I haven't had the misfortune of facing a button spammer yet thank god. Way to kick his @$$ though. Stupid spammers

I love fighting guys that spam hooks. I can parry most hooks, but even if you cant parry, a good jab stuffs them... Once you get momentum if they keep spamming you can own them with thought out combos (I also will sometimes clinch them after I parry, you will get a knee off then let go and work em).

Lesnar is the equivalent of a button spammer. You gotta calmly weigh through them use skill and pick em apart. I have only lost to one of those guys when they are Fedor and manage a flash KO. Otherwise my record is perfect against them.

You have more respect from me than almost every game company representative on OS. Not only do you know your game, you know the sport itself.

it's not move unlock.. it's arm sub level 2 to build up your attributes and it says you have to get them in armbar, starts you in full mount with no where to go.

I love that. It's crazy how they start complaining because you stop them. Just shows you how lame they really are.

Just got my copy and the sender sent me a PS3 copy. WTF???? I ordered the 360 version. Pretty frustrated right now.

the problem is off of your parry if they take fedor or custom fighter or anyone with high range and speed is if they use the button controls the parry doesnt screw up timing they can continue with a right if the left was parried no problem or with a left if the right was parried no problem. if these were jabs and crosses being parried it wouldnt be as big of a deal, but with power punches like hooks, the spamers should be forced to have the animation reset before the commencement of the spam, as it stands now, trying to parry and counter one of the numbskulls is actually leading to the opposite hand of the one that was parried getting there first and countering and rocking you. this is where the imbalance comes in. I dont care about how fast they can put combos together as long as with power punches a successful parry disrupts said combo. this is only an issue with classic control users, if the opponent is using total strike, the parry does interrupt them. a guy who goes by the handle "xix Fate xix" on ea's forums actually posted a video of this with the parries doing nothing to disrupt the combo

I don't know what to tell ya. It's the exact same parry animation, I have no problem stuffing these guys with repeated cross, body shot, headshot, whatever. You just get that one parry and you will have time for a jab or cross before they can hit you again. (maybe you aren't letting go of block?) I don't know. I honestly fight these guys all the time and really love to wreck them.

I will admit if it's Fedor, it's not as easy, I usually try to dash out of his range and head kick him right after I parry Fedor. Or parry and immediately clinch him, rock him with a knee (if they don't ease up on buttons I just keep hammering them with knees). Fedor's strikes are not as deadly in clinch and ground and guys with buttons have a very large disadvantage in clinch and ground game.
