1/2 to the body spam

[Find_the_Door]

My first fight of the night, this shows the problem with them nerfing neutral clinching positions. I have fought Iron before and know he'll guard his head endlessly. You literally cannot get into the clinch with these players - all you can do is endlessly spam 1/2 to the body as he soley protects his head.


Of course when you do happen to hit his body clean he'll just overhand you to oblivion. Kudos to him for not following up on a rock as he knows I'd keep him down. But look at the 1/2 body spam.


Obviously if I could block I would but I'm simply stuck there standing frozen from the 1/2 body hit stun (which shouldn't exist). There are many missed opportunities on my own behalf here and I'm not disregarding that. I'm posting this to convey fundamental problems with the game.

Thoughts?

Edit: Thanks for the GIF tissues

BROTHA you don't need no videos, no words or texts, NOTHING.

I feel everything you are saying and nothing makes me more mad then a 1-2 stopping every takedown like a freaking wall. I FEEL YOUR PAIN!

Combo multiplier just absolutely needs to go. Buff intelligently setup single strike damage, increase long term stamina drain.

They still don't get body shots/damage. You should be able to uppercut someone doing that and put them on their ***.

Yeah it's pretty bad... Specially with how quick the punches are and that they move you forward almost as fast as someone backing up.. I've been hit with 5-6 in a row while trying to throw a jab/overhand and had it not work, so I go to block body and then they go high and you're rocked in 2 punches and it's over.. Block the head they 1-2spam the body, block body they spam head..

Also the 1-2 lunges you foward like a heat seeking missle. Which is crazy in its self.

Body 1/2 shouldn't interrupt head strikes

Ya, it's weird. the 1-2 is really OP when used by smart ppl online.

It is to much of a brick wall to get by.

This is just my opinion of course...

Most broken aspect of the game and everyone is content ignoring it. Absolutely frustrating.

I have trouble with this as well. It's the people who are good who can spam really effectively with it, mixing it up.

Only my women's bantamweight fighter can effectively deal with this as she has a five star leg kick, and the 18% leg perk or something.

I really really really hope that get rid of combo multiplier in this game and body 1-2s auto lunge should be removed, too.

And Increased way more stamina tax(per. and normal) for 1-2s spamming.

But Increased damage and impact for just 1-2 as a jab and straight. I mean is just damage, it's not hit stun.

I can't believe it. Absolutely terrible. This is Mortal Kombat.

Thank you for cutting it down. I ended up running into him a few fights later, he chased a knockdown and I swept him and finished him from mount. This is literally his only game.

The most disturbing part is his stamina bar. Throws 14 strikes and can still has nearly half a bar left.

Fyi the sequence when I attempt to clinch him like 5 times in a row is just a fit of rage. Not sure why they felt the need to nerf a neutral position entry - has absolutely turned this into a K1 style game.

Re: 1/2 to the body spam

I haven't played much, since the patch. And I have grappled even less.

But I'm not surprised that you guys who are playing more are finding that the neutral clinch entries' nerf was a mistake.

We all said from the beginning - hopefully only Muay Thai entry was adjusted. Nope.

Now infact Insta Muay Thai is actually now faster than Single Collar entry. How that happened I don't know.
