[Good Grappler]

It was very realistic, skill-based, and balanced as it was. You could shut down a pressure fighter entirely by just moving, blocking, and swaying. You could just pick your shots here and there, and they’d be gassed by round 2.

Now, with the removal of blocking while leaning backwards, along with the stamina changes... it’s not very useful at all. Fighters can just tear your block to shreds, with even MORE stamina to spare.

We’ve lost an entire aspect of defensive striking.

It’s like the mods are saying “people are playing too defensively... we want more wars!”

I mean, Using Yoel Romero, it was actually viable to just hold your ground, block, calmly move your head. Then explode here and there. Now, your block just gets torn to shreds immediately. Totally different game now.

The striking is 80% offense, 20% defense now. Whereas is used to be more like 60% defense.
