Neutral Preemptive Con's - There's no way to setup a counter if your opponent misses unless they literally run into your punch - Tiring - Susceptible to leg kicks - Susceptible to takedowns Counter oriented head-movement: These are short & fast-twitch motions that barely make your opponent miss Pro's - Set's up powerful counters - Doesn't cost as much stamina Neutral - Reactionary Con's - Significant consequences if you fail to do it correctly - Difficult to pull off Case in point: Offensive head-movement Swaying left, right or ducking while moving forward into your opponents range Pro's - Loads up punches depending on which way you're swaying (hooks or overhands basically) - Masks your intentions and keeps your opponent guessing (you can takedown, punch or just retreat right afterwards) Neutral Preemptive Con's - Tiring If predicted: - Susceptible to uppercuts - Susceptible to (flying) knees - Susceptible to body strikes - Susceptible to leg kicks - Susceptible to takedowns --------------------- In the UFC3 beta, the only thing we've got is the offense oriented head movement masquerading as the other two. So I'll ask again, why do some people feel that's superior to having full control?

Incredible post dude. A+
