Re: New DLC Pack

Niiiice. B-Hop.

I still want Floyd though....

EDIT: Woah. 2 new games modes as well. And if you haven't got this game yet, now is the time. It got a price cut to $39.99. Kinda surprising IMO but they're probably thinking it will boost sales going into Christmas.

Of course this is 800 points and I have just over 700 left. :

Re: New DLC Pack

I traded this game in but it looks like they have another patch coming out that allows you to change fighter ratings and such. It also addresses more of the spamming and stamina issues.

Now only if they can make the jab effective....Then I will love it.

Is it just me or does the bolded seem very counter productive?

you fix the glued feet but now you're also making us move slower?

Everything else seems to be spot on...

Totally agree. It is counter productive.... trying to please to please everyone can take away what fans really want.....realism!!!

Re: New Patch Announced- Link inside!

It actually makes sense. If you get glued to a spammer you want to get away. They made it to where you can get away now, however if you continue to round the ring after you do get away you'll lose stamina for wimping out.

Of course this is all specualtion until the patch does get released.

Edit; and tbh I could completely do without the stamina loss for circling the ring. I see alot of fighters hit and run so yeah it may take away the realism aspect.
