A lot of this stuff is good I think. However, it's difficult to say without testing it out. One thing I don't like is them making the clinch useless... this is what happens when everyone bitches about it without learning how to use it tho. It certainly needed to be balanced more but I think they went too far. They've nerfed it in 3 different ways. Maybe it will play nicely once I get used to it tho.

Having said that about the clinch... one of the glaring problems with it is that blocking takedowns is much harder than blocking someone shooting for a single or double leg. I went through a phase of questioning whether I was even pressing the right buttons. I don't know if it was intentional or not but they definitely seem harder to deny than takedowns outside the clinch.

The fact that they added the stockton slap makes me so happy tho lol.

I like it. I like it a lot. AI definitely needs to be a bit tougher.

I'm more interested in when we'll get some more fighters DLC. But this is cool.
