Yep, the strength of the jab jab even in being in the wrong range is annoying, and I'm glad you caught that. Somebody tag Geoff so he can watch this.

Although, I'm surprised you're so cordial here on these forums NewxPrint, considering how you've messaged me on my alt, I was rather disgusted.


E_Gonzalez is the classic example of the jab jab jab pressure meta. The whole point was to show it's very possible to win against the style, but as you said correctly, inconsistencies with range screw things up immensely for the defensive fighter , 'i.e. me back swaying that hook when he was throwing that stuffed doubled jab, yet the hook still hitting me despite me timing it at the right time, which is due to the fact that there is no official hook range in game'

Or how once your block is overcommitted, you cannot move your head for a moment, which is NOT okay.


I can definitely see why your style definitely gives him fits because you're always hunting for the body and not caring what comes your way, the 1-2-3b, and then the moving body kick, maybe the occasional knee there, and eventually the Uppercut Hook.

Overall though, I would much rather fight somebody with 'your' style because at least there's a gameplan behind it, whereas Gonzalez is simply trying to make you overthrow because he's in your face throwing stuffed jabs that should ALWAYS get beat by a lead hook no matter what, even if he lands first.
