Hmm. Are you transition blocking? I noticed in the Condit fight that you werent transition blocking and thats why Hardy was able to get off the ground so easy in the 2nd?

Thanks for the Cruz/Benavidez video. I'd like to see if a wrestler fights drastically different than a striker. Can you control Aldo and fight the CPU's Mendes? Thanks.

To be honest, I think I was but not completely sure about it. That's holding the stick left/right correct?

I'm taking a video break, but I'll do that one later tonight.

You cant hold it in this years game. You have to time it so that when the CPU tries to transition, you are blocking. You can usually tell by animation if your fighter is transition blocking.

Did the devs watch any CPU vs CPU fights? The ground is worse than broken.

I don't think ANY developer watch cpu vs cpu game play. Across all sports games, cpu vs cpu game play is horrid. Just a this generation kind of thing going in the gaming industry as a whole. They seem to be more concerned with online features then the core game play of the game.

Either way, I just learned to accept it and set house rules for myself with every sports game this generation.

Hard to tell from the one player vs cpu video, but it looks like the CPU is still always in aggressive, stalk-you-down mode. That would be really disappointing.

Can I see a video of Rashad vs. anyone? Or Mark Hunt vs. Pat Barry? Thanks for the ones you've posted so far.

You can hold the stick, but they are quick to break through anyway sometimes, and after a transition, sometimes the "away" on the sitck changes and you arent blocking when you think you are. Ive noticed that when i give up a transition right after a sucessful transition.

also blocking a punch gives a free minor transition if your fast enough, even in non postured situations. so if they quckly get a minor after blocking you, you can't block their transition.

You can tell the animation changes when you are blocking though. also there is an animation for transition reversals. maybe thats what your seeing when you try to time it.

How do I throw harder leg kicks anyhow?

I feel like he should have been a lot more damaged in that area also. I'm pretty sure the screen rocked on a couple of the leg kicks, so I assumed that they would have done more damage.

Step in with them, with either the dash step, or click the stick in and run toward them. also landing them as a counter makes them do more damage.

Also keep in mind the fighter you are using too. Not all fighters have high kick power or punch power. So it would be silly and pointless trying to throw leg kicks with say, Rampage or Maia. Just like it would be pointless trying to KO somebody with Maia or Matt Hughes.

Just like holding left stick towards the opponent and pressing the punch button throws harder punches. It does the same thing with kicks.

LT + Left stick towards opponent + Kick button = Harder leg kicks
Left stick towards opponent + kick button = harder body kicks

Also like Matt said, dash and running also do more damage

Holding doesnt work thats why it looks like they "break through it anyway". They stated in a Q&A that they dont want people to just hold on to the transition block to stop transitions. Its similar to EA MMA, where you had to press B to stop a defensive transition. I layed and prayed on Silva using Jones by timing the transition block.

Well ground & pound yeah.....but standing KO with Matt Hughes or Maia ? Not likely.

But anyway I hope they patch the reverses in this game. Happens way too much by the cpu it seems in quite an unrealistic manner too. I don't recall people reversing a person in full mount THAT easy, nor do I recall people in real life doing back to back to back to back reversals in rapid order too.

So I hope they SEVERELY tone that down to maybe no more then TWICE a round. I also would like to see the CPU check leg kicks much sooner as well. Shouldn't be able to fire off leg kick after leg kick and they not check it.
