The spinning kick

[UFCBlackbelt]

Really dont like how fast this comes out, you have guys like SP_the_ghost who's entire style revolves around throwing max holloway's insanely fast spinning kicks, this needs a reduction

It’s slow enough to block in time. It might not be realistic, but it’s balanced. You don’t want people pull countering spinning heel kicks constantly.

If you combine it with the jab-leg kick it becomes a guessing game, it needs to be nerfed, nobody throws spinning kicks that fast except maybe barboza

I’ll have to try this. I’ll come back in a tad.

Sometimes it’s ultra fast, sometimes it’s at a good speed.

I don't online much but I generally throw my spins nekked because I find they feel comically fast off a jab most of the time.

I think they're fine naked though.

With that said. I don't find them hard to avoid, if someone's spamming them on you, if you make them whiff a few they're going to be at a significant stamina disadvantage.
Though that's probably easier said than done if they're spamming 1-low 1-spin and mixing it up, the kicks will disrupt your lunge.

Though I've avoided them with the smaller backstep, too.

Though I do use Yair/Wonderbreads Lead leg side kick - Spinning Heel kick combo like a moooootherf**Ker.

Semi-unrelated but I freaking love landing the strafing or retreating variants of the spinning heel. Feels good.

So cheeky.

Strike speed being combined is the issue

Max has fast hands and kicks in game because of it
