He’s #1 or #2 on the leaderboards, but unlike other top players, he’s got this unique ability to RUN THROUGH people using ridiculously basic, simple tactics. He was ranked #1 on UFC 1, and I remember he would just throw jab power hook, jab power hook, jab power hook. Super basic, simple tactics... yet somehow when the fights over, you lost and you’re just like, “how did I just lose that”.
Something about the consistency maybe? His will to win? I have no clue what it is that makes him so good but he’s back at it on UFC 3.
On UFC 3, he’s all about forward pressure, throwing bursts of 2 or 3 punches. Real basic combinations - jab straight, hook hook, etc. He just maintains this steady, constant flow of forward pressure, completely destroying your block and head health. If I try to throw back, I’m rocked immediately. Try to use head movement? He’ll just stand there til I’m done, then resume destroying my block and head health as I attempt to retreat.
So anyways I actually YouTubed him to see how people deal with him in ESFL. And guess what I found? Jigsaw vs T4H recognize. Great matchup.
Jigsaw is literally known for being ridiculously hard to do anything to. He can’t be clinched or taken down - at all. Doesn’t matter how well you set up the clinch attempt - he will shrug off every single collar tie over the course of 5 rounds. He ALWAYS has a stamina advantage and has a way of making you feel like your offense is useless. He’s basically a very good decisionator, though most people get pissed by the 3rd round and get rekt.
So anyways, jigsaw seemed like the PERFECT matchup for T4H recognize. Polar opposites. As I said, recognize just annihilates people with forward pressure, and jigsaw as probably the most frustratingly defensive player in MMA gaming history. At least on Xbox.
So I saw this on YouTube and thought, wow, let’s see how Jigsaw deals with T4H recognize. If there’s a defense that exists to deal with “Recognize”, jigsaw must know it.
Here’s the video. Spoliers are below it:
So as you can see, even a highly skilled defensive player like Jigsaw couldn’t stop this attack. He had the stamina advantage like he always does against pretty much everyone, but the damage just kept building up until he died.
So what’s your guys’ assessment of t4h recognize? How would you deal with this... is it scientifically possible to stop? Clearly defense isn’t effective... if it was, Jigsaw would’ve shown it. T4h recognize’s stamina loss won’t be significant enough to matter, and the damage dealt from the constant output is too much to survive for 3-5 rds. So are you forced to just counter and fight fire with fire? Is there no way to use his constant output to your advantage?
Look forward to hearing yalls assessments/ tips/ thoughts.
P.S. nothing but respect to t4h recognize. You’re a beast.
