Re: Strike vulnerability question

I tested this pretty heavily in practice mode with the damage indicator on.

Successful counters do more damage but it depends on the context of the situation. For example, if you slip a jab and counter, it does about 5% more damage than a regular strike. If you sway a straight, uppercut or hook and counter successfully, it does about 20% more damage than the regular strike.

So the heavier the strike, the more damage a successful counter does on it. Block counters do a TON of damage. The check hook counter does close to 100% more damage than a regular hook landed. I really like how this system works, because it keeps the jab a fairly safe strike. I do think they could increase the damage a bit for counters on the heavier strikes but they have the right idea.
