Or is that something invented in the game?

Re: Do fighters lean before every strike or combo in mma?
The game literally forces you to. Cross/hook without slipping/combo is SO FREAKING SLOW. I can counter strikes from any fighter IRL if they punched at that speed
I honestly have no clue why they made naked strikes so damn slow. I enjoy sniping people by controlling distance and firing the cross after a whiff, but I just do the duck uppercut like everyone else. It's too sluggish and frustrating
Also uppercut-uppercut combos need to be goneComment

Some fighters do.
Pearson, Pickett, Mendes, DC.
It’s not EVERY strike because that would make you predictable but they do bob and weave.
Mendes caught Aldo with a duck uppercut bro!!Comment

the game doesn't force u to do anything, I would prefer to lose than use a broken mechnic or go around moving like a boxer in the pocket of an mma game where it just shouldnt be possible. The reason people dont do it in real life is because the risk is too high.Last edited by Sivo; 02-27-2018, 08:23 AM.Comment

You didn't know Uppercut and Haymaker spam perfectly translates to real life MMA???ilovejiujitsuComment

Might as well just uppercut because that seems to be the answer to most things. Hold high block, wait for them to go to the body and keep uppercutting them. Then just 1-2 them if they are smart enough to try and start kicking you.Comment

It happens a little bit. But it's mostly for this game. Because that would get predictable and would be punished in real life. It's also tiring to sway to head all of damn time. Fighters defend by using not just slips but blocking parrying and foot work.Jon Jones beats your favorite fighter except if yours is Matt HamillComment

I don't know but I fought 5 guys in a row all spamming haymakers to KO you through the block. I mean I agree with breaking the block, and you're supposed to lean ect but the way its being chees'd just makes me want to play other games.Comment

It's so unfortunate that this new striking system has been so easy to exploit. I'm not exactly sure why they made this particular decision though, plus it visually just looks so bad. I hope patches will fix this

At the end of the day you have to adapt, or just wait for patches. Right now, the name of the game is to stick close to your opponent and slip n sway. I can't tell you how many free rocks I've gotten from people who were beating me because of a duck uppercut hook. It only takes one. Even had a few cases where I duck a headkick and get a OKO, hilarious.
Why bother setting up one hook with jabs and feints when this is far more effective? The only other practical gameplan is to use takedown exploits. So you can pick your poison.Comment

Bunch of dudes did it in a row. I only lost to one of them. I wasn't asking for advice on dealing with it. (Even though any advice is appreciated)
I just found it interesting.Comment
