrating.

I don't mind holding the input, that's not a big deal. I don't even really care much about how the switch kick seems to be on the wrong input.

What does annoy me, is how some kicks are mapped to punch inputs, such as the oblique kick. That just makes absolutely no sense whatsoever imo. Yes, I'll get used to it and it'll eventually be something I don't have to think about. But it honestly makes zero sense that they've mapped some kicks to the punch buttons.

Re: Have you gotten used to the new kick controls?

I've only played for less than two hours totally if you include the beta a week ago, so no. I still have old UFC habits to break.


Heck I still haven't gotten used to the new takedown defense. I've been taken down so many times b/c I keep using the UFC 3 takedown defense on reaction it isn't even funny.

Re: Have you gotten used to the new kick controls?

The body switch kick for the left leg being done with the button for the right leg doesn't make sense at all
