It's that famous MMAi they where talking about

Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner, I ended up being way busier this week that I expected.

So it looks like a significant strike in our game is a strike that causes damage above a particular threshold.

Since it's tied to damage it's not as simple as saying "this strike is a significant strike, and this one isn't", it will be influence by many factors.

But for the most part it would look like jabs are not significant strikes, and most other strikes will tend to be (still based on the damaged landed though).

Gameplaydev, could you give us some insight into why sometimes a transition is stopped/interrupted by a strike, and other times it is not?

Yeah...I wasn't really thrilled with how this turned out as people seem to find it confusing and I'm not surprised.

If you are postured up and you land a strike it will cancel the transition attempt
by the guy on the bottom.

If you are postured up and the guy on the bottom blocks your strike, the guy on the bottom will have a window where he can attempt a transition without worrying about a strike interrupting the transition.

If the guy on top is not postured up, a strike should never cancel a transition.

The idea was to try and mimic the mechanics around the parry where a successful parry give you a counter window, here a successful block would give you freedom to pass.

Unfortunately we don't really sell it with animations so it just ends up looking like the guy gave up on the transition.

I'd really like to get some different transition cancel animations in there that sell the fact that the strike was the reason for the failure, something like a bigger hit reaction as he falls back into the position.

But as of right now we don't have those animations.

I really think this game needs a favourite - underdog multiplier for online leaderboards. Maybe based on the fighters overall ratings. Imo it is just lame seeing most of the top ranked users grinding wins with fighters like Jones, Aldo, GSP, Werdum...

For example getting a win with Cung Le over Jon Jones should get you more points than vice versa.

One thing that would add to the game that doesnt get talked about much are ground position against the cage. There are many times where I take a guy down near the cage and he lands perfectly with his back up against the cage and then we just clumsily slide down together until he is on his back. A ton of ground work is done up against the cage and adding it to the game would have been a little thing that would add a more realistic feel.

I was 18-2 online until the game decided to have me get flash ko'd 4 times in 5 fights. I was winning all of them too. The one other I lost was against Jon Jones 30-27 decision. You literally can't do crap against him.

Ooop as I wrote this I just got flash ko'd again. Spinning back kick after spinning back kick. He was literally getting tooled in that fight. I dunno what the hell is going on.
